RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction indicated by elevated pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (ePCWP) may worsen cardiorespiratory status in bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), but the scope of ePCWP by cardiac catheterization is not well described. METHODS: This single-center retrospective cohort study included infants with BPD without congenital heart disease, significant intracardiac shunts, or pulmonary vein stenosis who underwent cardiac catheterization from 2010 to 2021. ePCWP was defined as >10 mmHg. Quantitative measures of ventricular systolic and diastolic function were performed on existing echocardiograms. Patients with and without ePCWP were compared using the Chi-squared or Wilcoxon rank-sum tests. Associations between catheterization hemodynamics and echocardiographic parameters were assessed by simple linear regression. RESULTS: Seventy-one infants (93% Grade 2 or 3 BPD) met inclusion criteria, and 30 (42%) had ePCWP. Patients with ePCWP were older at catheterization (6.7 vs. 4.5 months, p < 0.001), more commonly underwent tracheostomy (66.7% vs. 29.3%, p = 0.003), and had higher mean systemic blood pressure [64.5 (56.0, 75.0) vs. 47.0 (43.0, 55.0) mm Hg, p < 0.001], higher systemic vascular resistance [11.9 (10.4, 15.6) vs. 8.7 (6.7, 11.2) WU*m2, p < 0.001), and lower cardiac index [3.9 (3.8, 4.9) vs. 4.7 (4.0, 6.3) L/min/m2, p = 0.03] at catheterization. Mean pulmonary artery pressure, pulmonary vascular resistance, and mortality were similar between the groups. Echocardiographic indices of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction did not correlate with PCWP. CONCLUSIONS: ePCWP was common in infants with severe BPD who underwent cardiac catheterization in this cohort. The association between ePCWP and higher systemic blood pressure supports further study of afterload reduction in this population.

RESUMO

Aortic valve stenosis is a congenital heart defect that causes a fixed left ventricular outflow obstruction with a progressive course. Symptomatology in neonates and young infants resembles congestive heart failure. In addition, the diagnosis of this condition is made by imaging, through echocardiography. On the other hand, treatment can be surgical or interventional under fluoroscopic guidance, depending on the hospital in which it is performed. We describe the case of a minor infant patient who presented severe aortic valve stenosis; however, the fluoroscopy equipment was not available at the time of the emergency to perform the appropriate procedure, therefore, an aortic valvuloplasty was performed under echocardiographic guidance without complications.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Maldistribution of pulmonary blood flow in patients with congenital heart disease impacts exertional performance and pulmonary artery growth. Currently, measurement of relative pulmonary perfusion can only be performed outside the catheterization laboratory. We sought to develop a tool for measuring relative lung perfusion using readily available fluoroscopy sequences. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on patients with conotruncal anomalies who underwent lung perfusion scans and subsequent cardiac catheterizations between 2011 and 2022. Inclusion criteria were nonselective angiogram of pulmonary vasculature, oblique angulation ≤20°, and an adequate view of both lung fields. A method was developed and implemented in 3D Slicer's SlicerHeart extension to calculate the amount of contrast that entered each lung field from the start of contrast injection and until the onset of levophase. The predicted perfusion distribution was compared with the measured distribution of pulmonary blood flow and evaluated for correlation, accuracy, and bias. RESULTS: In total, 32% (79/249) of screened studies met the inclusion criteria. A strong correlation between the predicted flow split and the measured flow split was found (R2=0.83; P<0.001). The median absolute error was 6%, and 72% of predictions were within 10% of the true value. Bias was not systematically worse at either extreme of the flow distribution. The prediction was found to be more accurate for either smaller and younger patients (age 0-2 years), for right ventricle injections, or when less cranial angulations were used (≤20°). In these cases (n=40), the prediction achieved R2=0.87, median absolute error of 5.5%, and 78% of predictions were within 10% of the true flow. CONCLUSIONS: The current study demonstrates the feasibility of a novel method for measuring relative lung perfusion using conventional angiograms. Real-time measurement of lung perfusion at the catheterization laboratory has the potential to reduce unnecessary testing, associated costs, and radiation exposure. Further optimization and validation is warranted.

RESUMO

Background: In the emergency room, the shock index was applied to determine the prognosis in various pathologies, such as acute infarction. The shock index is the re-sult of dividing heart rate by the systolic blood pressure. Objective: To determine the relationship between the systolic shock index and the di-astolic shock index as prognostic factors for mortality in acute myocardial infarction with ST segment elevation prior to admission to the Hemodynamics Room. Material and methods: A prolective analytical cross-sectional study was carried out in patients who were admitted to the Hemodynamics Room for cardiac catheterization within a period of 5 months in 2022. The systolic shock index and diastolic shock index were included as independent variables and mortality was the dependent variable. SPSS, version 25, was used and Pearson's chi-square test was used as statistical test, with a p value < 0.05 being significant. Results: 162 patients were analyzed and showed a diastolic shock index > 1.2143 with a sensitivity of 62.5% and a specificity of 77.4% with a p < 0.05. Their systolic shock in-dex was > 0.8908 with a sensitivity of 45.8% and specificity of 91.2%, with a p < 0.05. Conclusion: It was determined that both shock indices are related as mortality prognos-tic factors in acute myocardial infarction with ST elevation prior to admission to the He-modynamic Room.

Introducción: en el Servicio de Urgencias, se implementó el índice de choque para determinar el pronóstico de forma rápida en diversas patologías, como en el infarto agudo al miocardio. El índice de choque es el resultado de dividir la frecuencia cardia-ca entre la presión arterial. Objetivo: determinar la relación entre el índice de choque sistólico y el índice de choque diastólico como factores pronósticos de mortalidad en el infarto agudo al mio-cardio con elevación del segmento ST previo al ingreso al Área de Hemodinamia. Material y métodos: estudio transversal analítico prolectivo en pacientes que ingresa-ron al Área de Hemodinamia para cateterismo cardiaco en un plazo de cinco meses en el 2022. Tuvo como variables independientes el índice de choque sistólico y el índice de choque diastólico y como variable dependiente la mortalidad. Se utilizó el paquete estadístico SPSS, versión 25, y como prueba estadística la prueba chi cuadrada de Pearson, con una p < 0.05 como estadísticamente significativa. Resultados: se analizaron 162 pacientes que tuvieron un índice de choque diastólico > 1.2143, con una sensibilidad de 62.5% y una especificidad de 77.4%, con una p < 0.05. Y presentaron un índice de choque sistólico > 0.8908, con una sensibilidad de 45.8% y una especificidad de 91.2%, con una p < 0.05. Conclusión: se determinó que ambos índices de choque tienen relación como factores pronósticos de mortalidad en el infarto agudo al miocardio con elevación del segmento ST antes de su ingreso al Área de Hemodinamia.

RESUMO

The goal of the present study was to propose the first local diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) for interventional pediatric cardiology procedures in a large hospital in Colombia. The data collection period was from April 2020 to July 2022. The local DRLs were calculated as the 3rd quartile of patient-dose distributions for the kerma-area product (Pka) values. The sample of collected clinical procedures (255) was divided into diagnostic and therapeutic procedures and grouped into five weight and five age bands. The Pka differences found between diagnostic and therapeutic procedures were statistically significant in all weight and age bands, except for the 1-5-year age group. The local DRLs for weight bands were 3.82 Gy·cm2 (<5 kg), 7.39 Gy·cm2 (5-<15 kg), 19.72 Gy·cm2 (15-<30 kg), 28.99 Gy·cm2 (30-<50 kg), and 81.71 Gy·cm2 (50-<80 kg), respectively. For age bands, the DRLs were 3.97 Gy·cm2 (<1 y), 9.94 Gy·cm2 (1-<5 y), 20.82 Gy·cm2 (5-<10 y), 58.00 Gy·cm2 (10-<16 y), and 31.56 Gy·cm2 (<16 y), respectively. In conclusion, when comparing our results with other existing DRL values, we found that they are similar to other centers and thus there is scope to continue optimizing the radiation dose values. This will contribute to establishing national DRLs for Colombia in the near future.

RESUMO

El dolor torácico es uno de los motivos de consulta más frecuente en un servicio de urgencia. Dentro de las hipótesis diagnósticas se deben descartar las patologías de mayor gravedad: el infarto al miocardio (IM), la disección aórtica, el tromboembolismo pulmonar y el neumotórax. El escenario más frecuente es el IM debido a un accidente de placa, pero existen casos en donde la disección aórtica puede verse acompañada de un déficit de perfusión coronaria (síndrome de malaperfusión) generando un IM. Su diagnóstico es difícil, con una mayor mortalidad y complejidad quirúrgica. Presentamos el caso de un hombre de 59 años que cursó con dolor torácico y electrocardiograma con elevación del segmento ST inferior y anterior, derivado a angioplastia primaria y que en el estudio angiográfico se identifica compromiso ostial de coronarias, se sospecha una disección aórtica, confirmándose por angiotomografía computada de aorta, donde se evidencia una disección de aorta ascendente con compromiso de ambos ostium coronarios que se trató quirúrgicamente.

Chest pain is one of the most frequent reasons for consultation in the emergency department. The most severe pathologies must be quickly ruled out within the diagnostic hypotheses: myocardial infarction (MI), aortic dissection, pulmonary thromboembolism, and pneumothorax. A frequent scenario is ST elevation MI due to a plaque accident. However, there are infrequent cases of aortic dissection associated with a deficit in coronary perfusion (malperfusion syndrome) that triggers a MI. The diagnosis of a double artery is difficult, with higher mortality and surgical complexity. We present the case of a 59-year-old man who presented chest pain and an electrocardiogram with inferior and anterior ST-segment elevation who was referred for primary angioplasty. The angiographic study confirmed the presence of a coronary ostium defect and suggested aortic dissection. Computed tomography angiography confirmed the diagnosis, showing the dissection of the ascending aorta with the compromise of both coronary ostia, which was subjected to surgical treatment.

RESUMO

We examined the results of cardiac catheterization in infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) from 2009 to 2020. Catheterization confirmed pulmonary arterial hypertension in all cases (n =  17) and identified left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) in 53%. LVDD was associated with greater respiratory morbidity. Preprocedural noninvasive assessment showed inconsistent agreement with catheterization results.

RESUMO

Introdução: Face à melhor compreensão da fisiopatologia da estenose valvar aórtica, cresceu paralelamente a complexidade da avaliação de sua gravidade, persistindo relevante incerteza quanto à aplicabilidade dos métodos invasivos pelo cateterismo cardíaco e os não invasivos, com base em ecocardiografia. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar os padrões hemodinâmicos da avaliação com ecocardiografia comparativamente à estimativa da gravidade da estenose aórtica com o cateterismo em pacientes consecutivos referidos para avaliação diagnóstica por laboratório de hospital acadêmico terciário no triênio 2016-2018. Métodos: Estudo observacional, descritivo e retrospectivo das características clínicas e dos resultados das avaliações da gravidade da estenose valvar aórtica obtidas em 96 pacientes consecutivos, por meio de cateterismo e ecocardiografia. Resultados: Amostra populacional de 49 homens e 47 mulheres, com mediana de idade de 66,5 (56,5 a 72,8) anos, estenose valvar aórtica degenerativa em 49% e reumática em 40%, além de diversas comorbidades, inclusive doença coronária (37%). Pelo cateterismo, com base no gradiente pico de 48 (20 a 68), a estenose valvar aórtica foi avaliada como grave em 56%, sendo a pressão telediastólica ventricular de 20mmHg (16 a 30mmHg). Pela ecocardiografia, a área valvar foi 0,9cm2 (0,7 a 1,2cm2), sendo indexado 0,5cm2/m2 (0,43 a 0,5cm2/m2), com gradiente pico de 62±26 mmHg. A estenose valvar aórtica foi considerada severa em 69,2%. Houve discordância entre os métodos sobre a severidade da estenose valvar aórtica em 30% dos exames, com coeficiente de Spearman entre área valvar pelo ecocardiograma e gradiente pico pelo cateterismo de -0,7 (p<0,001). Conclusão: Em amostra representativa dos vários padrões hemodinâmicos, a avaliação da gravidade da estenose valvar aórtica, como praticada rotineiramente em laboratório acadêmico, limitou-se à medida de pico de gradiente transvalvar. A estimativa da área valvar pelo método ecocardiográfico, sendo indireta e também passível de crítica, contribui para as discrepâncias encontradas, tornando-se justificável buscar o aperfeiçoamento de ambos os métodos, em vista da complexidade clínica e hemodinâmica detectada.

Background: In view of the better understanding of the pathophysiology of aortic valve stenosis, the complexity of assessing its severity has simultaneously grown, with relevant uncertainty persisting as to the applicability of invasive methods by cardiac catheterization and non-invasive methods based on echocardiography. The objective of this study was to analyze the hemodynamic patterns of evaluation with echocardiography compared to the estimation of severity of aortic stenosis with catheterization in consecutive patients referred for diagnostic evaluation by the laboratory of a tertiary academic hospital in the 2016 to 2018 triennium. Methods: An observational, descriptive and retrospective study of clinical characteristics and results of assessments of severity of aortic valve stenosis obtained in 96 consecutive patients, through catheterization and echocardiography. Results: A population sample of 49 men and 47 women, with a median age of 66.5 (56.5 to 72.8) years, degenerative aortic valve stenosis in 49%, and rheumatic aortic stenosis in 40%, in addition to several comorbidities, including coronary disease (37%). Using catheterization, based on the peak gradient of 48 (20 to 68), aortic valve stenosis was assessed as severe in 56%, with ventricular end-diastolic pressure of 20mmHg (16 to 30mmHg). Using echocardiography, the valve area was 0.9cm2 (0.7 to 1.2cm2), indexed valve area was 0.5cm2/m2 (0.43 to 0.5cm2/m2), with peak gradient of 62±26mmHg. Aortic valve stenosis was considered severe in 69.2%. There was disagreement between the methods regarding severity of aortic valve stenosis in 30% of exams, with a Spearman coefficient between the valve area on the echocardiogram and the peak gradient on catheterization of -0.7 (p<0.001). Conclusion: In a representative sample of various hemodynamic patterns, the assessment of severity of aortic valve stenosis, as routinely practiced in an academic laboratory, was limited to measuring the peak transvalvular gradient. The estimation of the valve area using the echocardiographic method was indirect and also subject to criticism, and contributed to the discrepancies found, rendering it justifiable to seek the improvement of both methods, in view of the clinical and hemodynamic complexity detected.

RESUMO

Resumo Fundamento A nefropatia induzida por contraste (NIC) é definida como deterioração da função renal, representada por um aumento da creatinina sérica ≥25% ou ≥0,5 mg/dL até 72 horas após a exposição ao meio de contraste iodado (MCI). A medida preventiva mais eficaz até o momento é a hidratação venosa (HV). Pouco se sabe sobre a eficácia da hidratação oral (HO) ambulatorial. Objetivo Investigar se a HO ambulatorial com água é tão eficaz quanto a HV com solução salina a 0,9% na prevenção de NIC em procedimentos coronarianos eletivos. Métodos Neste estudo observacional retrospectivo, foram analisados prontuários médicos e dados laboratoriais para coletar dados de indivíduos submetidos a procedimentos coronarianos percutâneos com MCI. Os dados coletados entre 2012 e 2015 avaliaram indivíduos que foram submetidos à HV e entre 2016 e 2020 (após a implementação de um protocolo de HO), os indivíduos que foram submetidos à HO em casa antes e depois de procedimentos coronarianos, conforme orientação da equipe de enfermagem. A significância estatística adotada foi de α=0,05. Resultados No total, 116 pacientes foram incluídos neste estudo, 58 no grupo HV e 58 no grupo HO. Observou-se incidência de NIC de 15% (9/58) no grupo que recebeu HV e 12% (7/58) no grupo que recebeu HO (p=0,68). Conclusão O protocolo de HO realizado pelo paciente parece ser tão eficaz quanto o protocolo de HV hospitalar na proteção renal de indivíduos suscetíveis a desenvolver NIC em intervenções coronarianas eletivas. Essas descobertas devem ser testadas em ensaios mais abrangentes.

Abstract Background Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is defined as worsening renal function, represented by an increase in serum creatinine of ≥ 25% or ≥ 0.5 mg/dL up to 72 h after exposure to iodinated contrast medium (ICM). The most effective preventive measure to date is intravenous hydration (IVH). Little is known about the effectiveness of outpatient oral hydration (OH). Objetive To investigate whether outpatient OH with water is as effective as IVH with 0.9% saline solution in preventing CIN in elective coronary procedures. Methods In this retrospective observational study, we analyzed the medical records and laboratory data of individuals undergoing percutaneous coronary procedures with ICM. Data collected between 2012 and 2015 refer to individuals who underwent IVH and those collected between 2016 and 2020 (after implementation of an OH protocol) correspond to individuals who underwent OH at home before and after coronary procedures as instructed by the nursing team. Statistical significance was established at α = 0.05. Results In total, 116 patients were included in this study: 58 in the IVH group and 58 in the OH group. An incidence of CIN of 15% (9/58) was observed in the group that received IVH and an incidence of 12% (7/58) was seen in the group that received OH (p = 0.68). Conclusion The OH protocol, performed by the patient, appears to be as effective as the in-hospital IVH protocol for the renal protection of individuals susceptible to CIN in elective coronary interventions. These findings should be put to test in larger trials.

Data were collected from September to October 2021, and participants underwent a semi-structured interview. The guiding questions of the interview were elaborated based on Kazdin. The interviews were recorded and transcribed for Bardin's content analysis. To analyze EMIRA participants' participants, Representations of Everyday Life's theoretical contribution was used. Results Acceptability analysis in relation to EMIRA allowed identifying three categories: EMIRA complex intervention: new experience that helps to understand cardiac catheterization; Complex EMIRA intervention: an experience that generates satisfaction; and EMIRA complex intervention: an anxiety-relieving experience. Participants reported feelings of calm, relief, tranquility, satisfaction, and recommended using EMIRA. Conclusion Participants' experience with EMIRA was positive, suggesting good acceptability of CI by people awaiting unscheduled catheterization in the emergency unit.

RESUMO

Introdução: Dispositivos externos compressivos após a punção radial para cateterismo cardíaco e intervenção coronária percutânea visam à hemostasia, ao conforto para o paciente e à segurança. O estudo objetivou avaliar pacientes submetidos a procedimentos coronários invasivos por via radial, nos quais se utilizou um curativo compressivo e de baixo custo, desenvolvido no serviço, avaliando a segurança dele e a ocorrência de complicações. Métodos: Indivíduos submetidos à coronariografia e à intervenção coronária percutânea, avaliados no momento de retirada do curativo compressivo e após 7 dias, por meio de questionário abrangendo comorbidades, quadro clínico, tempo do procedimento e de compressão, avaliação física de hematoma e dor, e Doppler vascular sonoro para avaliação de oclusão da artéria radial. Resultados: Foram avaliados 144 pacientes, sendo 138 com seguimento em 7 dias. Os eventos não diferiram entre procedimentos diagnósticos e terapêuticos. Na avaliação imediata à retirada do curativo, revelou-se incidência de 4,2% de oclusão da artéria radial, com dor referida em 23,6% dos pacientes, graduada em 2,9±1,7 pela Escala Visual Analógica (intensidade de zero a dez) e sem sangramentos graves. Hematoma ocorreu em um paciente (0,9%), com classificação III pelo critério EASY. Na avaliação de 7 dias, a incidência de oclusão da artéria radial foi de 2,2%, a dor foi referida em 11,1% da amostra (intensidade 1,8±0,8), e o hematoma foi evidenciado em 3,5%. Conclusão: O curativo compressivo mostrou-se um procedimento seguro, com baixa taxa de complicações e baixa taxa de dor local nos pacientes submetidos a procedimentos coronários invasivos pela via radial.

Background: External compressive devices after radial puncture for cardiac catheterization and percutaneous coronary intervention aim at hemostasis, patient comfort, and safety. The objective of the study was to evaluate patients undergoing invasive coronary procedures by radial approach, in which a low-cost compressive dressing developed at the service was used, assessing its safety and the occurrence of complications. Methods: Patients undergoing coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention, evaluated at the time of removal of compressive dressing and after 7 days, by means of a questionnaire addressing comorbidities, clinical picture, procedure and compression time, physical assessment of hematoma and pain, and a vascular Doppler ultrasound to evaluate radial artery occlusion. Results: A total of 144 patients were evaluated, 138 of whom were followed up within 7 days. Events did not differ among diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. In the immediate evaluation after removal of dressing, an incidence of 4.2% of radial artery occlusion was observed, with pain reported by 23.6% of patients, graded at 2.9±1.7 points in the Visual Analogue Scale (intensity of zero to ten), and no major bleeding. Hematoma occurred in one patient (0.9%), classified as type III according to the EASY criteria. In the 7-day evaluation, the incidence of radial artery occlusion was 2.2%, pain was reported in 11.1% of sample (intensity 1.8±0.8), and hematoma was evident in 3.5%. Conclusion: The compressive dressing proved to be a safe procedure, with a low rate of complications and a low rate of local pain in patients undergoing invasive coronary procedures via radial approach.
