2020 Top 10 Original Articles in the Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia and the Revista Portuguesa de Cardiologia

Ricardo Fontes-Carvalho et al. Gláucia Maria Moraes de Oliveira Nuno Cardim Carlos Eduardo Rochitte

Introduction

In recent years, the Revista Portuguesa de Cardiologia (RPC) and the Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia (ABC Cardiol) have gotten together annually to elaborate a list of the most relevant papers published in both journals, , highlighting some of the best scientific articles in Portuguese.

Based on the success of that initiative, the editors of both journals have decided to cooperate once again to elaborate the ‘Top 10’ list of 2020 of each journal. The year 2020 was marked by the huge impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in both countries, with an enormous pressure on the healthcare institutions and professionals. Despite those challenges, the scientific quality of the publications in both journals remained extremely high, with excellent original articles.

Genetic factors in familial aggregation of blood pressure of portuguese nuclear families

Rogério César Fermino et al. André Seabra Rui Garganta José António Ribeiro Maia

BACKGROUND: Despite of the increase in the prevalence of hypertension in Portugal, the importance of genetic factors in blood pressure (BP) has not been studied extensively in our country. OBJECTIVES: To verify the indirect presence of vertical transmission of genetic factors between parents and children in BP values, and to estimate the magnitude of genetic factors contributing for variation in BP values in the population. METHODS: Sample size comprises 367 individuals (164 parents and 203 children) pertaining the 107 nuclear families participating in “Familias Activas” project, proceeding from different regions of North Portugal. The BP was measured with Omron® model M6 (HEM-7001-E) digital device. SPSS 15.0 was used for data analysis; PEDSTATS was used to verify the structure of each family data. Familial correlations and heritability estimates were computed in FCOR and ASSOC modules of S.A.G.E. version 5.3. RESULTS: For systolic BP (SBP), correlation values were low to moderate (0,21< r <0,35); for diastolic BP (DBP) values were found to be moderate (0,24< r <0,50). Genetic factors explain 43 and 49% of the total variation in SBP and DBP, respectively. CONCLUSION: A moderate amount of the SBP and the DBP is accounted for by genetic factors.
