Brain natriuretic peptide based strategy to detect left ventricular dysfunction...
Ribeiro, Antônio Luiz Pinho; Teixeira, Mauro Martins; Reis, Adelina Martha dos; Silva, André Talvani Pedrosa da; Perez, Amanda ArantesBackground: Left ventricular dysfunction (LVd) is the main predictor of mortality in Chagas disease (ChD). Aims: To compare the diagnostic performance of the conventional approach (ECG and chest X-ray) in the recognition of LVd in ChD, with a new strategy, in which BNP is measured in patients with an abnormal ECG. Methods: Consecutive ChD patients recruited at an Outpatient Reference Center in Belo Horizonte, B...
Altered renal response to acute volume expansion in transgenic rats harboring t...
Passaglio, Kátia Tomagnini; Baltatu, Ovidiu; Machado, Raquel do Pilar; Reis, Adelina Martha dos; Pesquero, João Bosco; Bader, MichaelThe renal response to acute volume expansion was investigated in transgenic (TGR) rats harboring the human tissue kallikrein gene. After a primer injection of 0.9% NaCl (3 ml/100 g, i.v), Sprague–Dawley (SD) or TGR rats received a continuous infusion of 0.9% NaCl (15 Al/ 100 g/min, i.a.) through a catheter placed into the carotid artery. Acute volume expansion was produced by a second injection of 0.9% NaCl (2 ...
