Dr. Uelra Rita Lourenço Highlights the Prevention and Control of Cardiac Arrhythmias

oglobo14 September 2026 at 15:39

The cardiologist Dr. Uelra Rita Lourenço highlights the importance of prevention and control of cardiac arrhythmias, emphasizing that caring for heart health does not mean waiting for the first signs of a disease to appear. According to her, prevention should be integrated into medical follow-up throughout life, being even more relevant when there are risk factors or family history of cardiovascular diseases.

Graduated in Medicine from the Federal University of Uberlândia (UFU) in 1996, the doctor built her professional trajectory at important Brazilian institutions. She completed her residency in Internal Medicine at Santa Casa de São Paulo between 1997 and 1998, followed by residency and specialization in Cardiology at the Instituto Dante Pazzanese de Cardiologia between 1999 and 2000.

To further her training, Dr. Uelra Rita Lourenço specialized in Cardiac Arrhythmias and Artificial Cardiac Stimulation at the Heart Institute (InCor) of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of São Paulo (FMUSP), between 2001 and 2002. The professional is a specialist in Cardiology by the Brazilian Society of Cardiology (SBC) and holds a Doctorate in Medicine.

Why this matters

The population of Uberlândia and the surrounding region directly benefits from local expertise in cardiology, as well-trained cardiologists can offer prevention and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, a disease that affects millions of Brazilians and can lead to serious complications such as stroke and heart failure. The emphasis on prevention encourages residents to seek regular medical follow-up.
