conferenceObject Improvement of the Adipokines Profile and Insulin Resistance in Metabolic Syndrome Patients Induced by Galantamine Activation of Cholinergic Pathway(2016) SANGALETI, Carine Teles; COSTA, Fernando Oliveira; MORAES, Tercio Lemos; IRIGOYEN, Maria Claudia; BORTOLOTTO, Luiz Aparecido Teles; LOPES, Heno Ferreira; PAVLOV, Valentin; TRACEY, Kevin; CONSOLIM-COLOMBO, Fernanda Marciano- Rationale and design of the First Brazilian Cardiovascular Registry of Atrial Fibrillation: The RECALL study(2016) LOPES, Renato D.; PAOLA, Angelo Amato Vicenzo de; LORGA FILHO, Adalberto Menezes; CONSOLIM-COLOMBO, Fernanda Marciano; ANDRADE, Jadelson; MATTOS, Luiz Alberto Piva e; BERNARDEZ-PEREIRA, Sabrina; BERWANGER, Otavio; FIGUEIREDO, Marcio Jansen de OliveiraBackground Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an important and growing public health problem worldwide, but data about its actual prevalence, therapeutic management, and clinical outcomes in middle-to low-income countries are scarce. Design The First Brazilian Cardiovascular Registry of Atrial Fibrillation (the RECALL study) will assess demographic characteristics and evidence-based practice of a representative sample of patients with AF in Brazil. The prospective, multicenter registry has a planned sample size of around 5,000 patients at approximately 80 sites. Eligibility criteria include age > 18 years and permanent, paroxysmal, or persistent AF documented by electrocardiogram, 24-hour Holter monitoring, or device interrogation. Patients will be followed up through 1 year after enrollment. Information on laboratory tests, echocardiographic data, medication use, and clinical outcomes will be obtained. Various aspects of the population will be described, including demographic characteristics; antithrombotic therapies; antiarrhythmic agents; level of control of international normalized ratio (by average time within the therapeutic range) among patients using vitamin K antagonists; rates of warfarin discontinuation; outcomes such as death, stroke, systemic embolism, and major bleeding within 1 year after enrollment in the study; and rates of electrical cardioversion, percutaneous ablation of AF, ablation of the atrioventricular junction, and pacemaker/cardioverter-defibrillator implantation. Summary RECALL is the first prospective, multicenter registry of AF in Brazil. This study will provide important information about demographics, practice patterns, treatments, and associated outcomes in patients with AF. The results of this registry will also allow Brazilian data to be put in perspective with other AF registries across the world and provide opportunities to improve care of patients with AF in Brazil.
- Acute physical and mental stress resulted in an increase in fatty acids, norepinephrine, and hemodynamic changes in normal individuals: A possible pathophysiological mechanism for hypertension-Pilot study(2021) MOTTA, Jasiane Motta e; SOUZA, Ludmila Neves; VIEIRA, Bianca Bassetto; DELLE, Humberto; CONSOLIM-COLOMBO, Fernanda Marciano; EGAN, Brent M.; LOPES, Heno FerreiraHypertension is often associated with metabolic changes. The sustained increase in sympathetic activity is related to increased blood pressure and metabolic changes. Environmental stimuli may be related to increased sympathetic activity, blood pressure, and metabolic changes, especially in genetically predisposed individuals. The aim of this study was to evaluate the response of fatty acids to physical and mental stress in healthy volunteers and the hemodynamic, hormonal, and metabolic implications of these stimuli. Fifteen healthy individuals with a mean age of 31 +/- 7 years, of both sexes, were evaluated. They were assessed at baseline and after combined physical and mental stress (isometric exercise test, Stroop color test). Blood samples were collected at baseline and after stimulation for glucose, insulin, fatty acid, and catecholamine levels. Blood pressure, heart rate, cardiac output, systemic vascular resistance, and distensibility of the large and small arteries were analyzed. The data obtained at baseline and after stimuli were from the same individual, being the control itself. Compared to baseline, after physical and mental stress there was a statistically significant increase (p < .05) in free fatty acids, norepinephrine, diastolic blood pressure, peripheral vascular resistance, and distensibility of the large and small arteries. In conclusion, the combination of physical and mental stress raised fatty acids, norepinephrine, diastolic blood pressure, and peripheral vascular resistance in healthy individuals.
- Hypertension, Blood Pressure Variability, and Target Organ Lesion(2016) IRIGOYEN, Maria-Claudia; ANGELIS, Katia De; SANTOS, Fernando dos; DARTORA, Daniela R.; RODRIGUES, Bruno; CONSOLIM-COLOMBO, Fernanda MarcianoHypertensive patients have a higher risk of developing health complications, particularly cardiovascular (CV) events, than individuals with normal blood pressure (BP). Severity of complications depends on the magnitude of BP elevation and other CV risk factors associated with the target organ damage. Therefore, BP control and management of organ damage may contribute to reduce this risk. BP variability (BPV) has been considered a physiological marker of autonomic nervous system control and may be implicated in increased CV risk in hypertension. This review will present some evidence relating BPV and target organ damage in hypertension in clinical and experimental settings.

C.conferenceObject LOW LEVEL LASER THERAPY IMPROVES CARDIOVASCULAR AUTONOMIC ACTIVITY IN SPONTANEOUSLY HYPERTENSIVE RATS(2015) SILVA, Bianca; TOMIMURA, Suely; SANCHES, Iris; CANAL, Marina; PINTO, Nathali; MADI, Otavio; CONTI, Felipe; ANGELIS, Katia De; COLOMBO, Fernanda; CHAVANTES, M. Cristina- High Muscle Sympathetic Nerve Activity Is Associated With Left Ventricular Dysfunction in Treated Hypertensive Patients(2013) SOUZA, Silvia Beatriz Cavasin de; ROCHA, Juraci Aparecida; CUOCO, Marco Antonio Romeu; GUERRA, Grazia Maria; FERREIRA-FILHO, Julio Cesar; BORILE, Suellen; KRIEGER, Eduardo Moacyr; BORTOLOTTO, Luiz Aparecido; CONSOLIM-COLOMBO, Fernanda MarcianoThe presence of asymptomatic left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) in hypertensive patients can be associated with the development of cardiac events. The increase in sympathetic activity may be 1 of the mechanisms that predisposes to this outcome. In this study, we analyzed 2 hypotheses: (i) whether sympathetic activity is higher in the presence of LVDD, independent of blood pressure control and (ii) whether different classes of LVDD have a different effect on sympathetic activity. After analyzing left ventricular function using echo Doppler cardiography, 45 hypertensive patients receiving treatment were allocated into 3 groups: normal function (LV-NF, n 15), impaired relaxation (LV-IR, n 15), and pseudonormal or restrictive (LV-P/R, n 15). An age-, sex-, and body mass indexmatched control group of normotensive volunteers (N, n 14) was included. Muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA), heart rate, and systolic blood pressure variabilities and baroreflex sensitivity were evaluated while the patient was in a supine position. Blood pressure and antihypertensive drug use were similar among the hypertensive groups. The LV-IR and LV-P/R groups had similar MSNA (331 and 321 bursts/min, respectively), which was significantly higher than that of the LV-NF and N groups (263 and 152 bursts/min, respectively). The LV-IR and LV-P/R groups had significantly higher LF-systolic blood pressure variability and significantly lower baroreflex sensitivity compared with the N group. The presence of asymptomatic LVDD is associated with increased MSNA, independent of blood pressure control. The sympathetic hyperactivity associated with LVDD is similar in the different patterns of LVDD studied.
- Baroreflex Sensitivity Impairment Is Associated With Cardiac Diastolic Dysfunction in Rats(2011) MOSTARDA, Cristiano; MORAES-SILVA, Ivana Cinthya; MOREIRA, Edson Dias; MEDEIROS, Alessandra; PIRATELLO, Aline Cristina; CONSOLIM-COLOMBO, Fernanda Marciano; CALDINI, Elia Garcia; BRUM, Patricia Chakur; KRIEGER, Eduardo Moacyr; IRIGOYEN, Maria ClaudiaBackground: Studies have shown that the autonomic dysfunction accompanied by impaired baroreflex sensitivity was associated with higher mortality. However, the influence of decreased baroreflex sensitivity on cardiac function, especially in diastolic function, is not well understood. This study evaluated the morpho-functional changes associated with baroreflex impairment induced by chronic sinoaortic denervation (SAD). Methods and Results: Animals were divided into sinoaortic denervation (SAD) and control (C) groups. Baroreflex sensitivity was evaluated by tachycardic and bradycardic responses, induced by vasoactive drugs. Cardiac function was studied by echocardiography and by left ventricle (LV) catheterization. LV collagen content and the expression of regulatory proteins involved in intracellular Ca(2+) homeostasis were quantified. Results showed higher LV mass in SAD versus C animals. Furthermore, an increase in deceleration time of E-wave in the SAD versus the C group (2.14 +/- 0.07 ms vs 1.78 +/- 0.03 ms) was observed. LV end-diastolic pressure was increased and the minimum dP/dt was decreased in the SAD versus the C group (12 +/- 1.5 mm Hg vs 5.3 +/- 0.2 mm Hg and 7,422 +/- 201 vs 4,999 +/- 345 mm Hg/s, respectively). SERCA/NCX ratio was lower in SAD than in control rats. The same was verified in SERCA/PLB ratio. Conclusions: The results suggest that baroreflex dysfunction is associated with cardiac diastolic dysfunction independently of the presence of other risk factors. (J Cardiac Fail 2011;17:519-525)
- Omega-3 Fatty Acid Supplementation Improves Endothelial Function in Primary Antiphospholipid Syndrome: A Small-Scale Randomized Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Trial(2018) FELAU, Sheylla M.; SALES, Lucas P.; SOLIS, Marina Y.; HAYASHI, Ana Paula; ROSCHEL, Hamilton; SA-PINTO, Ana Lucia; ANDRADE, Danieli Castro Oliveira de; KATAYAMA, Keyla Y.; IRIGOYEN, Maria Claudia; CONSOLIM-COLOMBO, Fernanda; BONFA, Eloisa; GUALANO, Bruno; BENATTI, Fabiana B.Endothelial cells are thought to play a central role in the pathogenesis of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (n-3 PUFA) supplementation has been shown to improve endothelial function in a number of diseases; thus, it could be of high clinical relevance in APS. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of n-3 PUFA supplementation on endothelial function (primary outcome) of patients with primary APS (PAPS). A 16-week randomized clinical trial was conducted with 22 adult women with PAPS. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive placebo (PL, n = 11) or n-3 PUFA (omega-3, n = 11) supplementation. Before (pre) and after (post) 16 weeks of the intervention, patients were assessed for endothelial function (peripheral artery tonometry) (primary outcome). Patients were also assessed for systemic markers of endothelial cell activation, inflammatory markers, dietary intake, international normalized ratio (INR), and adverse effects. At post, omega-3 group presented significant increases in endothelial function estimates reactive hyperemia index (RHI) and logarithmic transformation of RHI (LnRHI) when compared with PL (+13 vs. -12%, rho = 0.06, ES = 0.9; and +23 vs. -22%, rho = 0.02, ES = 1.0). No changes were observed for e-selectin, vascular adhesion molecule-1, and fibrinogen levels (rho > 0.05). In addition, omega-3 group showed decreased circulating levels of interleukin-10 (-4 vs. +45%, rho = 0.04, ES = -0.9) and tumor necrosis factor (-13 vs. +0.3%, rho = 0.04, ES = -0.95) and a tendency toward a lower intercellular adhesion molecule-1 response (+3 vs. +48%, rho = 0.1, ES = -0.7) at post when compared with PL. No changes in dietary intake, INR, or self-reported adverse effects were observed. In conclusion, 16 weeks of n-3 PUFA supplementation improved endothelial function in patients with well-controlled PAPS. These results support a role of n-3 PUFA supplementation as an adjuvant therapy in APS. Registered at http://ClinicalTrials.gov as NCT01956188.
