- Mode of Death on Chagas Heart Disease: Comparison with Other Etiologies. 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.
- Effects of the exercise training on skeletal muscle oxygen consumption in heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction(2021) GUIMARAES, Guilherme Veiga; RIBEIRO, Fernando; CASTRO, Rafael Ertner; ROQUE, Jean Marcelo; MACHADO, Alexander Douglas Teixeira; ANTUNES-CORREA, Ligia M.; FERREIRA, Silvia Ayub; BOCCHI, Edimar AlcidesAims: Skeletal muscle dysfunction is a systemic consequence of heart failure (HF) that correlates with functional capacity. However, the impairment within the skeletal muscle is not well established. We investigated the effect of exercise training on peripheral muscular performance and oxygenation in HF patients. Methods and results: HF patients with ejection fraction <= 40% were randomized 2:1 to exercise training or control for 12 weeks. Muscle tissue oxygen was measured noninvasively by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIPS) during rest and a symptom-limited cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) before and after intervention. Measurements included skeletal muscle oxygenated hemoglobin concentration, deoxygenated hemoglobin concentration, total hemoglobin concentration, VO2 peak, VE/VCO2 slope, and heart rate. Muscle sympathetic nerve activity by microneurography, and muscle blood flow by plethysmography were also assessed at rest pre and post 12 weeks. Twenty-four participants (47.5 +/- 7.4 years, 58% men, 75% no ischemic) were allocated to exercise training (ET, n = 16) or control (CG, n = 8). At baseline, no differences between groups were found. Exercise improved VO2 peak, slope VE/VCO2, and heart rate. After the intervention, significant improvements at rest were seen in the ET group in muscle sympathetic nerve activity and muscle blood flow. Concomitantly, a significant decreased in Oxy-Hb (from 29.4 +/- 20.4 to 15.7 +/- 9.0 mu mol, p = 0.01), Deoxi-Hb (from 16.3 +/- 8.2 to 12.2 +/- 6.0 mu mol, p = 0.003) and HbT (from 45.7 +/- 27.6 to 27.7 +/- 13.4 mu mol, p = 0.008) was detected at peak exercise after training. No changes were observed in the control group. Conclusion: Exercise training improves skeletal muscle function and functional capacity in HF patients with reduced ejection fraction. This improvement was associated with increased oxygenation of the peripheral muscles, increased muscle blood flow, and decreased sympathetic nerve activity.
- Hypertonic saline solution for prevention of renal dysfunction in patients with decompensated heart failure(2013) ISSA, Victor S.; ANDRADE, Lucia; AYUB-FERREIRA, Silvia M.; BACAL, Fernando; BRAGANCA, Ana C. de; GUIMARAES, Guilherme V.; MARCONDES-BRAGA, Fabiana G.; CRUZ, Fatima D.; CHIZZOLA, Paulo R.; CONCEICAO-SOUZA, Germano E.; VELASCO, Irineu T.; BOCCHI, Edimar A.Background: Renal dysfunction is associated with increased mortality in patients with decompensated heart failure. However, interventions targeted to prevention in this setting have been disappointing. We investigated the effects of hypertonic saline solution (HSS) for prevention of renal dysfunction in decompensated heart failure. Methods: In a double-blind randomized trial, patients with decompensated heart failure were assigned to receive three-day course of 100 mL HSS (NaCl 7.5%) twice daily or placebo. Primary end point was an increase in serumcreatinine of 0.3 mg/dL or more. Main secondary end point was change in biomarkers of renal function, including serum levels of creatinine, cystatin C, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin-NGAL and the urinary excretion of aquaporin 2 (AQP(2)), urea transporter (UT-A(1)), and sodium/hydrogen exchanger 3 (NHE3). Results: Twenty-two patients were assigned to HSS and 12 to placebo. Primary end point occurred in two (10%) patients in HSS group and six (50%) in placebo group (relative risk 0.3; 95% CI 0.09-0.98; P=0.01). Relative to baseline, serum creatinine and cystatin C levels were lower in HSS as compared to placebo (P=0.004 and 0.03, respectively). NGAL level was not statistically different between groups, however the urinary expression of AQP2, UT-A1 and NHE3 was significantly higher in HSS than in placebo. Conclusions: HSS administration attenuated heart failure-induced kidney dysfunction as indicated by improvement in both glomerular and tubular defects, a finding with important clinical implications. HSS modulated the expression of tubular proteins involved in regulation of water and electrolyte homeostasis.
conferenceObject Impact of optimizing of heart failure therapy in cardiac remodeling reversal: morphological, electrical and functional analysis(2013) SAMUEL, M. Avila; AYUB-FERREIRA, S. M.; ISSA, V. S.; VIEIRA, M. L. C.; GUIMARAES, G. V.; BELLI, J. F. C.; PEREIRA, M. B.; VALETTE, T. N.; BOCCHI, E. A.- Exercise training improves ambulatory blood pressure but not arterial stiffness in heart transplant recipients(2015) PASCOALINO, Lucas Nobilo; CIOLAC, Emmanuel Gomes; TAVARES, Aline Cristina; CASTRO, Rafael Ertner; AYUB-FERREIRA, Silvia Moreira; BACAL, Fernando; ISSA, Victor Sarli; BOCCHI, Edimar Alcides; GUIMARAES, Guilherme VeigaBACKGROUND: Hypertension is the most prevalent comorbidity after heart transplantation (HT). Exercise training (ET) is widely recommended as a key non-pharmacologic intervention for the prevention and management of hypertension, but its effects on ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) and some mechanisms involved in the pathophysiology of hypertension have not been studied in this population. The primary purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of ET on ABP and arterial stiffness of HT recipients. METHODS: 40 HT patients, randomized to ET (n = 31) or a control group (n = 9) underwent a maximal graded exercise test, 24-hour ABP monitoring, and carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) assessment before the intervention and at a 12-week follow-up assessment. The ET program was performed thrice-weekly and consisted primarily of endurance exercise (40 minutes) at similar to 70% of maximum oxygen uptake (Vo(2MAX)) RESULTS: The ET group had reduced 24-hour (4.0 +/- 1.4 mm Hg, p < 0.01) and daytime (4.8 +/- 1.6 mm Hg, p < 0.01) systolic ABP, and 24-hour (7.0 +/- 1.4 mm Hg, p < 0.001) daytime (7.5 +/- 1.6 mm Hg, p < 0.001) and nighttime (5.9 +/- 1.5 mm Hg, p < 0.001) diastolic ABP after the intervention. The ET group also had improved Vo(2MAX) (9.7% +/- 2.6%, p < 0.001) after the intervention. However, PWV did not change after ET. No variable was changed in the control group after the intervention. CONCLUSIONS: The 12-week ET program was effective for reducing ABP but not PWV in heart transplant recipients. This result suggesfs that endurance ET may be a tool to counteract hypertension in this high-risk population.
conferenceObject Cost-effectiveness of long-term disease management program in heart failure: results from the REMADHE trial(2013) BOCCHI, E. A.; CRUZ, F.; BRANDAO, S.; GUIMARAES, G.; BACAL, F.; ISSA, V. S.; CHIZZOLA, P.; SOUZA, G.; FERREIRA, S. M. A.- Effects of ss-blocker therapy on exercise oscillatory ventilation in reduced ejection fraction heart failure patients: A case series study(2022) BELLI-MARIN, Juliana Fernanda Calhado; BOCCHI, Edimar Alcides; AYUB-FERREIRA, Silvia; CARVAS JUNIOR, Nelson; GUIMARAES, Guilherme VeigaBackground: Exercise oscillatory ventilation (EOV) is an abnormal breathing pattern that occurs in similar to 20% of patients with heart failure (HF) and is associated with poor prognosis and exercise intolerance. ss-blockers (ss b) are prescribed for most HF patients; however, their effect on EOV remains unclear. We evaluated the effect of ss b on EOV in HF patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Methods: Fifteen patients diagnosed with HF, ejection fraction < 45%, aged from 18 to 65 years, were included before starting ss b therapy. Patients underwent clinical evaluation, cardiopulmonary exercise testing, echocardiography, laboratory exams (norepinephrine levels, B type natriuretic peptide) at baseline and after ss b therapy optimized for six months. Presence of exercise oscillatory breathing was determined by two experienced observers who were blinded to the moment of the test (pre or post). Results: Fifteen patients (1 female), aged 49.5 +/- 2.5 years, with HFrEF, NYHA I-III enrolled in the study. The etiologies of the HFrEF were idiopathic (n = 8) and hypertensive (n = 7). LVEF increased after ss b therapy from 25.9 +/- 2.5% to 33 +/- 2.6%, P = 0.02; peak VO2 did not significantly change (21.8 +/- 1.7 vs 24.7 +/- 1.9, P = 0.4); VE/VCO2 slope changed from 32.1 +/- 10.6-27.5 +/- 9.1, P = 0.03. Before ss b initiation, nine patients (60%) had EOV, but only two (13%) did after optimized therapy. McNemar test was used to evaluate the significance of the association between the two moments (P = 0.02). Conclusion: In patients with HF, medical therapy with ss b can reverse EOV. This may explain why these patients experience symptom improvement after ss b therapy.

P.; AYUB-FERREIRA, Silvia M.; AVILA, Monica S.; BRANDAO, Sara M. G.; CRUZ, Fatima D.; SANTOS, Marilia H. H.; CRUZ, Cecilia B. B. V.; ALVES, Marco S. L.; ISSA, Victor S.; GUIMARAES, Guilherme V.; CUNHA-NETO, Edecio; BOCCHI, Edimar A.Cardiotoxicity is associated with the chronic use of doxorubicin leading to cardiomyopathy and heart failure. Identification of cardiotoxicity-specific miRNA biomarkers could provide clinicians with a valuable prognostic tool. The aim of the study was to evaluate circulating levels of miRNAs in breast cancer patients receiving doxorubicin treatment and to correlate with cardiac function. This is an ancillary study from ""Carvedilol Effect on Chemotherapy-induced Cardiotoxicity"" (CECCY trial), which included 56 female patients (49.9 +/- 3.3 years of age) from the placebo arm. Enrolled patients were treated with doxorubicin followed by taxanes. cTnI, LVEF, and miRNAs were measured periodically. Circulating levels of miR-1,-133b,-146a, and -423-5p increased during the treatment whereas miR-208a and -208b were undetectable. cTnI increased from 6.6 +/- 0.3 to 46.7 +/- 5.5 pg/mL (p<0.001), while overall LVEF tended to decrease from 65.3 +/- 0.5 to 63.8 +/- 0.9 (p=0.053) over 12 months. Ten patients (17.9%) developed cardiotoxicity showing a decrease in LVEF from 67.2 +/- 1.0 to 58.8 +/- 2.7 (p=0.005). miR-1 was associated with changes in LVEF (r=-0.531, p<0.001). In a ROC curve analysis miR-1 showed an AUC greater than cTnI to discriminate between patients who did and did not develop cardiotoxicity (AUC = 0.851 and 0.544, p = 0.0016). Our data suggest that circulating miR-1 might be a potential new biomarker of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in breast cancer patients.
