Coronary atherosclerotic burden in veteran athletes
Pereira, Joana Certo; Santos, Rita; Costa, Francisco Moscoso; Monge, José; de Araújo Gonçalves, Pedro; Dores, HélderCopyright © 2024 Sociedade Portuguesa de Cardiologia. Publicado por Elsevier España, S.L.U. All rights reserved. 10.1016/j.repc.2024.03.001; INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: The association between exercise and coronary atherosclerosis still remains unclarified. We aimed to analyze the prevalence of high coronary atherosclerotic burden in veteran athletes, considering cardiovascular (CV) risk and volume of exercise...

Albuquerque, Francisco; Oliveira, Afonso Félix; de Araújo Gonçalves, Pedro; Campante Teles, Rui; de Sousa Almeida, Manuel; Gonçalves, MarianaCopyright © 2022 Sociedade Portuguesa de Cardiologia. Publicado por Elsevier España, S.L.U. All rights reserved.; INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the most common etiology of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). However, there is controversy whether invasive coronary angiography (ICA) should be used initially to exclude CAD in patients presenting wi...

Oliveira, Luís; Teles, Rui Campante; Machado, Carina; Madeira, Sérgio; Vale, Nélson; Almeida, Carla; Brito, João; Leal, Sílvio; Raposo, Luís© 2022 Sociedade Portuguesa de Cardiologia. Published by Elsevier España, S.L.U.; INTRODUCTION: During the Covid-19 pandemic there has been a general belief that hospital admissions for non-infectious causes, especially cardiovascular disease, have fallen. OBJECTIVES: To assess the impact of the pandemic on admissions for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) during the first pandemic wave. METHODS: We per...

Longitudinal Quantitative Assessment of Coronary Atherosclerotic Plaque Burden ...
Won, Ki Bum; Lee, Byoung Kwon; Heo, Ran; Park, Hyung Bok; Lin, Fay Y.; Hadamitzky, Martin; Kim, Yong Jin; Sung, Ji Min; Conte, EdoardoPublisher Copyright: © 2022 The Authors; Background: Despite a potential role of hemoglobin in atherosclerosis, data on coronary plaque volume changes (PVC) related to serum hemoglobin levels are limited. Objectives: The authors sought to evaluate coronary atherosclerotic plaque burden changes related to serum hemoglobin levels using serial coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA). Methods: A total of 8...
Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery with interarterial course
Albuquerque, Francisco; de Araújo Gonçalves, Pedro; Pinto Marques, Hugo; Ferreira, António; Freitas, Pedro; Lopes, Pedro; Gonçalves, MarianaAnomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the opposite sinus (right-ACAOS) with interarterial course (IAC) has been associated with increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD). Widespread use of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) has led to increased recognition of this condition, even among healthy individuals. Our study sought to examine the prevalence, anatomical characteristics, and o...
Differential progression of coronary atherosclerosis according to plaque compos...
Yoon, Yeonyee E.; Baskaran, Lohendran; Lee, Benjamin C.; Pandey, Mohit Kumar; Goebel, Benjamin; Lee, Sang Eun; Sung, Ji Min; Andreini, DanielePatient-specific phenotyping of coronary atherosclerosis would facilitate personalized risk assessment and preventive treatment. We explored whether unsupervised cluster analysis can categorize patients with coronary atherosclerosis according to their plaque composition, and determined how these differing plaque composition profiles impact plaque progression. Patients with coronary atherosclerotic plaque (n = 9...

Vale, Nelson; Madeira, Sérgio; Almeida, Manuel; Raposo, Luís; Freitas, Pedro; Castro, Mariana; Rodrigues, Gustavo; Oliveira, Afonso; Brito, JoãoIntroduction: Compared to bare-metal stents (BMS), drug-eluting stents reduce stent restenosis and improve subsequent revascularization rates. The impact on patients’ survival has been the subject of debate. Objective: To assess the long-term (10-year) survival of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with first-generation sirolimus-eluting stents (SES) in comparison with BMS. Methods: In...
