RESUMO

Abstract Objective: The objective of the study was to establish the prognostic value of CSNRT regarding the necessity for pacemaker implantation in patients with atrial flutter (AFL) post-ablation. Methods: This prospective cohort study, conducted at the National Institute of Cardiology "Ignacio Chavez" in Mexico City, assessed patients who had undergone ablation procedures to correct AFL, posterior to which an autonomic blockade was performed, and CSNRT was measured. Results: The sample for this investigation was 40 patients. These were subdivided into two study groups depending on their requirement of pacemaker implant post-ablation (Pacemaker P, No Pacemaker NP). Sinus node (SN) dysfunction was diagnosed in 13 (32.5%) of the 40 participants, 10 (71.43%) of which required a pacemaker implant, while only 4 participants (28.57%) with normal SN function required pacemakers. Ten out of the 14 patients (71.43%) who required a pacemaker had an elevated CSNRT > 500 ms (p ≤ 0.01). Post-ablation CSNRT mean was 383.54 ms ± 67.96 ms in the NP group versus 1972.57 ms ± 3423.56 ms in the P group. Furthermore, SN pause in the P group had a mean of 1.86 s ± 0.96 s versus the NP group with 1.196 s ± 0.52 s. Conclusion: CSNRT has the potential to be a quantitative prognostic tool for the assessment of future pacemaker implants in patients with AFL post-ablation. This could aid in the timely diagnosis of sinus node dysfunction, which could, in the long run, result in the reduction of cardiac functional capacity loss due to cardiac remodeling.


Resumen Objetivo: Establecer el valor pronóstico del TRNSC basado en la necesidad de marcapasos en pacientes diagnosticados con aleteo atrial, pos-ablación. Métodos: Este cohorte prospectivo, realizado en el Instituto Nacional de Cardiología "Ignacio Chávez" en la Ciudad de México, evaluó pacientes sometidos a ablación para corregir el aleteo atrial; se midió el TRNSC post bloqueo autonómico. Resultados: La muestra de 40 pacientes se subdividió en 2 grupos según su requerimiento de marcapasos posterior a la ablación (P y NP). Se diagnosticó disfunción del nodo sinusal en 13 participantes (32.5%), de los cuales 10 (71.43%) requirieron marcapasos en comparación a 4 (28.57%) con función normal. En el grupo P la pausa del nodo sinusal post-ablación tuvo una media de 1.86 ± 0.96 s versus el grupo NP con 1.196 ± 0.52 s. En relación con el TRNSC, el grupo NP tuvo una media de 383.54 ± 67.96 ms vs. 1972.57 ± 3423.56 ms en el grupo P. 10 pacientes (25%) obtuvieron un TRNSC > 500 ms, de los cuales 100% requirieron marcapasos; de los 14 pacientes que requirieron marcapasos 10 (71.43%) tenían un TRNSC elevado (p ≤ 0.01). Conclusiones: El TRNSC tiene el potencial de ser una herramienta de pronóstico cuantitativo para la necesidad de futuros implantes de marcapasos en pacientes con disfunción del nodo sinusal, resultado de aleteo atrial pos-ablación. Esto podría ayudar a diagnosticar más temprano una disfunción del nodo sinusal, resultando en la reducción de la pérdida a largo plazo de la función cardíaca como efecto de la remodelación.

RESUMO

Abstract Background: In 1996 Iturralde et al. published an algorithm based on the QRS polarity to determine the location of the accessory pathways (AP), this algorithm was developed before the massive practice of invasive electrophysiology. Purpose: To validate the QRS-Polarity algorithm in a modern cohort of subjects submitted to radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA). Our objective was to determinate its global accuracy and its accuracy for parahisian AP. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome who underwent an electrophysiological study (EPS) and RFCA. We employed the QRS-Polarity algorithm to predict the AP anatomical location and we compared this result with the real anatomic location determined in the EPS. To determine accuracy, the Cohen's kappa coefficient (k) and the Pearson correlation coefficient were used. Results: A total of 364 patients were included (mean age 30 years, 57% male). The global k score was 0.78 and the Pearson's coefficient was 0.90. The accuracy for each zone was also evaluated, the best correlation was for the left lateral AP (k of 0.97). There were 26 patients with a parahisian AP, who showed a great variability in the ECG features. Employing the QRS-Polarity algorithm, 34.6% patients had a correct anatomical location, 42.3% had an adjacent location and only 23% an incorrect location. Conclusion: The QRS-Polarity algorithm has a good global accuracy; its precision is high, especially for left lateral AP. This algorithm is also useful for the parahisian AP.


Resumen Antecedentes: En 1996 Iturralde y colaboradores publicaron un algoritmo basado en la polaridad del QRS para determinar la ubicación de las vías accesorias (VA), este algoritmo fue desarrollado antes de la práctica masiva de la electrofisiología invasiva. Objetivo: Validar el algoritmo de la polaridad del QRS en una cohorte moderna de sujetos sometidos a ablación con catéter por radiofrecuencia (ACRF). Nuestro objetivo fue determinar su precisión global y su precisión para las VA parahisianas. Métodos: Realizamos un análisis retrospectivo de pacientes con síndrome de Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) a los que se les realizó estudio electrofisiológico (EEF) y ACRF. Empleamos el algoritmo de la polaridad del QRS para predecir la ubicación anatómica de la VA y comparamos este resultado con la ubicación anatómica real determinada en el EEF. Para determinar la precisión se utilizaron el coeficiente kappa de Cohen (k) y el coeficiente de correlación de Pearson. Resultados: Se incluyeron un total de 364 pacientes (edad media 30 años, 57 % varones). La puntuación k global fue de 0,78 y el coeficiente de Pearson de 0,90. También se evaluó la precisión para cada zona, la mejor correlación fue para las VA laterales izquierdas (k de 0.97). Hubo 26 pacientes con VA parahisianas, que mostraron una gran variabilidad en las características del ECG. Empleando el algoritmo de la polaridad del QRS, el 34,6 % de los pacientes tenía una ubicación anatómica correcta, el 42,3 % tenía una ubicación adyacente y solo el 23 % una ubicación incorrecta. Conclusión: El algoritmo de la polaridad del QRS tiene una buena precisión global; su precisión es alta, especialmente para VA lateral izquierdo. Este algoritmo también es útil para la VA parahisiana.

RESUMO

Evaluation in medical emergencies of COVID-19 patients represents a challenge to regulate preventive and timely management. There are key imaging and laboratory tools to classify the severity. The aim of the study was to evaluate the chest CT score performance and prognostic indices in COVID-19 patients to predict the progression to critical illness. This was a retrospective study between run between April and December 2020, in which 109 patients were included. Patients of any age and gender and who required hospitalization due to a confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis by RT-PCR and chest CT and laboratory were analyzed. In 75% of them, there was at least one comorbidity, and 30% developed critical illness, and the average mortality was 10%. In 49.5%, there was a CORADS-5 on admission, and in 50%, there was a peripheral distribution of the interstitial infiltrate in the left lower lobe. The risk factors were FiO2, CT score > 18, and the NRL index. The combination of the high-risk Quick COVID-19 Severity Index (qCSI) plus CT score > 18 indices was the best prediction index for the development of a critical condition. The combined use of indices in infected COVID-19 patients showed diagnostic accuracy and predicted severity. Imaging and the laboratory tests are key tools independent of the wave of recurrence.

RESUMO

Objective: . To report the results of ventricular tachycardia (VT) catheter ablation in ischemic heart disease (IHD), and to identify risk factors associated with recurrence in a Mexican center. Materials and methods: . We made a retrospective review of the cases of VT ablation performed in our center from 2015 to 2022. We analyzed the characteristics of the patients and those of the procedures separately and we determined factors associated with recurrence. Results: . Fifty procedures were performed in 38 patients (84% male; mean age 58.1 years). Acute success rate was 82%, with a 28% of recurrences. Female sex (OR 3.33, IC 95% 1.66-6.68, p=0.006), atrial fibrillation (OR 3.5, IC 95% 2.08-5.9, p=0.012), electrical storm (OR 2.4, IC 95% 1.06-5.41, p=0.045), functional class greater than II (OR 2.86, IC 95% 1.34-6.10, p=0.018) were risk factors for recurrence and the presence of clinical VT at the time of ablation (OR 0.29, IC 95% 0.12-0.70, p=0.004) and the use of more than 2 techniques for mapping (OR 0.64, IC 95% 0.48-0.86, p=0.013) were protective factors. Conclusions: . Ablation of ventricular tachycardia in ischemic heart disease has had good results in our center. The recurrence is similar to that reported by other authors and there are some factors associated with it.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has generated serious repercussions on the health system, reducing the number of all cardiology procedures worldwide. OBJECTIVES: Describe the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the procedures performed by the electrophysiology department in a national referral center. METHODS: We made a retrospective review of our data base and we compared procedures made in the past 3 years since 2017-2019 with the procedures made in the 2020. We divided the procedures into two large groups: Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices (CIED) related procedures and electrophysiological procedures (EP) which included conventional and complex ablations. RESULTS: There was a significant reduction in all the procedures, the average of procedures performed in the last 3 previous years was 467, while in 2020, we performed only 319 (p = 0.01); this represents a reduction of 33.4% in the total number of procedures. There was no statistical difference regarding the CIED related procedures, the average of procedures in the past 3 previous years was 174, and in 2020 we performed 190 procedures (p = 0.46). Regarding the EP, the average of the past 3 previous years was 293, while in 2020, we performed only 129 procedures (p < 0.01). The reduction in the EP was 55.97%. The most affected months were April, May, and June. CONCLUSIONS: The COVID-19 pandemic considerably affected the number of the procedures in our center, reducing it by 33.4%. The reduction of procedures fundamentally affected the ablations, with a reduction of 55.97%. The number of CIED related procedures was not affected.

RESUMO

Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a frequent arrhythmia; its prevalence is near 2% in the general population; in Mexico, more than one-half million people are affected. AF needs to be considered as a public health problem. Because AF is an independent risk factor associated with mortality, due to embolic events, heart failure, or sudden death; early diagnosis is of utmost importance. In unstable patients with a recent onset of AF, electrical cardioversion should be practiced. In stable patients, once thromboembolic measures have been taken, it is necessary to assess whether it is reasonable to administer an antiarrhythmic drug to restore sinus rhythm or performed electrical cardioversion. For recidivating cases of paroxysmal and persistent presentation, the most effective strategy is performed pulmonary vein isolation with either radiofrequency or cryoballoon energy. Permanent AF is that in which recovery of sinus rhythm is not possible, the distinguishing feature of this phase is the uncontrollable variability of the ventricular frequency and could be treated pharmacologically with atrioventricular (AV) nodal blockers or with a VVIR pacemaker plus AV nodal ablation. The presence of AF has long been associated with the development of cerebral and systemic (pulmonary, limb, coronary, renal, and visceral) embolism. The prevention of embolisms in “valvular” AF should perform with Vitamin K antagonists (VKA). For patients with AF not associated with mitral stenosis or a mechanical valve prosthesis, a choice can be made between anticoagulant drugs, VKA, or direct oral anticoagulants. Antiplatelet agents have the weakest effect in preventing embolism.


Resumen La fibrilación auricular (FA) es una arritmia frecuente; su prevalencia es cercana al 2% en la población general, en México se ven afectados más de medio millón de personas por eso debe considerarse como un problema de salud pública. Debido a que la FA es un factor de riesgo independiente asociado a mortalidad, por eventos embólicos, insuficiencia cardíaca o muerte súbita, la identificación y diagnóstico temprano es de suma importancia. En el inicio reciente de FA en pacientes inestables, se debe practicar la cardioversión eléctrica. En pacientes estables, una vez que se han tomado medidas tromboembólicas, es necesario evaluar si es razonable administrar un medicamento antiarrítmico para restaurar el ritmo sinusal o realizar una cardioversión eléctrica. Para los casos que recidivan, ya sea paroxística o persistente, la estrategia más efectiva es realizar el aislamiento de la venas pulmonares con radiofrecuencia o crioablación con balón. La FA permanente es aquella en la que no es posible la recuperación del ritmo sinusal, la característica distintiva de esta fase de la FA es la variabilidad incontrolable de la frecuencia ventricular. Puede tratarse farmacológicamente con bloqueadores nodales AV o con un marcapasos VVIR mas ablación del nodo AV. La presencia de FA se ha asociado durante mucho tiempo con el desarrollo de embolia cerebral y sistémica (pulmonar, de extremidades, coronaria, renal y visceral). La prevención de embolias en la FA “valvular” debe realizarse con antagonistas de la vitamina K (AVK). Para los pacientes con FA no asociados con estenosis mitral o una prótesis valvular mecánica, se puede elegir entre medicamentos anticoagulantes, AVK o anticoagulantes orales directos (DOAC). Los agentes antiplaquetarios tienen el efecto más débil para prevenir la embolia.
