Abstract

Resumo: A estenose tricúspide (ET) é uma complicação rara da implantação transvenosa de pacemakeres ventriculares, com poucos casos relatados na literatura. Os mecanismos descritos são a obstrução do fluxo ao nível da válvula tricúspide (VT) por vegetações (endocardite), por múltiplos elétrodos ou por fibrose do tecido valvular ou subvalvular secundária a perfuração ou laceração dos folhetos VT ou como resultado da aderência de porções redundantes do eletrocateter aos folhetos e tecido subvalvular. Relatamos 2 casos de ET grave, com etiologia e abordagem terapêutica diferente. O primeiro causado pela perfuração do folheto valvular pelo eletrocateter, resolvido cirurgicamente e o outro, como consequência da adesão de uma ansa formada pelo eletrocateter e o aparelho subvalvular tratado medicamente. Abstract: Tricuspid stenosis (TS) is an uncommon complication of transvenous ventricular pacemaker implantation, with few cases reported in the literature. The mechanisms described are obstruction of right ventricular inflow by tricuspid vegetations (endocarditis), multiple pacemaker leads and tricuspid valve (TV) fibrosis secondary to perforation or laceration of the TV leaflets, or adherence between redundant portions of the lead and valvular and subvalvular tissue. We report two cases of severe TS, with different etiologies and management: one caused by leaflet perforation, resolved surgically, and the other secondary to fusion between a loop of the pacemaker lead and the subvalvular apparatus, which was treated medically.

Abstract

Resumo: O zolmitriptano é um fármaco usado no tratamento agudo da enxaqueca, que, pelo potencial de induzir vasoespasmo, não deve ser utilizado em indivíduos com risco cardiovascular elevado, doença cardíaca isquémica (DCI) e ou história de vasoespasmo coronário. Relatamos o caso raro de um enfarte agudo do miocárdio (EAM) precipitado pela toma de zolmitriptano. Abstract: Zolmitriptan is a drug used in the acute treatment of migraine, which should not be used in high cardiovascular risk individuals because of its potential to induce vasospasm. We report a rare case of myocardial infarction precipitated by taking zolmitriptan.

Abstract

Resumo: O enfarte agudo do miocárdio (EAM), envolvendo isquémia aguda transmural de dois territórios vasculares em simultâneo ou de forma sequencial, é fenómeno bem descrito, que se designa por enfarte combinado ou duplo (ED) mas habitualmente pouco relatado na maioria das séries de doentes admitidos por EAM. A sua rara apresentação está possivelmente relacionada com o facto de o EAM com obstrução de múltiplos vasos major causar lesão miocárdica extensa, impedindo a chegada do doente ao hospital com vida. Especula-se que o ED resulta das condições protrombóticas e inflamatórias globais associadas ao EAM. Abstract: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) involving acute transmural ischemia of two vascular territories at the same time, which is known as double or combined infarction, is a well described phenomenon but rarely reported in most series of patients admitted for AMI. This may be related to the fact that AMI with multiple vessel obstruction often causes extensive myocardial injury and death before the patient arrives at the hospital. It is speculated that double infarction results from the overall prothrombotic and inflammatory conditions associated with AMI.

Abstract

Background Electroanatomic mapping is usually required in order to obtain a precise diagnosis and guide the ablation of atrial tachycardias (ATs) after ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF). However, epicardial connections may limit the interpretation of the endocardial activation sequence as well as the efficacy of endocardial radiofrequency ablation. Case summary A 53-year-old man with history of AF ablation 2 years ago was admitted for ablation of a recurrent AT (cycle length 275 ms). Ultra-high-density mapping with the Rhythmia™ system revealed a challenging activation map with two focal points of early activation in the left atrium. The use of an advanced mapping software allowed the rapid reanalysis and reannotation of the activation map and suggested epicardial involvement of the Marshall bundle (MB). Subsequent ethanol infusion in the vein of Marshall (VOM) immediately terminated the tachycardia. Six months post-ablation, the patient had no recurrence of arrhythmias. Discussion This case highlights the role of novel diagnostic and treatment methods in the management of a post-AF ablation AT. By developments in cardiac mapping systems, the rapid editing of a high-density activation map and clarification of the arrhythmia origin can be facilitated overcoming the limitations of conventional techniques. Moreover, ethanol infusion in the VOM was shown to be an effective alternative method in the management of MB-related tachycardias.

Abstract

BACKGROUND There were gaps between guidelines and practice when surgery was the only treatment for aortic stenosis (AS). OBJECTIVES This study analyzed the decision to intervene in patients with severe AS in the EORP VHD (EURObservational Research Programme Valvular Heart Disease) II survey. METHODS Among 2,152 patients with severe AS, 1,271 patients with high-gradient AS who were symptomatic fulfilled a Class I recommendation for intervention according to the 2012 European Society of Cardiology guidelines; the primary end point was the decision for intervention. RESULTS A decision not to intervene was taken in 262 patients (20.6%). In multivariate analysis, the decision not to intervene was associated with older age (odds ratio [OR]: 1.34 per 10-year increase; 95% CI: 1.11 to 1.61; P = 0.002), New York Heart Association functional classes I and II versus III (OR: 1.63; 95% CI: 1.16 to 2.30; P = 0.005), higher age adjusted Charlson comorbidity index (OR: 1.09 per 1-point increase; 95% CI: 1.01 to 1.17; P = 0.03), and a lower transaortic mean gradient (OR: 0.81 per 10-mm Hg decrease; 95% CI: 0.71 to 0.92; P < 0.001). During the study period, 346 patients (40.2%, median age 84 years, median EuroSCORE II [European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation II] 3.1%) underwent transcatheter intervention and 515 (59.8%, median age 69 years, median EuroSCORE II 1.5%) underwent surgery. A decision not to intervene versus intervention was associated with lower 6-month survival (87.4%; 95% CI: 82.0 to 91.3 vs 94.6%; 95% CI: 92.8 to 95.9; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS A decision not to intervene was taken in 1 in 5 patients with severe symptomatic AS despite a Class I recommendation for intervention and the decision was particularly associated with older age and combined comorbidities. Transcatheter intervention was extensively used in octogenarians. (J Am Coll Cardiol 2021;78:2131-2143) (c) 2021 by the American College of Cardiology Foundation.

Tricuspid stenosis (TS) is an uncommon complication of transvenous ventricular pacemaker implantation, with few cases reported in the literature.The mechanisms described are obstruction of right ventricular inflow by tricuspid vegetations (endocarditis), multiple pacemaker leads and tricuspid valve (TV) fibrosis secondary to perforation or laceration of the TV leaflets, or adherence between redundant portions of the lead and valvular and subvalvular tissue.We report two cases of severe TS, with different etiologies and management: one caused by leaflet perforation, resolved surgically, and the other secondary to fusion between a loop of the pacemaker lead and the subvalvular apparatus, which was treated medically. Resumo: A estenose tricúspide (ET) é uma complicação rara da implantação transvenosa de pacemakeres ventriculares, com poucos casos relatados na literatura. Os mecanismos descritos são a obstrução do fluxo ao nível da válvula tricúspide (VT) por vegetações (endocardite), por múltiplos elétrodos ou por fibrose do tecido valvular ou subvalvular secundária a perfuração ou laceração dos folhetos VT ou como resultado da aderência de porções redundantes do eletrocateter aos folhetos e tecido subvalvular. Relatamos 2 casos de ET severa, com etiologia e abordagem terapêutica diferente. O primeiro causado pela perfuração do folheto valvular pelo eletrocateter, resolvido cirurgicamente e o outro, como consequência da adesão de uma ansa formada pelo eletrocateter e o aparelho subvalvular tratado medicamente.

Abstract

Resumo: O enfarte agudo do miocárdio (EAM), envolvendo isquémia aguda transmural de dois territórios vasculares em simultâneo ou de forma sequencial, é fenómeno bem descrito, que se designa por enfarte combinado ou duplo (ED) mas habitualmente pouco relatado na maioria das séries de doentes admitidos por EAM. A sua rara apresentação está possivelmente relacionada com o facto de o EAM com obstrução de múltiplos vasos major causar lesão miocárdica extensa, impedindo a chegada do doente ao hospital com vida. Especula-se que o ED resulta das condições protrombóticas e inflamatórias globais associadas ao EAM. Abstract: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) involving acute transmural ischemia of two vascular territories at the same time, which is known as double or combined infarction, is a well described phenomenon but rarely reported in most series of patients admitted for AMI. This may be related to the fact that AMI with multiple vessel obstruction often causes extensive myocardial injury and death before the patient arrives at the hospital. It is speculated that double infarction results from the overall prothrombotic and inflammatory conditions associated with AMI.

Abstract

Estimation of individual risk and choice of initial therapeutic approach for patients with pulmonary embolism (PE) remains controversial. The three key components for risk stratification in PE are clinical evaluation, cardiac biomarkers and assessment of right ventricular size and function. The aim of this study was to assess the ability of admission troponin I (TnI) levels to predict short-term mortality and complicated clinical course in patients with PE.We performed a retrospective analysis of 100 consecutive patients admitted with a diagnosis of PE between January 2004 and November 2007. Patients in whom the diagnosis was confirmed by spiral computed tomography, ventilation perfusion scan, pulmonary angiography or echocardiography and with serum TnI measurement in the first 24 hours of hospital stay were selected. The study population (n = 62) was divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of elevated TnI levels (TnIor = 0.10 ng/ml). Clinical characteristics, electrocardiographic and echocardiographic signs of right ventricular dysfunction (RVD), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels, in-hospital mortality and the composite endpoint of complicated PE (defined as the presence of at least one of the following: in-hospital death, cardiogenic shock, need for mechanical ventilation or inotropic support) were compared between groups.Thirty-seven patients (59.7%) had elevated TnI levels (Tpos) and 25 (40.3%) had normal levels (Tneg). The two groups were not significantly different (p = NS) in age (66.2 vs. 71 years), gender (female 70.3 vs. 60.0%), clinical presentation or length of hospital stay (14.7 vs. 18.1 days). Tpos patients had a higher prevalence of electrocardiographic signs of RVD (78.4 vs. 40.0%, p0.01). Echocardiographic RVD was also more common in the Tpos group but the difference did not reach statistical significance (56.0% vs. 27.3%, p = NS). Elevated serum TnI was significantly associated with complicated in-hospital clinical course (complicated PE: 29.7% in the Tpos group vs. 4.0% in the Tneg group (adjusted OR = 9.08; 95% CI 1.07-77.4; p = 0.044). In-hospital mortality was 8.1%, with a strong trend for higher mortality in the Tpos group (13.5% vs. 0%, p = 0.055).Elevated TnI levels are associated with higher risk for in-hospital mortality and complicated clinical course. Additional studies are needed to assess whether troponin levels, alone or in conjunction with other tests, can be used to guide therapeutic strategy and improve the prognosis of patients with PE.
