Many therapies used for cancer (pathology whose cases are progressively increasing in the world) such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy have numerous adverse effects, with cardiotoxicity being one of the most important. This can be defined from the detection, by an imaging method, of a reduction of at least 10% in the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), bringing it to a value below 53%. Anthracyclines (su...
Currently, the use of sodium bicarbonate (SB) as an ergogenic supplement has been linked to improved performance in several high-intensity and short time interval modalities because it is a natural buffer of the body fluids of the human body. This study aimed to evaluate the acute effect of SB supplementation on muscle strength endurance of resistance training practitioners. Crossover clinical trial, placebo-co...
The knowledge of the physiological aspects in the execution of the training in the bodybuilding is important to improve the training; being the lactate concentration an important marker applied in several types of exercises. Some studies have evaluated lactacidemia and training models but did not use squatting in their protocols. The aim of the study was to analyze blood lactate concentration in free squat exer...
Background: Despite being an important cardiovascular risk factor, hypertension has low control levels worldwide. Computerized clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) might be effective in reducing blood pressure with a potential impact in reducing cardiovascular risk. Objective: The goal of the research was to evaluate the feasibility, usability, and utility of a CDSS, TeleHAS (tele–hipertensão arterial sist...
This study presents a mathematical model to carry out the demand forecasts in relation to patientes classified as green in the emergency department of a municipality in Minas Gerais, Brazil. In addition, another approach will investigate whether the green patients demand remains the same over the weekend, as compared to the weekdays, since there is no support from Primary Health Care units over the weekend. A r...
FUNDAMENTO: Embora as doenças cardiovasculares sejam a maior causa de morbimortalidade em todo Brasil, o acesso das populações de cidades pequenas à eletrocardiografia e à avaliação cardiológica é limitado. O uso da telecardiologia para facilitar o acesso da população de municípios remotos à eletrocardiografia e à segunda opinião em cardiologia é promissora, entretanto não foi formalmente testada. OBJETIVO: Ava...
Associations between generic and specific perceived health status have been little used in the clinical practice of the cardiovascular sciences. Describe the clinical and socio-economic profile of heart failure patients (HF) and correlate their perceived health status (PHS) (generic and specific) with clinical and socio-economic variables. Cross-sectional, quantitative and analytical study approved by the ethic...
Cardiogenic shock is a state of systemic tissue hypoperfusion resulting from a primary cardiac dysfunction. When it occurs simultaneously to a non reperfusion coronary artery phenomenon, prognosis worsens and mortality chances increases. This paper reports the case of a patient presenting cardiogenic shock after acute myocardial infarction - AMI concurrently with no-reflow phenomenon. It is a clinical case, car...
The heart failure (HF) it's a self-limiting and severe condition, of varied etiology, with negative repercussions to the political-economic framework, and to health related life quality (HRLQ) of patients with HF, due to its standard symptoms and effects. Its's believed that due to the reduced cardiorespiratory competence coming for the HF, certain physical limitation levels would be expressed, impairing direct...
