De; SOUZA, Pamella R. M.; PINHEIRO, Monica H. N. P.; IRIGOYEN, Maria C.; MEDEIROS, Alessandra; KOIKE, Marcia K.Background: Exercise training (ET) can reduce blood pressure (BP) and prevent functional disability. However, the effects of low volumes of training have been poorly studied, especially in elderly hypertensive patients. Objectives: To investigate the effects of a multi-component ET program (aerobic training, strength, flexibility, and balance) on BP, physical fitness, and functional ability of elderly hypertensive patients. Methods: Thirty-six elderly hypertensive patients with optimal clinical treatment underwent a multi-component ET program: two 60-minute sessions a week for 12 weeks at a Basic Health Unit. Results: Compared to pre-training values, systolic and diastolic BP were reduced by 3.6% and 1.2%, respectively (p < 0.001), body mass index was reduced by 1.1% (p < 0.001), and peripheral blood glucose was reduced by 2.5% (p= 0.002). There were improvements in all physical fitness domains: muscle strength (chair-stand test and elbow flexor test; p < 0.001), static balance test (unipedal stance test; p < 0.029), aerobic capacity (stationary gait test; p < 0.001), except for flexibility (sit and reach test). Moreover, there was a reduction in the time required to perform two functional ability tests: ""put on sock"" and ""sit down, stand up, and move around the house"" (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Lower volumes of ET improved BP, metabolic parameters, and physical fitness and reflected in the functional ability of elderly hypertensive patients. Trial Registration RBR-2xgjh3.
- Cardiometabolic benefits of exercise training in an experimental model of metabolic syndrome and menopause(2012) SANCHES, Iris Callado; BRITO, Janaina de Oliveira; CANDIDO, Georgia Orsi; DIAS, Danielle da Silva; JORGE, Luciana; IRIGOYEN, Maria-Claudia; ANGELIS, Katia DeObjective: The aim of this study was to investigate the cardiometabolic effects of exercise training in ovariectomized hypertensive rats both submitted and not submitted to fructose overload. Methods: Spontaneously hypertensive ovariectomized rats were divided into sedentary and trained (THO) groups submitted to normal chow and sedentary and trained groups submitted to fructose overload (100 g/L in drinking water for 19 wk). Exercise training was performed on a treadmill (8 wk). Arterial pressure (AP) was directly recorded. Cardiovascular autonomic control was evaluated through pharmacological blockade (atropine and propranolol) and in the time and frequency domains by spectral analysis. Results: The THO group presented reduced AP (approximately 16 mm Hg) and enhanced cardiac vagal tonus (approximately 49%) and baroreflex sensitivity (approximately 43%) compared with the sedentary hypertensive ovariectomized group. Exercise training attenuated metabolic impairment, resting tachycardia, cardiac and vascular sympathetic increases, and baroreflex sensitivity decrease induced by fructose overload in hypertensive rats. However, the trained hypertensive ovariectomized group submitted to fructose overload presented higher AP (approximately 32 mm Hg), associated with baroreflex sensitivity (approximately 69%) and parasympathetic dysfunctions compared with the THO group. Conclusions: These data suggest that the metabolic disorders in hypertensive rats after ovarian hormone deprivation could blunt and/or attenuate some exercise training benefits.
- Brazilian guidelines for arterial hypertension: the reality of nursing in a specialty hospital(2012) BOLL, Liliana Fortini Cavalheiro; IRIGOYEN, Maria Claudia; GOLDMEIER, SilviaObjective: To evaluate knowledge about the technique of blood pressure measurement among nursing professionals in a health care institution. To identify the relationship between professional qualification and the proper development of technique. Methods: The researcher applied a questionnaire to nursing professionals during the verification of arterial pressure of patients. These questions related to the Brazilian Guidelines on Arterial Hypertension V. Results: Of the nursing professionals, technicians and assistants, 8.41% attained the cutoff point stipulated as adequate correct answers (80%). There was a direct relationship between professional qualification and the number of correct answers. Conclusion: Brazilian Guidelines on Arterial Hypertension V were not followed in their entirety by nursing professionals. A wide dissemination of guidelines, the implementation of training programs and monitoring of the technique should be encouraged.
- Effects of Aerobic Exercise Training on Cardiac Renin-Angiotensin System in an Obese Zucker Rat Strain(2012) BARRETTI, Diego Lopes Mendes; MAGALHAES, Flavio de Castro; FERNANDES, Tiago; CARMO, Everton Crivoi do; ROSA, Kaleizu Teodoro; IRIGOYEN, Maria Claudia; NEGRAO, Carlos Eduardo; OLIVEIRA, Edilamar MenezesObjective: Obesity and renin angiotensin system (RAS) hyperactivity are profoundly involved in cardiovascular diseases, however aerobic exercise training (EXT) can prevent obesity and cardiac RAS activation. The study hypothesis was to investigate whether obesity and its association with EXT alter the systemic and cardiac RAS components in an obese Zucker rat strain. Methods: The rats were divided into the following groups: Lean Zucker rats (LZR); lean Zucker rats plus EXT (LZR+EXT); obese Zucker rats (OZR) and obese Zucker rats plus EXT (OZR+EXT). EXT consisted of 10 weeks of 60-min swimming sessions, 5 days/week. At the end of the training protocol heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), cardiac hypertrophy (CH) and function, local and systemic components of RAS were evaluated. Also, systemic glucose, triglycerides, total cholesterol and its LDL and HDL fractions were measured. Results: The resting HR decreased (, 12%) for both LZR+EXT and OZR+EXT. However, only the LZR+EXT reached significance (p, 0.05), while a tendency was found for OZR versus OZR+EXT (p = 0.07). In addition, exercise reduced (57%) triglycerides and (61%) LDL in the OZR+EXT. The systemic angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) activity did not differ regardless of obesity and EXT, however, the OZR and OZR+EXT showed (66%) and (42%), respectively, less angiotensin II (Ang II) plasma concentration when compared with LZR. Furthermore, the results showed that EXT in the OZR prevented increase in CH, cardiac ACE activity, Ang II and AT2 receptor caused by obesity. In addition, exercise augmented cardiac ACE2 in both training groups. Conclusion: Despite the unchanged ACE and lower systemic Ang II levels in obesity, the cardiac RAS was increased in OZR and EXT in obese Zucker rats reduced some of the cardiac RAS components and prevented obesity-related CH. These results show that EXT prevented the heart RAS hyperactivity and cardiac maladaptive morphological alterations in obese Zucker rats.
conferenceObject Ventricular and autonomic benefits of exercise training in myocardial infarction persists after detraining(2012) BARBOZA, C. A.; ROCHA, L. Y.; DIAS, D. S.; MOSTARDA, C. T.; FIGUEROA, D. M. T.; ANGELIS, K. De; IRIGOYEN, M. C.; RODRIGUES, B.- Fluid overload and changes in serum creatinine after cardiac surgery: predictors of mortality and longer intensive care stay. A prospective cohort study(2012) STEIN, Anna; SOUZA, Lucas Vieira de; BELETTINI, Cassian Rodrigues; MENEGAZZO, Willian Roberto; VIEGAS, Julio Rosales; PEREIRA, Edemar Manuel Costa; EICK, Renato; ARAUJO, Lilian; CONSOLIM-COLOMBO, Fernanda; IRIGOYEN, Maria ClaudiaIntroduction: Fluid overload is a clinical problem frequently related to cardiac and renal dysfunction. The aim of this study was to evaluate fluid overload and changes in serum creatinine as predictors of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity after cardiac surgery. Methods: Patients submitted to heart surgery were prospectively enrolled in this study from September 2010 through August 2011. Clinical and laboratory data were collected from each patient at preoperative and trans-operative moments and fluid overload and creatinine levels were recorded daily after cardiac surgery during their ICU stay. Fluid overload was calculated according to the following formula: (Sum of daily fluid received (L) - total amount of fluid eliminated (L)/preoperative weight (kg) x 100). Preoperative demographic and risk indicators, intra-operative parameters and postoperative information were obtained from medical records. Patients were monitored from surgery until death or discharge from the ICU. We also evaluated the survival status at discharge from the ICU and the length of ICU stay (days) of each patient. Results: A total of 502 patients were enrolled in this study. Both fluid overload and changes in serum creatinine correlated with mortality (odds ratio (OR) 1.59; confidence interval (CI): 95% 1.18 to 2.14, P = 0.002 and OR 2.91; CI: 95% 1.92 to 4.40, P <0.001, respectively). Fluid overload played a more important role in the length of intensive care stay than changes in serum creatinine. Fluid overload (%): b coefficient = 0.17; beta coefficient = 0.55, P <0.001); change in creatinine (mg/dL): b coefficient = 0.01; beta coefficient = 0.11, P = 0.003). Conclusions: Although both fluid overload and changes in serum creatinine are prognostic markers after cardiac surgery, it seems that progressive fluid overload may be an earlier and more sensitive marker of renal dysfunction affecting heart function and, as such, it would allow earlier intervention and more effective control in post cardiac surgery patients.
conferenceObject Baroreflex and cardiac dysfunctions evaluated by transesophageal echocardiography, baroreflex sensitivity, autonomic control and invasive measurements in rats submitted to sinoaortic denervation(2012) SIRVENTE, R. A.; IRIGOYEN, M. C.; SOUZA, L.; MOSTARDA, C.; FUENTE, R. La; CANDIDO, G.; SOUZA, P.; MEDEIROS, A.; MADY, C.; SALEMI, V. M. C.Purpose: Sympathetic hyperactivity commonly seems to be related to cardiac dysfunction and baro and chemoreflexes impairment in hypertension. However, myocardial function has not been evaluated regarding the association of hypertension and baroreflex dysfunction using transesophageal echocardiography. Methods: Exercise test (ET), baroreflex sensitivity, cardiovascular autonomic control, transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography using intracardiac echocardiographic catheter (AcuNav, Siemens, Mountain View, CA, USA), and invasively biventricular end-diastolic pressures (EDP) were evaluated in rats 10 weeks after sinoaortic denervation (SAD). The rats (n=32) were divided in 4 groups: 16 Wistar (W) with (n=8) or without SAD (n=8) and 16 spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) with (n=8) or without SAD (n=8). Results: Blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) did not show any change between the groups SAD and without SAD, although, SHR showed higher BP levels in comparison to W. BP variability was increased in SHR groups compared to W. After SAD, BP variability increased in all groups compared to W (W: 15 mmHg2; *DSA: 49 mmHg2; *SHR: 60 mmHg2; *SHR-SAD:137 mmHg2, *p<0.05 vs. W). Exercise tests results showed that SHR had better functional capacity compared to SAD and SHRSAD (W: 1.16m/s; DSA: 0.9m/s; *SHR: 1.46; SHR-DSA: 1.02, *p<0.05 vs. SAD and SHRSAD). Left ventricular concentric hypertrophy, segmental systolic dysfunction and global diastolic LV dysfunction, segmental and global systolic dysfunction, and global diastolic RV dysfunction, indirect signals of pulmonary arterial hypertension were shown by echocardiography, mostly evident in SHRSAD. The RV-EDP increased in all groups compared to W(W:3±0.39mmHg, *SAD:4.7±0.52mmHg, *SHR: 6.6±1.1mmHg, *SHRSAD:7.8±0.87mmHg, *p<0.05 vs. W), and LV-EDP increased in SHR and SHRSAD groups compared to W, and in SHRSAD compared to SAD (W: 5,83±0,19 mmHg,SAD: 8.98±1.2 mmHg, *SHR: 12.51±4.73 mmHg, *#SHRSAD: 14.57±2.52mmHg, *p<0.05vs.W,#p<0.05 vs. DSA). There was a relation between invasive or noninvasive measurements of RV showing good accuracy of echocardiographic measurements. Conclusions: Our results suggest that baroreflex dysfunction impaired biventricular function. Moreover, the findings of RV dysfunction indicate that SAD may lead to increased pulmonary artery pressure, supporting a role for baroreflex dysfunction in the pathogenesis of the hypertensive cardiac disease.- Cardiac and pulmonary arterial remodeling after sinoaortic denervation in normotensive rats(2012) FLUES, K.; MORAES-SILVA, I. C.; MOSTARDA, C.; SOUZA, P. R. M.; DINIZ, G. P.; MOREIRA, E. D.; PIRATELLO, A. C.; CHAVES, M. L. Barreto; ANGELIS, K. De; SALEMI, Vera Maria Cury; IRIGOYEN, M. C.; CALDINI, E. G.Blood pressure variability (BPV) and baroreflex dysfunction may contribute to end-organ damage process. We investigated the effects of baroreceptor deficit (10 weeks after sinoaortic denervation - SAD) on hemodynamic alterations, cardiac and pulmonary remodeling. Cardiac function and morphology of male Wistar intact rats (C) and SAD rats (SAD) (n = 8/group) were assessed by echocardiography and collagen quantification. BP was directly recorded. Ventricular hypertrophy was quantified by the ratio of left ventricular weight (LVW) and right ventricular weight (RVW) to body weight (BW). BPV was quantified in the time and frequency domains. The atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), alpha-skeletal actin (alpha-skelectal), collagen type I and type III genes mRNA expression were evaluated by RT-PCR. SAD did not change BP, but increased BPV (11 +/- 0.49 vs. 5 +/- 0.3 mm Hg). As expected, baroreflex was reduced in SAD. Pulmonary artery acceleration time was reduced in SAD. In addition, SAD impaired diastolic function in both LV (6.8 +/- 0.26 vs. 5.02 +/- 0.21 mm Hg) and RV (5.1 +/- 0.21 vs. 4.2 +/- 0.12 mm Hg). SAD increased LVW/BW in 9% and RVW/BW in 20%, and augmented total collagen (3.8-fold in LV, 2.7-fold in RV, and 3.35-fold in pulmonary artery). Also, SAD increased type I (similar to 6-fold) and III (similar to 5-fold) collagen gene expression. Denervation increased ANP expression in LV (75%), in RV (74%) and increased a-skelectal expression in LV (300%) and in RV (546%). Baroreflex function impairment by SAD, despite not changing BP, induced important adjustments in cardiac structure and pulmonary hypertension. These changes may indicate that isolated baroreflex dysfunction can modulate target tissue damage.
