III SBC Guidelines on the Analysis and Issuance of Electrocardiographic Reports - Executive Summary

Abstract

The third version of the guidelines covers recently described topics, such as ion channel diseases, acute ischemic changes, the electrocardiogram in athletes, and analysis of ventricular repolarization. It sought to revise the criteria for overloads, conduction disorders, and analysis of data for internet transmission.

Transient left septal fascicular block and left anterior fascicular block as a consequence of proximal subocclusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery

“…ECG2 presents all the electrocardiographic criteria for LSFB, repeatedly mentioned in the literature (Pérez‐Riera & Baranchuk, ; Perez‐Riera, Barbosa‐Barros, Penachini da Costa de Rezende Barbosa, Daminello‐Raimundo, & de Abreu, ), and ratified by the III SBC (Sociedade Brasileira de Cardiologia) Guidelines on the Analysis and Issuance of Electrocardiographic Reports—Executive Summary by Pastore et al. (Pastore, Samesima, & Pereira‐Filho, ). The transitory nature of the electrocardiographic changes rules out the possibility of any other possible cause for prominent anterior forces such as normal variant, athlete's heart, erroneous placement of precordial leads, vectorcardiographic right ventricular hypertrophy types A and B, lateral infarction (previously named posterior infarction), right bundle branch block, ventricular preexcitation type A, obstructive and nonobstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, Duchenne‐Erb disease, endomyocardiofibrosis, or the combination of any of the above (Pérez‐Riera, Barbosa‐Barros, & Baranchuk, ).…”

Impact of the social context on the prognosis of Chagas disease patients: Multilevel analysis of a Brazilian cohort

“…The third subgroup was perceived/evaluated needs: self-reported diabetes diagnosis (no, yes); self-reported hypertension diagnosis (no, yes); self-reported CD diagnostic time (up to ten years, over ten years); use of benznidazole (BZN) sometime in life (yes, no); and functional class (no limitations—class I, with limitations—class II, III, and IV) [ 20 ]. The QRS complex duration (up to 119 ms, longer than or equal to 120 ms) [ 21 ] and NT-proBNP categorized by age [ 22 ] (normal, abnormal) were obtained from ECG examination and blood samples, respectively. The assessment of self-rated health was based on the question: “How would you rate your health today?” and a Likert scale was adopted with the response options and then dichotomized as positive (good, very good, and medium) vs .…”

Dispositivo com Interface Vestível para a Aquisição, Processamento e Transmissão do Sinal Cardíaco em Exame de Eletrocardiograma

“…A Sociedade Brasileira de Cardiologia confere somente ao médico o poder de interpretação e inferência clínica das circunstâncias cardiológicas do paciente. Em caso de suporte clínico, o enfermeiro se faz relevante em situações emergenciais que demandam a necessidade de rápidas intervenções e tomadas de decisões [Pastore et al 2016]. Para tanto,é necessário que ambos os profissionais executem e entendam os procedimentos do exame de forma coesa ao que são descritos nas literaturas, diretrizes, regulamentações e normas hospitalares.…”
