RESUMO

In adults, cardiovascular events associated with arterial hypertension (AH) have a major impact on morbidity and mortality. In light of recent findings, AH in children has been interpreted as early cardiovascular disease (CVD), while exposure to CV risk factors in children proves to be a predictor of subclinical CVD in adults. The American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association has recently updated the classifications for measuring blood pressure (BP) in adults and children. Primary AH in children is generally asymptomatic, and it is associated with a family history of AH, overweight/obesity, and normal morphofunctional characteristics of the urinary system. The younger the child and the higher the BP, the greater the likelihood of secondary AH. The investigation into the etiology of AH begins with a detailed anamnesis, which should include clinical information and details on the use of medication, smoking, and alcohol consumption from the perinatal period to the time of consultation. Modifying risk factors by reducing weight, decreasing alcohol consumption and increasing vegetable intake from childhood to adulthood has been associated with the resolution of AH in the childhood-adulthood transition, and with the reversal of cardiometabolic adverse effects in non-obese adult individuals. Pharmacological therapy should be initiated in cases of symptomatic AH, AH secondary to chronic kidney disease or diabetes mellitus, presence of target organ lesions, stage 2 AH with no modifiable cause and resistant AH unresponsive to lifestyle changes.


RESUMO Em adultos, eventos cardiovasculares associados à hipertensão arterial (HA) apresentam grande repercussão na morbimortalidade. À luz dos novos conhecimentos, a HA na criança tem sido interpretada como doença cardiovascular (DCV) precoce, enquanto a exposição da criança aos fatores de risco CV revela-se preditora de DCV subclínica em adultos. As classificações da medida de pressão arterial (PA) no adulto e na faixa pediátrica foram recentemente atualizadas pelo American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association. A HA primária na criança é em geral assintomática, e se associa com história familiar de HA, sobrepeso/obesidade e normalidade morfofuncional do sistema urinário. Quanto mais jovem a criança e mais elevada a PA, maior a chance de se tratar de HA secundário. A investigação da etiologia da HA inicia-se com anamnese detalhada, que deve incluir informações clínicas e de utilização de medicamentos, fumo e álcool, desde o período perinatal até o momento da consulta. A modificação de fatores de risco, com redução do peso, redução do consumo de álcool e aumento do consumo de vegetais, entre a infância e a idade adulta, mostrou associação com a resolução da HA na transição infância-idade adulta e com a reversão dos efeitos adversos cardiometabólicos nos indivíduos adultos não obesos. A terapêutica farmacológica deve ser iniciada para casos de HA sintomática, HA secundária a doença renal crônica ou a diabetes mellitus, presença de lesões de órgão alvo, HA estágio 2 sem causa modificável e HA persistente não responsiva à mudança de estilo de vida.

RESUMO

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: We aimed to compare the etiology and perinatal outcomes of non-immune hydrops fetalis diagnosed early- and late-onset at our hospital. METHODS: The records of the patients who applied to our department were reviewed, and we reached 42 non-immune hydrops fetalis cases retrospectively and examined the medical records. Hydrops diagnosis week, birth week, accompanying anomalies, and perinatal outcomes were compared as ≤12 weeks (early-onset) and >12 weeks (late-onset). RESULTS: The prevalence of non-immune hydrops fetalis was 0.05%, and the median week of diagnosis for hydrops was 18 weeks. Consanguinity (16.7%) was found in seven pregnancies, and the other seven patients (16.7%) had a history of hydrops in previous pregnancies. Anomalies of the skeletal system, central nervous system, and gastrointestinal tract accounted for 66.7% of ≤12 weeks in non-immune hydrops fetalis cases. Cardiac abnormalities were more common (26.7%) in patients at > 12 weeks (p=0.078). A statistically significant difference was found between the distribution of week of birth and week of diagnosis (p=0.029). Notably, 66.7% of patients diagnosed before week 12 and 23.3% of patients diagnosed after week 12 delivered their babies before week 24. Spontaneous intrauterine death occurred before week 12 in 45.5% (n=5) of non-immune hydrops fetalis and after week 12 in 39.1% (n=9) of non-immune hydrops fetalis. Notably, 69.2% (n=9) of the patients who had prenatal invasive testing resulted in normal karyotype. CONCLUSION: In this study, most of the fetuses diagnosed with early-onset non-immune hydrops fetalis were born in the first 24 weeks. Additionally, live birth rates and cardiac anomalies were observed to be higher in late-onset non-immune hydrops fetalis.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT Chikungunya fever (CHIK) is a neglected tropical disease associated with chronic arthritis. CHIK is usually a self-limiting condition; however, extra-articular manifestations present as atypical illness in a minority of patients. These atypical features may mimic other conditions and potentially distract physicians from the true diagnosis. This review analyzes the evidence of many unusual extra-articular manifestations reported in cases of CHIK. Depending on the affected system, these unusual manifestations include encephalitis, myocarditis, acute interstitial nephritis, cutaneous manifestations, acute anterior uveitis, abdominal pain, and depression. In addition, coinfections and comorbidities may cause atypical illness and obscure the diagnosis. Further studies are required to clarify the pathophysiology and natural history of CHIK, as it remains a burdening condition. Exploring its atypical symptoms may be the missing scientific piece of this puzzle.

RESUMO

Resumo Fundamento As pontes miocárdicas (PM) são anomalias anatômicas com possíveis repercussões clínicas, e, portanto, seu entendimento merece atenção. Objetivo Para determinar a prevalência e caracterizar a PM em corações humanos do estado do Ceará. Métodos: Foram usados cinquenta corações de cadáveres humanos adultos da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade Federal do Ceará, Brasil. Os corações foram dissecados para identificar PMs que passam sobre parte da artéria coronária. O segmento da artéria (proximal, médio e distal) com a ponte foi identificado. O diâmetro externo da artéria nos pontos proximal e distal da PM foi medido. O comprimento e a espessura da PM também foram medidos com um calibre eletrônico. O índice de massa muscular (IMM) da PM foi calculado como o produto do comprimento pela espessura expresso em milímetros. O nível de significância adotado para a análise estatística foi 5%. Resultados A PM foi confirmada em 40% da amostra. Aproximadamente um terço da amostra tinha apenas 1 PM. A PM foi encontrada mais frequentemente sobre o ramo interventricular anterior da artéria coronária esquerda (59,25%, p = 0,02), e sua prevalência em outros ramos foi muito mais baixa (22,23%). Os segmentos das artérias mais afetados foram o superior (44,44%) e o médio (40,74%). O diâmetro médio das artérias proximais em relação à PM foi de 2,38 ± 0,97 mm (intervalo = 0,78 - 5,15 mm), e o diâmetro distal da PM foi de 1,71 ± 0,75 mm (intervalo = 0,42 - 3,58 mm). O comprimento foi medido como média = 8,55 ± 5,27 mm, e a espessura média foi de 0,89 ± 0,33 mm. Conclusão A alta prevalência de PM tem mais probabilidade de afetar o sistema da artéria coronária esquerda com IMM maior do que outros ramos afetados.


Abstract Background Myocardial bridges (MB) are anatomical anomalies with possible clinical repercussions; hence, their understanding deserves attention. Objective To determinate the prevalence and characterize MB in human hearts from the state of Ceará. Methods: Fifty hearts of adult human cadavers from the Medicine School of Federal University of Ceará, Brazil. The hearts were dissected to identify MBs that pass over part of the coronary artery. The segment of the artery (proximal, middle, and distal) with a bridge was identified. The external diameter of the artery at the proximal and distal points of the MB was measured. The length and thickness of the MB were also measured with an electronic caliper. The muscle index (MMI) of the MB was calculated as the product of length and thickness expressed in millimeters. The significance level adopted in the statistical analysis was 5%. Results MB was confirmed in 40% of sample. Approximately one third of the sample had only 1 MB. MB was most frequently found over the anterior interventricular branch of the left coronary artery (59.25%, p=0.02), and its prevalence in other branches was much lower (22.23%). The most affected segments of arteries were the superior (44.44%) and medium (40.74%). The mean diameter of arteries proximal to the MB was 2.38±0.97mm (range=0.78-5.15mm), and the diameter distal to the MB was 1.71±0.75mm (range=0.42-3.58mm). The length was measured as mean=8.55±5.27mm, while the mean thickness was 0.89±0.33mm. Conclusion A high prevalence of MB is more likely to affect the left coronary artery system with larger MMI than other affected branches.

RESUMO

This study aimed to map systemic alterations predisposing to oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) onset. This review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. Five databases were used to access (1) reports of OSCC co-occurring in patients with systemic conditions, (2) prevalence of OSCC among these patients, and (3) clinicopathological profiles. Data from more than 1 million patients worldwide showed that Fanconi's anemia, xeroderma pigmentosum, dyskeratosis congenital, chronic fatigue syndrome, and patients post bone marrow transplantation (BMT) present increased risk for OSCC development. The overall prevalence of OSCC in syndromic patients and post-BMT were 0.65% (95% CI = 0.13-3.11, p < 0.01) and 5.83% (95% CI = 0.00-30.90, p < 0.01), respectively. The certainty of the evidence was moderate. This study demonstrated that some systemic conditions predispose to OSCC. These results present an impact on the screening of OSCC in systemically compromised patients.

RESUMO

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the clinical, laboratory, and donation-specific outcomes of living kidney donors 6 years after donation. METHODS: We included a total of 93 kidney donors and 54 age- and sex-matched individuals as control group through a type 2 cohort consecutive recruitment. We detected kidney function abnormalities and the presence of hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular events during the 6 years follow-up period. RESULTS: The mean serum creatinine levels were higher (p<0.001), and the estimated glomerular filtration rate levels were lower (p<0.001) in living kidney donors 6 years after donation when compared with controls. The protein/creatinine ratio of the study population was also higher (p=0.014). There was no difference in outcomes between the groups for end-stage kidney disease and cardiovascular mortality. A higher rate of new-onset hypertension (6.4 vs. 32.9%), diabetes mellitus (0.0 vs. 4.3%), chronic kidney disease (0.0 vs. 2.1%), and cardiovascular disease (0.0 vs. 2.1%) was demonstrated among donors 6 years after donation (p<0.001, respectively). CONCLUSION: Our data have demonstrated that the reduction in Glomerular filtration rate induced by kidney donation might cause an increase in adverse renal and cardiovascular events.

RESUMO

RESUMEN El equilibrio del corazón en los deportistas favorece una estabilidad morfológica y funcional que propicie parámetros de función cardiovascular en rangos de normalidad, manifestado en adecuados valores de: tensión arterial sistólica y diastólica, frecuencia cardíaca, respiratoria y aptitud física para el entrenamiento y actividades diarias. Debido a los sacrificios biológicos que esto implica, los atletas retirados de polo acuático sufren de adaptaciones morfofuncionales cardiovasculares que deben ser atendidas cuando aceptan el retiro y pasan al desentrenamiento deportivo, que constituye una estrategia profiláctica y terapéutica para el cuidado de la salud de los atletas. Se proponen intervenciones tempranas, con programaciones de trabajo aerobio, para equilibrar las adaptaciones morfofuncionales cardiovasculares en atletas retirados del alto rendimiento.


ABSTRACT The balance of the heart in athletes favors morphological and functional stability that favors cardiovascular function parameters within normal ranges, manifested in adequate values of: systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate and physical fitness for training and daily activities. Due to the biological sacrifices that this implies, retired water polo athletes suffer from cardiovascular morphofunctional adaptations that must be addressed when they accept retirement and move on to sports detraining, which constitutes a prophylactic and therapeutic strategy for the health care of athletes. Early interventions are proposed, with aerobic work schedules, to balance cardiovascular morphofunctional adaptations in retired high-performance athletes.

RESUMO

Background: Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) can either present alone as an isolated condition or in association with other aortic arch or cardiac anomalies. One percent of patients with CoA have concomitant an aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA). Purpose: We report the case of a 35-year-old woman with uncontrolled hypertension who was found to have CoA and ARSA. Results: The patient was treated successfully using a hybrid procedure comprising ARSA ligation and subclavian to carotid transposition, followed by thoracic endovascular aortic repair. Conclusions: Patients with CoA should be carefully studied, considering the possible coexistence of other congenital aortic arch defects, such as ARSA. Hybrid repair is a safe and effective approach for this condition.

RESUMO

Abstract Objective: To determine the dental health of children with Congenital Heart Diseases (CHD) and to evaluate the parents' knowledge of the importance of oral health and the risk of Bacterial Endocarditis. Material and Methods: This research included 140 children divided into the study group (80 children with CHD) and the control group (60 healthy children). The children were from different parts of Kosova, aged between 3-15. The parents were asked to complete a questionnaire containing demographic data (age and gender), general and special medical history (CHD types), knowledge about oral health importance and risk of bacterial endocarditis, and data about the daily oral hygiene child. The caries experience was reported using the DMFT/dmft index. Results: The average value of the dmft index was 6.7 for the study group and 5.62 for the control group, while the average value of DMFT index for the study group was 4.1, and for the control group was 3.47 (p>0.05). About 68.7% of parents of children with CHD were informed about their risk during dental interventions. However, knowledge was insufficient about the importance of oral health and dental prophylactic measures once only 32.7% of them were aware of those measures. Conclusion: No difference was observed between healthy and CHD children in caries experience and frequency of daily tooth brushing. Our findings provide evidence of a lack of knowledge about the importance of oral health and dental prophylactic measures among parents with CHD children (AU).

RESUMO

Abstract As obesity has reached epidemic proportions and given the current recognition of central adiposity as an important cardiometabolic risk factor, several researchers have focused on developing and validating predictive indexes and equations to evaluate Visceral Adipose Tissue (VAT). This study evaluates the applicability of the Visceral Adiposity Index (VAI) for predicting cardiometabolic risk in individuals treated in a hospital In the northeast region of Brazil. The VAT was evaluated by computed tomography (CT) and the VAI was calculated through specific equations for each gender. The sample involved adult and elderly patients of both genders followed up in a cardiology outpatient clinic. The following cardiometabolic parameters were collected: fasting glycemia, glycated hemoglobin, lipid profile, C-reactive protein (CRP) and uric acid. The simple linear regression was used to evaluate the explanatory power of the VAI in relation to the volume of VAT determined by CT. The predictive capacity of VAI in relation to the volume of VAT determined by CT was 25.8% (p=0.004) for males and 19.9% (p<0.001) for females. VAI correlated strongly with the triglyceride (TG) (p<0.001) and TG/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) ratio (p<0.001) and inversely correlated with HDL (p<0.001). Moreover, VAI showed low correlation with the following variables: abdominal circumference, total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein, fasting glycemia, and glycated hemoglobin (p<0.05). VAI was associated with variables considered as cardiometabolic risk factors, but exhibited a low predictive capacity regarding the volume of VAT determined by CT. Thus, caution is recommended in its use in Brazilian individuals.


Resumo Em razão de a obesidade ter alcançado proporções epidêmicas e dado ao atual reconhecimento da adiposidade central como um importante fator de risco cardiometabólico, diversos pesquisadores têm se dedicado em desenvolver e validar índices e equações preditivas para avaliar o Tecido Adiposo Visceral (TAV). Este estudo avaliou a aplicabilidade do Índice de Adiposidade Visceral (IAV) como preditor de risco cardiometabólico em indivíduos atendidos em um hospital no nordeste brasileiro. O TAV foi avaliado por tomografia computadorizada (TC) e o IAV foi calculado através de equações específicas para cada sexo. A amostra envolveu pacientes adultos e idosos de ambos os sexos acompanhados no ambulatório de cardiologia. Os seguintes parâmetros cardiometabólicos foram coletados: glicemia de jejum, hemoglobina glicada, perfil lipídico, proteína C-reativa e ácido úrico. Regressão linear simples foi empregada para avaliar o poder explicativo do IAV em relação ao volume de TAV determinado por TC. A capacidade preditiva do IAV em relação ao volume de TAV determinado pela TC foi de 25,8% (p=0,004) para o sexo masculino e 19,9% (p<0,001) para o sexo feminino. O IAV se correlacionou fortemente com as variáveis TG (r=0,916, p< 0,001) e TG/HDL (r=0,952, p<0,001) e inversamente com o HDL (r=-0,441, p<0,001), além disso, apresentou baixa correlação com as variáveis: circunferência abdominal, colesterol total, lipoproteína de baixa densidade, glicemia de jejum e hemoglobina glicada (p<0,05). O IAV associou-se com variáveis consideradas fatores de risco cardiometabólico, porém exibiu baixa capacidade preditiva em relação ao volume de TAV determinado pela TC, sendo recomendada cautela em sua utilização em indivíduos brasileiros.

RESUMO

Resumo Fudamento Em 2015, foram diagnosticados 2.368 portadores de malformação congênita (MC) por 100.000 nascidos vivos (NV) no mundo, uma taxa de 7,6%, dos quais 10,6% morreram no primeiro ano de vida, sendo 43% por malformações do aparelho circulatório (MAC), à semelhança do que ocorre no Brasil. Objetivo Verificar a associação de diagnóstico de MAC ao nascimento e morte por MAC no primeiro ano de vida com índice de desenvolvimento humano (IDH) e recursos tecnológicos e humanos para o diagnóstico e tratamento da MAC por macrorregião do Brasil. Métodos Estudo ecológico de dados disponíveis de 2000 a 2015. Informações sobre NV, óbitos e ecocardiógrafos foram obtidas do DATASUS, o IDH, do Atlas de Desenvolvimento Humano no Brasil, e as demais foram obtidas da demografia médica. Foram realizadas medidas de correlação entre as variáveis utilizando o índice de Kendall. Resultados A taxa de MC foi 660,8/100.000 NV, das quais, 18.444 por MAC (taxa de diagnóstico 38,55/100.000 NV). As regiões Sul e Sudeste, com maiores valores de IDH e recursos, apresentaram as maiores taxas de diagnóstico de MAC (56,94/100.000 e 62,83/100.000 NV, respectivamente). As regiões Norte e Nordeste, com os menores valores de IDH e recursos, apresentaram as menores taxas de diagnóstico de MAC (9,77/100.000 e 13,43/100.000 NV, respectivamente). Essa taxa de diagnóstico foi 6,4 vezes maior no Sudeste do que no Norte, mas as taxas de mortalidade foram similares. Conclusão Das MC, as MAC apresentaram a maior mortalidade nos menores de 1 ano no Brasil.


Abstract Background In 2015, the number of infants with congenital malformations (CMs) per 100 000 live births (LBs) was 2368 (7.6%) worldwide, of whom 10.6% died in the first year of life, 43% due to malformations of the circulatory system (MCSs), a scenario similar to what occurs in Brazil. Objective To assess, per Brazilian macroregion, whether diagnosis of MCS at birth and death due to MCS in the first year of life associate with human development index (HDI) and with technological and human resources. Methods Ecological study including data available in 2000-2015. Data of LBs, deaths and availability of echocardiography devices were obtained from the DATASUS website. The HDI was obtained from the Atlas of Human Development in Brazil, while other variables were obtained from medical demographic data. Correlation measures between the variables were performed using the Kendall index. Results The CM rate was 660.8/100 000 LBs, of which 18 444 were due to MCS (diagnosis rate, 38.55/100 000 LBs). Of all Brazilian macroregions, the Southern and Southeastern regions, with the highest HDI values and resources, had the highest MCS diagnosis rates (56.94/100 000 and 62.83/100 000 LBs, respectively). The Northern and Northeastern regions, with the lowest HDI values and resources, had the lowest MCS diagnosis rates (9.77/100 000 and 13.43/100 000 LBs, respectively). The MCS diagnosis rate was 6.4-fold higher in the Southeastern region as compared to the Northern region, but mortality rates were similar in both regions. Conclusion Of the CMs, the MCS accounted for the highest number of deaths in children under the age of 1 year in Brazil.

RESUMO

Agenesis of the inferior vena cava (IVC) has been described in less than 1% of the population; a rare occurrence caused by embryonic abnormalities. Its correlation with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is certainly underestimated, since this change is hard to detect using ultrasound. The aim of the article is to report the case of a 41-year-old female patient with pain and edema up to the top of the right thigh after plastic surgery. Bilateral venous duplex ultrasound revealed bilateral DVT involving iliac-femoral-popliteal and distal segments. Venous angiotomography was requested because the IVC was not visible on ultrasound, revealing thrombosis of the right lumbar plexus and iliofemoral segment bilaterally and agenesis of the infrahepatic segment of the inferior vena cava, with ectasia and compensatory tortuosity of paravertebral veins and the azygos-hemiazygos system, and bilateral pelvic varices. Systemic and oral anticoagulation were administered, with a satisfactory clinical response.

RESUMO

Pentalogy of Cantrell is a rare entity characterized by a combination of alterations, among which the following stand out: defects of the pericardium, heart, diaphragm, lower third of sternum and abdominal wall. On the other hand, congenital cardiac diverticulum is a rare malformation whose presentation is associated with Cantrell's pentalogy in some cases. We present the case of a child with Cantrell's pentalogy who, during follow-up, was diagnosed with left ventricular diverticulum, which required surgical management with a favorable outcome. Addressing these conditions requires the use of cardiovascular images that allow timely decision-making by the treating team.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT: Objective: To evaluate the effects of resistance training on metabolic and cardiovascular responses during maximal cardiopulmonary exercise testing in patients with Parkinson's disease. Methods: Twenty-four patients with Parkinson's disease (modified Hoehn and Yahr stages 2 to 3) were randomly assigned to one of two groups: Control or Resistance Training. Patients in the Resistance Training Group completed an exercise program consisting of five resistance exercises (two to four sets of six to 12 repetitions maximum per set) twice a week. Patients in the Control Group maintained their usual lifestyle. Oxygen uptake, systolic blood pressure and heart rate were assessed at rest and during cycle ergometer-based maximal cardiopulmonary exercise testing at baseline and at 12 weeks. Assessments during exercise were conducted at absolute submaximal intensity (slope of the linear regression line between physiological variables and absolute workloads), at relative submaximal intensity (anaerobic threshold and respiratory compensation point) and at maximal intensity (maximal exercise). Muscle strength was also evaluated. Results: Both groups had similar increase in peak oxygen uptake after 12 weeks of training. Heart rate and systolic blood pressure measured at absolute and relative submaximal intensities and at maximal exercise intensity did not change in any of the groups. Muscle strength increased in the Resistance Training but not in the Control Group after 12 weeks. Conclusion: Resistance training increases muscle strength but does not change metabolic and cardiovascular responses during maximal cardiopulmonary exercise testing in patients with Parkinson's disease without cardiovascular comorbidities.


RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar os efeitos do treinamento resistido nas respostas metabólicas e cardiovasculares ao teste de esforço cardiopulmonar máximo em pacientes com doença de Parkinson. Métodos: Vinte e quarto pacientes com doença de Parkinson (estágios 2 a 3 de Hoehn e Yahr modificado) foram aleatoriamente randomizados em dois grupos: Controle e Treinamento Resistido. O Grupo Treinamento Resistido realizou, duas vezes por semana, cinco exercícios resistidos, duas a quatro séries, seis a 12 repetições máximas por série. O Grupo Controle manteve seu estilo de vida. No início e após 12 semanas, consumo de oxigênio, pressão arterial sistólica e frequência cardíaca foram avaliados em repouso e durante um teste de esforço cardiopulmonar máximo realizado em um cicloergômetro. As avaliações durante o exercício foram realizadas nas intensidades submáximas (a inclinação da regressão linear entre as variáveis fisiológicas e as cargas absolutas), nas intensidades submáximas relativas (limiar anaeróbico e ponto de compensação respiratória) e na intensidade máxima (pico do exercício). Adicionalmente, foi avaliada a força muscular. Resultados: Comparado com o início, o consumo de oxigênio pico aumentou, de forma semelhante, em ambos os grupos após 12 semanas. A frequência cardíaca e a pressão arterial sistólica avaliadas nas intensidades submáximas absolutas e relativas, assim como no pico do exercício, não se modificaram em nenhum dos grupos. Finalmente, diferente do Grupo Controle, a força muscular aumentou no Grupo Treinamento Resistido após 12 semanas. Conclusão: Em pacientes com doença de Parkinson sem comorbidades cardiovasculares, o treinamento resistido aumenta a força muscular, mas não modifica as respostas metabólicas e cardiovasculares ao teste de esforço cardiopulmonar máximo.

RESUMO

Resumo A agenesia de veia cava inferior é descrita em menos de 1% da população, de ocorrência rara e devido a alterações embrionárias. Sua correlação com a trombose venosa profunda certamente é subestimada, visto que tal alteração é de difícil detecção pela ultrassonografia. O objetivo deste artigo foi relatar o caso de uma paciente de 41 anos com dor e edema até a raiz de coxa direita após cirurgia plástica. Foi realizado dúplex venoso de membros inferiores e evidenciada trombose venosa profunda ilíaco-femoro-poplíteo e distal bilateralmente. Solicitado angiotomografia venosa devido a não visualização de veia cava inferior no ultrassom, evidenciando trombose de plexo lombar direito e segmento ilíaco-femoral bilateral, além de agenesia de segmento infra-hepático de veia cava inferior, com ectasia e tortuosidade compensatória de veias paravertebrais, sistema ázigos e hemiázigos, com varizes pélvicas bilateralmente. Foi realizada anticoagulação sistêmica e oral, com boa evolução clínica.


Abstract Agenesis of the inferior vena cava (IVC) has been described in less than 1% of the population; a rare occurrence caused by embryonic abnormalities. Its correlation with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is certainly underestimated, since this change is hard to detect using ultrasound. The aim of the article is to report the case of a 41-year-old female patient with pain and edema up to the top of the right thigh after plastic surgery. Bilateral venous duplex ultrasound revealed bilateral DVT involving iliac-femoral-popliteal and distal segments. Venous angiotomography was requested because the IVC was not visible on ultrasound, revealing thrombosis of the right lumbar plexus and iliofemoral segment bilaterally and agenesis of the infrahepatic segment of the inferior vena cava, with ectasia and compensatory tortuosity of paravertebral veins and the azygos-hemiazygos system, and bilateral pelvic varices. Systemic and oral anticoagulation were administered, with a satisfactory clinical response.

RESUMO

Differences in the common aortic arch branching pattern arise from abnormal embryological development. Aberrant origin of the right subclavian artery is the most common of these anomalies. We report the case of a 47-year-old female with progressive dysphagia, found to have an aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) running posterior to the esophagus on computed tomography angiography. She was managed successfully with a hybrid procedure involving a right supraclavicular incision for ARSA ligation and subclavian to carotid transposition followed by endovascular closure of the ARSA origin.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Osteogenesis imperfecta is a collagen type I bone disorder. Recently, extra-skeletal manifestations have been described, including many cardiovascular alterations. This study aims to report echocardiogram study in children with osteogenesis imperfecta compared to a control group. METHODS: A cross-sectional comparative study took place in the Reference Center for Treatment of Osteogenesis Imperfecta in Southern Brazil. Fifty-four patients with osteogenesis imperfecta were paired with 54 controls, based on body surface area, and echocardiogram findings were compared. RESULTS: All cases were asymptomatic for cardiac manifestations. The case group presented significant larger values in aortic diameter, left atrium diameter, left ventricule end-diastolic diameter, left ventricule end-systolic diameter, and right ventricle diameter compared with the control group. The analysis considering the severity of osteogenesis imperfecta shows that in mild osteogenesis imperfecta, the aortic diameter (p < 0.001), left atrium diameter (p = 0.002), left ventricule end-diastolic diameter (p = 0.001), left ventricule end-systolic diameter (p = 0.026), and right ventricle diameter (p < 0.001) were significantly larger than in the control group. Patients with moderate/severe osteogenesis imperfecta had similar results, with aortic diameter (p < 0.001), left atrium diameter (p < 0.001), left ventricule end-diastolic diameter (p = 0.013), and left ventricule end-systolic diameter (0.004) statistically larger than controls. Twenty-six (48.1%) of the cases had physiological tricuspid regurgitation and in controls this finding was observed in eight (14.8%) (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Children with osteogenesis imperfecta presented cardiac function within the normal pattern, but dimensions of left ventricular dimensions were increased compared to the ones of the controls.

RESUMO

Introducción: las enfermedades cardiovasculares son la principal causa de muerte a nivel mundial, existen escalas que permiten determinar el riesgo de padecerlas, de ahí la importancia de estudiar su comportamiento en nuestra población.Objetivo: determinar la concordancia de las escalas de riesgo cardiovascular Framingham y PROCAM.Materiales y métodos: se realizó un estudio de tipo analítico con 500 pacientes con edades entre 35 y 65 años que cumplían con los criterios de inclusión, los datos se tomaron de las historias clínicas de consulta externa de Medicina Interna del Hospital José Carrasco Arteaga, centro de atención de tercer nivel, en el periodo enero-diciembre 2016. La concordancia se estableció a través del índice kappa de Cohen y el método de Bland y Altman.Resultados: el índice kappa calculado entre las escalas de riesgo cardiovascular Framingham y PROCAM es de 0.5246; (p<0.0001).Conclusión: la concordancia hallada entre Framingham y PROCAM es moderada. De acuerdo al gráfico de Bland y Altman las escalas son más concordantes en valores bajos de riesgo cardiovascular. Palabras claves: factores de riesgo, enfermedad cardiovascular, anomalías cardiovasculares (AU);
