Incidence and characteristics angiographic of patients with acute myocardial / Incidência e características angiográficas de pacientes com doença miocárdica aguda

Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is defined as the death of cardiomyocytes due to prolonged ischemia, caused by thrombosis and / or vasospasm on an atherosclerotic plaque. Objective: To determine the incidence of patients with myocardial infarction undergoing primary angioplasty; characterize the anthropometric variables and identify the risk factors in this population. Methods: This was a cross-sectional, observational, retrospective study in which we collected secondary data from medical records of a hospital in a city in the state of São Paulo, where the largest number of interventions is via Public Health System, patients with a diagnosis of Myocardial Infarction, undergoing primary coronary angioplasty, from January 2011 to December 2013. Results: The total sample consisted of 437 subjects, 282 male and 155 female. In this study, there was predominance of myocardial infarction in the anterior descending artery ADA (45.51%), followed by right coronary artery RCA (38.46%), in carrying out the rescue angioplasty and stent implantation in 96.62% of cases. There was a predominance of high blood pressure as risk factors for 73.71%, followed by smoking with 41.66% of the sample. Conclusion: According to the present study data, it appears a higher prevalence of infarction occurred in the ADA, with individuals performing the rescue angioplasty procedure and the placement of the stent, and a growing incidence of drug stent placement. We observed a high incidence of risk factors, prevailing hypertension

Estratégia de monitoramento da fadiga orgânica em um grupo de idosos cardiopatas inseridos no programa de reabilitação cardíaca / Monitoring strategy of organic fatigue in a group of elderly cardiac patients entered in the cardiac rehabilitation program

Este estudo teve como objetivo identificar a ocorrência de fadiga, a qualidade do sono, e o padrão morfológico do estresse oxidativo em 11 pacientes cardiopatas submetidos à intervenção fisioterapêutica para reabilitação físico-funcional. Trata-se de um estudo observacional, longitudinal e amostra de conveniência. Os resultados mostraram que programas de reabilitação cardíaca são fundamentais para mudanças no estilo de vida e redução de novos eventos cardiovasculares. Conclui-se que idosos portadores de doença coronariana, submetidos ao programa de reabilitação cardíaca baseado na intervenção cinesioterapêutica, apresentam-se sem fadiga orgânica, com uma boa qualidade de sono, sob um estresse oxidativo com variação entre os níveis normal, leve ou moderado.

This study aimed to identify the occurrence of fatigue, sleep quality and morphology of oxidative stress in 11 patients with heart disease who underwent physical therapy intervention for physical and functional rehabilitation. This is an observational, longitudinal and convenience sample. The results showed that cardiac rehabilitation programs are fundamental to changes in lifestyle and reduction of new cardiovascular events. We conclude that elderly patients with coronary artery disease undergoing cardiac rehabilitation program based on kinesiotherapy intervention, contain no organic fatigue, with a good quality of sleep, under oxidative stress ranging between normal, mild or moderate levels.

Equilíbrio, autonomia e independência funcional de idosos ativos e sedentários: estudo preliminar / Balance, autonomy and functional independence of active and sedentary elderly: a preliminary study

Tanto o equilíbrio corporal (EC), quanto a autonomia funcional (AF) e o nível de independência (NIF) de 10 idosos sedentários (GI) foram avaliados e comparados aos dados correlatos em 10 idosos ativos (GII), todos do programa de saúde da família em Araxá (MG). Após assinarem o TCLE, foram submetidos aos testes de avaliação do EC, da AF e do NIF, além da identificação do IMC. Apesar do sobrepeso corporal e do NIF igual entre ambos, o EC e AF no GII foram significativamente maiores do que o GI, Concluímos que a prática de exercícios terapêuticos promove a saúde funcional no idoso.

Both the body balance (BB), as the functional autonomy (FA) and the level of functional independence (FI) of 10 sedentary elderly (GI) were evaluated and compared to related data in 10 active elderly (GII), all of the health program family in Araxá-MG), after signing the informed consent, were submitted to the evaluation tests of the EC, the AF and the NIF, besides the identification of BMI. Although body overweight and equal NIF between both the EC and AF were significantly higher in GII than in GI, we concluded that the practice of therapeutic exercise promotes functional health in the elderly.
