Incidência de acidente vascular encefálico e insuficiência renal aguda em pacientes com fibrilação atrial no pós-operatório de cirurgia de revascularização do miocárdio / Incidence of stroke and acute renal failure in patients of postoperative atrial fibrillation after myocardial revascularization

INTRODUÇÃO: A fibrilação atrial pós-operatória é a arritmia mais comum em cirurgia cardíaca; estima-se sua incidência entre 20% e 40%. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a incidência de acidente vascular encefálico e insuficiência renal aguda nos pacientes que apresentaram fibrilação atrial no pós-operatório de cirurgia de revascularização miocárdica. MÉTODOS: Estudo coorte longitudinal, bidirecional, realizado no Hospital da Beneficência Portuguesa (SP), com levantamento de prontuários de pacientes submetidos à cirurgia de revascularização miocárdica, de junho de 2009 a julho de 2010. De um total de 3010 pacientes foram retirados 382 pacientes, que apresentavam fibrilação atrial no pré-operatório e/ou cirurgias associadas). O estudo foi conduzido em conformidade com as seguintes resoluções nacionais e internacionais: ICH Harmonized Tripartite Guidelines for Good Clinical Practice - 1996; Resolução CNS196/96; e Declaração de Helsinque. RESULTADOS: Os 2628 pacientes incluídos neste estudo foram divididos em dois grupos: grupo I, que não apresentou fibrilação atrial no pós-operatório, com 2302 (87,6%) pacientes; e grupo II, com 326 (12,4%) que evoluíram com fibrilação atrial no pós-operatório. A incidência de acidente vascular encefálico nos pacientes foi de 1,1% sem fibrilação atrial no pós-operatório vs. 4% com fibrilação atrial no pós-operatório (P<0,001). Insuficiência renal aguda pós-operatória ocorreu em 12% dos pacientes com fibrilação atrial no pós-operatório e 2,4% no grupo sem fibrilação atrial no pós-operatório (P<0,001), ou seja, uma relação 5 vezes maior. CONCLUSÃO: Neste estudo verificou-se alta incidência de acidente vascular encefálico e insuficiência renal aguda nos pacientes com fibrilação atrial no pós-operatório, sendo as taxas maiores que as referidas na literatura.

INTRODUCTION: Postoperative atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia in cardiac surgery, its incidence range between 20% and 40%. OBJECTIVE: Quantify the occurrence of stroke and acute renal insufficiency after myocardial revascularization surgery in patients who had atrial fibrillation postoperatively. METHODS: Cohort longitudinal bidirectional study, performed at Portuguese Beneficent Hospital (SP), with medical chart survey of patients undergoing myocardial revascularization surgery between June 2009 to July 2010. From a total of 3010 patients were weaned 382 patients that presented atrial fibrillation preoperatively and/or associated surgeries. The study was conducted in accordance with national and international following resolutions: ICH Harmonized Tripartite Guidelines for Good Clinical Practice - 1996; CNS196/96 Resolution, and Declaration of Helsinki. RESULTS: The 2628 patients included in this study were divided into two groups: Group I, who didn't show postoperative atrial fibrillation, with 2302 (87.6%) patients; and group II, with 326 (12.4%) who developed postoperative atrial fibrillation. The incidence of stroke in patients was 1.1% without postoperative atrial fibrillation vs. 4% with postoperative atrial fibrillation (P<0.001). Postoperative acute renal failure was observed in 12% of patients with postoperative atrial fibrillation and 2.4% in the group without postoperative atrial fibrillation (P<0.001), that is a relation 5 times greater. CONCLUSION: In this study there was a high incidence of stroke and acute renal failure in patients with postoperative atrial fibrillation, with rates higher than those reported in the literature.
