1. Brazilian Academy of Cardiovascular Surgery: From Idea to Reality
Abstract We report the case of a 60-year-old patient who underwent orthotopic heart transplant 14 years earlier. Routine echocardiography showed giant masses in the left atrium. There were no symptoms or thromboembolic events in the past. Magnetic resonance imaging study revealed very enlarged left atrium (8.7 × 10.6 cm) occupied by irregular smooth mass (7

2. Perspectives of the Young Cardiovascular Surgeon
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for making the diagnosis of subscapularis tears presents wide variation in the literature and there are few prospective studies. OBJECTIVE: To compare the findings from MRI and arthroscopy for diagnosing subscapularis tears. DESIGN AND SETTING: Diagnostic test study performed in a te

3. Theoretical and Experimental Investigations on Inclusion Complex β-Cyclodextrin and Sulcatone: A Cardiovascular Activity Evaluation
In this paper, we have applied state-of-the-art technologies and new investigations were developed focusing on obtaining simple and inexpensive molecules for treating cardiovascular diseases, as they are considered the leading cause of death in the world. For the first time, the inclusion complex of sulcatone (SU) and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) was achieved (us

4. Recommendations of the Neuroendocrinology Department of the Brazilian Society of Endocrinology and Metabolism for the diagnosis of Cushing’s disease in Brazil
ABSTRACT Although it is a rare condition, the accurate diagnosis and treatment of Cushing’s disease is important due to its higher morbidity and mortality compared to the general population, which is attributed to cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus and infections. Screening for hypercortisolism is recommended for patients who present multiple and p

5. The role of magnetic resonance imaging in the evaluation of transfusional iron overload in myelodysplastic syndromes
Myelodysplastic syndromes represent a group of heterogeneous hematopoietic neoplasms derived from an abnormal multipotent progenitor cell, characterized by a hyperproliferative bone marrow, dysplasia of the cellular hemopoietic elements and ineffective erythropoiesis. Anemia is a common finding in myelodysplastic syndrome patients, and blood transfusions are

6. Ortner's Syndrome: Secondary Laryngeal Paralysis Caused by a Great Thoracic Aorta Aneurysm
Introduction Recurrent laryngeal nerve injury caused by cardiovascular disease is a rare condition, and often it is the only prominent sign of an imminent break of an aortic artery aneurysm.
Objective To report left laryngeal paralysis caused by a great aortic arch aneurysm and to highlight the importanc

7. The link between cardiovascular risk, Alzheimer's disease, and mild cognitive impairment: support from recent functional neuroimaging studies
Objective: To review functional neuroimaging studies about the relationship between cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs), Alzheimer's disease (AD), and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Methods: We performed a comprehensive literature search to identify articles in the neuroimaging field addressing CVRF in AD and MCI. We included studies that used positron em

8. Estudo da toxicidade muscular pelo uso de estatinas em pacientes hipercolesterolêmicos: avaliação pela espectroscopia do hidrogênio por ressonância magnética / Study of muscle toxicity by use of statins in hypercholesterolemic patients: evaluation by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the western world and statins are the most prescribed medications for prevention and treatment. Despite being the most prescribed drugs, they are still under-used. The main cause of interruption of statin treatment is myopathy. Among the mechanisms involved in the pathophysiology of myotoxicity, deficie

9. Efeito da trombólise com rt-PA na evolução motora e espessura cortical de pacientes com AVEI / Effect of thrombolysis with rt-PA on the motor evolution and cortical thickness of stroke patients
Introdução: O Acidente Vascular Encefálico (AVE) é uma importante doença, com enorme implicação em fatores sociais e econômicos em todo o mundo, sobretudo no Brasil, onde é classificado como a maior causa de morte de origem cardiovascular, além de ser a principal responsável por grave morbidade, que traz incapacidade funcional e dependência ao pa

10. Alterações metabólicas cerebrais associadas aos fatores de risco cardiovascular: um estudo de tomografia por emissão de pósitron (PET) / Abnormalities on brain metabolism associated to cardiovascular risk factors: a positron emission tomography (PET) study
INTRODUCTION: Cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) are known to affect cerebral blood flow, possibly contributing to cognitive decline and to the emergence of Alzheimers disease (AD), the commonest form of dementia. Positron emission tomography (PET) with 18-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (18FFDG) has been widely used to demonstrate specific patterns of reduced brain g

11. Avaliação da fibrose miocárdica pela ressonância magnética e tomografia computadorizada com múltiplos detectores na cardiomiopatia hipertrófica / Myocardial fibrosis evaluation by magnetic resonance and multidetector computed tomography in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetic cardiac disorder leading cause of sudden death in young people with extremely variable presentation, from asymptomatic to sudden death as first symptom, leads to challenging risk stratification. Recently, both cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) and multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) were able to asses

Introduction: In studies with structural magnetic resonance imagery (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET), methods of analysis voxel-by-voxel allow comparisons among groups of gray matter volume or glucose metabolisms in an automatized fashion all around the brain. In studies with cognitive disorder carriers, such as Alzheimers Disease (AD) compared t
