ABSTRACT
Resumen: El infarto agudo de miocardio sin lesiones coronarias obstructivas (MINOCA) es una afección recientemente definida en la práctica cardiológica. Su diagnóstico se basa en la angiografía coronaria, que da inicio a un proceso de búsqueda etiológica muchas veces complejo, pero con importancia pronóstica y terapéutica. Existen diferentes mecanismos involucrados en los MINOCA, que se plantean una vez excluidas la embolia pulmonar, la miocarditis y el síndrome de takotsubo. Se reconoce un patrón epicárdico de MINOCA presente en los casos de disrupción de placa, disección, vasoespasmo, y, eventualmente, embolismo coronario; y un patrón microvascular en casos de espasmo microvascular y embolia coronaria de pequeños vasos. Varias herramientas son útiles en su estudio: ecocardiografía, ventriculografía izquierda, técnicas de imagen intravascular, estudio del flujo coronario y resonancia magnética cardíaca, entre otras. Su uso debe ser guiado por el juicio clínico, y si bien no hay un algoritmo claramente establecido, incorporar todas las herramientas disponibles puede determinar la causa definitiva en algunos pacientes. La presente revisión pretende acercar al cardiólogo clínico información útil para su práctica habitual.
Summary: Acute Myocardial Infarction with Non-Obstructive Coronary Arteries (MINOCA) is a recently defined condition in cardiology practice. The diagnosis starts with coronary angiography that is the beginning of an etiological research process, often complex, but with prognostic and therapeutic importance for each etiology. There are different mechanisms involved in MINOCA, which are posed once pulmonary embolism, myocarditis and takotsubo cardiomyopathy are excluded. It is described an epicardial pattern of MINOCA in cases of plaque disruption, dissection, vasospasm, and eventually coronary embolism; and a microvascular pattern in cases of microvascular spasm and small vessel coronary embolism. Several tools are useful in its study, such as echocardiography, left ventriculography, intravascular imaging techniques, study of coronary flow, and cardiac magnetic resonance, among others. Its use should be guided by clinical criteria. Despite there is no clearly established algorithm in our current practice, it is necessary to incorporate all available tools to approach the definitive MINOCA etiology whenever is possible. The aim of this review is to bring useful information to the clinical cardiologist for his daily practice.
Resumo: O Infarto Agudo do Miocárdio com Artérias Coronárias Não - Obstrutivas (MINOCA) é uma condição recentemente definida na prática cardiológica. O diagnóstico começa com a angiografia coronariana, que é o início de um processo de pesquisa etiológica, muitas vezes complexo, mas com importância prognóstica e terapêutica para cada etiologia. Existem diferentes mecanismos envolvidos no MINOCA, que são colocados uma vez que a embolia pulmonar, miocardite e cardiomiopatia de takotsubo são excluídos. É descrito um padrão epicárdico de MINOCA presente em casos de ruptura de placa, dissecção, vasoespasmo e embolia coronariana; e um padrão microvascular em casos de espasmo microvascular e embolia coronariana de pequenos vasos. Diversas ferramentas são úteis no estudo de MINOCA: ecocardiografia, ventriculografia esquerda, técnicas de imagem intravascular, estudo do fluxo coronariano, ressonância magnética cardíaca, entre outras. O uso destas deve ser guiado pela suspeita clínica e, embora não haja um processo claramente estabelecido em nossa prática atual, é necessário incorporar todas as ferramentas disponíveis para abordar a etiologia definitiva do MINOCA quando isso for possível. A presente revisão tem como objetivo fornecer ao cardiologista clínico informações úteis para sua prática usual.

Resumo: O 34º Congresso Uruguaio de Cardiologia, realizado em Montevidéu entre os dias 2 e 4 de dezembro no ano passado, voltou a destacar-se pelas excelentes apresentações dos temas mais relevantes no campo da cardiologia, bem como por seus renomados convidados, nacionais e internacionais. Acompanhando o grande nível do Congresso, tinham 32 temas livres que cobriam diferentes áreas da cardiologia, dos quais comentaremos quatro artigos premiados: - Risco de trombose na bioprótese aórtica e eventos clínicos de acordo com o uso de anticoagulação. Meta-análise da evidência atual. - Uso de NT-ProBNP como preditor de evolução no pós-operatório de cirurgia cardíaca. - Prevalência de bolsa septal em uma coorte derivada para ecocardiografia transesofágica. - Incidência de troponina T ultrassensível em faixa anormal e sua correlação com a anatomia coronariana em pacientes em avaliação para doença coronariana estável.
ABSTRACT
Resumen: El Congreso Europeo de Cardiología se llevó a cabo en la ciudad de Múnich del 25 al 29 de agosto. Sin duda, uno de los eventos más importantes e innovadores de la comunidad cardiológica reunió a más de 32.000 profesionales, con destacados invitados internacionales y múltiples actividades científicas. Además de las tradicionales presentaciones de estudios, se inauguró un área de Salud Digital: Digital Health Area donde se llevaron a cabo sesiones continuas sobre E-Cardiology, con múltiples presentaciones de apps móviles, telemedicina y tecnología digital tanto para los profesionales como para la comunidad. Se presentaron las nuevas guías europeas sobre Hipertensión Arterial, tan esperadas luego del debate planteado en relación con las guías americanas en 2017. Las pautas europeas se mantendrán dentro del umbral de diagnóstico de 140/90 mmHg y se centrarán en mejorar las tasas de control a través de combinaciones iniciales de dos fármacos antihipertensivos para la mayoría de los pacientes. Realizaremos un breve resumen de algunos de los principales trabajos científicos presentados: - Use of aspirin to reduce risk of initial vascular events in patients at moderate risk of cardiovascular disease: ARRIVE. - Coronary CT Angiography and 5-Year Risk of Myocardial Infarction: The SCOT-HEART Investigators. - Partial Oral Treatment of Endocarditis: POET. - Ticagrelor plus aspirin for 1 month, followed by ticagrelor monotherapy for 23 months vs aspirin plus clopidogrel or ticagrelor for 12 months, followed by aspirin monotherapy for 12 months after implantation of a drug-eluting stent: GLOBAL LEADERS. - One-Year Outcomes after PCI Strategies in Cardiogenic Shock: CULPRIT-SHOCK.
Summary: The European Congress of Cardiology was held at Munich from August 25th to 29th. Undoubtedly one of the most important and innovative events of the cardiology community, it brought together more than 32.000 professionals, with prominent international guests and multiple scientific activities. In addition to the traditional presentations of studies, ESC 2018 inaugurated a: Digital Health Area, where continuous sessions on E-Cardiology were held with multiple presentations of mobile apps, telemedicine and digital technology for both, the professionals and the community. The new european guidelines on Arterial Hypertension, awaited after the discussion related with the American guidelines in 2017, were presented. European blood pressure guidelines will stick with the 140/90 mmHg diagnostic threshold and will focus on improving control rates through initial two-drug antihypertensive combinations for most patients. We will make a brief summary of some of the main scientific trials presented: - Use of aspirin to reduce risk of initial vascular events in patients at moderate risk of cardiovascular disease: ARRIVE. - Coronary CT Angiography and 5-Year Risk of Myocardial Infarction: The SCOT-HEART Investigators. - Partial Oral Treatment of Endocarditis: POET. - Ticagrelor plus aspirin for 1 month, followed by ticagrelor monotherapy for 23 months vs aspirin plus clopidogrel or ticagrelor for 12 months, followed by aspirin monotherapy for 12 months after implantation of a drug-eluting stent: GLOBAL LEADERS. - One-Year Outcomes after PCI Strategies in Cardiogenic Shock: CULPRIT-SHOCK
ABSTRACT
Resumen: La estenosis aórtica severa (EAoS) se asocia a comorbilidad pulmonar en un porcentaje considerable de pacientes, siendo complejo decidir sobre el tratamiento definitivo; al poseer elevado riesgo quirúrgico surgen dudas sobre la futilidad del procedimiento. Con la aparición y el desarrollo del implante percutáneo aórtico transcatéter, la valvuloplastia aórtica con balón (VAB) ha resurgido, se ha modificado y juega un rol central en el manejo de los pacientes con EAoS sintomática de muy alto riesgo por inestabilidad hemodinámica o comorbilidad severa. Se reporta un caso clínico que evidencia la utilidad de la VAB como herramienta diagnóstica y como puente a una terapia definitiva.
Summary: Severe aortic stenosis is associated with pulmonary comorbidity in a significant percentage of patients, being difficult to define the definitive therapy, considering they are high surgical risk patients where doubt about the futility of the procedure arises. With the appearance and development of the transcatheter aortic valve implant, balloon aortic valvuloplasty has re-emerged, has been modified and plays a central role in the management of patients with symptomatic high-risk severe aortic stenosis due to hemodynamic instability or severe comorbidity. We report a clinical case which demonstrates the usefulness of the balloon aortic valvuloplasty as a diagnostic tool and as a bridge to a definitive therapy.
