RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: The association of patients with heart failure (HF) and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is strong and related additionally to blood pressure (BP). AIMS: To analyze distinctive clinical profiles among patients with HFpEF both with and without T2DM. METHODS: The study was based on a Spanish National Registry (multicenter and prospective) of patients with HF (DICUMAP), that enrolled outpatients with HF who underwent an ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) and then were followed-up for 1 year. We categorized patients according to the presence/absence of T2DM then building different clusters based on K-medoids algorithm. RESULTS: 103 patients were included. T2DM was present in 44.7%. The patients with T2DM were grouped into two clusters and those without T2DM into three. All patients with T2DM had kidney disease and anemia. Among them, cluster 2 had higher systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure (PP) with a bad outcome (p = 0.03) regarding HF mortality and readmissions, influenced by eGFR (HR 0.93, 95% CI 0.97-0.87, p = 0.04), and hemoglobin (HR 0.65, 95% CI 0.71-0.63, p = 0.03). Among those without T2DM, cluster 3 had a pathological ABPM pattern with the highest PP, cluster 4 was slightly similar to cluster 2, and cluster 5 expressed a more benign pattern without differences on both, HF mortality and readmissions. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with HFpEF and T2DM expressed two different profiles depending on neurohormonal activation and arterial stiffness with prognostic implications. Patients without T2DM showed three profiles depending on ABPM pattern, kidney disease and PP without prognostic repercussion.

Objetivo: diferentes estudios señalan que la consecución de una mayor hemoconcentración en pacientes ingresados por insuficiencia cardiaca (IC) aguda mejora el pronóstico a lo largo del año siguiente al episodio índice. El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar si el grado de hemoconcentración a los 3 meses tras el ingreso por IC también tiene valor pronóstico de reingreso y/o mortalidad en los 12 meses siguientes al ingreso. Pacientes y método: cohorte prospectiva multicéntrica de 1.659 pacientes con IC. El grupo hemoconcentración (305 pacientes) se situó en el cuartil superior de la muestra distribuida en función del aumento de la hemoglobina en el mes 3 tras el alta con respecto a la hemoglobina en el ingreso por IC. Resultados: seguimiento medio hasta el primer evento fue de 294 días, fallecieron 487 pacientes y reingresaron 1.125. El grupo hemoconcentración mostró un riesgo menor de mortalidad o de reingreso por cualquier causa (RR=0,75; IC 95%: 0,51-1,09 y RR=0,86; IC 95%: 0,70-1,05), si bien la significación estadística se perdió tras el análisis multivariado. Sin embargo, esta significación se mantuvo para otros factores con reconocido efecto negativo sobre el pronóstico en pacientes con IC, como son la edad y la clase funcional. Conclusiones: el grado de hemoconcentración a los 3 meses tras el ingreso por IC no tiene valor pronóstico de reingreso o muerte en el año siguiente
Objective: several studies have reported that a higher degree of hemoconcentration in patients admitted for the treatment of acute heart failure (HF) constitutes a favorable prognostic factor in the year following the index episode. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether the highest degree of hemoconcentration at 3 months after admission for HF is also a prognostic factor for mortality and/or readmission in the 12 months after admission. Patients and method: the hemoconcentration group was the upper quartile of the sample distributed according to hemoglobin increase at month 3 after discharge with respect to hemoglobin at the time of admission for HF in a multicenter prospective cohort of 1,659 subjects with HF. Results: the mean follow-up until the first event was 294 days, and a total of 487 deaths and 1,125 readmissions were recorded. The hemoconcentration group had a lower risk of mortality or readmission for any cause (RR=0.75, 95% CI: 0.51-1.09 and RR=0.86, 95% CI: 0.70-1.05), although statistical significance was lost after multivariate analysis, while it was retained for other factors with recognized negative impact on the prognosis of patients with HF, such as age and functional class. Conclusions: the degree of hemoconcentration at 3 months after admission for HF is not prognostic of readmission or death in the subsequent year

RESUMO
El déficit de hierro en los pacientes con insuficiencia cardiaca es un problema médico que últimamente suscita un interés particular. Esto se debe a la publicación de varios ensayos clínicos que demuestran que la administración de hierro intravenoso en estos pacientes mejora su capacidad funcional, e incluso reduce los ingresos por descompensación de insuficiencia cardiaca. Sin embargo, la aplicación de la evidencia aportada por estos estudios en la práctica clínica es aún controvertida, tanto en los criterios diagnósticos del déficit de hierro, absoluto y funcional, como en la forma óptima de reposición del hierro. Este artículo es un documento de consenso que integra las recomendaciones de las Sociedades Españolas de Medicina Interna y Cardiología en el que se revisa la evidencia científica y se propone un protocolo de actuación diagnóstica y terapéutica del déficit de hierro en la insuficiencia cardiaca (AU)
Iron deficiency in patients with heart failure is a medical problem of recent particular interest. This interest has resulted from the publication of several clinical trials that demonstrated that the administration of intravenous iron to such patients improved their functional capacity and even reduced the number of hospitalisations for heart failure decompensation. However, applying the evidence from these studies in clinical practice is still controversial, both in terms of the diagnostic criteria for iron deficiency (absolute and functional) and the optimal method for iron replenishment. This article is a consensus document that integrates the recommendations of the Spanish Society of Internal Medicine and the Spanish Society of Cardiology. The article reviews the scientific evidence and proposes a diagnostic and therapeutic performance protocol for iron deficiency in heart failure (AU)

La anemia es una de las comorbilidades más frecuentes en los pacientes con insuficiencia cardiaca crónica descompensada que ingresan en los servicios de Medicina Interna. Sin embargo, aunque existen evidencias que avalan su corrección para mejorar la capacidad funcional de estos pacientes y reducir su tasa de reingreso, las guías de práctica clínica no dan directrices sobre su abordaje. Constituye un problema clínico idóneo para el internista por su origen multifactorial y la visión integradora necesaria para abordar la conjunción de síndromes que se dan en estos pacientes (anemia, insuficiencia cardiaca, síndromes geriátricos, diabetes ). La elección de la estrategia de tratamiento en el caso de decidir hacerlo, debe iniciarse tras corregir los signos congestivos en el paciente ambulatorio con tratamiento óptimo de la insuficiencia cardiaca(AU)
Anemia is one of the most common comorbidities in patients with decompensated chronic heart failure admitted to the Internal Medicine Ward. However, although there is evidence supporting its treatment to improve the functional capacity of the patients and to reduce the new admissions rate, the clinical practice guidelines do not provide any directives regarding its approach. This is an ideal clinical problem for the internist due to its multifactorial origin and the comprehensive point of view needed to approach the group of syndromes that occur in these patients (anemia, heart failure, geriatric syndromes, diabetes, etc.) The choice of treatment strategy, if such treatment is decided, should always begin after correcting the congestive signs in the outpatient with optimal treatment of heart failure(AU)

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: There is a great variability in the prevalence of anemia in heart failure (HF) according to cohort based studies where the majority of patients have depressed left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Our study has aimed to evaluate the prevalence of anemia in HF within the usual hospital clinical practice. METHODS: An initial analysis was made of a prospective cohort of inpatients with HF admitted during 3 months in 15 Internal Medicine Services including all health system levels. We used the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria to define anemia (hemoglobin [Hb] < 12 g/l in women and < 13 g/l in men) and a value > or = 45% as preserved LVEF. RESULTS: A total of 391 patients with an average age of 77.9 +/- 9.4; 239 women (61.1%). The 52.7% of the cases had anemia. Regarding multiple associated factors to anemia in the bivariant analysis, the regression model indicated the following variables: preserved LVEF (odds ratio [OR] 3.03), not being HF debut (OR 1.85), glomerular filtration (OR 0.97), functional class III-IV of the New York Heart Association (NYHA) (OR 0.53), arterial vascular disease (OR 0.41), antiaggregant treatment (OR 0.56) and treatment with nitrites (OR 0.48). CONCLUSION: Prevalence of anemia in HF is very high in usual clinical practice, that most frequently occurs in subjects with preserved LVEF.

La evolución de los modelos de gestión de los centros sanitarios ha sido impulsada en muchas ocasiones por un cambio inicial en su dirección y paralelamente a un aumento en su área de competencia empresarial. Este sistema de promover el cambio está sujeto al riesgo de frenar y desmotivar al equipo humano responsable de la consecución de unos buenos resultados en el producto final del sector sanitario. Existen signos y síntomas en las organizaciones que permiten detectar la separación de intereses entre directivos y no directivos para evitar la evolución a una organización no eficiente
The evolution of management models in the health care centers has often been motivated by an initial change in the head manager of the site and parallelly to an increase in their area of business interest. This way of promoting change is subjected to the risk of detaining and discouraging the human team responsible for attaining good results in the final product of the health care sector. There are signs and symptoms in the organization that make it possible to detect the separation of interests between directors and non-directors in order to avoid an evolution to a non-efficient organization

Muscular metastases are unusual. Primary neoplasm use to be breast or lung, although any neoplastic process can have muscular metastatic potential. The usual location in psoas and paravertebral muscles. For its diagnosis we need a high index of suspicion, and can be helpful, electromyography and magnetic nuclear resonance. The follow up of a patient with colon adenocarcinoma and muscular metastases and a review of the subject is presented.
