- Exercise Training Preserves Myocardial Strain and Improves Exercise Tolerance in Doxorubicin-Induced Cardiotoxicity(2021) GOMES-SANTOS, Igor L.; JORDAO, Camila P.; PASSOS, Clevia S.; BRUM, Patricia C.; OLIVEIRA, Edilamar M.; CHAMMAS, Roger; CAMARGO, Anamaria A.; NEGRAO, Carlos E.Doxorubicin causes cardiotoxicity and exercise intolerance. Pre-conditioning exercise training seems to prevent doxorubicin-induced cardiac damage. However, the effectiveness of the cardioprotective effects of exercise training concomitantly with doxorubicin treatment remains largely unknown. To determine whether low-to-moderate intensity aerobic exercise training during doxorubicin treatment would prevent cardiotoxicity and exercise intolerance, we performed exercise training concomitantly with chronic doxorubicin treatment in mice. Ventricular structure and function were accessed by echocardiography, exercise tolerance by maximal exercise test, and cardiac biology by histological and molecular techniques. Doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity, evidenced by impaired ventricular function, cardiac atrophy, and fibrosis. Exercise training did not preserve left ventricular ejection fraction or reduced fibrosis. However, exercise training preserved myocardial circumferential strain alleviated cardiac atrophy and restored cardiomyocyte cross-sectional area. On the other hand, exercise training exacerbated doxorubicin-induced body wasting without affecting survival. Finally, exercise training blunted doxorubicin-induced exercise intolerance. Exercise training performed during doxorubicin-based chemotherapy can be a valuable approach to attenuate cardiotoxicity.
- Cardiopulmonary exercise test in patients with refractory angina: functional and ischemic evaluation(2022) ASSUMPCAO, Camila R. A. de; PRADO, Danilo M. L. do; JORDAO, Camila P.; DOURADO, Luciana O. C.; VIEIRA, Marcelo L. C.; MONTENEGRO, Carla G. de S. P.; NEGRAO, Carlos E.; GOWDAK, Luis H. W.; MATOS, Luciana D. N. J. DeObjectives: Refractory angina (RA) is a chronic condition clinically characterized by low effort tolerance; therefore, physical stress testing is not usually requested for these patients. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is con-sidered a gold standard examination for functional capacity evaluation, even in submaximal tests, and it has gained great prominence in detecting ischemia. The authors aimed to determine cardiorespiratory capacity by using the oxygen consumption efficiency slope (OUES) in patients with refractory angina. The authors also stud-ied the O-2 pulse response by CPET and the association of ischemic changes with contractile modifications by exer-cise stress echocardiography (ESE). Methods: Thirty-one patients of both sexes, aged 45 to 75 years, with symptomatic (Canadian Cardiovascular Soci-ety class II to IV) angina who underwent CPET on a treadmill and exercise stress echocardiography on a lower limb cycle ergometer were studied. ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03218891. Results: The patients had low cardiorespiratory capacity (OUES of 1.74 +/- 0.4 L/min; 63.9 +/- 14.7% of predicted), and 77% of patients had a flattening or drop in O-2 pulse response. There was a direct association between Heart Rate (HR) at the onset of myocardial ischemia detected by ESE and HR at the onset of flattening or drop in oxygen pulse response detected by CPET (R = 0.48; p = 0.019). Conclusion: Patients with refractory angina demonstrate low cardiorespiratory capacity. CPET shows good sensi-tivity for detecting abnormal cardiovascular response in these patients with a significant relationship between flattening O-2 pulse response during CEPT and contractile alterations detected by exercise stress echocardiography.
- Effects of Exercise Training on Left Ventricular Diastolic Function Markers in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Randomized Study(2022) DURANTE, Bruno G.; FERREIRA-SILVA, Rosyvaldo; GOYA, Thiago T.; LIMA, Marta F.; RODRIGUES, Ana Clara T.; DRAGER, Luciano F.; JORDÃO, Camila P.; RODRIGUES, Amanda G.; ALVES, Maria Janieire de Nazare N.; LORENZI-FILHO, Geraldo; NEGRÃO, Carlos E.; UENO-PARDI, Linda M.Abstract Background Exercise training (ET) is an adjunctive treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and its consequences. However, the effects of exercise on heart remodeling are unknown in the population with OSA. Objective We investigated the effect of ET on markers of diastolic function, sleep parameters, and functional capacity in patients with OSA. Methods Sedentary patients with OSA (apnea-hypopnea index, AHI ≥15 events/hr) were randomly assigned to untrained (n=18) and trained (n=20) strategies. Polysomnography, cardiopulmonary exercise test, and echocardiography were evaluated at the beginning and end of the study. ET consisted of 3 weekly sessions of aerobic exercise, resistance exercises, and flexibility training (72 sessions, completed in 11.65±0.86 months). A two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used, followed by Tukey's post-hoc test. The level of statistical significance was set at p<0.05 for all analyses. Result Thirty-eight patients were included (AHI:45±29 events/hr, age:52±7 y, body mass index: 30±4 kg/m2). They had similar baseline parameters. ET caused a significant change in OSA severity (AHI:4.5±18 versus -5.7±13 events/hr; arousal index:1.5±8 versus -6.1±13 events/hr, in untrained and trained groups respectively, p<0.05). The trained patients had an increase in functional capacity after intervention. ET improved isovolumetric relaxation time (IVRT, untrained=6.5±17.3 versus trained=-5.1±17.1 msec, p<0.05). There was a significant correlation between changes in IVRT and arousal index in the trained group (r =-0.54, p<0.05). No difference occurred in the other diastolic function parameters evaluated. Conclusion ET promotes modest but significant improvement in AHI, functional capacity, and cardiac IVRT, a validated parameter of diastolic function.
- Arterial stiffness and its association with clustering of metabolic syndrome risk factors(2017) LOPES-VICENTE, Wanda R. P.; RODRIGUES, Sara; CEPEDA, Felipe X.; JORDAO, Camila Paixao; COSTA-HONG, Valeria; DUTRA-MARQUES, Akothirene C. B.; CARVALHO, Jefferson C.; ALVES, Maria Janieire N. N.; BORTOLOTTO, Luiz A.; TROMBETTA, Ivani C.Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with structural and functional vascular abnormalities, which may lead to increased arterial stiffness, more frequent cardiovascular events and higher mortality. However, the role played by clustering of risk factors and the combining pattern of MetS risk factors and their association with the arterial stiffness have yet to be fully understood. Age, hypertension and diabetes mellitus seem to be strongly associated with increased pulse wave velocity (PWV). This study aimed at determining the clustering and combining pattern of MetS risk factors and their association with the arterial stiffness in non-diabetic and non-hypertensive patients. Methods: Recently diagnosed and untreated patients with MetS (n = 64, 49 +/- 8 year, 32 +/- 4 kg/m(2)) were selected, according to ATP III criteria and compared to a control group (Control, n = 17, 49 +/- 6 year, 27 +/- 2 kg/m(2)). Arterial stiffness was evaluated by PWV in the carotid-femoral segment. Patients were categorized and analyzed according MetS risk factors clustering (3, 4 and 5 factors) and its combinations. Results: Patients with MetS had increased PWV when compared to Control (7.8 +/- 1.1 vs. 7.0 +/- 0.5 m/s, p < 0.001). In multivariate analysis, the variables that remained as predictors of PWV were age (beta = 0.450, p < 0.001), systolic blood pressure (beta = 0.211, p = 0.023) and triglycerides (beta = 0.212, p = 0.037). The increased number of risk factors reflected in a progressive increase in PWV. When adjusted to systolic blood pressure, PWV was greater in the group with 5 risk factors when compared to the group with 3 risk factors and Control (8.5 +/- 0.4 vs. 7.5 +/- 0.2, p = 0.011 and 7.2 +/- 0.3 m/s, p = 0.012). Similarly, the 4 risk factors group had higher PWV than the Control (7.9 +/- 0.2 vs. 7.2 +/- 0.3, p = 0.047). Conclusions: The number of risk factors seems to increase arterial stiffness. Notably, besides age and increased systolic blood pressure, alterations in the triglycerides worsened the stiffness of large vessels, emphasizing the importance in addressing this risk factor in MetS patients.
- Visceral Obesity and High Systolic Blood Pressure as the Substrate of Endothelial Dysfunction in Obese Adolescents(2021) HUSSID, Maria Fernanda; CEPEDA, Felipe Xerez; JORDAO, Camila P.; LOPES-VICENTE, Rafaela R. P.; VIRMONDES, Leslie; KATAYAMA, Keyla Y.; OLIVEIRA, Ezequiel F. de; OLIVEIRA, Luis V. F.; CONSOLIM-COLOMBO, Fernanda Marciano; TROMBETTA, Ivani CredidioBackground: Obesity affects adolescence and may lead to metabolic syndrome (MetS) and endothelial dysfunction, an early marker of cardiovascular risk. Albeit obesity is strongly associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), it is not clear the role of OSA in endothelial function in adolescents with obesity. Objective: To investigate whether obesity during adolescence leads to MetS and/or OSA; and causes endothelial dysfunction. In addition, we studied the possible association of MetS risk factors and apnea hypopnea index (AHI) with endothelial dysfunction. Methods: We studied 20 sedentary obese adolescents (OA; 14.2 +/- 1.6 years, 100.9 +/- 20.3kg), and 10 normal-weight adolescents (NWA, 15.2 +/- 1.2 years, 54.4 +/- 5.3kg) paired for sex. We assessed MetS risk factors (International Diabetes Federation criteria), vascular function (Flow-Mediated Dilation, FMD), functional capacity (VO(2)peak) and the presence of OSA (AHI>1event/h, by polysomnography). We considered statistically significant a P<0.05. Results: OA presented higher waist (WC), body fat, triglycerides, systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), LDL-c and lower HDL-c and VO(2)peak than NWA. MetS was presented in the 35% of OA, whereas OSA was present in 86.6% of OA and 50% of EA. There was no difference between groups in the AHI. The OA had lower FMD than NWA (6.17 +/- 2.72 vs. 9.37 +/- 2.20%, p=0.005). There was an association between FMD and WC (R=-0.506, p=0.008) and FMD and SBP (R=-0.493, p=0.006). Conclusion: In adolescents, obesity was associates with MetS and caused endothelial dysfunction. Increased WC and SBP could be involved in this alteration. OSA was observed in most adolescents, regardless of obesity.
- Aerobic Swim Training Restores Aortic Endothelial Function by Decreasing Superoxide Levels in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats(2017) JORDAO, Camila P.; FERNANDES, Tiago; TANAKA, Leonardo Yuji; BECHARA, Luiz R. Grassmann; SOUSA, Luis Gustavo Oliveira de; OLIVEIRA, Edilamar M.; RAMIRES, Paulo RizzoOBJECTIVE: We aimed to determine whether aerobic training decreases superoxide levels, increases nitric oxide levels, and improves endothelium-dependent vasodilation in the aortas of spontaneously hypertensive rats. METHODS: Spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY) were distributed into 2 groups: sedentary (SHRsd and WKYsd, n=10 each) and swimming-trained (SHRtr, n=10 and WKYtr, n=10, respectively). The trained group participated in training sessions 5 days/week for 1 h/day with an additional work load of 4% of the animal's body weight. After a 10-week sedentary or aerobic training period, the rats were euthanized. The thoracic aortas were removed to evaluate the vasodilator response to acetylcholine (10(-10) to 10(-4) M) with or without preincubation with L-N-G-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester hydrochloride (L-NAME; 10(-4) M) in vitro. The aortic tissue was also used to assess the levels of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide oxidase subunit isoforms 1 and 4 proteins, as well as the superoxide and nitrite contents. Blood pressure was measured using a computerized tail-cuff system. RESULTS: Aerobic training significantly increased the acetylcholine-induced maximum vasodilation observed in the SHRtr group compared with the SHRsd group (85.9 +/- 4.3 vs. 71.6 +/- 5.2%). Additionally, in the SHRtr group, superoxide levels were significantly decreased, nitric oxide bioavailability was improved, and the levels of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide oxidase subunit isoform 4 protein were decreased compared to the SHRsd group. Moreover, after training, the blood pressure of the SHRtr group decreased compared to the SHRsd group. Exercise training had no effect on the blood pressure of the WKYtr group. CONCLUSIONS: In SHR, aerobic swim training decreased vascular superoxide generation by nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide oxidase subunit isoform 4 and increased nitric oxide bioavailability, thereby improving endothelial function.
- Does Myocardial Injury Occur After an Acute Aerobic Exercise Session in Patients with Refractory Angina?(2022) MONTENEGRO, Carla Giuliano de Sa Pinto; DOURADO, Luciana Oliveira Cascaes; JORDAO, Camila Paixao; VIEIRA, Marcelo Luiz Campos; ASSUMPCAO, Camila Regina Alves; GOWDAK, Luis Henrique Wolff; PEREIRA, Alexandre da Costa; NEGRAO, Carlos Eduardo; MATOS, Luciana Diniz Nagem Janot deBackground: It is unclear whether exercise is safe in patients with more advanced forms of coronary artery disease, such as those with refractory angina (RA). Objective: We aimed to determine the effect of an acute aerobic exercise session (AAES) on high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) levels in patients with RA. Methods: This was a longitudinal, non-randomized, and non-controlled clinical study. Participants were recruited from April 2015 to January 2019. On a visual pain scale from 0 to 10, pain rated up to 3 was considered as the top level allowed to continue exercising. We assessed hs-cTnT at baseline and 3 hours after the AAES. The protocol consisted of 5 minutes of warm-up, 30 minutes of continuous aerobic exercise at heart rate corresponding to the anaerobic threshold or angina threshold obtained in the cardiopulmonary exercise testing, and 5 minutes of cooling down. P values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: Thirty-two patients with RA were included (61 +/- 9 years, 59.4% male). The baseline hs-cTnT concentration was 10.9 ng/L (95% confidence interval: 9.1 to 13.0 ng/L).The hs-cTnT collected 3 hours after the AAES was 11.1 ng/L (95% confidence interval: 9.1 to 13.5 ng/L). No difference occurred in hs-cTnT before and after AAES (p = 0.657). Conclusions: A single AAES performed at the angina threshold with corresponding visual pain scale did not alter hs-cTnT in patients with RA, suggesting that no significant myocardial injury was elicited by exercising and that this exercise protocol can be considered safe.
- In the Cardiac Rehabilitation Era, is There a ""No-Option"" Refractory Angina Patient?: A Case Report(2023) DOURADO, Luciana Oliveira Cascaes; JORDAO, Camila Paixao; ASSUMPCAO, Camila Regina Alves; MATOS, Luciana Diniz Nagem Janot deExercise-based cardiac rehabilitation, an effective and safe adjuvant treatment recommended to patients with coronary artery disease, is scarcely applied to patients with refractory angina (RA) due to difficulties related to safety, trainning prescription and their clinical management. This case report presents an instance of a ""no-option"" patient with RA, who was included in a 12-week exercise program, in sessions consisted of 40 minutes of treadmill aerobic exercise, three times a week, and intensity prescribed between ischemic/ angina threshold and ventilatory threshold 1, obtained in the cardiopulmonary exercise test; mild to moderate angina was allowed during training. Furthermore, 15 minutes of moderate-intensity resistance training (large group muscle exercises, two sets of 8 to 12 repetitions) was performed. At the end of the protocol, the patient presented an important improvement in functional performance (VO2 peak 17.0 ml/ kg/min to 27.3 ml/kg/min), angina threshold (HR 68 bpm to 95 bpm), and intensity chest pain (levels 7 to 5) with no clinical adverse events during the period. Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation was safe, even in the occurrence of angina/ ischemia during training, according to tolerability to symptoms and other warning clinical signs.
- Breast Cancer Promotes Cardiac Dysfunction Through Deregulation of Cardiomyocyte Ca2+-Handling Protein Expression That is Not Reversed by Exercise Training(2021) COSTA, Tassia S. R. da; URIAS, Ursula; V, Marcelo Negrao; JORDAO, Camila P.; PASSOS, Clevia S.; GOMES-SANTOS, Igor L.; SALEMI, Vera Maria C.; CAMARGO, Anamaria A.; BRUM, Patricia C.; OLIVEIRA, Edilamar M.; HAJJAR, Ludhmila A.; CHAMMAS, Roger; FILHO, Roberto K.; NEGRAO, Carlos E.Background Patients treated for breast cancer have a high incidence of cardiovascular complications. In this study, we evaluated the impact of breast cancer on cardiac function and cardiomyocyte Ca2+-handling protein expression. We also investigated whether exercise training (ET) would prevent these potential alterations. Methods and Results Transgenic mice with spontaneous breast cancer (mouse mammary tumor virus-polyomavirus middle T antigen [MMTV-PyMT+], n=15) and littermate mice with no cancer (MMTV-PyMT-, n=14) were studied. For the ET analysis, MMTV-PyMT+ were divided into sedentary (n=10) and exercise-trained (n=12) groups. Cardiac function was evaluated by echocardiography with speckle-tracking imaging. Exercise tolerance test was conducted on a treadmill. Both studies were performed when the tumor became palpable and when it reached 1 cm(3). After euthanasia, Ca2+-handling protein expression (Western blot) was evaluated. Exercise capacity was reduced in MMTV-PyMT+ compared with MMTV-PyMT- (P-interaction=0.031). Longitudinal strain (P-group <0.001) and strain rate (P-group=0.030) were impaired. Cardiomyocyte phospholamban was increased (P=0.011), whereas phospho-phospholamban and sodium/calcium exchanger were decreased (P=0.038 and P=0.017, respectively) in MMTV-PyMT+. No significant difference in sarcoplasmic or endoplasmic reticulum calcium 2 ATPase (SERCA2a) was found. SERCA2a/phospholamban ratio was reduced (P=0.007). ET was not associated with increased exercise capacity. ET decreased left ventricular end-systolic diameter (P-group=0.038) and end-diastolic volume (P-group=0.026). Other morphological and functional cardiac parameters were not improved by ET in MMTV-PyMT+. ET did not improve cardiomyocyte Ca2+-handling protein expression. Conclusions Breast cancer is associated with decreased exercise capacity and subclinical left ventricular dysfunction in MMTV-PyMT+, which is at least partly associated with dysregulation of cardiomyocyte Ca2+ handling. ET did not prevent or reverse these changes.
