ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Avaliar freqüência, correlações clínicas e influência prognóstica do potencial tardio no eletrocardiograma de alta resolução, em portadores de insuficiência cardíaca de diferentes etiologias. MÉTODOS: Foi estudado o eletrocardiograma de alta resolução, durante 42 meses, em 288 portadores de insuficiência cardíaca de diferentes etiologias, 215 homens (74,65 por cento) e 73 mulheres (25,35), de idades entre 16 e 70 anos (média 51,5, desvio-padrão 11,24). As etiologias da insuficiência cardíaca foram: cardiomiopatia hipertensiva, 78(27,1 por cento); cardiomiopatia dilatada idiopática, 73(25,4 por cento); cardiomiopatia isquêmica, 65(22,6 por cento); cardiomiopatia da doença de Chagas, 42(14,6 por cento); cardiomiopatia alcoólica, 9(3,1 por cento); cardiomiopatia periparto, 6(2,1 por cento); valvopatias em 2(4,2 por cento) e miocardite viral, 3(1,04 por cento). Foram avaliadas a duração do QRS Standard, duração do QRS filtrado, duração do sinal abaixo de 40æV e a raiz quadrada nos últimos 40ms quanto a idade, sexo, etiologia, achados do eletrocardiograma de repouso de 12 derivações, do ecocardiograma, do eletrocardiograma de longa duração e mortalidade. Para a análise estatística, foram utilizados os testes: exato de Fisher, t de Student, de Man-Whitney, análise de variância, Log-HanK e o método de Kaplan-Meyer. RESULTADOS: O potencial tardio foi diagnosticado em 90 (31,3 por cento) pacientes e não houve correlação com as etiologias. Sua presença associou-se a: menor consumo máximo de oxigênio a cicloergoespirometria (p=0,001); taquicardia ventricular sustentada e não sustentada ao Holter (p=0,001), morte súbita e mortalidade (p<0,05). Houve uma maior sobrevida nos pacientes sem potencial tardio. CONCLUSÃO: A presença de potencial tardio não se associou às etiologias e mostrou-se um marcador de pior prognóstico.


OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the frequency, clinical correlations and prognosis influence of late potentials on the of heart failure patients with different etiologies using the signal averaged electrocardiogram. METHODS: A 42 month study of the signal averaged electrocardiograms of 288 heart failure patients with different etiologies was conducted. The group of patients included 215 males (74.65 percent) and 73 females (25.35 percent) between the ages of 16 and 70 (mean 51.5, standard deviation 11.24). The heart failure etiologies were: hypertensive heart disease (78 patients, 27.1 percent); idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (73 patients, 25.4 percent); ischemic cardiomyopathy (65 patients, 22.6 percent); Chagas disease (42 patients, 14.6 percent); alcoholic cardiomyopathy (9 patients, 3.1 percent); peripartum cardiomyopathy (6 patients, 2.1 percent); valvular heart disease (2 patients, 4.2 percent) and viral myocarditis (3 patients, 1.04 percent). The variables included the duration of the standard QRS complex, duration of the filtered QRS complex, duration of the signal below 40µV and the root mean square of the last 40ms which were analyzed in regard to age, gender, etiology and mortality as well as the findings of the 12-lead electrocardiogram at rest, echocardiogram and ambulatory electrocardiogram. The statistical analysis tests used were: the Fisher exact probability test, Students t-test, Mann Whitney test, variance analysis, Log-Hank and the Kaplan-Meyer method. RESULTS: Late potentials were diagnosed in 90 patients (31.3 percent) and there was no association with the etiologies. The presence of this condition is associated with: a lower maximum oxygen uptake during the ergospirometry (p=0.001); sustained and non-sustained ventricular tachycardia during Holter monitoring (p=0.001), sudden death and mortality (p<0.05). Patients that did not present late potentials had a higher overlife rate. CONCLUSION: The presence of late potentials was not associated with the etiologies and proved to be an indication of a worse prognosis.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Antihypertensive therapy with thiazides decreases coronary events in elderly patients. However, the influence of diuretics on myocardial ischemia has not been fully investigated. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of chlorthalidone and diltiazem on myocardial ischemia. METHODS: Following a randomized, double-blind, crossover protocol, we studied 15 elderly hypertensive patients aged 73.6 + or - 4.6 years with myocardial ischemia. All patients had angiographically documented coronary artery disease. We measured patients using 48- hour ambulatory electrocardiogram monitoring and exercise testing. After a 2-week period using placebo, patients received chlorthalidone or diltiazem for 4 weeks. RESULTS: Both treatments lowered systolic and diastolic blood pressures...

ABSTRACT

Objetivo Avaliar o efeito do diazepam, nifedipina, propranolol e da associação nifedipina e propranolol, por via sublingual, na crise hipertensiva (CH). Métodos Oitenta pacientes em CH, compressão arterial diastólica (PAD) maior de 120mmHg, com idade de 54,0 ± 7,4 anos, sendo 47 homens. A pressão arterial (PA) foi medida com esfigmomanômetro aneróide, em mmHg. com o paciente em posição ortostática, antes do tratamento e 10, 20, 30 e 60 minutos após. A freqüência cardíaca (FC) em um minuto também foi medida nos períodos acima. Os pacientes foram divididos aleatoriamente em 4 grupos e tratados com uma das seguintes alternativas: 110 mg de diazepam; 2 - 10 mg de nifedipina; 340 mg de propranolol e 4 - 10 mg de nidedipina associado a 40 mg de propranolol, todos administra dos por via sublingual. Resultados Observou-se redução significativa e gradativa da pressão arterial sistólica (PAS) e da PAD nos 4 grupos. A porcentagem de redução após 60 minutos, da PAS para os grupos de I a IV foi respectivamente de 10,1%, 12,9%;15,4% e 16%, e para a PAD foi de 7,7%, 11,3%, 13,6% e 13%. A FC manteve-se inalterada nos grupos I e II, com redução significativa nos grupos III (p = 0,002) e IV (p = 0,009)...


Purpose To evaluate the effects of sublingual administration of diazepan, nifedipine, propranolol and the association of nifedipine with propranolol patients with hypertensive crisis. Methods Eighty patients with hypertensive crisis, DAP > 120 mmHg, and mean age of 54 ± 7,4 years, 33 women and 47 men, were evaluated. The AP was measured with an aneroid sphygmomanometer, in mmHg, in orthostatic position, before and after 10, 20, 30 and 60 minutes of treatment. The heart rate in one minute was also measured at the same intervals. The patients were divided randomily into four groups and treated, respectively, with 10 mg of diazepan, 10 mg of nifedipine, 40 mg of propranolol and 10 mg of nifedipine associated with 40 mg of propranolol. Results A significant and gradual reduction of SAP and DAP were observed in all groups of patients. The percentage of reduction, after 60 minutes, for SAP was, respectively, 10.1%, 12.9%.15.4% and 16%, and for DAP 7.7%, 11.3%, 13.6% and 13% in groups I to IV. The heart rate did not change in groups I and II, but significative reduction was observed in groups III (p= 0.002) and IV (p =0.009)...
