RESUMO

Objetive: Congenital heart diseases (CHD) can be found in pregnant women. Although cardiac interventions in the catheterization laboratory are considered safe and effective, it is preferable to wait 3-6 months after delivery to correct simple, uncomplicated CHD; however, this may result in follow-up losses. The objective is to present our experience in correcting CHD during the early puerperium (EP). Materials and methods: All cases of pregnant women with CHD, including atrial septal defect (ASD), patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), and aortic coarctation (CoA) between 2017-2023, who underwent percutaneous defect correction during the EP were collected. Results: Fifteen pregnant women were included, diagnosed with ASD (5), PDA (6), and CoA (4). Five patients (33.3%) were classified as WHO risk class IV; the procedure was successful in 80% of the cases, and only 1 patient presented complications. Conclusions: In our experience, the closure of uncomplicated congenital defects during the EP did not present major complications and could be a treatment strategy to prevent follow-up losses after delivery in pregnant women with CHD.

RESUMO

Objective: Several studies have demonstrated an association between frailty and worse outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS); however, there is a lack of evidence from Colombia. This study aims to evaluate the association between frailty and the risk of adverse outcomes in patients over 65 years old diagnosed with ACS. Materials and methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted, including patients over 65 years old who underwent coronary angiography due to an ACS diagnosis at a hospital in Medellín, Colombia. Frailty was assessed using the FRAIL scale. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality at 30 days. Secondary outcomes included length of hospital stay and a composite outcome of in-hospital or 30-day mortality, contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN), acute heart failure, cardiogenic shock, hemorrhagic complications, and vascular complications. Results: A total of 112 patients were included. Frail patients (n=35, 31.3%) were older, had a lower socioeconomic status, higher GRACE scores, and more severely compromised coronary vessels. A significant association was observed between frailty and 30-day mortality (relative risk [RR] 19.00, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 5.04-72.61; p<0.001), the composite outcome (RR 4.57, 95% CI: 2.56-8.34; p<0.001), and longer hospital stays (9 days vs. 5 days in the non-frail group). Conclusions: A considerable number of patients over 65 years old with ACS were frail. Frailty was associated with adverse in-hospital and 30-day outcomes.

RESUMO

Abstract Introduction: Pregnant women with mechanical prosthetic valves (MPVs) have a higher risk of complications. We set out to identify and describe the main complications of pregnant women with MPVs, whether these are preventable, and their impact on cardiovascular, obstetric and fetal outcomes. Materials and methods: An analytical, observational study of a prospective cohort at a cardiac-obstetric clinic. The registry began in January 2016 and continues to date. This study reports the main cardiovascular, fetal and obstetric outcomes in pregnant women with MVPs included in the registry up to November 2021. We evaluated maternal, cardiac, obstetric, neonatal and safety outcomes. Results: From January 1, 2016, to November 1, 2021, 22 patients with a mechanical prosthetic valve who underwent 22 pregnancies were included in the REMEC. The mean age was 26.5 years (IQR 14-40). The median CARPREG II was 6 points, 86% were classified as mWHO class III and 14% were in class IV; 72.7% (16) had inadequate anticoagulation on admission, 18.1% (4) were not on any anticoagulant on admission, 40.9% (9) used VKAs and 40.9% (9) were on low molecular weight heparin. There was a 100% survival rate during follow up; however, the rate of complications was high. We found only four women (18%) with no obstetric or neonatal primary or secondary cardiac outcome. Primary cardiac events occurred in 18.1% of the patients, secondary cardiac events in 13%, obstetric outcomes in three (13.6%) and neonatal events in 45.4% (10). Fifty-nine percent of the patients had late evaluations. We found mechanical valve thrombosis in 36.3%. Conclusions: In our experience, although all the pregnant women survived, the rate of complications was high, with a higher proportion of neonatal complications. We found a high percentage of late evaluation, inadequate anticoagulation and preventable events. (Acta Med Colomb 2022; 48. DOI:https://doi.org/10.36104/amc.2023.2720).


Resumen Introducción: La gestante intervenida con prótesis valvular mecánica (PVM) tiene un mayor riesgo de complicaciones. Nos propusimos identificar y describir las principales complicaciones que se presentan en la embarazada con PVM, el carácter prevenible o no de éstas y su impacto en desenlaces cardiovasculares, obstétricos y fetales. Material y métodos: Estudio observacional analítico de una cohorte prospectiva en una clínica cardio- obstétrica. El registro comenzó en enero de 2016. El presente estudio informa los principales desenlaces cardiovasculares, fetales y obstétricos en embarazadas con PVM incluidas desde el inicio del registro hasta noviembre de 2021. Evaluamos desenlaces maternos, cardiacos y obstétricos, neonatales y de seguridad. Resultados: Entre el 1°. de enero de 2016 y el 1°. de noviembre de 2021 se incluyeron en el REMEC 22 pacientes con prótesis valvular mecánica que se sometieron a 22 embarazos. La edad media fue de 26.5 años (RIQ 14 - 40). Una mediana de CARPREG II de seis puntos, 86% estaban clasificadas como OMSm clase III y 14% en clase IV; 72.7% (16) tenían anticoagulación inadecuada al ingreso, 18.1% (4) no recibían ninguna terapia anticoagulante al ingreso, 40.9% (9) usaban AVK y 40.9% (9) venían con esquema de heparina de bajo peso molecular. Hubo una tasa de supervivencia de 100% durante el seguimiento. Sin embargo, la tasa de complicaciones fue alta. Encontramos solo cuatro mujeres (18%) sin desenlace cardiaco primario o secundario, obstétrico o neonatal. Se presentaron eventos cardiacos primarios en 18.1% de los pacientes, eventos cardiacos secundarios en 13%, desenlaces obstétricos en tres (13.6%) y en 45.4% (10) se presentaron eventos neonatales. Valoraciones tardías en 59% de las pacientes. Observamos trombosis valvular mecánica en 36.3%. Conclusiones: En nuestra experiencia, a pesar de la supervivencia de todas las maternas, la tasa de complicaciones fue alta; con una mayor proporción de complicaciones neonatales. Encontramos un alto porcentaje de valoración tardía, anticoagulación inadecuada y de eventos prevenibles. (Acta Med Colomb 2022; 48. DOI:https://doi.org/10.36104/amc.2023.2720).

RESUMO

Introduction: patent foramen ovale (PFO) has been associated with systemic embolic events, and evidence in favor of its closure is increasing. Our objective is to describe the main clinical outcomes and complications of percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale. Materials and methods: patients who underwent percutaneous PFO closure from January 1, 2016, through September 1, 2021, were recorded retrospectively. Immediate outcomes (<72 hours), and early and late-onset clinical outcomes were evaluated. In-hospital and follow-up mortality were evaluated through medical chart reviews or telephone calls. Results: forty patients who underwent percutaneous PFO closure were included. There was a mean follow up of 2.3 years, the mean age was 43 ± 13.6 years, 7% were over 60 years old, 72.5% were women, 25% were hypertensive, 20% had diabetes, and 10% had a history of migraines. The mean RoPE score was 6, and 50% had a score greater than 7. Out of all the cases, three (7.5%) had serious adverse events and four had immediate complications. During follow-up, 2.5% had early-onset events consisting of atrial fibrillation and 2.5% had late-onset events due to CVA recurrence. There were no deaths from neurological causes and we reported a 100% survival. Discussion: From our experience, we highlight a low percentage of serious adverse events, and a low number of immediate, early and late-onset events, with a 100% survival, showing excellent results for percutaneous PFO closure.

RESUMO

Abstract Introduction: heart failure with reduced ejection fraction has a growing therapeutic arsenal. Thus, the indications for each therapy must be refined. Methods: a systematic review was performed following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines, to update the systematic search performed in the development of the "Clinical Practice Guidelines for Prevention, Diagnosis, Treatment and Rehabilitation" (CPG) of the Colombian Ministry of Health. Results: six new clinical trials were found which substantially modify the main recommendations of the CPG. Angiotensin receptor antagonists combined with neprilysin inhibitors (ARNI), sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, betablockers and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRA) are now the main core of treatment for patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Other therapeutic options should be considered after beginning and titrating the doses of these four medications. Discussion: given the robustness of the evaluating studies, the proposed practical scheme, as the central core with four fundamental therapeutic strategies, will improve the treatment of patients with heart failure and allow the stepwise inclusion of other alternatives, plotted as orbits, to impact on other individual outcomes.

RESUMO

Introducción: el acceso transradial ha surgido como una alternativa atractiva a la vía femoral para realizar coronariografías e intervenciones coronarias. Describimos nuestra experiencia, y comparamos el acceso radial con una cohorte de acceso femoral en un periodo de tiempo. Objetivo: identificar las complicaciones vasculares relacionadas con la coronariografía en pacientes de la unidad de dolor torácico de una institución de alta complejidad de la ciudad de Medellín. Materiales y métodos: estudio epidemiológico observacional, analítico, de una cohorte retrospectiva de pacientes mayores de 18 años que ingresaron a la unidad de dolor torácico del hospital Universitario San Vicente Fundación con diagnóstico de síndrome coronario agudo con y sin elevación del ST, y a los cuales se les realizó coronariografía por acceso radial y femoral. Resultados: se evaluaron 675 pacientes, de los cuales 59.6% (n=402) se les realizó acceso femoral y 40.4% (n=273) acceso radial con diferencias, en relación al sexo y aspectos personales como el tabaquismo y la enfermedad renal crónica. Respecto a las complicaciones según el tipo de acceso, se hallaron diferencias significativas en la presencia de hematoma femoral (OR= 5.6; IC 95%: 1.28; 24.63) y el espasmo radial (p<0.05). Conclusión: los accesos radial y femoral son seguros y efectivos, sin embargo la disminución significativa de las complicaciones vasculares puede ser una razón para preferir el acceso radial como técnica de elección en la mayoría de estos pacientes. (Acta Med Colomb 2015; 40: 209-217).


Introduction: the transradial access has emerged as an attractive alternative to the femoral access for coronary angiography and coronary interventions. We describe our experience, and compare the radial access with a cohort of femoral access in a time period. Objective: to identify vascular complications related to coronary angiography in patients of the chest pain unit of a high complexity institution of the city of Medellin. Materials and Methods: epidemiological, observational, analytical study of a retrospective cohort of patients over 18 years admitted to the chest pain unit of the University Hospital San Vicente Foundation with diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome with and without ST elevation in which coronary angiography by radial and femoral access was performed. Results: 675 patients were evaluated. 59.6% (n = 402) underwent femoral access, and 40.4% (n = 273) radial access with differences in relation to sex and personal aspects such as smoking and chronic kidney disease. Regarding complications according to the type of access, significant differences were found in regard to the presence of femoral hematoma (OR = 5.6; 95% CI: 1.28; 24.63) and radial artery spasm (p <0.05). Conclusion: the radial and femoral accesses are safe and effective; however, the significant decrease in vascular complications may be a reason to prefer the radial access as technique of choice in most of these patients.

RESUMO

Se presenta el caso clínico de una mujer de 26 años de edad, que acudió al Hospital Universitario San Vicente Fundación (Medellín) con síntomas y signos de falla cardíaca aguda y diagnóstico previo de falla cardíaca crónica con fracción de expulsión disminuida, de origen no claro, tromboembolismo pulmonar y ataque cerebrovascular isquémico, sin modulación neurohormonal óptima. Ingresó a la institución con hallazgos clínicos de sobrecarga hídrica y baja perfusión tisular, con requerimiento de soporte inotrópico y diuréticos parenterales; se logró estabilizarla e introducir progresivamente la terapia médica para la falla cardíaca. Para el estudio del origen de esta enfermedad, se hizo resonancia magnética de corazón, que demostró un área de realce tardío en el territorio de la arteria descendente anterior, sugestiva de necrosis, por lo que se le efectuó coronariografía, en la que no se hallaron lesiones en las arterias coronarias epicárdicas. Finalmente se logró la compensación de la falla cardíaca aguda y se decidió hacer anticoagulación crónica por la probable trombofilia de la paciente, en concordancia con los fenómenos trombóticos arteriales y venosos recurrentes.


We describe the clinical case of a 26 year-old woman who came to Hospital Universitario San Vicente Fundación (Medellín, Colombia) with symptoms and signs of acute heart failure. She had been previously diagnosed with chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction without clear origin, pulmonary thromboembolism and ischemic stroke, without optimal neurohormonal modulation. She was admitted with clinical findings of fluid overload and low tissue perfusion, with inotropic support requirement and parenteral diuretics; clinical stability was achieved with the progressive introduction of medical therapy for heart failure. For the study of the latter, heart MRI was done that showed a delayed enhancement area in the left anterior descending artery. Coronary angiography was carried out in which no significant lesions were found in the epicardial arteries. Finally, compensation of the acute heart failure was achieved, and chronic anticoagulation was started for probable thrombophilic disease, due to the recurring arterial and venous thrombotic events.

RESUMO

La hipertensión arterial secundaria se define como la elevación de las cifras de presión arterial atribuible a una causa externa, identificable, después de una evaluación exhaustiva en la mayoría de los casos. Su prevalencia esta relacionada con las características de la población estudiada, siendo en términos generales alrededor del 5-10%, y mayor en pacientes diagnosticados como refractarios (1). Dentro de las causas endocrinas las mas frecuentes son: el hiperaldosteronismo primario, la enfermedad tiroidea, el síndrome de Cushing y el feocromocitoma, sin mención especial a la relacionada con la acromegalia (2), probablemente por su baja prevalencia, a que se diagnóstica como hipertensión arterial esencial y en el largo plazo se reconoce la enfermedad endocrina. En el número actual de la revista (3) Rojas W., Lancheros A. y Tapiero M. presentan la descripción de las alteraciones ecocardiográficas de 26 pacientes con acromegalia seguidos en el servicio de endocrinología del Hospital de San José. La población descrita era predominantemente de sexo femenino, 61% mayor de 50 años, 50% asociada a hipertensión arterial y 92% tenía macroadenomas, con éxito importante en el manejo quirúrgico, lo que esta de acuerdo con las características reportadas en 1219 pacientes en el registro español (4), a pesar del sesgo de selección por incluir datos de un sólo centro.

RESUMO

Se presenta el caso de una mujer de 74 años de edad, con síndrome de falla cardíaca, antecedente de enfermedad coronaria con revascularización percutánea previa y flutter auricular con respuesta ventricular rápida sin adecuado control con betabloqueadores y antiarrítmicos; tenía dilatación progresiva del ventrículo izquierdo, deterioro de la función sistólica y de la fracción de eyección hasta 18%, luego del episodio de arritmia incesante. Se demostró en la angiografía coronaria estenosis moderada a grave de los stents previamente implantados en las arterias descendente anterior y circunfleja, por lo cual se implantaron stents medicados. Posteriormente se hizo cardioversión eléctrica exitosa y cuatro semanas después permanecía en ritmo sinusal con recuperación de la función ventricular, evidenciada por la normalización de la fracción de eyección del ventrículo izquierdo, lo que corroboró la presunción diagnóstica de taquicardiomiopatía.


We report the case of a 74 year-old woman with heart failure syndrome, history of coronary artery disease with percutaneous revascularization and atrial flutter with rapid ventricular response without adequate control with beta-blockers and antiarrhythmic therapy, dilated left ventricle with impaired systolic function and ejection fraction of 18%; she had stent restenosis in the left anterior descending and the circumflex arteries. Medicated stents were implanted. Successful electrical cardioversion was performed and four weeks later she remained in sinus rhythm; ventricular function was normalized with ejection fraction of 60%, which corroborated the presumptive diagnosis of tachycardiomyopathy.

RESUMO

El objetivo de este artículo es presentar recomendaciones para la utilización clínica de la prueba de esfuerzo cardiopulmonar en el síndrome de falla cardíaca con énfasis en la medicina basada en la evidencia mediante una búsqueda sistemática de la literatura. La prueba de esfuerzo cardiopulmonar es una herramienta útil en la evaluación y seguimiento de los pacientes con falla cardíaca, pero es poco utilizada en la práctica diaria del internista general y el cardiólogo clínico. Permite establecer diagnósticos diferenciales en pacientes con disnea de causa inexplicada, evaluar la tolerancia al ejercicio, la capacidad funcional y el pronóstico, seleccionar los pacientes para trasplante cardíaco, proporcionar parámetros para la prescripción del ejercicio y monitorizar la respuesta al entrenamiento en programas de rehabilitación.


The purpose of this document is to present recommendations for the clinical utilization of the cardiopulmonary exercise testing in patients with congestive heart failure with specialemphasis on the evidence-based medicine, by means of a systematic search of the literature. The cardiopulmonary exercise testing is a useful tool in the evaluation and follow-up of patients with heart failure, but it is infrequently used in the daily practiceof specialists in internal medicine and clinical cardiology. It allows differential diagnoses in patients with dyspnea of unexplained cause; to evaluate thetolerance to exercise, the functional capacity and prognosis; to select patients for heart transplantation; to provide parameters for the prescription of exercise, and to monitor the response to training in rehabilitation programs.

RESUMO

La falla cardiaca es un síndrome clínico heterogéneo que se desarrolla posterior a un "evento indice", el cual produce daño del tejido muscular cardiaco por la pérdida de cardiomiocitos o por la alteración de la capacidad del miocardio para generar una fuerza eficiente para la concentracción ventricular. La "noxa" inicial puede ser de aparición súbita como en el síndrome coronario agudo o insidioso y gradual como en la enfermedad coroanria crónica y las cardiomiopatias primarias y secundarias (1). Independiente del factor que genere el síndrome, se produce una serie de respuestas hemodinámicas y neurohormonales con cambios moleculares complejos, que conducen a la progresión de la disfunción ventricular y a mayor pérdida de células contráctiles funcionales pro necrosis o por apoptosis (2,3). Las estrategías terapéuticas desarrolladas para iterrumpir este círculo vicioso, de disfunción miocárdica y/o remodelación ventricular, cambian las condiciones en las cuales se produce el trabajo miocárdico, con la consecuente mejoría en la morbilidad en la curva de sobrevida (4). Sin embargo, esta aproximación terpéutica, conocida como la aproximación "Jurasica"(4), no logra recuperar el tejido lesionado durante el proceso, lo que permite la progresión de la enfermedad hasta llegar a la falla cardiaca terminal y la muerte. En el estudio CONCENSUS, en falla cardiaca severa, la mortalidad al año de los pacientes tratados con inhibidores de la enzima convertidora de angiotensina fue del 36 por ciento, en el estudio SOLVD fue del 35 por ciento a los cuatro años y en el estudio AIRE del 17 por ciento a los 15 meses, aunque todos demostraron mejoría en la sobrevida en el grupo intervenido en comparación al grupo control(5). Por esta razon el pronóstico de la falla cardiaca se ha comparado con las neoplasias mas frecuentes, demostrando mayor mortalidad que el cáncer de mama y ovario en mujeres, de próstata en hombre y colorectal en la población total, sólo superado por el cancer pulmonar (6)
