RESUMO
Fundamento: A miocardite aguda é uma das principais causas de morte súbita em pacientes jovens. A ressonância magnética cardíaca (RMC) é um método sensível e não invasivo para detecção de miocardite, mas de alto custo e indisponível na maioria dos centros médicos. O strain bidimensional representa uma nova técnica ecocardiográfica que possibilita a avaliação da deformação miocárdica permitindo a análise da função miocárdica global e regional. Objetivo: Avaliar o valor do strain bidimensional em pacientes com diagnóstico de miocardite. Materiais e métodos: Foram estudados prospectivamente pacientes com quadro de miocardite aguda e contratilidade cardíaca normal pela RMC e submetidos à ecocardiografia convencional e strain bidimensional. O miocárdio ventricular foi dividido em 16 segmentos e esses segmentos divididos em dois grupos. Grupo 0: segmento miocárdico normal pela RMC. Grupo 1: segmento miocárdico compatível com miocardite pela RMC. Resultados: Foram avaliados 28 pacientes sendo 82,1% do sexo masculino, com idade de 35,6 ± 8,9 anos. Dos 448 segmentos miocárdicos avaliados, 316 segmentos foram normais (grupo 0) e 132 segmentos (grupo 1) apresentaram diagnóstico de miocardite pela técnica de realce tardio à RMC. A análise do strain bidimensional mostrou diferença significativa entre os grupos (19,6 ± 2,9 versus 15,4 ± 2,8 p = 0,001), com sensibilidade 75% e especificidade 79% e AUC de 0,86 (IC 95% 0,82 a 0,89). Conclusão: O strain bidimensional pode ser útil na avaliação propedêutica de pacientes com miocardite e contratilidade normal pela RMC e ecocardiografia convencional
Background: Acute myocarditis is one of the most important causes of sudden death in young people. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is a sensitive and non-invasive method in myocarditis diagnosis, but it is expensive and unavailable in most medical centers. Speckle tracking strain echocardiography is a new echocardiographic technique that enables the evaluation of myocardial deformation allowing analysis of global and regional myocardial function. Objective: To evaluate the value of speckle tracking strain echocardiography in patients with acute myocarditis and normal wall motion contraction. Materials and Methods: We prospectively studied patients with acute myocarditis and normal cardiac contractility by CMR and underwent conventional echocardiography and speckle tracking strain echocardiography. The ventricular myocardium was divided into 16 segments by CMR and echocardiography and separated into two groups: Normal myocardial segment (group 1) myocardial segment compatible with myocarditis (group 1). Results: We evaluated 28 patients (82.1% male), aged 35.6 ± 8.9 years. Of the 448 myocardial segments evaluated, 316 segments were normal (group 0) and 132 segments (group 1) were diagnosed with myocarditis by RMC. Speckle tracking strain echocardiography showed a significant difference between groups (-19.6 ± 2.9 versus -15.4 ± 2.8 p = 0.001), with sensitivity of 75% and specificity of 79% with AUC of 0.86 (95% CI 0.82 to 0.89). Conclusion: Speckle tracking strain echocardiography can be useful in the diagnosis evaluation of patients with myocarditis and normal contractility by CMR and conventional echocardiography

RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar o perfil clínico de pacientes com parada cardiorrespiratória intra-hospitalar, seu atendimento e evolução, com registro baseado no estilo Utstein. Métodos: Estudo observacional, prospectivo e longitudinal em ambiente de terapia intensiva de pacientes com parada cardiorrespiratória incluídos durante 1 ano. Resultados: Foram 89 pacientes, com média de idade de 59,0 anos, 51,6% homens, submetidos às manobras de ressuscitação cardiopulmonar. Os episódios ocorreram no período diurno em 64,6% dos casos. A assistolia/bradiarritmia foi o ritmo inicial mais frequente (42,7%). A maior parte dos que apresentaram retorno à circulação espontânea evoluiu com parada cardiorrespiratória recorrente, principalmente nas primeiras 24 horas (61,4%). As médias dos tempos foram de 10,3 dias entre a internação e ocorrência de parada cardiorrespiratória; 0,68 minutos entre a parada cardiorrespiratória e ressuscitação cardiopulmonar; 7,1 minutos entre a parada cardiorrespiratória e a desfibrilação; 16,3 minutos de duração da ressuscitação cardiopulmonar. Houve associação entre sexo e duração da ressuscitação cardiopulmonar (19,2 minutos nas mulheres versus 13,5 minutos nos homens; p = 0,02), duração da ressuscitação cardiopulmonar e retorno à circulação espontânea (10,8 minutos versus 30,7 minutos; p < 0,001), entre cardiopatia e a idade (60,6 anos versus 53,6; p < 0,001). A sobrevida imediata após a parada cardiorrespiratória foi de 71% e, até a alta hospitalar e no sexto mês após a alta, de 9% e de 6%, respectivamente. Conclusão: O principal ritmo inicial detectado foi a assistolia/bradiarritmia com curto intervalo entre a parada cardiorrespiratória e a reanimação, porém com desfibrilação tardia. Mulheres apresentaram maior tempo de reanimação. Houve baixa taxa de sobrevida hospitalar.
ABSTRACT Objective: The objective of this study was to analyze the clinical profile of patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest using the Utstein style. Methods: This study is an observational, prospective, longitudinal study of patients with cardiac arrest treated in intensive care units over a period of 1 year. Results: The study included 89 patients who underwent cardiopulmonary resuscitation maneuvers. The cohort was 51.6% male with a mean age 59.0 years. The episodes occurred during the daytime in 64.6% of cases. Asystole/bradyarrhythmia was the most frequent initial rhythm (42.7%). Most patients who exhibited a spontaneous return of circulation experienced recurrent cardiac arrest, especially within the first 24 hours (61.4%). The mean time elapsed between hospital admission and the occurrence of cardiac arrest was 10.3 days, the mean time between cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation was 0.68 min, the mean time between cardiac arrest and defibrillation was 7.1 min, and the mean duration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation was 16.3 min. Associations between gender and the duration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (19.2 min in women versus 13.5 min in men, p = 0.02), the duration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the return of spontaneous circulation (10.8 min versus 30.7 min, p < 0.001) and heart disease and age (60.6 years versus 53.6, p < 0.001) were identified. The immediate survival rates after cardiac arrest, until hospital discharge and 6 months after discharge were 71%, 9% and 6%, respectively. Conclusions: The main initial rhythm detected was asystole/bradyarrhythmia; the interval between cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation was short, but defibrillation was delayed. Women received cardiopulmonary resuscitation for longer periods than men. The in-hospital survival rate was low.
