Abstract Background: Right ventricular dysfunction is a major complication in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and, despite its prognostic implications, is rarely considered in routine clinical analysis. Objectives: To compare RV function variables with standard and advanced echocardiographic techniques in patients with stable COPD and controls. Methods: Twenty COPD patients classified as GOLD ≥ II (13 men aged 68.4 ± 8.3 years) and 20 matched controls were compared. Myocardial strain/strain rate indices were obtained by tissue Doppler and two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography. Right ventricular ejection fraction was obtained with three-dimensional software. Free wall myocardial thickness (FWMT) and tricuspid annular systolic excursion (TAPSE) were also measured. Numerical variables were compared between groups with Student's t-test or the Mann-Whitney test. Associations between categorical variables were determined with Fisher's exact test. P-values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: All myocardial deformation indices, particularly global longitudinal strain (-17.2 ± 4.4 vs -21.2: ± 4.4 = 0.001) and 3D right ventricular ejection fraction (40.8 ± 9.3% vs 51.1 ± 6.4% p <0.001) were reduced in COPD patients. These patients presented higher right ventricular FWMT and lower TAPSE values than controls. Conclusion: Myocardial deformation indices, either tissue Doppler or speckle tracking echocardiography and 3D right ventricular ejection fraction, are robust markers of right ventricular dysfunction in patients with stable COPD. Assessing global longitudinal strain by speckle tracking echocardiography is a more practical and reproducible method.

In this chapter, the main prognostic markers of Chagas heart disease are addressed, with an emphasis on the most recent findings and questions, establishing the basis for a broad discussion of recommendations and new approaches to managing Chagas cardiopathy. The main biological and genetic markers and the contribution of the electrocardiogram, echocardiogram and cardiac magnetic resonance are presented. We also discuss the most recent therapeutic proposals for heart failure, thromboembolism and arrhythmias, as well as current experience in heart transplantation in patients suffering from severe Chagas cardiomyopathy. The clinical and epidemiological challenges introduced by acute Chagas disease due to oral contamination are discussed. In addition, we highlight the importance of ageing and comorbidities in influencing the outcome of chronic Chagas heart disease. Finally, we discuss the importance of public policies, the vital role of funding agencies, universities, the scientific community and health professionals, and the application of new technologies in finding solutions for better management of Chagas heart disease.

Abstract Introduction: Heart transplantation is the treatment indicated for patients with advanced and refractory heart failure (HF). The transplant is expected to increase survival and improve the level of health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The aim of this study was to compare the level of HRQoL, as well as social and clinical variables, between patients with advanced HF and heart transplant (HT) recipients. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study, conducted at a Brazilian university hospital, during outpatient consultations. The level of HRQoL was assessed using the World Health Organization Quality of Life-Bref questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data, and the comparison of the level of HRQoL was performed using the Mann-Whitney U test. Results: Two hundred sixty-two patients participated in the study. Seventy-nine of them had advanced-stage HF and 183 were HT recipients. Compared to patients with advanced HF, HT recipients had a better level of HRQoL, were less frequently absent from work due to health problems, had higher income, used a higher number of medications, and there was a higher percentage of retirees among them (P-value < 0.001). Conclusion: In every comparison, HT recipients showed a better level of HRQoL than patients with advanced HF, along with less absence from work and higher income. These results suggest that heart transplantation can improve HRQoL and survival of patients with advanced HF.

OBJECTIVES: This observational, cross-sectional study based aimed to test whether heart failure (HF)-disease management program (DMP) components are influencing care and clinical decision-making in Brazil. METHODS: The survey respondents were cardiologists recommended by experts in the field and invited to participate in the survey via printed form or email. The survey consisted of 29 questions addressing site demographics, public versus private infrastructure, HF baseline data of patients, clinical management of HF, performance indicators, and perceptions about HF treatment. RESULTS: Data were obtained from 98 centers (58% public and 42% private practice) distributed across Brazil. Public HF-DMPs compared to private HF-DMP were associated with a higher percentage of HF-DMP-dedicated services (79% vs 24%; OR: 12, 95% CI: 94-34), multidisciplinary HF (MHF)-DMP [84% vs 65%; OR: 3; 95% CI: 1-8), HF educational programs (49% vs 18%; OR: 4; 95% CI: 1-2), written instructions before hospital discharge (83% vs 76%; OR: 1; 95% CI: 0-5), rehabilitation (69% vs 39%; OR: 3; 95% CI: 1-9), monitoring (44% vs 29%; OR: 2; 95% CI: 1-5), guideline-directed medical therapy-HF use (94% vs 85%; OR: 3; 95% CI: 0-15), and less B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) dosage (73% vs 88%; OR: 3; 95% CI: 1-9), and key performance indicators (37% vs 60%; OR: 3; 95% CI: 1-7). In comparison to non- MHF-DMP, MHF-DMP was associated with more educational initiatives (42% vs 6%; OR: 12; 95% CI: 1-97), written instructions (83% vs 68%; OR: 2: 95% CI: 1-7), rehabilitation (69% vs 17%; OR: 11; 95% CI: 3-44), monitoring (47% vs 6%; OR: 14; 95% CI: 2-115), GDMT-HF (92% vs 83%; OR: 3; 95% CI: 0-15). In addition, there were less use of BNP as a biomarker (70% vs 84%; OR: 2; 95% CI: 1-8) and key performance indicators (35% vs 51%; OR: 2; 95% CI: 91,6) in the non-MHF group. Physicians considered changing or introducing new medications mostly when patients were hospitalized or when observing worsening disease and/or symptoms. Adherence to drug treatment and non-drug treatment factors were the greatest medical problems associated with HF treatment. CONCLUSION: HF-DMPs are highly heterogeneous. New strategies for HF care should consider the present study highlights and clinical decision-making processes to improve HF patient care.

Introdução: a insuficiência cardíaca (IC) é um grave problema de saúde. Pacientes com IC em estágio avançado apresentam, além de baixa expectativa de vida, alteração no nível de qualidade de vida (QV). Objetivo: analisar o nível de QV de pacientes com IC avançada, candidatos ou não ao transplante cardíaco (TC). Método: estudo transversal realizado em um hospital universitário brasileiro, em que os pacientes foram submetidos à avaliação da QV pelo Minnesota Living With Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ). Resultados: participaram do estudo 76 pacientes. A principal etiologia da IC foi a chagásica (25 pacientes). As classes funcionais mais frequentes foram NYHA II (26 pacientes) e III (33 pacientes). Pacientes em avaliação para TC e aqueles em fila para TC não apresentaram diferença estatisticamente significativa na avaliação do nível de QV. A pontuação dos pacientes segundo as dimensões avaliadas no MLHFQ foram: dimensão física com mediana 28,5; emocional, 13; outras questões, 21; e, no escore total, 61. O modelo final na análise multivariada demonstrou que a QV está associada a variáveis como classe funcional da IC, número de medicações em uso, número de comorbidades e a ocupação do lar. Discussão e Conclusão: a IC é doença grave, que impacta negativamente na sobrevida e na QV. Neste estudo, o nível de QV dos pacientes esteve associado à classe funcional da IC - NYHA, ao número de medicações em uso e à ocupação do lar. Ações que estimulem e favoreçam a adesão ao tratamento otimizado devem ser incentivadas.(AU)

Abstract Background: Heart failure (HF) is a severe public health problem because of its high morbidity and mortality and elevated costs, thus requiring better understanding of its course. In its complex and multifactorial pathogenesis, sympathetic hyperactivity plays a relevant role. Considering that sympathetic dysfunction is already present in the initial phases of chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy (CCC) and frequently associated with a worse prognosis, we assumed it could be more severe in CCC than in cardiomyopathies of other etiologies (non-CCC). Objectives: To assess the cardiac sympathetic dysfunction 123I-MIBG) of HF, comparing individuals with CCC to those with non-CCC, using heart transplant (HT) patients as denervated heart parameters. Methods: We assessed 76 patients with functional class II-VI HF, being 25 CCC (17 men), 25 non-CCC (14 men) and 26 HT (20 men), by use of cardiac 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine 123I-MIBG) scintigraphy, estimating the early and late heart-to-mediastinum ratio (HMR) of 123I-MIBG uptake and cardiac washout (WO%). The 5% significance level was adopted in the statistical analysis. Results: The early and late HMR values were 1.73 ± 0.24 and 1.58 ± 0.27, respectively, in CCC, and 1.62 ± 0.21 and 1.44 ± 0.16 in non-CCC (p = NS), being, however, higher in HT patients (p < 0.001). The WO% values were 41.65 ± 21.4 (CCC), 47.37 ± 14.19% (non-CCC) and 43.29 ± 23.02 (HT), p = 0.057. The late HMR values showed a positive weak correlation with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in CCC and non-CCC (r = 0.42 and p = 0.045; and r = 0.49 and p = 0.015, respectively). Conclusion: Sympathetic hyperactivity 123I-MIBG) was evidenced in patients with class II-IV HF, LVEF < 45%, independently of the HF etiology, as compared to HT patients.


Resumo Fundamentos: A insuficiência cardíaca (IC) representa um grave problema de saúde pública pela alta morbimortalidade e custos envolvidos, exigindo uma melhor compreensão de sua evolução. Em sua patogênese, complexa e multifatorial, a hiperatividade simpática ocupa relevante papel. Considerando que a disfunção simpática está presente já nas fases iniciais da cardiopatia chagásica crônica (CCC), frequentemente associando-se a um pior prognóstico, supomos que pudesse ser mais grave na CCC que nas demais etiologias (não-CCC). Objetivos: Avaliar a disfunção simpática cardíaca (123I-MIBG) da IC, comparando-se os portadores de CCC aos não-CCC, utilizando os pacientes transplantados cardíacos (TC) como parâmetro de coração desnervado. Métodos: Estudamos 76 pacientes com IC classe funcional II-VI, sendo 25 CCC (17 homens), 25 não-CCC (14 homens) e 26 TC (20 homens), pela cintilografia cardíaca (123I-MIBG), estimando-se a captação (HMR) precoce e tardia e o washout cardíaco (Wc%). Nas análises estatísticas, o nível de significância foi de 5%. Resultados: Os valores da HMR precoce e da tardia foram 1,73 ± 0,24 e 1,58 ± 0,27, respectivamente, na CCC, e 1,62 ± 0,21 e 1,44 ± 0,16 na não-CCC (p = NS), sendo, porém, mais elevados nos TC (p < 0,001). Os valores de Wc% foram 41,65 ± 21,4 (CCC), 47,37 ± 14,19% (não-CCC) e 43,29 ± 23,02 (TC), p = 0,057. Os valores de HMR tardia apresentaram correlação positiva fraca com a fração de ejeção de ventrículo esquerdo (FEVE) na CCC e na não-CCC (r = 0,42 e p = 0,045; e r = 0,49 e p = 0,015, respectivamente). Conclusão: Evidenciou-se a presença de hiperatividade simpática (123I-MIBG) em pacientes com IC classe II-IV, FEVE < 45%, independentemente da etiologia da IC, quando comparados aos pacientes TC.

Abstract Introduction: Primary graft dysfunction is a major cause of mortality after heart transplantation. Objective: To evaluate correlations between donor-related clinical/biochemical markers and the occurrence of primary graft dysfunction/clinical outcomes of recipients within 30 days of transplant. Methods: The prospective study involved 43 donor/recipient pairs. Data collected from donors included demographic and echocardiographic information, noradrenaline administration rates and concentrations of soluble tumor necrosis factor receptors (sTNFR1 and sTNFR2), interleukins (IL-6 and IL-10), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, C-reactive protein and cardiac troponin I. Data collected from recipients included operating, cardiopulmonary bypass, intensive care unit and hospitalization times, inotrope administration and left/right ventricular function through echocardiography. Results: Recipients who developed moderate/severe left ventricular dysfunction had received organs from significantly older donors (P =0.020). Recipients from donors who required moderate/high doses of noradrenaline (>0.23 µg/kg/min) around harvesting time exhibited lower post-transplant ventricular ejection fractions (P =0.002) and required longer CPB times (P =0.039). Significantly higher concentrations of sTNFR1 (P =0.014) and sTNFR2 (P =0.030) in donors were associated with reduced intensive care unit times (≤5 days) in recipients, while higher donor IL-6 (P =0.029) and IL-10 (P =0.037) levels were correlated with reduced hospitalization times (≤25 days) in recipients. Recipients who required moderate/high levels of noradrenaline for weaning off cardiopulmonary bypass were associated with lower donor concentrations of sTNFR2 (P =0.028) and IL-6 (P =0.001). Conclusion: High levels of sTNFR1, sTNFR2, IL-6 and IL-10 in donors were associated with enhanced evolution in recipients. Allografts from older donors, or from those treated with noradrenaline doses >0.23 µg/kg/min, were more frequently affected by primary graft dysfunction within 30 days of surgery.

Background: The autonomic nervous system plays a central role in cardiovascular regulation; sympathetic activation occurs during myocardial ischemia. Objective: To assess the spectral analysis of heart rate variability during stent implantation, comparing the types of stent. Methods: This study assessed 61 patients (mean age, 64.0 years; 35 men) with ischemic heart disease and indication for stenting. Stent implantation was performed under Holter monitoring to record the spectral analysis of heart rate variability (Fourier transform), measuring the low-frequency (LF) and high-frequency (HF) components, and the LF/HF ratio before and during the procedure. Results: Bare-metal stent was implanted in 34 patients, while the others received drug-eluting stents. The right coronary artery was approached in 21 patients, the left anterior descending, in 28, and the circumflex, in 9. As compared with the pre-stenting period, all patients showed an increase in LF and HF during stent implantation (658 versus 185 ms2, p = 0.00; 322 versus 121, p = 0.00, respectively), with no change in LF/HF. During stent implantation, LF was 864 ms2 in patients with bare-metal stents, and 398 ms2 in those with drug-eluting stents (p = 0.00). The spectral analysis of heart rate variability showed no association with diabetes mellitus, family history, clinical presentation, beta-blockers, age, and vessel or its segment. Conclusions: Stent implantation resulted in concomitant sympathetic and vagal activations. Diabetes mellitus, use of beta-blockers, and the vessel approached showed no influence on the spectral analysis of heart rate variability. Sympathetic activation was lower during the implantation of drug-eluting stents. .


Fundamento: O sistema nervoso autônomo tem papel central na regulação cardiovascular, ocorrendo uma ativação simpática durante a isquemia miocárdica. Objetivo: Avaliar a análise espectral da frequência cardíaca (AE) durante o implante de stent, comparando os tipos de stent. Métodos: Foram estudados 61 pacientes (idade média de 64 anos), 35 homens, com cardiopatia isquêmica e indicação de implante de stent. O implante foi feito sob monitoramento pelo Holter para o registro da AE (transformação de Fourier), com medidas dos componentes LF (baixa frequência), HF (alta frequência) e relação LF/HF, antes e durante o procedimento. Resultados: Implante de stent convencional feito em 34 pacientes; nos demais, farmacológico. A coronária abordada foi a direita em 21 pacientes, a descendente anterior em 28, a circunflexa em nove. Houve aumento do LF e do HF durante o implante em todos os pacientes, comparando-se com o período antes do implante (658 versus 185 ms2, p = 0,00, para LF; 322 versus 121 ms2, p = 0,00, para HF, respectivamente), sem alteração da LF/HF. LF durante o implante foi de 864 ms2 nos pacientes com stent convencional e de 398 com farmacológico (p = 0,00). Não houve associação entre a AE e a presença de diabetes, história familiar, apresentação clínica, uso de betabloqueador (BB), idade, vaso ou seu segmento. Conclusões: O implante de stent resultou em ativação simpática e concomitante ativação vagal. Não houve influência do quadro de diabetes, uso de BB e vaso sobre a AE. Houve menor ativação simpática durante o implante de stent farmacológico. .

FUNDAMENTO: Estudos demonstram que a dispersão da onda P (DP) e o índice de volume do átrio esquerdo (Aesc) são preditores de eventos cardiovasculares (EC). OBJETIVO: Verificar o valor prognóstico da dispersão da onda P e do Aesc para a ocorrência de EC em pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca. MÉTODOS: Estudo longitudinal e prospectivo com 78 pacientes consecutivos com idade média de 47,2 anos, sendo 52 homens, estáveis com insuficiência cardíaca, submetidos à avaliação clínica, aos exames de eletrocardiograma e ao ecocardiograma, com seguimento de 26,5 meses. RESULTADOS: As médias das variáveis foram: 50 ms DP e 35,5 ml/m² Aesc. Considerando-se DP > 40 ms e como referência Aesc > 28 ml/m², o valor preditivo positivo da DP foi de 87,5% e o negativo de 76,9%. Durante o seguimento, 21 pacientes apresentaram EC. Houve associação entre as medidas do átrio esquerdo, os volumes do ventrículo esquerdo e a fração de ejeção e EC. Não houve associação entre a DP e EC. Pela análise multivariada, o átrio esquerdo e o Aesc foram preditores de eventos (p = 0,00 e 0,02). Pela curva de operação característica para a variável estável EC, foram obtidas as áreas de 0,80 e 0,69 para Aesc (p = 0,00) e Aesc > 28 ml/m² (p = 0,01). As curvas de sobrevida (Kaplan-Meier) livre daqueles eventos para Aesc > 28 ml/m² e para a etiologia chagásica demonstraram razão de chance de 14,4 (p = 0,00) e de 3,2 (p = 0,03). Não houve diferença de evolução entre pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca isquêmica e não isquêmica. CONCLUSÃO: DP não esteve correlacionada a EC. Aesc foi um preditor independente de EC e os chagásicos apresentaram pior evolução.


BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that P-wave dispersion (PWD) and left atrial volume index (LAVi) are predictors of cardiovascular events (CE). OBJECTIVE: To verify the prognostic value of PWD and LAVi for the occurrence of CE in patients with heart failure (HF). METHODS: This was a longitudinal prospective study of 78 consecutive patients with a mean age of 47.2 years, of which 52 were males. Patients had stable HF and underwent clinical evaluation, electrocardiogram and echocardiogram assessments, with a follow-up of 26.5 months. RESULTS: The means of the variables were: 50 ms for PWD and 35.5 mL/m² for LAVi. Considering PWD > 40 ms and, as reference, LAVi > 28 mL/m², the positive predictive value of PWD was 87.5% and the negative predictive value was 76.9%. During follow-up, 21 patients had CE. There was an association between left atrial measurements, left ventricular volumes, ejection fraction and CE. There was no association between PWD and CE. At the multivariate analysis, the left atrium and LAVi were predictors of events (p = 0.00 and 0.02). Through the operating characteristic curve for the variable stable CE, areas of 0.80 and 0.69 were obtained for LAVi (p = 0.00) and LAVi > 28 mL/m² (p = 0.01). Survival curves (Kaplan-Meier) free of those events for LAVi > 28 mL/m² and for Chagas disease etiology showed an odds ratio of 14.4 (p = 0.00) and 3.2 (p = 0.03). There was no difference in outcome between patients with ischemic and nonischemic heart failure. CONCLUSION: PWD was not correlated to CE. LAVi was an independent predictor of CE, and chagasic patients showed worse outcomes.

INTRODUÇÃO E OBJETIVO: O teste de esforço com protocolo de rampa é descrito como o que mais se adéqua à condição física de indivíduos com insuficiência cardíaca (IC). Porém, não há padronização descrita sobre incrementos de velocidade e inclinação. Este estudo teve como objetivo descrever resultados encontrados a partir da aplicação de um teste de esforço com protocolo de rampa adaptado para indivíduos com IC, classes II e III da New York Heart Association (NYHA). MÉTODOS: 41 indivíduos com média de idade de 46,37 ± 8,98 anos e fração de ejeção de 31,51 ± 9,45% fizeram o teste de esforço com análise de gases expirados em esteira, com protocolo de rampa desenvolvido a partir de critérios definidos pelo estudo de Barbosa e Silva e Sobral. Análise estatística: Foi realizada análise descritiva com distribuição de frequência e o tempo de teste foi apresentado como média ± desvio padrão. Foi realizado o modelo de regressão linear incluindo classe da NYHA, idade e fração de ejeção como variáveis explicativas para tempo de teste. Foi considerado significativo p < 0,05. RESULTADOS: O tempo médio do teste foi 8,89 ± 3,57 minutos e o R alcançado foi 1,12 ± 0,11. Sessenta e um porcento da amostra apresentou duração do teste entre seis e 12 minutos, considerando intervalo de média ± 1 desvio padrão, e 73,2% da amostra apresentou duração entre seis e 15 minutos. CONCLUSÃO: Os achados deste estudo demonstraram que a maioria dos indivíduos com IC finalizou o teste com o protocolo de rampa adaptado dentro da duração considerada adequada pela literatura.


INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: The exercise test with ramp protocol is described as the one which best adapts to physical condition of subjects with heart failure (HF). However, velocity and inclination standard increments have not been described yet. This study aimed to describe the results found after application of an exercise test with ramp protocol adjusted for subjects with HF, New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II and III. METHODS: 41 subjects with mean age 46.37 ± 8.98 years and ejection fraction of 31.51 ± 9.45% performed the exercise test with expired gas analysis on treadmill with ramp protocol developed from criteria defined in a study by Barbosa and Silva et al. Statistical Analysis: descriptive analysis was performed with frequency distribution and the test time was presented as mean ± standard deviation. Linear regression model was used and NYHA class, age and ejection fraction were included as explanation variables for the test time. A p value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS: Mean test time was 8.89 ± 3.57 minutes and the R was 1.12 ± 0.11. Sixty-one percent of the sample presented test duration between 6 and 12 minutes - mean ± 1 standard deviation interval - and 73.2% presented duration between 6 and 15 minutes. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated that the majority of the subjects with HF concluded the test with ramp protocol adjusted in time considered adequate in the literature.

Fundamento: gestações em fases mais adiantadas da vida podem associar-se a hipertensão arterial sistêmica crônica e hipertrofia ventricular esquerda, ocasionando aumentos nas taxas de morbimortalidade cardiovascular. Objetivos: avaliar a eficácia do eletrocardiograma na identificação de gestantes hipertensas crônicas portadoras de hipertrofia ventricular esquerda. Métodos: foram estudadas 80 gestantes no 3º trimestre de gestação. Utilizou-se a quantificação ecocardiográfica da massa ventricular esquerda como padrão-ouro para o diagnóstico de hipertrofia miocárdica, sendo considerado o ponto de corte de 122 g/m² como limite superior normal para massa ventricular esquerda no 3º trimestre de gestação. Foram utilizados os critérios de Sokolow-Lyon, Lewis, Sokolow-Lyon-Rappaport, Gubner, Cornell, escore de pontos de Romhilt e Estes, Grant, onda ?R? de aVL > 11 mm, razão RV6 / RV5 > 1. Resultados: todos os critérios eletrocardiográficos analisados apresentaram baixa eficácia para o reconhecimento da hipertrofia ventricular esquerda em gestantes hipertensas crônicas. Conclusões: apesar da ampla difusão do eletrocardiograma como recurso propedêutico, ao utilizá-lo para a pesquisa de hipertrofia ventricular esquerda em gestantes hipertensas crônicas, deve-se considerar suas importantes limitações para essa finalidade.


Background: Pregnancy at late stages of life may be associated with chronic systemic arterial hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy, causing increased cardiovascular morbimortality rates. Objectives: To assess electrocardiograph efficiency to identify chronic hypertensive pregnant women with left ventricular hypertrophy. Methods: Eighty women in the third trimester of pregnancy were investigated. Echocardiographic quantification of left ventricular mass was used as gold standard to diagnose myocardial hypertrophy, the 122g/m2 cut-off being assumed as the maximal limit for normal left ventricular mass in the third trimester of pregnancy. The following criteria were used:Sokolow-Lyon, Lewis, Sokolow-Lyon-Rappaport, Gubner, Cornell, Grant, Romhilt and Estes point scores, ?R? wave of aVL > 11 mm, ratio RV5 / RV5 > 1. Results: All the electrocardiograph criteria analyzed showed low efficacy to recognize left ventricular hypertrophy in chronic hypertensive pregnant women. Conclusions: Despite wide use of electrocardiograph as a propaedeutic resource, studies on left ventricular hypertrophy in chronic hypertensive pregnant women should consider the limitation of this resource

INTRODUÇÃO: O paciente com insuficiência cardíaca desenvolve aumento da pressão pulmonar por mecanismo retrógrado e a hipertensão arterial pulmonar (HP) é um marcador de mau prognóstico. OBJETIVO: Correlacionar pressão pulmonar ao ecogardiograma (eco) e ao cateterismo, em pacientes em lista de espera para transplante cardíaco (TC), especialmente nos chagásicos. MÉTODOS: Avaliamos 90 pacientes no HC-UFMG entre 2004 e 2009. Todos realizaram cateterismo e eco no pré-transplante. A idade média foi de 45,5 anos, sendo 68(75,6%) homens, 42(46,7%) chagásicos, 32(35,6%) portadores de miocardiopatia dilatada e 10(11,1%) isquêmicos. RESULTADOS: A eco-PSAP (pressão sistólica arterial pulmonar) média foi de 45 ± 12mmHg. A cat-PSAP média foi de 47 ± 14mmHg. A eco-PSAP-chagásicos foi 41,7 ±12,5 mmHg e não-chagásicos, 47,6 ±12,8 mmHg P=0,04. A cat-PSAP-chagásicos foi de 46 ±12,1 mmHg e não-chagásicos 48,7±12,8mmHg; P=0,43. Oito pacientes apresentavam cat-PSAP>60. A correlação entre a eco-PSAP e o cat-PSAP nos chagásicos foi r=0,45, P=0,008 e nos não-chagásicos de r=0,66, P<0,001. A eco-PSAP-chagásico >32,5mmHg tem uma sensibilidade de 79% e especificidade de 75% para diagnosticar HP, com área sob a curva ROC de 0,819. A eco-PSAP-não chagásico>35,5 mmHg tem sensibilidade de 82% e especificidade de 70% para HP, com área sob a curva ROC de 0,776. CONCLUSÕES: Há boa correlação entre a eco-PSAP e a cat-PSAP (r=0,54) entre os pacientes em fila de espera. A eco-PSAP foi menor no grupo dos chagásicos. O ecocardiograma é um método útil para diagnosticar e monitorar a pressão pulmonar previamente ao TC, especialmente em pacientes chagásicos. Entretanto, não é possível prescindirmos do cateterismo para avaliar a reatividade pulmonar com o teste com vasodilatador e indicar com segurança o TC mesmo nos pacientes chagásicos.


INTRODUCTION: The patients suffering heart failure develop an increase in pulmonary pressure because of a retrograde mechanism. The pulmonary hypertension is a prognostic marker. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to correlate pulmonary hypertension measured by echocardiogram versus catheterization in pre-heart transplant patients on waiting list. METHODS: Data from 90 patients of the Clinical Hospital UFMG were collected between 2004 and 2009. All the patients took an echo and catheterization as an integral part of pre-heart transplant. Mean age was 45.5 years old, 68 (75.6%) male. Fourty-two (46.7%) were Chagas' disease patients, 32 (35.6%) presented idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy, 10 (11.1%) had ischemic cardyomiopathy. RESULTS: The mean eco-PASP was 45 ± 12mmHg). The mean cat-PASP was 47 ±14mmHg. The eco-PASP-Chagas was 41.7 ±12,5 mmHg and non-Chagas 47.6 ±12.8 mmHg P=0.04. The cat-PASP-Chagas was 46 ±12.1 mmHg and non-Chagas 48.7 ±12.8 mmHg P=0.43. Eight patients had cat-PASP>60. The correlation between eco-PASP and cat-PASP in Chagas' patients was r=0.45; P=0.008 and in the non-Chagas was r=0.66; P<0.001. The eco-PASP-Chagas>32,5mmHg has a sensitivity of 79% and specificity of 75% to diagnose PH, with an area under the curve of 0.819. The eco-PASP-non-Chagas>35.5 mmHg has a sensitivity of 82% and a specificity of 70% to diagnose PH, with an area under the curve of 0.776. CONCLUSIONS: There is a good correlation between eco-PASP and cat-PASP (r=0.54) in pre-heart transplant patients. The eco-PASP was lower in the Chagas' group. The echocardiogram is an important method to diagnosis and control pulmonary pressure in pre-heart transplant, specifically in Chagas' patients. The catheterization is still important to evaluate pulmonary reactivity during vasodilation test.

FUNDAMENTO: O conhecimento teórico e a habilidade de realizar ressuscitação cardiopulmonar (RCP) de qualidade são essenciais para a sobrevida do paciente vítima de morte súbita. OBJETIVO: Determinar se o ensino apenas teórico é capaz de promover o ensino da RCP de boa qualidade e conhecimento em profissionais da área da saúde comparado com curso teórico-prático de suporte básico de vida. MÉTODOS: Vinte enfermeiras voluntárias participaram do treinamento teórico de RCP e desfibrilação externa automática (DEA) utilizando aula teórica e vídeo usado nos cursos de Suporte Básico de Vida da American Heart Association (BLS-AHA; grupo A). Foram comparadas com 26 alunos profissionais da saúde que participaram de um curso regular teórico-prático de BLS-AHA (grupo B). Após os cursos, os participantes foram submetidos à avaliação teórica e prática como recomendado nos cursos do BLS-AHA. As avaliações práticas foram gravadas e posteriormente pontuadas por três instrutores experientes. A avaliação teórica foi um teste de múltipla escolha usada nos cursos regulares do BLS-AHA. RESULTADOS: Não houve diferença na avaliação teórica (p = ns), entretanto a avaliação prática foi consistentemente pior no grupo A, evidenciado pelos três examinadores (p < 0,05). CONCLUSÃO: A Utilização de vídeos de RCP e aulas teóricas não melhoraram a capacidade psicomotora em realizar RCP de boa qualidade, entretanto pode melhorar a capacidade cognitiva (conhecimento). Áreas críticas de atuação são o ABCD primário e o correto uso do DEA.


BACKGROUND: Theoretical knowledge and skill to perform good quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are essential for the survival of patients with sudden death. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether a theoretical course alone is sufficient to promote good quality CPR training and knowledge for health professionals in comparison to a theoretical-practical basic life support training. METHODS: Twenty volunteer nurses participated in the theoretical CPR and automated external defibrillation (AED) training by means of a theoretical class and video used in the Basic Life Support Training of the American Heart Association (BLS-AHA; group A). They were compared to other 26 health professionals who attended regular theoretical-practical BLS-AHA training (group B). After the training, the participants took theoretical and practical tests as recommended in BLS-AHA courses. The practical tests were recorded and were later scored by three experienced instructors. The theoretical test was a multiple choice test used in regular BLS-AHA courses. RESULTS: No difference was observed in the theoretical tests (p = ns). However, the practical tests were consistently worse in group A, as evaluated by the three examiners (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The use of CPR videos and theoretical training did not improve the individuals' psychomotor ability to perform good quality CPR; however, it may improve their cognitive ability (knowledge). Critical areas of intervention are the primary ABCD and the correct use of AED.

FUNDAMENTO: O limiar anaeróbico (LA) fornece informações sobre a capacidade funcional na insuficiência cardíaca (IC). Porém, a determinação visual do LA por métodos ventilatórios é subjetiva, ficando suscetível à diferença entre examinadores. OBJETIVOS: Avaliar a reprodutibilidade intraexaminador e interexaminadores na determinação do LA em indivíduos com IC leve a moderada pelos métodos visual-gráfico e V-slope. Comparar e correlacionar os resultados encontrados. MÉTODOS: Após realização de teste ergoespirométrico em esteira, utilizaram-se os métodos visual-gráfico e V-slope para análise do LA. Para avaliar a reprodutibilidade, três examinadores detectaram o LA duas vezes em cada método, em dias distintos. Para análise estatística, utilizou-se coeficiente de correlação intraclasse (CCI) com p < 0,05. RESULTADOS: Foram avaliados 16 indivíduos com média de idade de 45,9 ± 9,7 anos, fração de ejeção do ventrículo esquerdo de 20,5 ± 8,1 por cento e consumo de oxigênio no pico do esforço de 20,6 ± 7,8 ml/kg•min-1. A reprodutibilidade intraexaminador foi alta nos dois métodos para os três examinadores, com valores de CCI entre 0,87 e 0,99. A reprodutibilidade interexaminadores foi moderada tanto no método visual-gráfico (CCI = 0,69) quanto no V-slope (CCI = 0,64). Quando se contrastaram os métodos, foi encontrado CCI de 0,91. CONCLUSÕES: A detecção do LA por meio dos métodos visual-gráfico e V-slope apresentou reprodutibilidade intraexaminador e interexaminadores alta e moderada, respectivamente. Além disso, os dois métodos demonstraram alta concordância quando contrastados. Esses resultados sugerem que ambos os métodos podem ser utilizados, de forma reprodutível, na avaliação do LA em indivíduos com IC de leve a moderada


BACKGROUND: The anaerobic threshold (AT) provides information on functional capacity in heart failure (HF). However, the visual determination of the AT by ventilatory methods is subjective, being susceptible to differences between examiners. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the inter- and intra-examiner reproducibility in the determination of the AT in patients with mild to moderate HF, using visual-graphic and V-slope methods. To compare and correlate the results. METHODS: After performing a cardiopulmonary exercise test on a treadmill, visual-graphic and V-slope methods were used for the analysis of the AT. To assess the reproducibility, three examiners determined the AT twice by each method, on different days. For statistical analysis, we used intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) with p <0.05. RESULTS: We evaluated a total of 16 subjects, with a mean age of 45.9 ± 9.7 years, left ventricle ejection fraction of 20.5 ± 8.1 percent, and peak exercise oxygen consumption of 20.6 ± 7.8 mL/kg•min-1. The intra-examiner reproducibility was high in both methods for the three examiners, with ICC values between 0.87 and 0.99. The inter-examiner reproducibility was moderate in both visual-graphic method (ICC = 0.69) and V-slope method (ICC = 0.64). When comparing methods, the ICC found was 0.91. CONCLUSION: AT determination by visual-graphic and V-slope methods showed high and moderate inter- and intra-examiner reproducibility, respectively. Moreover, both methods showed good agreement when compared with each other. These results suggest that both methods can be used in a reproducible way in AT assessment of patients with mild to moderate HF.
