Introduction: Timely reperfusion with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) improves patient outcomes. In recent years, the Stent for Life (SFL) initiative in Portugal developed an action plan to improve timely access to PPCI. This study aims to evaluate performance indicators in high-risk populations (elderly, female, and diabetic patients). Methods: Data on 1340 patients with suspected STEMI who were admitted to 18 Portuguese interventional cardiology centers were collected during a one-month period every year from 2011 to 2016. The risk of longer patient and system delay in elderly, female, and diabetic patients was assessed by logistic regression analysis. Results: Patient and system delays were longer in elderly patients (incremental median 32 and 40 min; p=0.001 and p90 min (OR 2.95; 95% CI 1.84-4.72; p 90 min» (OR 2,95; IC95% 1,84-4,72; p < 0,001). Conclusão: Os idosos apresentaram maior atraso do doente e do sistema, independentemente do género e da presença de diabetes mellitus. Esses dados sugerem que o subgrupo dos idosos deve ser alvo de uma nova ação da Iniciativa SFL.

© 2018 Sociedade Portuguesa de Cardiologia. Published by Elsevier España, S.L.U. All rights reserved., Introduction and Aims: System delay (time between first medical contact and reperfusion therapy) is an indicator of quality of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. This study aimed to assess changes in system delay between 2011 and 2015, and to identify its predictors. Methods: The study included 838 patients admitted to 18 Portuguese interventional cardiology centers suspected of having STEMI with less than 12 hours’ duration who were referred for primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Data were collected for a one-month period every year from 2011 to 2015. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to determine predictors of system delay. Results: No significant changes in system delay were observed during the study. Only 27% of patients had a system delay of ≤90 min. Multivariate analysis identified four predictors of system delay: age ≥75 years (OR 2.57; 95% CI 1.50-4.59; p=0.001), attending a center without pPCI (OR 4.08; 95% CI 2.75-6.10; p

© 2018 Sociedade Portuguesa de Cardiologia. Published by Elsevier España, S.L.U. All rights reserved., Introduction and Aims: Shorter patient delays are associated with a better prognosis for patients diagnosed with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). This study aimed to identify predictors of patient delay in the Portuguese population. Methods: Data on 994 patients with suspected STEMI of less than 12 hours’ duration and referred for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) and admitted to 18 Portuguese interventional cardiology centers were collected for a one-month period every year from 2011 to 2015. Univariate and multivariate linear regression models were used to identify predictors of patient delay. Results: No significant differences were observed in patient delay over the course of the survey. The multivariate analysis identified five predictors of patient delay: age ≥75 years (exp[beta] 1.28; 95% CI 1.10-1.50; p=0.001), symptom onset between 0:00 and 8:00 a.m. (exp[beta] 1.26; 95% CI 1.10-1.45; p=0.001), and attending a primary care unit before first medical contact (exp[beta] 1.75; 95% CI 1.41-2.16; p, Objetivos: Atrasos do doente diminutos estão relacionados com melhores prognósticos no enfarte agudo do miocárdio com supradesnivelamento de ST(STEMI). Este estudo tem como objetivo identificar os fatores preditivos do atraso do doente na população portuguesa. Métodos e resultados: Foram recolhidos dados de 994 doentes com suspeita de STEMI, com menos de 12 horas de evolução, propostos para intervenção coronária percutânea primária, que tivessem sido admitidos num dos 18 centros portugueses com cardiologia de intervenção. Esses dados foram recolhidos durante um mês por ano, entre 2011 e 2015. Modelos de regressão linear univariável e multivariável foram usados para identificar os fatores preditivos do atraso do doente. Não foram observadas diferenças significativas no atraso do doente ao longo do estudo. Na análise multivariável foram identificados cinco fatores preditivos do atraso do doente: idade ≥75 (Exp(beta) 1,28; CI95% 1,10-1,50; p=0,001); desencadear dos sintomas entre as 0:00 e as 8:00 (Exp(beta) 1,26; CI95% 1,10-1,45; p=0,001); primeiro contacto médico efetuado num centro de saúde (Exp(beta) 1,75; CI95% 1,41-2,16; p

Resumo: Objetivos: A mortalidade na mulher após angioplastia primária (ICP‐P) é superior à do homem. Contudo, permanece contraditório o papel do sexo poder ser fator de risco independente para mortalidade no contexto de enfarte agudo do miocárdio com supradesnivelamento de ST (EAMST). Com base no Registo Nacional de Cardiologia de Intervenção (RNCI), pretendemos avaliar como é que o género feminino influencia o prognóstico a curto prazo nos doentes com EAMST submetidos a ICP‐P a nível nacional. Métodos: De 60 158 doentes incluídos prospetivamente no RNCI de 2002‐2012, incluímos na análise 7544 doentes com EAMST tratados por ICP‐P, dos quais 25% foram mulheres. Utilizámos modelos de regressão logística e ajustamento por propensity score para avaliar o impacto do sexo na mortalidade hospitalar. Resultados: As mulheres foram mais idosas (68 ± 14 versus 61 ± 13, p

Introduction and objectives: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with paclitaxel drug-eluting balloons (DEBs) is used mainly for treatment of in-stent restenosis (ISR) and small vessel disease. Our objective was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of this strategy in a multicenter registry. Methods: Between 2009 and 2010 a prospective registry from two centers enrolled 156 consecutive patients undergoing PCI with at least one DEB. A primary composite endpoint of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) (all-cause death, myocardial infarction [MI] and target lesion revascularization [TLR]) was assessed at one year follow-up. Stepwise Cox regression was used to determine independent predictors of outcome. Results: DEBs (n=206) were used to treat 184 lesions. Procedural success was obtained in 98% of patients (n=150). At one-year follow-up, 86% (n=134) were free of the primary endpoint (6% death, 6% non-procedure related MI and 5% TLR). The independent predictors of MACE at one year were index PCI in the left anterior descending artery (HR 2.81, 95% CI 1.21–6.51; p=0.02) and a history of MI (HR 3.46, 95% CI 1.35–8.84; p=0.01). ISR and DEB diameter or length were not predictors of events. Conclusions: PCI with DEBs in real-world patients with complex lesions is effective, with a low rate of MACE, including TLR, at one-year follow-up. The results are equally good whether the intervention is for ISR or for native coronary disease. Resumo: Introdução e objectivos: A intervenção coronária percutânea (ICP) com balão eluidor de fármaco (DEB) tem vindo a ser utilizada no tratamento da reestenose intra-stent (RIS) e na doença coronária de pequenos vasos. O objectivo foi avaliar a eficácia clínica desta estratégia num registo multicêntrico. Métodos: Registo prospetivo de dois centros com 156 doentes (dts) consecutivos incluídos, entre 2009 e 2010, submetidos a ICP com pelo menos um balão DEB. Definiu-se como endpoint primário a ocorrência combinada (MACE) de todas as causas de morte, EAM e revascularização da lesão alvo (TLR) a um ano de seguimento. Determinou-se os preditores independentes de prognóstico através da análise de regressão de Cox. Resultados: Foram tratadas 184 lesões com 206 DEB. O sucesso do procedimento foi obtido em 98% (150 dts). A um ano de seguimento, a sobrevida livre de endpoint composto ocorreu em 134 dts e foi de 86% (morte em 6%, EAM em 6% e TLR em 5%). Os preditores independentes de MACE foram a ICP na artéria descendente anterior (HR 2,81, 95% IC 1,21-6,51, p = 0,02) e história prévia de EAM (HR 3,46, 95% IC 1,35-8,84, p = 0,01). O diâmetro ou comprimento do DEB e a RIS não foram preditores de eventos. Conclusões: A ICP com DEB em dts do mundo real e neste cenário complexo de lesões, é eficaz com baixa taxa de MACE a um ano de seguimento, incluindo TLR. Os resultados são igualmente bons se a intervenção é no contexto de RIS ou na doença coronária de novo.

The major limitation of long-term survival after cardiac transplantation is allograft vasculopathy, which consists of concentric and diffuse intimal hyperplasia. The disease still has a significant incidence, estimated at 30% five years after cardiac transplantation. It is a clinically silent disease and so diagnosis is a challenge. Coronary angiography supplemented by intravascular ultrasound is the most sensitive diagnostic method. However, new non-invasive diagnostic techniques are likely to be clinically relevant in the future. The earliest possible diagnosis is essential to prevent progression of the disease and to improve its prognosis. A new nomenclature for allograft vasculopathy has been published in July 2010, developed by the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT), establishing a standardized definition. Simultaneously, the ISHLT published new guidelines standardizing the diagnosis and management of cardiac transplant patients. This paper reviews contemporary concepts in the pathophysiology, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of allograft vasculopathy, highlighting areas that are the subject of ongoing research. Resumo: A principal limitação da sobrevida a longo prazo após-transplante cardíaco é a doença vascular do aloenxerto que consiste na hiperplasia concêntrica e difusa da íntima arterial. A doença continua a ter uma incidência significativa estimada em 30% aos 5 anos pós-transplante cardíaco. Por ser uma doença clinicamente silenciosa, o seu diagnóstico é um desafio. A angiografia coronária complementada pela ecografia intravascular é o método de diagnóstico mais sensível. No entanto, novas técnicas de diagnóstico não invasivas podem vir a ter relevância clínica no futuro. O seu diagnóstico, o mais precocemente possível, é essencial de forma a permitir atrasar a progressão da doença a fim de melhorar o seu prognóstico. Em Julho de 2010, foi publicada uma nova nomenclatura recomendada para a vasculopatia do aloenxerto, elaborada pela Internacional Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) e que permite uma uniformização da definição. Em simultâneo, foram publicadas as novas recomendações da ISHLT que procuram uma uniformização no diagnóstico e no manejo destes doentes. Este artigo faz uma revisão dos conceitos atuais da fisiopatologia, diagnóstico, prevenção e tratamento da vasculopatia do aloenxerto, realçando áreas em investigação.

Resumo: A origem anómala das artérias coronárias constitui um importante desafio clínico pela variabilidade anatómica, possíveis repercussões funcionais, mecanismos fisiopatológicos implicados e também pela ausência de grandes séries na literatura que forneçam sólida evidência científica para a sua orientação clínica e terapêutica.Os autores descrevem o caso de um doente de 55 anos, com antecedentes de hipertensão, dislipidemia e atrofia congénita da perna esquerda, que se apresentou com quadro de dor retroesternal atípica com um ano de evolução. Tendo em conta os fatores de risco cardiovasculares e exames complementares de diagnóstico previamente realizados, considerou-se ser um doente com probabilidade baixa a intermédia de doença coronária. Assim, e pela sua limitação funcional, realizou angioTC cardíaca que revelou uma origem anómala da coronária esquerda na cúspide coronária direita e com trajeto entre a aorta e a artéria pulmonar. Embora esta seja uma variante anatómica com potencial evolução maligna, optou-se por uma atitude conservadora após ponderação do risco-benefício no contexto clínico deste doente. Abstract: Anomalous origin of coronary arteries represents a clinical challenge not only because of the anatomical variability, but also the possible functional consequences, pathophysiological mechanisms involved and the absence of large series in the literature that would provide evidence for clinical and therapeutic orientation.The authors describe the case of a 55-year-old male patient with a long history of atypical chest pain who was considered to have a low to intermediate likelihood of coronary artery disease. Therefore, and also bearing in mind his physical limitations (congenital left leg atrophy), he was referred for cardiac CT to rule out coronary artery disease. The exam showed a left coronary artery arising from the right coronary cusp and with an interarterial course, between the aorta and pulmonary trunk. Although this is a potentially malignant anatomical variant with surgical indication, a conservative approach was chosen, considering the late diagnosis and particular risk-benefit profile.

Resumo: A biópsia endomiocárdica continua a ser o principal método de monitorização da rejeição em recetores de transplante cardíaco. No entanto, este procedimento pode estar associado, ainda que raramente, a complicações potencialmente graves.Descreve-se o caso de um doente com enfarte anterior extenso não revascularizado, com evolução em choque cardiogénico e necessidade de transplante cardíaco. Na fase pós-transplante é detetada fístula coronária para o ventrículo direito com aneurisma associado e duas comunicações interventriculares restritivas. Abstract: Endomyocardial biopsy is still the principal method for diagnosing cardiac allograft rejection. However, this procedure can be associated, albeit rarely, with potentially serious complications.We describe the case of a patient with extensive anterior myocardial infarction without revascularization, who developed cardiogenic shock and required heart transplantation. Post-transplantation, a coronary artery fistula to the right ventricle associated with an aneurysm and two restrictive ventricular septal defects were detected.
