Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of cardiovascular function from multi-Gaussian fitting of a finger photoplethysmogram.
R. Couceiro,Paulo Carvalho,Rui Pedro Paiva,Jorge Henriques,I. Quintal,Manuel J. Antunes,Jens Muehlsteff,Christian Eickholt,Christoph Brinkmeyer,Malte Kelm,Christian Meyer +10 more
TL;DR: A new method for the extraction of cardiovascular performance surrogates from analysis of the photoplethysmographic (PPG) signal alone using a multi-Gaussian (MG) model consisting of five Gaussian functions to decompose the PPG pulses into its main physiological components is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glucose uptake and lipid metabolism are impaired in epicardial adipose tissue from heart failure patients with or without diabetes
Ana Burgeiro,A. Fuhrmann,Sam Cherian,Daniel Espinoza,Ivana Jarak,Rui A. Carvalho,Marisa Loureiro,Miguel Patrício,Manuel J. Antunes,Eugenia Carvalho +9 more
TL;DR: Potential metabolic differences between both fat depots in the presence of heart failure are emphasized and highlight epicardial fat as a possible therapeutic target in situ in the cardiac microenvironment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surgery of chest wall deformities
TL;DR: Surgical treatment of chest wall deformities using this technique leads to good cosmetic, orthopedic and psychological results, and it is believed that the operations should be performed at any age in patients who have at least a moderate deformity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Allograft aortic root replacement in complex prosthetic endocarditis
TL;DR: Allograft aortic root replacement in prosthetic endocarditis complicated by abscess and/or periprosthetic leakage carries low morbidity and mortality and, in this series, no recurrence of infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antithrombotic therapy after bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement: ACTION Registry survey results
Andrea Colli,Jean-Philippe Verhoye,Robin Heijmen,Justus Strauch,Jonathan A.J. Hyde,Domenico Pagano,Manuel J. Antunes,Heinrich Koertke,Sunil K. Ohri,Dorothee H.L. Bail,Pascal Leprince,Bart H.M. Van Straten,Tiziano Gherli +12 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that, despite guidelines published by several professional societies, medical practice for the prevention of thrombotic events early after bioprosthetic AVR varies widely among cardiac surgical centers.
