In previous studies, we showed that lipid nanoparticles (LDE), with a structure similar to that of Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL), are concentrated in hearts transplanted in rabbits. When rabbits with heart transplants were treated with the chemotherapeutic agent paclitaxel associated with LDE, there was a remarkable reduction in the inflammatory process and a marked reduction in coronary …
Despite advances in treatment of heart failure (HF), mortality remains high in these patients and many have exercise intolerance and dyspnea. Small studies and meta-analysis suggested that physical exercise promotes improvement of symptoms and reduces mortality. However, more recently, a randomized clinical trial found no benefit on survival or hospitalization with physical training in pa…
Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy is defined as a chronic cardiac dysfunction in patients with cirrhosis, characterized by inadequate myocardial contractile response to stress and / or diastolic dysfunction with electrophysiological abnormalities in the absence of primary cardiac disease. It is suspected that cardiac dysfunction in cirrhotic contribute to the genesis of complications in liver di…

Eosinophilic myocarditis (EM) is a rare myocardial disorder in autopsy studies, however with a high incidence among patients in the waiting list for a heart transplant, probably due to the prolonged use of dobutamine. EM can worsen the state of the patient with CHF, because they have already low cardiac reserve. Furthermore, its variable clinical manifestation and non-specific heart signs…
Infection by cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is the most prevalent correlated with the first year after heart transplantation in adults. Despite the promising advances in reducing post - surgery complications, this infection is responsible for increasing the risk of chronic rejection, vascular graft disease and the mortality rate. However, in our institution is scarce literature on the relationshi…
Background: cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is one of the most frequent complications in the first year after adult heart transplantation. CMV infection is related to chronic rejection, cardiac allograft vasculopathy and high mortality. CMV infection occurs as a latent virus reactivation or as a primary infection in patients with negative serology to CMV receiving an organ from a CMV posi…
