The Effects of Oral Inorganic Nitrate Supplementation on Lower Limb Perfusion During Exercise in Patients With PAD
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a highly prevalent and costly condition. Intermittent claudication (IC), defined as ischemic leg pain that occurs with walking, results in functional impairment, reduced daily physical activity, and a lower quality of life. Although the mechanisms contributing to functional impairment are not fully delineated, current evidence …

INvestigation of TENS Efficacy Versus Posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation for Overactive Bladder (INTENSE)
The objective of this research is to perform a non-masked, non-inferiority randomized controlled trial to assess the quality of life (QOL) of women with idiopathic overactive bladder (OAB) before and after treatment with percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) of tibial nerve. The target population …

Microvascular Dysfunction in Obesity
Impaired endothelial function is observed in disease states related to obesity, such as atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, and diabetes. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and resultant oxidative stress contribute to the development of these obesity-related diseases. The enzyme NADPH-oxidase is a major source of oxidative stress within the vasculature, and …

Ultra-high-resolution CT vs. Conventional Angiography for Detecting Coronary Heart Disease
Cardiac catheterization with invasive coronary angiography is the gold standard for determining the presence or absence of significant coronary heart disease (CHD). However, cardiac catheterization is costly and, as an invasive procedure, it is associated with some risk of adverse events, rarely even stroke, myocardial infarction, or death. Recent advances …

Genetic Analysis of Heart Channelopathies in Brazilian Patients and Their Relatives
several genes have been associated with ion channel diseases, but a large number of families do not yet have an identified genetic cause. There is a lack of information on the genetic characteristics of channelopathies in Brazilians affected by these diseases. This study aims to carry out a comprehensive genetic …

Biochemical and Electrocardiographic Signatures in the Detection of Exercise-induced Myocardial Ischemia
The primary aim is to perform the largest study worldwide to evaluate novel biochemical and electrocardiographic signatures alone as well as in combination with the standard 12-lead exercise ECG in the detection of exercise-induced myocardial ischemia (diagnostic endpoint). The secondary aim is to evaluate these innovative tools in the risk …
