Acute Effects of Levosimendan and Dobutamine on QRS Duration in Patients with Heart Failure
(ARQUIVOS BRASILEIROS CARDIOLOGIA, 2010)Background: Levosimendan is a novel inotropic agent that enhances cardiac contractility without increasing cellular calcium intake, so that it is not supposed to cause intracellular calcium overload and related arrhythmias. ... -
Effect of Levosimendan in Patients with Severe Systolic Heart Failure and Worsening Renal Function
(ARQUIVOS BRASILEIROS CARDIOLOGIA, 2012)Background: Levosimendan, a calcium sensitizer, increases the sensitivity of the heart to calcium, thus increasing myocardial contractility without a rise in intracellular calcium. It was recently shown that levosimendan ... -
Relationship between Parathyroid Hormone and Depression in Heart Failure
(ARQUIVOS BRASILEIROS CARDIOLOGIA, 2012)Background: Depression has been found to be a predictor of rehospitalization and mortality in heart failure (HF). Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is a novel promising biomarker that can predict hospitalization, functional status ... -
Which Coronary Lesions Are More Prone to Cause Acute Myocardial Infarction?
(ARQUIVOS BRASILEIROS CARDIOLOGIA, 2017)Background: According to common belief, most myocardial infarctions (MIs) are due to the rupture of nonsevere, vulnerable plaques with < 70% obstruction. Data from recent trials challenge this belief, suggesting that the ...
