Heart failure (HF) is defined as the heart inability to supply peripheral tissues with the necessary blood and oxygen amount for metabolic demands, leading to a clinical syndrome characterized by symptoms such as dyspnea or fatigue, and signs such as elevated jugular venous pressure, tachycardia or peripheral edema. The literature reports that disease progression is associated with increa…
Introduction: The World Health Organization (WHO) has defined heart failure (HF) as one of the priorities among the chronic diseases that require special strategy of primary prevention and treatment worldwide. Currently, the HF is defined as a pathophysiological state where the heart is unable to ensure adequate cardiac output to tissue demands, or to do so by the high filling pressures o…
Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome, characterized by the heart's inability to pump blood to meet the body's physiological and metabolic needs, leading to specific signs and symptoms, including dyspnea, edema of the lower limbs or fatigue. HF presents irregular progression, with acute phases of decompensation that often require hospitalization, poor prognosis and frequent mo…
Introduction: Cardiovascular disease is the main cause of death in patients on peritoneal dialysis. The assessment of coronary calcification by the coronary artery calcium score (CAC) has been shown to predict the incidence of acute myocardial infarction and death from cardiovascular disease in these patients. Overhydration leads to hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy and increased…
Introduction: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are a major public health issue, due to its high incidence and treatment cost. In this group, the general mortality is about 20% per year, mainly from cardiovascular ethiology. Among the cardiovascular risk factos, there's vascular calcification, evaluated through coronary artery calcium score (CAC). Such exam is not however easy to…
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in peritoneal dialysis patients. Vascular calcification contributes to an increased risk of cardiovascular events. The evaluation of coronary calcification by the Coronary Calcium Score has been shown to predict the incidence of acute myocardial infarction and death from cardiovascular disease in these patients. Left atrial size has als…
