1. Comparison of Anxiety and Depression Symptoms in Individuals According to their Sex, Type of Cardiac Device, and Diagnosis of Chagas Disease
ABSTRACT Introduction: Implantable cardiac pacemakers or cardioverter defibrillators are alternatives for the treatment of arrhythmias, however, their use has caused changes in the emotional state of patients. The objective of this study was to compare the measures of anxiety and depression symptoms in individuals according to their sex, type of cardiac dev

3. Chagas disease is associated with a poor outcome at 1-year follow-up after cardiac resynchronization therapy
RESUMO INTRODUÇÃO: A terapia de ressincronização cardíaca (TRC) é uma modalidade terapêutica para pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca (IC). A eficácia desse tratamento para redução de eventos baseia-se em ensaios clínicos em que a população de pacientes com doença de Chagas (DC) é sub-representada. OBJETIVO: Avaliar o prognóstico após T

4. Coronariopatia assintomática em pacientes com cardiomiopatia chagásica em insuficiência cardíaca grave: prevalência e fatores de risco.
Background: The concomitance of asymptomatic coronary heart disease in patients with Chagas cardiomyopathy with heart failure is not well known in medical literature, and both are very prevalent in some regions of Brazil. Objective: Determine the prevalence of coronary disease (lesion>50%) in a specific group of patients with Chagas cardiomyopathy and heart

5. Predictors of low cardiac output in decompensated severe heart failure
OBJECTIVE: To identify predictors of low cardiac output and mortality in decompensated heart failure. INTRODUCTION: Introduction: Patients with decompensated heart failure have a high mortality rate, especially those patients with low cardiac output. However, this clinical presentation is uncommon, and its management is controversial. METHODS: We studied a c

6. Association of HDL cholesterol and triglycerides with mortality in patients with heart failure
It has been demonstrated that there is an association between serum lipoproteins and survival rate in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy, as well as in patients with non-ischemic causes of heart failure. We tested the hypothesis of an association between serum lipoprotein levels and prognosis in a cohort of outpatients with heart failure, including Chagas

7. Canine trypanosomiasis: etiology of infection and implications for public health
Canine trypanosomiasis, caused by protozoans of the genus Trypanosoma, is divided into two primary types: the American form (Chagas disease), due to Trypanosoma cruzi infection, and the African form (sleeping sickness or surra), provoked by Trypanosomaevansi. This disease was originally enzootic and affected only wild animals, including mammals and birds, wh

8. Assessment of myocardial flow reserve by echocardiography with real time myocardial perfusion in patients with left ventricular dysfunction, before and after cardiovascular rehabilitation by supervised exercise training / Avaliação da reserva de fluxo miocárdico pela ecocardiografia com perfusão miocárdica em tempo real em pacientes com disfunção ventricular esquerda, antes e após reabilitação cardiovascular por exercício físico supervisionado
Introduction: Heart failure is a clinical, complex and progressive syndrome, which may result from any structural or functional heart disorder that changes its capacity of filling and/or ejection, and the majority of patients perform evolution with left ventricular dysfunction (DVE). The exercise training is accepted as an important adjuvant in the treatment

9. Breathing disorders in congestive heart failure: gender, etiology and mortality
We investigated the relationship between sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR) while awake as well as mortality. Eighty-nine consecutive outpatients (29 females) with congestive heart failure (CHF; left ventricular ejection fraction, LVEF <45%) were prospectively evaluated. The presence of SDB and of CSR while awake before slee

10. Avaliação ecocardiografica da terapia de ressincronização cardiaca : dois anos de seguimento / Echocardiographic assessment of the cardiac resynchronization therapy : two years of follow-up
Introduction In the cardiac resynchronization therapy is an effective option for patients with advanced heart failure. However, 20 to 30% of patients did not show benefits to this therapy. Clinical criteria, electrocardiography and the echocardiography have been studied in an attempt to select the patients who will benefit from the cardiac resynchronization,

"Avaliação de pacientes assintomáticos com formas cardíacas iniciais da doença de Chagas, através da análise do eletrocardiograma dinâmico, ecocardiograma e peptídeo natriurético tipo B" / Evaluation of asymptomatic patients with initial cardiac forms of Chagas disease through the analysis of dynamic electrocardiography, echocardiography and Type-B natriuretic peptides
To evaluate clinical and evolutive features in patients with initial asymptomatic cardiac Chagas disease, a prospective study was carried out with 108 patients, age 18 and 50, at the Londrina State University Chagas disease outpatient clinic, from April to November 2002. Patients were submitted to: 1) clinical evaluation, 2) electrocardiography (EKG), 3) che

12. "Estudo comparativo da função erétil em pacientes portadores da forma digestiva da Doença de Chagas" / Study comparative of the erectile function in patient bearers in the digestive way of the Chagas disease
The objective of this study was to correlate the alterations caused by the Chagas disease in the autonomous nervous system and the possibility of these alterations they provoke erectile dysfunction. Sixty men - between 40 and 70 years-old - were selected for the stydy: 30 men with the digestive form of the Chagas disease and 30 of them had negative serologic
