Renin-angiotensin System Antagonists and Beta-blockers in Prevention of Anthracycline Cardiotoxicity: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis Open
Background The evidence supporting the use of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitors and beta-blockers for the prevention of anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathy is controversial. Objective We performed a meta-analysis to a…

Antagonistas do Sistema Renina-Angiotensina e Betabloqueadores na Prevenção da Cardiotoxicidade por Antraciclinas: Revisão Sistemática e Metanálise Open
The use of RAAS inhibitors and beta-blockers to prevent anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity was associated with less pronounced reduction in LVEF, higher final LVEF, and lower incidence of heart failure. No changes in mortality were obser…

Superior prognostic value of three-dimensional echocardiography-derived right ventricular ejection fraction: a meta-analysis Open
Aims We aimed to confirm that three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE)-derived right ventricular (RV) ejection fraction (EF) is a more robust predictor of adverse cardiopulmonary outcomes than the conventional echocardiographic parameters.…

Radiography and Computed Tomography Detection of Intimal and Medial Calcifications in Leg Arteries in Comparison to Histology Open
Calcifications are common in the tunica intima and tunica media of leg arteries. There is growing interest in medial arterial calcifications, as they may be modifiable with treatment. We aimed to investigate radiography and computed tomogr…

Effect of intravenous thrombolysis in stroke depends on pattern of intracranial internal carotid artery calcification Open
Intravenous thrombolysis was significantly associated with favorable clinical outcome and successful recanalization in the group with a medial ICAC pattern, but not in the group with an intimal ICAC pattern.

Arterial calcification and long-term outcome in chronic limb-threatening ischemia patients Open
Annularity of calcification of both femoropopliteal and crural arteries is a predictor for 10-year all-cause survival, its hazard being even higher than the traditional prognostic risk factors for CLI and therefore could be involved in the…
