Effectiveness of an early mobilization program on functional capacity after coronary artery bypass surgery: A randomized controlled trial protocol.

Background: Muscle atrophy and prolonged inactivity are associated with an increased sensation of fatigue and reduced functional capacity in the postoperative period in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. Cardiac rehabilitation after hospital discharge is highly recommended and contributes to improvement in functional capacity and quality of life. However, few studies have evaluated the effectiveness of early mobilization protocols during hospitalization on the patterns of physical activity and functional capacity after coronary artery bypass grafting.

Use of evidence-based interventions in acute coronary syndrome - Subanalysis of the ACCEPT registry.

Background: The recommendations in guidelines are based on evidence; however, there is a gap between recommendations and clinical practice.

Objective: To describe the practice of prescribing evidence-based treatments for patients with acute coronary syndrome in Brazil.

Methods: This study carried out a subanalysis of the ACCEPT registry, assessing epidemiological data and the prescription rate of acetylsalicylic acid, p2y12 inhibitors, antithrombotic drugs, beta-blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin-receptor blockers (IAT1RB), and statins.

Acute coronary syndrome behavior: results of a Brazilian registry.

Background: Brazil lacks published multicenter registries of acute coronary syndrome.

Objective: The Brazilian Registry of Acute Coronary Syndrome is a multicenter national study aiming at providing data on clinical aspects, management and hospital outcomes of acute coronary syndrome in our country.

Methods: A total of 23 hospitals from 14 cities, participated in this study.

Clinical outcomes at 30 days in the Brazilian Registry of Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACCEPT).

Background: There are few registries documenting clinical practice in Brazilian patients with acute coronary syndrome.

Objectives: Demography description, occurrence of major clinical adverse events and comparative analysis in patients submitted or not to an invasive strategy (coronary angiography and myocardial revascularization) in a Brazilian multicenter registry of acute coronary syndrome.

Methods: The ACCEPT/SBC registry prospectively collected data on acute coronary syndrome patients from 47 Brazilian hospitals.
