Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common tachyarrhythmia in adults worldwide with both environmental and genetic risk factors. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) demonstrated that AF risk is determined to a significant extent by the overall effect of common genetic variants, especially single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP). Polygenic risk scores (PRS) were created based on GWAS re…
In recent years there has been a significant growth in the development of technological innovations based on population genomic data, especially in the area of pharma/biotech industries. However, about 80% of the knowledge generated is based only on the genetic diversity of European populations. This lack of diversity in genomic databases leads to the loss of opportunities to make unprece…
Heart failure (HF) is a national and global epidemic affecting millions of patients worldwide. HF is characterized by intense remodeling of the myocardium and important metabolic changes in cardiomyocyte biology. These changes are thought to be both a cause and consequence of the remodeling process and, thus, important targets for new pharmacological therapies. It is thus critically impor…
The main goal of this proposal is to transfer for the Health System innovative medical applications oriented to computer-aided diagnosis, treatment, surgical planning, training and medical supportive decisions. The National Institute of Science and Technology in Medicine Assisted by Scientific Computing (INCT-MACC) has since 2008 successfully integrated a knowledge network for modern comm…
Sudden cardiac death is an important cause of mortality, particularly in young. The goal of this project is to implement a rational family screening program in the public health system to prevent sudden cardiac death. The proposed model enables delivery of genetic predictive tool in decentralized fashion with standardization of points of care to support arrhythmia centers in Brazil. The p…

Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi) causes Chagas disease. An estimated 6 to 9 million people worldwide are currently infected with T. cruzi and approximately 70 million are at risk of infection. About 30% of individuals infected with T. cruzi develop a fatal dilated cardiomyopathy. The disease has no cure and there are no clinical or epidemiological predictors for directing medical attention to…
Chagas Disease remains an important cause of mortality due to cardiac events such as dilated cardiomyopathy and arrhythmias, these patients presenting a worse prognosis compared to patients with other cardiomyopathies. Nowadays knowledge about Chagas disease is insufficient to inhibit infection and control the development of the disease in the chronic phase. Data from the literature and o…
The Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia (ARVD) is a genetic cardiomyopathy characterized by the replacement of myocardial cells by fibro-fatty tissue. The disease has a prevalence of approximately 1: 3500, and is more common in young people, athletes and males. The clinical diagnosis is based on the International Task Force Criteria which takes into account several types of criteri…

Heart Failure (HF) is worldwide epidemic problem and is the result from multiple underlying cardiovascular and systemic conditions. Chronic Chagas Cardiomyopathy (CCC) is one of the HF caused by infectious process. Chagas Disease is a tropical disease caused by intracellular parasite Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi) and, despite the high prevalence in Latin America countries, the number of in…
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a genetic cardiomyopathy characterized by the replacement of myocardial cells by fibro-fatty tissue.The disease has a prevalence of approximately 1: 3500, and is more common in young people, athletes and males. The clinical diagnosis is based on the International Task Force Criteria which takes into account several types of criteri…
Endothelial cells have important role in cardiovascular system, mainly for protection and regulation of arteries and veins. These cells are constantly exposed to many factors both as chemical, such as cytokine, chemokine and other signaling molecules; and as mechanicals such as shear stress (SS) and stretch. One of these mechanical forces, the SS, is caused by the direct contact of these …
