A Subanalysis of the REMADHE Prospective Trial(2013) AYUB-FERREIRA, Silvia M.; MANGINI, Sandrigo; ISSA, Victor S.; CRUZ, Fatima D.; BACAL, Fernando; GUIMARAES, Guilherme V.; CHIZZOLA, Paulo R.; CONCEICAO-SOUZA, Germano E.; MARCONDES-BRAGA, Fabiana G.; BOCCHI, Edimar A.Background: Sudden death has been considered the main cause of death in patients with Chagas heart disease. Nevertheless, this information comes from a period before the introduction of drugs that changed the natural history of heart failure. We sought to study the mode of death of patients with heart failure caused by Chagas heart disease, comparing with non-Chagas cardiomyopathy. Methods and results: We examined the REMADHE trial and grouped patients according to etiology (Chagas vs non-Chagas) and mode of death. The primary end-point was all-cause, heart failure and sudden death mortality; 342 patients were analyzed and 185 (54.1%) died. Death occurred in 56.4% Chagas patients and 53.7% non-Chagas patients. The cumulative incidence of all-cause mortality and heart failure mortality was significantly higher in Chagas patients compared to non-Chagas. There was no difference in the cumulative incidence of sudden death mortality between the two groups. In the Cox regression model, Chagas etiology (HR 2.76; CI 1.34-5.69; p = 0.006), LVEDD (left ventricular end diastolic diameter) (HR 1.07; CI 1.04-1.10; p<0.001), creatinine clearance (HR 0.98; CI 0.97-0.99; p = 0.006) and use of amiodarone (HR 3.05; CI 1.47-6.34; p = 0.003) were independently associated with heart failure mortality. LVEDD (HR 1.04; CI 1.01-1.07; p = 0.005) and use of beta-blocker (HR 0.52; CI 0.34-0.94; p = 0.014) were independently associated with sudden death mortality. Conclusions: In severe Chagas heart disease, progressive heart failure is the most important mode of death. These data challenge the current understanding of Chagas heart disease and may have implications in the selection of treatment choices, considering the mode of death.
- Prescribing and Regulating Exercise with RPE after Heart Transplant: A Pilot Study(2015) CIOLAC, Emmanuel Gomes; CASTRO, Rafael Ertner; GREVE, Julia Maria D'Andrea; BACAL, Fernando; BOCCHI, Edimar Alcides; GUIMARAES, Guilherme VeigaPurpose The objective of this study is to analyze the use of the 6-20 RPE scale for prescribing and self-regulating heated water-based exercise (HEx) and land-based exercise (LEx) in heart transplant recipients. Methods Fifteen (five females) clinically stable heart transplant recipients (time since surgery = 4.0 2.5 yr) age 46.7 11.8 yr underwent a symptom-limited maximal graded exercise test on a treadmill to determine their HR at anaerobic threshold (HRAT), respiratory compensation point (HRRCP), and maximal effort (HRmax). After a week, patients were randomized to perform 30 min of both HEx (walking inside the pool) and LEx (treadmill walking) sessions at a pace between 11 and 13 on the 6-20 RPE scale and had their HR measured every 4 min. The interval between sessions was 48-72 h. Results No significant differences between sessions were found in the average HR during HEx and LEx. Patients showed a delay in HR increase during both interventions, with the stabilization beginning after 8 min of exercise. Exercise HR was maintained between the HRAT and HRRCP (in the aerobic exercise training zone) for the most part of both HEx (72% of HR measurements) and LEx (66% of HR measurements). Only a few HR measurements stayed below HRAT (HEx = 9%, LEx = 13%) or above HRRCP (HEx = 19%, LEx = 21%) during both exercise sessions. Conclusion Exercise HR was maintained in the aerobic exercise training zone (between HRAT and HRRCP) for the most part of both sessions, suggesting that the 6-20 RPE scale may be an efficient tool for prescribing and self-regulating HEx and LEx in heart transplant recipients.

L.; BACAL, Fernando; JATENE, Fabio B.- Impact of Exhaled Breath Acetone in the Prognosis of Patients with Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF). One Year of Clinical Follow-up(2016) MARCONDES-BRAGA, Fabiana G.; BATISTA, Guilherme L.; GUTZ, Ivano G. R.; SALDIVA, Paulo H. N.; MANGINI, Sandrigo; ISSA, Victor S.; AYUB-FERREIRA, Silvia M.; BOCCHI, Edimar A.; PEREIRA, Alexandre Costa; BACAL, FernandoBackground The identification of new biomarkers of heart failure (HF) could help in its treatment. Previously, our group studied 89 patients with HF and showed that exhaled breath acetone (EBA) is a new noninvasive biomarker of HF diagnosis. However, there is no data about the relevance of EBA as a biomarker of prognosis. Objectives To evaluate whether EBA could give prognostic information in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Methods After breath collection and analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and by spectrophotometry, the 89 patients referred before were followed by one year. Study physicians, blind to the results of cardiac biomarker testing, ascertained vital status of each study participant at 12 months. Results The composite endpoint death and heart transplantation (HT) were observed in 35 patients (39.3%): 29 patients (32.6%) died and 6 (6.7%) were submitted to HT within 12 months after study enrollment. High levels of EBA (>= 3.7 mu g/L, 50th percentile) were associated with a progressively worse prognosis in 12-month follow-up (log-rank = 11.06, p = 0.001). Concentrations of EBA above 3.7 mu g/L increased the risk of death or HT in 3.26 times (HR = 3.26, 95% CI = 1.56-6.80, p = 0.002) within 12 months. In a multivariable cox regression model, the independent predictors of all-cause mortality were systolic blood pressure, respiratory rate and EBA levels. Conclusions High EBA levels could be associated to poor prognosis in HFrEF patients.
