RESUMEN
Magnetic resonance has become a first-line imaging modality in various clinical scenarios. The number of patients with different cardiovascular devices, including cardiac implantable electronic devices, has increased exponentially. Although there have been reports of risks associated with exposure to magnetic resonance in these patients, the clinical evidence now supports the safety of performing these studies under specific conditions and following recommendations to minimize possible risks. This document was written by the Working Group on Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Cardiac Computed Tomography of the Spanish Society of Cardiology (SEC-GT CRMTC), the Heart Rhythm Association of the Spanish Society of Cardiology (SEC-Heart Rhythm Association), the Spanish Society of Medical Radiology (SERAM), and the Spanish Society of Cardiothoracic Imaging (SEICAT). The document reviews the clinical evidence available in this field and establishes a series of recommendations so that patients with cardiovascular devices can safely access this diagnostic tool.

La resonancia magnética se ha convertido en técnica de imagen de primera línea en muchas situaciones clínicas. El número de pacientes portadores de dispositivos cardiovasculares, como los dispositivos cardiovasculares electrónicos implantables, ha crecido de modo exponencial. Aunque se han descrito complicaciones y efectos adversos cuando estos pacientes se someten a exploraciones de resonancia magnética, la evidencia clínica actual respalda la seguridad de realizar estos estudios cuando se cumplen unas normas y recomendaciones dirigidas a minimizar los posibles riesgos. El Grupo de Trabajo de Cardiorresonancia Magnética y Cardiotomografía Computarizadas de la Sociedad Española de Cardiología (SEC-GT CRMTC), la Asociación del Ritmo Cardiaco de la Sociedad Española de Cardiología (SEC-Asociación del Ritmo Cardiaco de la Sociedad Española de Cardiología), la Sociedad Española de Radiología Médica (SERAM) y la Sociedad Española de Imagen Cardiotorácica (SEICAT) han elaborado el presente documento, que revisa la evidencia disponible en este campo y establece las recomendaciones necesarias para que los pacientes portadores de dispositivos cardiovasculares electrónicos implantables y otros dispositivos puedan acceder con seguridad a este instrumento diagnóstico.(AU)

El diagnóstico y el tratamiento de la valvulopatía mitral y tricuspídea han sufrido unos cambios extraordinarios en los últimos años. La irrupción de las intervenciones percutáneas y la generalización de las nuevas técnicas de imagen han modificado las recomendaciones para el diagnóstico y el tratamiento de estas afecciones. La ingente cantidad de publicaciones y estudios en este campo obliga a una continua actualización de nuestros protocolos. La publicación de la guía de la Sociedad Europea de Cardiología de 2021 sobre el tratamiento de las valvulopatías no cubre algunos aspectos novedosos de estos tratamientos y, además, el número de intervenciones realizadas en los países de nuestro entorno es muy variable, lo que exige una adecuación de las recomendaciones al contexto local. Además, es indispensable un resumen de toda esta información para que se pueda generalizar su uso. Por estos motivos, se considera necesario el posicionamiento común de la Asociación de Cardiología Intervencionista, la Asociación de Imagen Cardiaca, la Asociación de Cardiología Clínica y la Sección de Valvulopatías y Patología Aórtica de la Sociedad Española de Cardiología para el diagnóstico y el tratamiento de la valvulopatía mitral y tricuspídea (AU)
The diagnosis and management of mitral and tricuspid valve disease have undergone major changes in the last few years. The expansion of transcatheter interventions and widespread use of new imaging techniques have altered the recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases. Because of the exponential growth in the number of publications and clinical trials in this field, there is a strong need for continuous updating of local protocols. The recently published 2021 European Society of Cardiology guidelines for the management of valvular heart disease did not include some of the new data on these new therapies and, moreover, the number of mitral and tricuspid interventions varies widely across Europe. Therefore, all this information must be summarized to facilitate its use in each specific country. Consequently, we present the consensus document of the Section on Valvular Disease, Cardiovascular Imaging, Clinical Cardiology, and Interventional Cardiology Associations of the Spanish Society of Cardiology for the diagnosis and management of mitral and tricuspid valve disease (AU)

The effectiveness and safety of macitentan, a dual endothelin-receptor antagonist (ERA) approved for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), were shown in an extensive clinical trial oriented towards morbidity and mortality events. Our aim was to describe a single centre's experience of the utilization of macitentan in patients with PAH in clinical practice settings. Thirteen patients with different aetiologies and previous PAH treatments were studied. After 12 months of macitentan treatment, 11 patients improved their functional class (FC), all patients improved their 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) test, and 10 patients lowered their NT-proBNP plasma levels. Additionally, cardiac imaging parameters were also improved. No cases resulted in hospitalization, septostomy, transplant or death.
RESUMEN
Paravalvular leak (PVL) is a serious complication after surgical valve replacement or after transcatheter aortic valve replacement. Approximately 1-5% of PVLs can lead to serious clinical consequences, including congestive heart failure and/or haemolytic anaemia. For years, surgical re-intervention has been considered the treatment of choice for symptomatic patients with PVLs. However, surgical re-intervention is associated with a high risk of morbidity and mortality. Transcatheter PVL (TPVL) closure is a less invasive alternative to surgical re-intervention. The safety and feasibility of TPVL closure has been confirmed in several registries and a meta-analysis.In this review, we discuss the clinical implications and diagnosis of PVLs, technical considerations for TPVL, execution of the procedure and assessment of the results.
