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...

Silva, Cláudia; Lopes, Pedro; Gonçalves, Mariana; Ventosa, António; Calqueiro, João; Freitas, Pedro; Guerreiro, Sara; Brito, João; Abecasis, JoãoIntroduction and objectives: Randomized controlled trials comparing stress cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) suggest similar diagnostic accuracy for detecting obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). There are few data on whether this remains true in routine clinical practice. The aim of this study was to assess clinical and angiographic characteristics of...
Impacto clínico em curto e longo prazo da Válvula Aórtica Percutânea (VAP) em P...
Guerreiro, Cláudio; Ferreira, Pedro Carrilho; Teles, Rui Campante; Braga, Pedro; Canas da Silva, Pedro; Patrício, Lino; Silva, João CarlosIntroduction: The Portuguese National Registry of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation records prospectively the characteristics and outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedures in Portugal. Objectives: To assess the 30-day and one-year outcomes of TAVI procedures in Portugal. Methods: We compared TAVI results according to the principal access used (transfemoral (TF) vs. non-transfem...

Thrombus aspiration in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction
Pereira, Hélder; Caldeira, Daniel; Teles, Rui Campante; Costa, Marco; da Silva, Pedro Canas; da Gama Ribeiro, Vasco; Brandão, Vítor; Martins, DinisBackground: We aimed to evaluate the impact of thrombus aspiration (TA) during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (P-PCI) in 'real-world' settings. Methods: We performed a retrospective study, using data from the National Registry of Interventional Cardiology (RNCI 2006-2012, Portugal) with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients treated with P-PCI. The primary outcome, in-hospital mortality...
Changes in albumin-to-creatinine ratio at 12-month follow-up in patients underg...
Sousa, Henrique; Branco, Patrícia; de Sousa Almeida, Manuel; de Araújo Gonçalves, Pedro; Gaspar, Augusta; Dores, Hélder; Mesquita, João RodrigoIntroduction: Sympathetic renal denervation (RDN) was developed as a treatment for the management of patients with resistant hypertension. This procedure may have a positive impact on hypertension-related target organ damage, particularly renal disease, but the evidence is still limited. Objective: To assess the impact of RDN on the albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) at 12-month follow-up. Methods and Results: F...
Impact of Renal Sympathetic Denervation on Left Ventricular Structure and Funct...
de Sousa Almeida, Manuel; Gonçalves, Pedro de Araújo; Branco, Patricia; Mesquita, João; Carvalho, Maria Salomé; Dores, Helder; Silva Sousa, HenriqueBACKGROUND: Catheter-based sympathetic renal denervation (RDN) is a recent therapeutic option for patients with resistant hypertension. However, the impact of RDN in left ventricular (LV) mass and function is not completely established. Our aim was to evaluate the effects of RDN on LV structure and function (systolic and diastolic) in patients with resistant hypertension (HTN). METHODS AND RESULTS: From a singl...
