Journal ArticleDOI
Epicardial adipose tissue is an independent predictor of coronary atherosclerotic burden
Nuno Bettencourt,André Michael Toschke,Daniel Leite,João Rocha,Mónica Carvalho,Francisco J.B. Sampaio,Sónia Xará,Adelino F. Leite-Moreira,Eike Nagel,Vasco Gama +9 more
TL;DR: EAT volume positively relates to coronary atherosclerotic burden, as assessed by CAC; this correlation was shown to be independent of AVF.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct comparison of cardiac magnetic resonance and multidetector computed tomography stress-rest perfusion imaging for detection of coronary artery disease.
Nuno Bettencourt,Amedeo Chiribiri,Andreas Schuster,Nuno Ferreira,Francisco Sampaio,Francisco Sampaio,Gustavo Pires-Morais,Lino Santos,Bruno Melica,Alberto Rodrigues,Pedro Braga,Luís Filipe Azevedo,Madalena Teixeira,Adelino F. Leite-Moreira,José Silva-Cardoso,Eike Nagel,Vasco Gama +16 more
TL;DR: The MDCT-IP had a sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of 89, 83, 80% and 90%, respectively (global accuracy 85%). These results were closely related with those achieved by CMR-Perf: 89, 88, 85% and 91%, respectively as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gold Complexes with Dithiothiophene Ligands: A Metal Based on a Neutral Molecule
Dulce Belo,Helena Alves,Elsa B. Lopes,Maria Teresa Duarte,Vasco Gama,Rui Henriques,Manuel Almeida,Aarón Pérez-Benítez,Concepció Rovira,Jaume Veciana +9 more
TL;DR: Interestingly, the neutral complex [Au(alpha-tpdt)2] (8) as a polycrystalline sample displays the properties of a metallic system with a room temperature electrical conductivity of 6 S x cm(-1) and a thermoelectric power of 5.5 microVK(-1); this is the first time that this metallic property has been observed in a molecular system based on a neutral species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systolic and diastolic dysfunction in cirrhosis: a tissue-Doppler and speckle tracking echocardiography study.
Francisco Sampaio,Joana Pimenta,Nuno Bettencourt,Ricardo Fontes-Carvalho,Ana Paula Silva,João Valente,Paulo Bettencourt,José Carlos Soares de Fraga,Vasco Gama +8 more
TL;DR: Evaluating cardiac function in cirrhosis patients assessing left ventricular systolic and diastolic function using speckle‐tracking imaging and tissue‐Doppler based algorithm and comparing it with previously proposed definition of diastolics dysfunction (DD).
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of Epicardial and Visceral Fat on Left Ventricular Diastolic and Systolic Functions in Patients After Myocardial Infarction
Ricardo Fontes-Carvalho,Marta Fontes-Oliveira,Francisco J.B. Sampaio,Jennifer Mancio,Nuno Bettencourt,Madalena Teixeira,Francisco Rocha Gonçalves,Vasco Gama,Adelino F. Leite-Moreira +8 more
TL;DR: In patients after myocardial infarction, impaired LV diastolic function was associated with increased adiposity, especially with visceral and central fat parameters, and increasing EFV was independently associated with worse LV diastsolic function.
