- 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.
- Decreased Native T1 Values and Impaired Myocardial Contractility in Anabolic Steroid Users(2022) SOUZA, Francis Ribeiro de; SANTOS, Marcelo Rodrigues dos; ROCHITTE, Carlos Eduardo; SANTOS, Rafael Parenquine dos; JORDAO, Camila Paixao; LEITE, Ivanhoe Stuart; FONSECA, Guilherme Wesley Peixoto da; FONSECA, Rafael Almeida; OLIVEIRA, Tiago Franco de; YONAMINE, Mauricio; PEREIRA, Rosa Maria Rodrigues; NEGRAO, Carlos Eduardo; ALVES, de Nazare Nunes Maria JanieireAnabolic androgenic steroid (AAS) abuse leads to myocardial toxicity. Human studies are conflicting about the myocardial fibrosis in AAS users. We evaluated cardiac tissue characterization, left ventricle (LV) function, and cardiac structure by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). Twenty strength-trained AAS users (AASU) aged 29 +/- 5yr, 20 strength-trained AAS nonusers (AASNU), and 7 sedentary controls (SC) were enrolled. Native T1 mapping, late-gadolinium enhancement (LGE), extracellular volume (ECV), and myocardial strain were evaluated. AASU showed lower Native T1 values than AASNU (888 +/- 162 vs. 1020 +/- 179ms p=0.047). Focal myocardial fibrosis was found in 2 AASU. AASU showed lower LV radial strain (30 +/- 8 vs. 38 +/- 6%, p<0.01), LV circumferential strain (-17 +/- 3 vs. -20 +/- 2%, p<0.01), and LV global longitudinal strain (-17 +/- 3 vs. -20 +/- 3%, p<0.01) than AASNU by CMR. By echocardiography, AASU demonstrated lower 4-chamber longitudinal strain than AASNU (-15 +/- g3 vs. -18 +/- 2%, p=0.03). ECV was similar among AASU, AASNU, and SC (28 +/- 10 vs. 28 +/- 7 vs. 30 +/- 7%, p=0.93). AASU had higher LV mass index than AASNU and SC (85 +/- 14 vs. 64 +/- 8 vs. 58 +/- 5g/m(2), respectively, p<0.01). AAS abuse may be linked to decreased myocardial native T1 values, impaired myocardial contractility, and focal fibrosis. These alterations may be associated with maladaptive cardiac hypertrophy in young AAS users.
- Neurovascular and hemodynamic responses to mental stress and exercise in severe COVID-19 survivors(2023) FARIA, Diego; MOLL-BERNARDES, Renata; TESTA, Laura; MONIZ, Camila M. V.; RODRIGUES, Erika C.; MOTA, Jose M.; SOUZA, Francis R.; ALVES, Maria Janieire N. N.; ONO, Bruna E.; IZAIAS, Joao E.; SALES, Artur O.; RODRIGUES, Thais S.; SALEMI, Vera M. C.; JORDAO, Camila P.; ANGELIS, Katia De; CRAIGHEAD, Daniel H.; ROSSMAN, Matthew J.; BORTOLOTTO, Luiz A.; CONSOLIM-COLOMBO, Fernanda M.; IRIGOYEN, Maria C. C.; SEALS, Douglas R.; NEGRAO, Carlos E.; SALES, Allan R. K.Previous studies show that COVID-19 survivors have elevated muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA), endothelial dysfunction, and aortic stiffening. However, the neurovascular responses to mental stress and exercise are still unexplored. We hypothesized that COVID-19 survivors, compared with age-and body mass index (BMI)-matched control subjects, exhibit abnormal neurovascular responses to mental stress and physical exercise. Fifteen severe COVID-19 survivors (aged: 49 +/- 2 yr, BMI: 30 +/- 1 kg/m(2)) and 15 well-matched control subjects (aged: 46 +/- 3 yr, BMI: 29 +/- 1 kg/m(2)) were studied. MSNA (microneurography), forearm blood flow (FBF), and forearm vascular conductance (FVC, venous occlusion plethysmography), mean arterial pressure (MAP, Finometer), and heart rate (HR, ECG) were measured during a 3-min mental stress (Stroop Color-Word Test) and during a 3-min isometric handgrip exercise (30% of maximal voluntary contraction). During mental stress, MSNA (frequency and incidence) responses were higher in COVID-19 survivors than in controls (P < 0.001), and FBF and FVC responses were attenuated (P < 0.05). MAP was similar between the groups (P > 0.05). In contrast, the MSNA (frequency and incidence) and FBF and FVC responses to handgrip exercise were similar between the groups (P > 0.05). MAP was lower in COVID-19 survivors (P < 0.05). COVID-19 survivors exhibit an exaggerated MSNA and blunted vasodilatory response to mental challenge compared with healthy adults. However, the neurovascular response to handgrip exercise is preserved in COVID-19 survivors. Overall, the abnormal neurovascular control in response to mental stress suggests that COVID-19 survivors may have an increased risk to cardiovascular events during mental challenge.
- 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.
- 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.
