13. Cognitive Alterations in Elderly Patients with Heart Failure’
Abstract Background: Among the various pathologies that affect the elderly, Heart Failure (HF) stands out. Recently, an attempt has been made to verify the existence of cognitive impairment associated with HF. Objectives: To compare the cognitive performance of elderly people with heart failure with that of age-matched individuals without this pathology. C

14. Effects of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy on a Six-minute Walk Test, Maximal Inspiratory Pressure and Peak Expiratory Flow in Patients with Heart Failure: A Longitudinal Study
Abstract Background: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an effective treatment for patients with heart failure. Objective: To evaluate the response of CRT in maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP), peak expiratory flow (PEF), and exercise tolerance as determined by the six-minute walk test (6MWT) in patients with HF. Methods: This study used the 6MWT

16. Mechanical Circulatory Assist Devices: Which Is the Best Device as Bridge to Heart Transplantation?
ABSTRACT Introduction: Heart transplantation is the recommended treatment method for patients with advanced heart failure that is refractory to clinical treatment. Due to the progressive severity of these patients and the impossibility of performing the transplant in a short term, there are mechanical circulatory assist devices that can offer necessary hemo

17. Retrospective Evaluation of Platelet-Leukocyte Indices and Cardiac Surgical Outcomes in Acyanotic Heart Disease Patients with Pulmonary Hypertension (REPLICA-PH)
Abstract Introduction: Acyanotic congenital heart disease (ACHD) patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) are prone to postoperative complications, and characterization of the risk profile continues to fail in identifying inflammatory predilection. Our objective is to investigate the role of platelet-leukocyte indices (neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio [NLR], pl

18. The Medical Burden of Heart Failure: A Comparative Delineation with Cancer in Brazil
Abstract Background: Due to its poor prognosis and mortality rates, heart failure (HF) has been recognized as a malignant condition, comparable to some cancers in developed countries. Objectives: To compare mortality from HF and prevalent cancers using data from a nationwide database in Brazil. Methods: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional study using

19. Glycated Haemoglobin Levels and Its Effect on Outcomes in Cardiac Surgery
Abstract There remains a significant paucity of information evaluating the effect of glycated HbA1c levels and its theorized effect on mortality and morbidity rates following cardiac surgery. Diabetes is a very common comorbidity in patients undergoing open heart surgery, as there is a shift in patient characteristics and greater risk. Currently, there is no

20. Effectiveness of Telemedicine in Reducing Hospitalizations in Patients Discharged from the Hospital Due to Heart Failure: A Randomized Clinical Trial Protocol
Abstract Fundament: Telemedicine for follow-up in heart failure (HF) patients is effective in reducing hospitalizations, total and cardiovascular mortality. However, few studies were conducted in low and middle income, where lower access to technology and illiteracy could impact the results. Objective: To assess the effectiveness of associating telemedicin

21. Surgery for Functional Tricuspid Regurgitation in Adult Atrial Septal Defect — An Increasing Subject in a Decreasing Matter
ABSTRACT Introduction: Functional tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is known to complicate adult atrial septal defect (ASD), but its management is still under debate. We reviewed our experience in ASD surgery, focusing on associated functional TR and its treatment. Methods: This retrospective study (2005-2019) included 206 consecutive adult ASD surgical cases w

22. Predictors of Hospitalization in Vitamin K Antagonist Users Presenting with Bleeding at the Emergency Department
Abstract Background Vitamin K antagonists (VKA) are indicated for the prevention of thromboembolic events and reduction of mortality in patients with atrial fibrillation and patients with valvular prostheses. However, their use is associated with bleeding complications and hospitalizations. Predictors of hospital admission for bleeding in these patients ar

23. Rare Presentation of Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm Treated by Aortic Valve Reimplantation Technique
Abstract Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is a rare cardiac abnormality which can be acquired or of congenital origin. A spontaneous rupture into the right atrium is possible and, if not adequately treated, may result in a progressive heart failure due to the left-to-right intracardiac shunt. If ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is diagnosed, surgical repair is
