Effects of comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation on functional capacity in a middle-income country: a randomised controlled trial
Objective Despite the growing epidemic of cardiovascular diseases in middle-income countries, there is insufficient evidence about cardiac rehabilitation (CR) in these countries. Thus, the effects of comprehensive CR on functional capacity and risk factors were investigated in Brazil, to test the hypothesis that it results in better outcomes than exercise-only or no CR.
Heartbeat: Do public access defibrillators save lives?
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is frequently the first manifestation of heart disease and early defibrillation, using a public access defibrillator (PAD) by bystanders, can improve the chance of survival and recovery.
Intestinal paracoccidioidomycosis resembling Crohn’s disease in a teenager: a case report
Paracoccidioidomycosis is a fungal disease that can be expressed systemically, leading to several complications which may in turn lead to a variety of clinical manifestations [2]. The GI tract is affected in a minority of cases, and patients may present bloody diarrhea, abdominal pain, and malabsorption syndrome actually caused by other pathologies [5, 8]. This fungal disease is the most prevalent mycosis in Latin America [8].
Ranking Enzyme Structures in the PDB by Bound Ligand Similarity to Biological Substrates
Use Case 1: Finding PDBs with the Most Similar Bound Ligands to KEGG R01026 Use Case 2: Finding PDBs with the Most Similar Bound Ligands to EC 4.2.1.75 Rank Ordered Similarity for Each KEGG and EC A limitation of the methodology described is the potentially imprecise matching of PDB to KEGG via the EC reference number(s) in SIFTS.
Tackling acute coronary syndrome in low-income and middle-income countries
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is now the leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide, accounting for approximately one-third of all deaths globally.1 While popular belief presumes that non-communicable diseases (NCDs) afflict mostly high-income populations, the evidence tells a very different story. Nearly 80% of NCD deaths occur in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs).

Heartbeat: Implementation gaps in cardiovascular care in middle-low income countries
Numerous papers address the implementation gap for heart failure management, but most articles include only patients and health assistance in high income countries. In reality, most patients with heart failure live in middle or low income countries where the bottleneck for better care is related to suboptimal health facilities infra-structure, as well as lack of access to basic care and drugs.
On the Rise: Inside São Paulo's Youth-Driven Revival
On a 70-degree winter’s day in São Paulo, a young crowd in vintage tees and Common Projects sneakers sipped cafezinhos on the terrace of Mirante 9 de Julho , a café and cultural hub that occupies a formerly abandoned platform over the 9 de Julho Avenue Tunnel in São Paulo’s Bela Vista district. A model with an Afro picked at bacon doughnuts while a couple of laptop jockeys tapped away and a DJ spun hip-hop by the door.
Heartbeat: Anatomy versus physiology for diagnosis of coronary artery disease
The optimal approach to the initial diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with chest pain symptoms is controversial. Historically, graded treadmill exercise stress testing for diagnosis of CAD was proposed in 1963 by Robert A. Bruce in Seattle because direct visualisation of the coronary arteries was expensive and risky at that time.
Text messaging for prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease: time to move on
In patients with cardiovascular diseases, comprehensive risk factor control and lifestyle modification reduce the risk of recurrent events and the need for revascularisation procedures, and improve survival and quality of life.1 Despite this convincing evidence, in the real world, there are several barriers that hamper the application of such measures and prevent patients from benefiting from measures that reduce cardiovascular risk.
Heartbeat: Managing cardiovascular disease as a family of diseases in the community
Although at least 80% of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is potentially preventable by the elimination of health risk behaviours, implementation of effective, large scale and sustainable CVD prevention programs is still a challenge.

Heartbeat: Coronary heart disease, obesity, smoking and long-lasting psychological distress
The importance of depression and psychological distress as a risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD), is widely recognised, particularly in post-acute myocardial infarction patients. In this issue of Heart, Virtanen and colleagues1 report an original contribution to this field studying the long-term association of CHD and cardiovascular risk factors with levels of psychological distress over the patient’s lifetime, including symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Leisure Time Physical Activity and Cardio‐Metabolic Health: Results From the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA‐Brasil)
Background Although increasing effort has been devoted to the promotion of a healthy lifestyle such as leisure time physical activity for cardio‐metabolic health, specific evidence supporting health policy remains sparse, particularly in those ethnically diverse populations where cardio‐metabolic diseases are reaching epidemic proportion and yet are grossly understudied.
