A ressonância magnética cardíaca (RMC) é uma técnica sem radiação, considerada padrão para avaliação da anatomia, função e até composição do tecido cardíaco. O estudo RESILIENCE usará a RMC como a principal metodologia para medir os resultados da intervenção e os doentes inscritos no estudo serão submetidos a três exames ao longo da duração do estudo.
Ensaio clínico multinacional, prospectivo, de prova de conceito, de fase II com dupla ocultação, controlado com simulação, aleatorizado (RCT) para avaliar a eficácia e segurança do Condicionamento Isquémico Remoto (RIC) em doentes com linfoma não Hodgkin (LNH) que são tratados com antraciclinas. Os doentes programados para receberem pelo menos 5 ciclos de quimioterapia com antraciclinas são elegíveis para participar no estudo.
This article is authored by 2 PIs of RESILIENCE (María Gomes-Silva from IPO Lisbon & Borja Ibanez from CNIC Spain). This editorial summarizes the results of the 2 first trials testing remote ischemic conditioning in the context of anthracycline cardiotoxicity. In this article, the 2 trials are described and their
The Hatter Cardiovascular Institute biennial workshop, originally scheduled for April 2020 but postponed for 2 years due to the Covid pandemic, was organised to debate and discuss the future of Remote Ischaemic Conditioning (RIC). This evolved from the large multicentre CONDI-2–ERIC–PPCI outcome study which demonstrated no additional benefit when using
There is a strong need to identify (bio)markers that can detect early stages of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (AIC). In this editorial, 2 RESILIENCE researchers present the current state of the art of the field. They discuss data from al original paper published in the same issue of the journal by Bonny
By using a highly translatable large-animal model, this work shows that cumulative exposure to anthracycline results in an irreversible damage to the heart microcirculation. The microcirculation injury is observed even before overt left ventricular cardiac systolic dysfunction (surrogate for overt cardiotoxicity) is present. Cardiac microcirculation damage is associated with poor
Editorial article highlighting the strong potential of remote ischemic conditioning to prevent anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity. This intervention will be tested within RESILIENCE project.
Serial cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) evaluation of a highly translatable large-animal (pig) model of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (AIC) shows that cumulative exposure to anthracyclines results in significantly reduced left ventricular ejection fraction and extensive mitochondrial fragmentation. Remote Ischemic Conditioning applied before each anthracycline cycle preserved cardiac contractility and left ventricular ejection
