Social representation of women with hypertension in relation to the disease: unraveling the adherence to the treatment in relation to the schedule of…
2011
A falta de adesão ao tratamento e a consequente falta de controle da hipertensão arterial (HA) representam um grande desafio à Atenção Primária no Brasil. Compreender a relação subjetiva dos portadores de HA com a enfermidade pode ampliar as possibilidades de medidas de controle da HA mais efetivas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi conhecer e analisar as representações sociais de mulheres portadoras de HA sobre a doença e seu convívio familiar. Fizeram parte do estudo 26 mulheres diagnosticadas com HA e cadastradas em uma Unidade de Atenção Primária à Saúde do município de Porto Firme, MG. O estudo fundamentou-se na pesquisa qualitativa e elegeu as representações sociais como princípio teórico…
Prognostic Value of Pulmonary Vascular Resistance by Magnetic Resonance in Systolic Heart Failure
2016
Abstract Background: Pulmonary hypertension is associated with poor prognosis in heart failure. However, non-invasive diagnosis is still challenging in clinical practice. Objective: We sought to assess the prognostic utility of non-invasive estimation of pulmonary vascular resistances (PVR) by cardiovascular magnetic resonance to predict adverse cardiovascular outcomes in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Methods: Prospective registry of patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 40% and recently admitted for decompensated heart failure during three years. PVRwere calculated based on right ventricular ejection fraction and average velocity of the pulmonary…
Predictive value of heidelberg retina tomograph parameters for the development of glaucoma in the European glaucoma prevention study
2015
Purpose To determine whether baseline Heidelberg Retina Tomograph (HRT) measurements of the optic disc are associated with the development of open-angle glaucoma (OAG) in individuals with ocular hypertension in the European Glaucoma Prevention Study (EGPS). Design Retrospective analysis of a prospective, randomized, multicenter, double-masked, controlled clinical trial. Methods There were 489 participants in the HRT Ancillary Study to the EGPS. Each baseline HRT parameter was assessed in univariate and multivariate proportional hazards models to determine its association with the development of OAG. Proportional hazards models were used to identify HRT variables that predicted which partici…
