Introduction Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is a disease with a difficult diagnosis, limited management and a reserved prognosis., A high level of suspicion is necessary for its identification. There are some clinical clues, such as elderly individuals with unexplained left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and restrictive pattern, dissociation between LVH on echocardiography and low voltage on the electrocardiogram, among others., CA can occur with several hemodynamic forms and patterns of remodeling, according to the disease […]

Abstract In the pathophysiology of heart failure (HF), attention has been directed to sympathetic hyperactivity and low-intensity systemic inflammation, aspects also present in erectile dysfunction (ED). Physical exercise is a strategy that improves these parameters, which makes plausible the hypothesis that, when practiced through dance, exercise would provide better results. By combining physical activity and music, dance would be able to improve the functioning of central and peripheral neural networks additionally to other favorable mechanisms, contributing to the restoration of […]
