RESUMO
Secondary prophylaxis of rheumatic heart diseases is efficient in reducing disease recurrence, heart damage, and cardiac impairment. We aimed to monitor the clinical evolution of a large Brazilian cohort of rheumatic patients under prolonged secondary prophylaxis. From 1986 to 2018, a cohort of 593 patients with rheumatic fever was followed every 6 months by the Reference Center for the Control and Prevention of Rheumatic Fever and Rheumatic Cardiopathy (CPCFR), Paraná, Brazil. In this cohort, 243 (41%) patients did not present cardiac damage (group I), while 350 (59%) were diagnosed with rheumatic heart disease (RHD) (group II) using the latest case definition. Among group II, 233 and 15 patients had impairment of the mitral and aortic valves, respectively, while 102 patients had impairment of both valves. Lesions on the mitral and aortic valves presented a regression in 69.9 and 48.7% of the patients, respectively. Active patient recruitment in the reference center and early detection of oropharyngeal GAS were important factors for optimal adherence to the prophylactic treatment. Patients with disease progression were associated with noncompliance to secondary prophylaxis. No patients undergoing regular prophylaxis presented progression of the rheumatic cardiac disease. Eighteen valvular surgeries were performed, and four (0.7%) patients died. This study confirmed that tailored and active efforts invested in rheumatic heart disease secondary prevention allowed for significant clinical improvement.
RESUMO
Introdução: Apesar do advento dos stents farmacológicos (SF), diabéticos ainda experimentam risco aumentado de eventos cerebrovasculares e cardiovasculares maiores (ECCAM) após intervenção coronária percutânea (ICP). Nosso objetivo foi avaliar a incidência de ECCAM (óbito, acidente vascular cerebral, infarto agudo do miocárdio não fatal ou revascularização da lesão alvo) no seguimento de pelo menos 1 ano, além da capacidade de os escores SYNTAX e SYNTAX residual predizerem eventos. Métodos: Estudo unicêntrico, retrospectivo, de diabéticos com doença coronariana multiarterial, incluindo lesões de tronco de coronária esquerda (TCE), tratados com SF entre 2012 a 2014. Resultados: Foram incluídos 158 pacientes, com média de idades de 65,1 ± 9,1 anos. Em 44,2% dos casos, havia lesão proximal da artéria descendente anterior e 9% apresentavam lesão de TCE. A maioria dos procedimentos foi realizada com SF de segunda geração (91,1%). A média de seguimento foi de 1.054 ± 725 dias, e o ECCAM ocorreu em 17,4% dos pacientes. Entre aqueles com escore SYNTAX baixo (< 23), 10,2% apresentaram ECCAM, enquanto que entre os que foram categorizados como com SYNTAX moderado/alto (≥ 23), a incidência foi de 33,3% (p = 0,003). Dos pacientes com escore SYNTAX residual zero (revascularização completa), 7,5% evoluíram com ECCAM, comparados com 22,0% com revascularização incompleta (p = 0,01). Conclusões: O presente estudo aponta para a factibilidade e a segurança da realização de ICP em diabéticos multiarteriais, especialmente entre aqueles com baixa complexidade angiográfica. A revascularização incompleta foi preditora da maior ocorrência de ECCAM no seguimento de médio/longo prazo
Background: Despite the advent of drug-eluting stents (DES), diabetic patients still have increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular (MACCE) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Our aim was to evaluate the incidence of MACCE (death, stroke, non-fatal acute myocardial infarction, or target-lesion revascularization) during a follow-up of at least 1 year, in addition to the ability of the SYNTAX and residual SYNTAX scores to predict events. Methods: Single-center, retrospective study of diabetic patients with multivessel coronary disease, including left main coronary artery (LMCA) lesions treated with DES between 2012 and 2014. Results: A total of 158 patients were included, with a mean age of 65.1 ± 9.1 years. In 44.2% of the cases, there was a proximal lesion in the left anterior descending artery and 9% had a lesion in the LMCA. Most procedures were performed with second-generation DES (91.1%). Mean follow-up was 1,054 ± 725 days, and MACCE occurred in 17.4% of the patients. Among those with a low SYNTAX score (< 23), 10.2% had MACCE, while among those classified as having a moderate/high SYNTAX score (≥ 23), the incidence was 33.3% (p = 0.003). Of the patients with zero residual SYNTAX score (complete revascularization), 7.5% progressed with MACCE, compared with 22.0% with incomplete revascularization (p = 0.01). Conclusions: The present study points to the feasibility and safety of performing PCI in multivessel diabetic patients, especially among those with low angiographic complexity. Incomplete revascularization was a predictor of a higher occurrence of MACCE in the medium/long-term follow-up
