“…In contrast, findings show that surgical procedures widely used in the treatment of heart failure, such as cardiac catheterization, angioplasty and revascularization of the myocardium, have benefits on the quality of life, since modifying the disease carrier lifestyle, reducing symptoms such as fatigue and dyspnea, optimizing your social life and reducing psychological complaints related to anxiety and depression (RANGEL et al, 2014;GAUI;OLIVEIRA;KLEIN, 2014).…”

ABSTRACT:Associations between generic and specific perceived health status have been little used in the clinical practice of the cardiovascular sciences. Describe the clinical and socio-economic profile of heart failure patients (HF) and correlate their perceived health status (PHS) (generic and specific) with clinical and socio-economic variables. Cross-sectional, quantitative and analytical study approved by the ethics committee -Federal University of Triangulo Mineiro (number 833.007). A sample of 91 individuals with different functional classes and etiologies of HF and who were in outpatient follow-up answered the following questionnaire: 1. Clinical and socioeconomic questionnaire; 2. Visual Analog Scale (VAS); 3. Minnesota Questionnaire (MLWHFQ). We studied 91 patients with HF; the majority was male (50.5%) married (52.7%), inactive (working condition) (83.51%), NYHA functional class IV (29.7%) hypertension etiology (46.2%). The VAS was correlated significantly (p <0.05) with the variables family income (r = 0.173) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (r = 0.221) and significant (p <0.01) comorbidities (r = 0.237) and medications (r = 0.475). Significant associations (p <0.05) were established between the VSA, gender, surgical procedure and NYHA functional class IV. All MLWHFQ domains were significantly associated (p <0.01) with the female gender and functional class IV. Perceived health status showed significant decline in all dimensions when compared to other published studies, demanding attention from the health professionals and new clinical strategies to manage heart failure.

“…Various cardiovascular pathologies are directly dependent on constant drug intake [Bachi et al 2017] and characterized by complex heterogeneous pathophysiological mechanisms [Senoner and Dichtl 2019]. Stimulant abuse is a major cause of new or exacerbation of pre-existing cardiac pathology, which increases morbidity and mortality in general [Rangel et al 2014]. Cocaine is a very powerful biologically active molecule that affects various cellular receptors and entire systems, which is why cocaine intoxication is one of the most common causes of various cardiovascular events, such as myocardial infarction.…”

Background: Psychomotor stimulants are the most commonly used prohibited substances after cannabis. Globally, their use reaching epidemiological proportions and is one of the most common causes of death in many countries. In recent years, more research, define drug use as the leading cause of serious cardiovascular pathologies ranging from abnormal heart rhythms to heart attack and sudden cardiac death. The reactive oxygen species generation, toxic metabolites formation and oxidative stress play a significant role in cocaine-induced cardiotoxicity. Main body: In the present review, we discuss various studies related to dopamine neurotransmission and oxidative stress, with a focus on the cardiotoxicity of the cocaine molecule and the cardiovascular complications that occur after cocaine use. Conclusion: Hypothetically, this study can serve as a basis for developing a rapid and effective method for determining oxidative stress levels by monitoring changes in the redox status of patients with cocaine intoxication.
