RESUMO

Excimer Laser Coronary Atherectomy (ELCA) is a well-established therapy that emerged for the treatment of peripheral vascular atherosclerosis in the late 1980s, at a time when catheters and materials were rudimentary and associated with the most serious complications. Refinements in catheter technology and the introduction of improved laser techniques have led to their effective use for the treatment of a wide spectrum of complex coronary lesions, such as thrombotic lesions, severe calcific lesions, non-crossable or non-expandable lesions, chronic occlusions, and stent under-expansion. The gradual introduction of high-energy strategies combined with the contrast infusion technique has enabled us to treat an increasing number of complex cases with a low rate of periprocedural complications. Currently, the use of the ELCA has also been demonstrated to be effective in acute coronary syndrome (ACS), especially in the context of large thrombotic lesions.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The distribution and magnitude of left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy are not uniform in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), which results in regional heterogeneity of LV systolic and diastolic function. The aim of the study was to evaluate LV regional systolic asynchrony in patients with HCM by pulsed Doppler myocardial imaging (DMI). METHODS: We studied 35 HCM patients and 45 age- and sex-matched controls. By the use of DMI, the following five different basal myocardial segments were measured: systolic peak velocity (Sm); early- and late-diastolic peak velocities; pre-contraction time (Q-Sm) (from the beginning of Q-wave of ECG to the onset of Sm); intraventricular systolic delay (IntraV-Del) (difference of Q-Sm in different LV myocardial segments); interventricular delay (InterV-Del) (difference of Q-Sm between the most delayed LV segment and right ventricular lateral wall). RESULTS: DMI analysis showed in HCM lower myocardial systolic and early-diastolic peak velocities of all the analyzed segments. As for time intervals, controls showed homogeneous systolic activation of the ventricular walls. Conversely, HCM group, despite the absence of intraventricular conduction defects by surface ECG, showed significant both Inter- and IntraV-Del (P < 0.0001). Linear regression models pointed out independent positive associations of IntraV-Del with LV outflow gradient and septal wall thickness in HCM (P < 0.001). An IntraV-Del >30 msec well differentiated controls and HCM. In addition, an IntraV-Del > 45 msec (ROC curve) identified a subgroup of HCM patients with nonsustained ventricular tachycardia during Holter monitoring (90.9% sensitivity and 95.8% specificity). CONCLUSIONS: The impairment of intrarventricular systolic synchronicity is strongly related to increased septal thickness and LV outflow-tract gradient in HCM. DMI analysis may be able to select subgroups of HCM patients at an increased risk of ventricular tachyarrhythmias.

RESUMO

The authors report the case of a 77-year-old woman suffering from ischemic cardiopathy, arterial hypertension and NID diabetes mellitus who was hospitalised for diabetic retinopathy. Following the topical administration of a drop of phenylephrine in the right eye, in preparation for fluoroangiography, she suffered an attack of angina pectoris. This event was clearly identified by a ECG carried out at the time which highlighted the sublevelling of the ST tract in the precordial derivations V2-V5, and by ecocardiographic imaging that showed septo-apical, anterior-apical and anterior-median transient segmentary hypokinesia. This case underlines the need for prudence and emphasises the need to regard patients suffering from ischemic cardiopathy as high-risk when undergoing diagnostic tests, in particular if these involve the use of vasoactive drugs.
