Abstract INTRODUCTION: To better understand trends in the main cause of death in Brazil, we sought to analyze the burden of cardiovascular risk factors (RF) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) attributable to specific RFs in Brazil from 1990 to 2019, using the estimates from the GBD 2019 study. METHODS: To estimate RF exposure, the Summary Exposure Value (SEV) was used, whereas for disease burden attributed to RF...
INTRODUÇÃO: Diabéticos possuem risco aumentado para ocorrência de eventos cardiovasculares. Estudos revelam que os stents farmacológicos reduzem a reestenose e a revascularização da lesão-alvo em pacientes diabéticos e não-diabéticos. Entretanto, poucos estudos avaliam a segurança e a eficácia dos stents farmacológicos em diabéticos no longo prazo. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os desfechos clínicos tar...
OBJECTIVE: The association between cytokines and troponin-I with cardiac function after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass remains a topic of continued investigation. METHODS: Serial measurements, within 24h following surgery, of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, its soluble receptors, and troponin-I were performed in patients with normal ejection fraction undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. Ejectio...
