Fundamento: Não está claro se o exercício é seguro em pacientes com formas mais avançadas de doença arterial coronariana, como aqueles com angina refratária (AR). Objetivo: Visamos determinar o efeito de uma sessão de exercício aeróbico agudo (SEAA) nos níveis de troponina T cardíaca de alta sensibilidade (TnT-as) em pacientes com AR. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo clínico longitudinal, não randomizado e não controlado. Os participantes foram recrutados de abril de 2015 a janeiro de 2019. Em uma escala visual de dor de 0 a 10, a dor classificada até 3 foi considerada como o nível máximo permitido para continuar o exercício. Avaliamos TnT-as na linha de base e 3 horas após a SEAA. O protocolo consistiu em 5 minutos de aquecimento, 30 minutos de exercício aeróbico contínuo na frequência cardíaca correspondente ao limiar anaeróbio ou limiar de angina obtido no teste de esforço cardiopulmonar e 5 minutos de resfriamento. Foram considerados estatisticamente significativos valores de p menores que 0,05.Resultados: Foram incluídos 32 pacientes com AR (61 ± 9 anos, 59,4% do sexo masculino). A concentração basal de TnTas foi de 10,9 ng/L (intervalo de confiança de 95%: 9,1 a 13,0 ng/L). A TnT-as coletada 3 horas após a SEAA foi de 11,1 ng/L (intervalo de confiança de 95%: 9,1 a 13,5 ng/L). Nenhuma diferença ocorreu na TnT-as antes e após a SEAA (p = 0,657).Conclusões: Uma única SEAA realizada no limiar de angina com correspondente escala visual de dor não alterou a TnTas em pacientes com AR, sugerindo que nenhuma lesão miocárdica significativa foi provocada pelo exercício e que este protocolo de exercício pode ser considerado seguro.
The present study aimed to assess the effect of a 24-week intervention on the physical activity level among adults at risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). Methods: It was included 129 individuals of both sexes who underwent the Preventive Health Checkup at the Albert Einstein Israelita Hospital between January and August 2010 and who were at high and very high risk of developing DM2. The risk of developing DM2 was assessed according to the FINDRISC criteria. All participants were evaluated by the International Physical Activity Questioner (IPAQ). Subjects were followed-up for 24 weeks by a physical education professional through emails during a 6 month period. The IPAQ was sent by email after 3 and 6 months of follow-up. Statistical analysis was performed using the chi-square test with p<0.05 and the Yule Coefficient test. Results: At baseline of the follow-up period, 80.3% of individuals failed to comply with the recommended weekly physical activity. In the end, motivational intervention by e-mail encouraged 74.2% of individuals to comply with the weeklyrecommended physical activity and only 1.5% were classified as sedentary. Conclusion: Therefore, the follow-up protocol conducted by periodic and personalized e-mails proved to be effective in promoting physical activity among people at risk of developing metabolic diseases.
Cardiovascular disease, cancer, respiratory and metabolic disease represent 63% of all deaths worldwide and are considered the major causes of morbidity and mortality. Physical inactivity is considered a case of public health, and other behavioral and metabolic risk factors, according to WHO (2011), such as smoking, increased blood pressure, increased blood glucose, hypercholesterolemia, overweight and obesity. The Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is the most prevalent liver disease in adults, and can progress and be characterized as hepatic steatosis (HS) which is derived from the accumulation of lipids in hepatocytes, and histopathologic condition is more than 5% of the weight of liver. So, the purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between the physical activity level and the hepatic steatosis presence, metabolic syndrome and the risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus in men. We evaluated retrospectively medical records of 1399 men (40.7 ± 8.18 years old) who participated in the protocol of Preventive Health Check-up at Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein from January to October 2011. According to the results, it is concluded that there is a positive association between low physical activity level and the presence of Hepatic steatosis. The results further demonstrate that, despite the high BMI, blood levels of the subjects remained unchanged. Even without a positive association between these variables, the results showed a high risk behavior for the development of diabetes mellitus type 2.
