No Heart Failure Congress 2026, que decorre entre 9 e 12 de maio, em Barcelona, o Prof. Rui Baptista apresentou dados do estudo PORTHOS sobre obesidade e peptídeos natriuréticos.
Os resultados demonstraram que a obesidade pode causar níveis de peptídeos natriuréticos falsamente reduzidos, biomarcadores fundamentais no diagnóstico da insuficiência cardíaca.
⚠️Esta alteração pode contribuir para o subdiagnóstico da doença, reforçando a importância de continuar a investigar e adaptar estratégias de diagnóstico à realidade dos doentes com obesidade.

Last scientific session of #CPC2026 dedicated to the procedure that was the true revolution in Cardiology in the last decades: TAVI. Amazing talks by Pedro Carrilho Ferreira, Daniel Seabra and Sergio Madeira.

Prof @JoseJuanatey reminding us about the critical role of general medicine doctors in the follow-up of Cardiology patients. Dynamic integration between primary and hospital care is the safer and most cost effective approach

In the era of cardiac myosin inhibitors, accurate LVOTO quantification is crucial. At rest (including in upright position) and with exercise!

SCD in the “normal” heart by Ana Lebreiro during #CPC2026!
➡️ "Structurally normal" is a dynamic diagnosis
➡️ Risk stratification remains limited in the clinical grey zone.
➡️ Substrate modification is increasingly outpacing our ability to predict risk

And to all amazing brilliant women cardiologists and friends that inspire me everyday @alexandra_gonca @JGrapsa @denisamuraru @VictoriaDe32503 @eromerodorta @DrGEMandoli @MSBBrandao
Finding the perfect equilibrium between bleeding and ischemia after ACS is a real challenging for all cardiologists. This is even more true in women. At #CPC2026 Prof @Drroxmehran shared her value inputs on this topic. Amazing talk!

Strenghts and limitations of diastolic function guidelines enough in HFpEF. Exercise #echofirst is a very valuable and underused tool! Here are some tips by Joana Moura Ferreira.

A fitting tribute today at the Portuguese Congress of Cardiology to Eugene Braunwald (1929–2026). A giant who reshaped modern cardiology and inspired generations—including mine. His legacy will continue to guide us. #Cpcinmotion #Braunwald

The potential of 3D TEE in valvular disease grows everyday. It is actually the case to say it makes percutaneous valvular intervention possible! Thank you for the great example images and clips Prof. João Abecasis!
