Objetivos
Os principais objetivos deste trabalho foram:
1) Rever as características da IC: epidemiologia, conceito, classificação, etiologia, fisiopatologia, diagnóstico e tratamento;
2) Demonstrar a importância da Ecocardiografia na IC: (a) no diagnóstico, (b) no acompanhamento e (c) na seleção da opção terapêutica.
Como objetivo secundário:
Reunir toda a informação com vista à produção de um manual de apoio às aulas.
Metodologia
Os estudos que serviram de base a este trabalho foram pesquisados a partir das palavras-chave “echocardiography”, “heart failure”, “diagnosis”, “treatment” utilizando as bases de dados PubMed, Scopus e ISI Web of Science.
A pesquisa foi limitada a artigos publicados em português, inglês e espanhol, sem restrição por tipo de artigo ou ano de publicação.
Ao longo da realização deste trabalho, foram sendo recolhidas referências de outros artigos citados nos estudos inicialmente selecionados, expandindo assim a bibliografia.
Para conhecer a situação particular de Portugal, foram pesquisados estudos realizados com a população portuguesa.
Foi dada particular atenção às várias recomendações existentes quer para a “Insuficiência Cardíaca” quer para a “Utilidade da Ecocardiografia”, disponíveis gratuitamente online, pois estas desempenham um papel fundamental quer na prática clínica, quer na investigação (estudos epidemiológicos, estudos obrigacionais e ensaios clínicos).
Objectives The main objectives of this work were: 1) to review the characteristics of IC: epidemiology, concept, classification, etiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment 2) to demonstrate the importance of echocardiography in IC: (a) the diagnosis, (b) monitoring and (c) in selecting therapy. As a secondary goal: to gather all the information for the production of a manual for studies classes. Methodology The studies that formed the basis for this work were surveyed from the keywords "echocardiography", "heart failure", “diagnosis" and “treatment" using the databases PubMed, Scopus and ISI Web of Science. The search was limited to articles published in Portuguese, English and Spanish, without restriction by article type or year of publication. Throughout this study, were being collected references from other articles cited in the studies initially selected, thus expanding the bibliography. To learn about the particular situation of Portugal, studies of the Portuguese population were surveyed. Particular attention was given to existing recommendations both for the "heart failure" or the "usefulness of echocardiography", available for free online, because they play a key role both in clinical practice and research (epidemiological studies, mandatory studies and clinical trials).
