ABSTRACT

Introducción: Los pacientes con enfermedad arterial periférica sometidos a cirugía vascular no cardíaca programada presentan un riesgo significativo de complicaciones cardiovasculares, debido a la enfermedad cardíaca sintomática o asintomática subyacente. Objetivo: Valorar el riesgo coronario en los pacientes tributarios de cirugía vascular no cardíaca. Métodos: Estudio descriptivo prospectivo en 35 pacientes del Servicio de Angiología y Cirugía Vascular del Hospital Clínico Quirúrgico Hermanos Ameijeiras. El período de estudio osciló entre octubre de 2013 y mayo de 2016. Las variables cualitativas se expresaron como frecuencias absolutas y relativas. Se evaluó la asociación entre las variables mediante el test de Fischer, se usó el coeficiente de Pearson para relacionar los valores del índice de presiones tobillo brazo y los niveles del calcio score. Resultados: Predominó el sexo masculino y la edad menor de 60 años. El tabaquismo y la hipertensión arterial fueron los factores de riesgo de mayor frecuencia. A pesar de no existir diferencia significativa (p = 0,563) al asociar el calcio score y el índice de presiones tobillo-brazo, sí existió una correlación lineal negativa entre ellos. Las complicaciones perioperatorias presentadas en el grupo de moderado-alto riesgo quirúrgico fueron la fibrilación ventricular, el infarto agudo de miocardio y el paro cardíaco. Conclusiones: La valoración del riesgo coronario es una herramienta útil en la detección de lesiones coronarias significativas que pueden favorecer la aparición de complicaciones perioperatorias en los pacientes que son tributarios de tratamiento quirúrgico revascularizador no cardíaco(AU)


Introduction: Patients with peripheral arterial disease undergoing scheduled non-cardiac vascular surgery present a significant risk of cardiovascular complications due to underlying symptomatic or asymptomatic heart disease. Objective: To assess coronary risk in patients eligible for non-cardiac vascular surgery. Methods: A prospective descriptive study was carried out in 35 patients of the Angiology and Vascular Surgery service in Hermanos Ameijeiras Hospital. The study was conducted between October 2013 and May 2016. Qualitative variables were summarized as absolute and relative frequencies. It was assessed the association between the variables using the Fischer´s test; Pearson´s coefficient was used to relate the values of the index of ankle- arm pressure and the levels of calcium score. Results: Male sex predominated; and ages less than 60 years. Smoking habit and high blood pressure were the most common risk factors. Although there is no significant difference (p= 0,563) when associating the calcium score and the ankle-brachial pressure index, there was a negative linear correlation between them. The peri-operative complications presented in the moderate to high surgical risk group were ventricular fibrillation, acute myocardial infarction and cardiac arrest. Conclusions: Identification of coronary risk is a useful tool in the detection of significant coronary lesions that may favor the emergence of peri-operative complications in patients who are scheduled for non-cardiac revascularization's surgical treatment(AU)

ABSTRACT

Diabetes mellitus interferes with the metabolism of carbohydrates, causing chronic hyperglycemia. Dyslipidemiain diabetes is a condition that leads to cardiovascular disease. This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of hydroalcoholic Prosopis ruscifolia (Pr) leaves extract on hyperglycemia and lipid profile in normo- and hyperglycemicmice. Mice hyperglycemia was induced by alloxan, animals were treated with Pr (50, 100, 200 mg/kg, p.o., 28 days).Fasted blood glucose level on days 7, 14, 21, and 28 was determined. Blood glucose remained within the normalrange in the groups of normoglycemic animals treated with Pr. In the hyperglycemic animals, 100 mg/kg of Pr extractreduced the glycemia, this effect became markedly evident since day 7, until the end of experimental period (p <0.0001), the total reduction reached was 60%. The lipid profile of normal and hyperglycemic mice was evaluated with100 mg/kg, on day 28. A non-significant increase in total cholesterol and low density cholesterol, in hyperglycemicanimals treated with vehicle, and a statistically significant increase (p < 0.0001) in the level of triglyceride and verylow density cholesterol (VLDL) level (p < 0.0001) in normoglycemic animals treated with Pr, compared to the controlgroup were denoted. This could indicate that Pr has a stimulating action on insulin secretion, since hyperinsulinemiais also associated with an increase in the quantity of atherogenic particles of VLDL cholesterol and triglycerides.The coronary risk index and the atherogenic index of hyperglycemic animals treated with Pr showed a reductioncompared with the untreated hyperglycemic ones. The presence of three piperidine alkaloids, juliprosopine, 3’’’’–Oxo-juliprosopine, and julifloridine, previously isolated from P. juliflora, was confirmed. Also, the presence of theflavonoid quercetin was detected in this plant. Those compounds are strong candidates presumably responsible forimparting the effect on glycemia and lipid profile reported here.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: el pronóstico del riesgo coronario a partir de la actividad en la artritis reumatoide constituye un problema aún vigente. Objetivos: evaluar la capacidad predictiva de factor reumatoide, proteína C reactiva, C3-C4 complemento, y el índice de actividad de la enfermedad empleándose 28 articulaciones sobre el riesgo coronario en esta enfermedad Métodos: se realizó un estudio longitudinal-prospectivo en una muestra de 50 pacientes. Los niveles séricos de: factor reumatoide, proteína c reactiva, C3, C4 complemento, lipoproteína(a), apolipoproteínas B y A1 fueron determinados por método inmunoturbidimétrico, mientras Colesterol total, colesterol de lioproteína de baja y alta densidad colesterol por ensayo enzimocolorimétrico. La velocidad de sedimentación globular fue determinada por método de Westergreen. El riesgo coronario se definió según valores deseables, o no, de los indicadores: lipoproteína (a), cocientes Apolipoproteína B/Apolipoproteína A1, colesterol de lipoproteína de baja densidad/colesterol de lipoproteína de alta densidad, Apolipoproteína B/colesterol de lipoproteína de baja densidad e índice aterogénico. Se empleó el programa estadístico SPSS, versión 18.0 para el análisis. Resultados: el perfil de actividad inmunoinflamatoria de la captación mostró adecuada capacidad predictiva sobre el riesgo coronario [regresión logística: Test de Hosmer y Lemeshow: (p= 0,54), porciento global de predicción correcta: 64 y 90 por ciento, al primer y tercer mes]. Las variables C3 complemento, C4 complemento e índice de actividad de la enfermedad contribuyeron a la predicción directa del riesgo coronario según cocientes Apolipoproteína B/Apolipoproteína A1, colesterol de lipoproteína de baja densidad/colesterol de lipoproteína de alta densidad e índice aterogénico (p asociada al Odds ratio ≤ 0,05). Los marcadores del metabolismo lipoproteico estudiados, excepto el cociente Apolipoproteína B/colesterol de lipoproteína de baja densidad, correspondientes al mes y tercer mes de seguimiento fueron pronosticados a partir de C4, C3 complemento, índice de actividad de la enfermedad y proteína C reactiva al momento de la captación (regresión lineal: R2 con p asociada ≤ 0,05). El factor reumatoide no contribuyó a la predicción longitudinal del riesgo coronario estudiado. Conclusiones: se demostró la utilidad del perfil de marcadores de actividad de la artritis reumatoide analizados en la predicción del riesgo coronario(AU)


Introduction: the prognosis of coronary risk from the activity in rheumatoid arthritis is still a problem. Objectives: to evaluate the predictive capacity of rheumatoid factor, C-reactive protein, C3-C4 complement, and the activity index of the disease using 28 joints on coronary risk in this disease Methods: a longitudinal-prospective study was carried out in a sample of 50 patients. The serum levels of: rheumatoid factor, c-reactive protein, C3, C4 complement, lipoprotein (a), apolipoproteins B and A1 were determined by immunoturbidimetric method, while total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and high-density cholesterol by enzyme-correlated assay. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate was determined by the Westergreen method. Coronary risk was defined according to desirable values, or not, of the indicators: lipoprotein (a), Apolipoprotein B / Apolipoprotein A1 ratios, low density lipoprotein cholesterol / high density lipoprotein cholesterol, Apolipoprotein B / low lipoprotein cholesterol density and atherogenic index. The statistical program SPSS, version 18.0 was used for the analysis. Results: the profile of immunoinflammatory activity of the uptake showed adequate predictive capacity on coronary risk [logistic regression: Hosmer and Lemeshow test: (p = 0.54), overall percentage of correct prediction: 64 and 90 percent, to the first and third month]. The variables C3 complement, C4 complement and index of disease activity contributed to the direct prediction of coronary risk according to the Apolipoprotein B / Apolipoprotein A1, low density lipoprotein cholesterol / high density lipoprotein cholesterol and atherogenic index (p associated with Odds ratio ≤ 0.05). The lipoprotein metabolism markers studied, except for the Apolipoprotein B / low density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio, corresponding to the month and third month of follow-up were predicted from C4, C3 complement, disease activity index and C-reactive protein at the time of the uptake (linear regression: R2 with associated p≤0.05). The rheumatoid factor did not contribute to the longitudinal prediction of coronary risk studied. Conclusions: the usefulness of the profile of activity markers of rheumatoid arthritis analyzed in the prediction of coronary risk was demonstrated(AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción: el infarto con elevación del segmento ST es uno de los diagnósticos más frecuentes de los ingresos en unidades de cuidados intensivos en cualquier institución de salud cubana. Objetivo: analizar los principales factores de riesgo relacionados con el infarto agudo del miocardio y sus complicaciones intrahospitalarias, así como los predictores de estas complicaciones. Métodos: estudio descriptivo, longitudinal y prospectivo desde 2013 hasta 2016 que incluyó a 272 pacientes consecutivos que ingresaron en la Unidad de Cuidados Coronarios Intensivos del Hospital Militar Central Dr. Carlos J. Finlay con el diagnóstico de infarto agudo de miocardio con elevación del segmento ST. Resultados: La edad media fue de 63,4 ± 11,7 años, predominó el sexo masculino (61,8 por ciento). Los principales factores de riesgo: hipertensión arterial y tabaquismo (66,5 por ciento en ambos casos). Del total de pacientes, 109 sufrieron complicaciones intrahospitalarias, la angina postinfarto fue la más frecuente (34,9 por ciento). El shock cardiogénico y las complicaciones mecánicas se asociaron significativamente con la mortalidad intrahospitalaria (p = 0,007 y p < 0,001, respectivamente). La edad ≥ 60 años, la clase funcional Killip-Kimball ≥ II y la no realización de intervención coronaria percutánea constituyeron factores pronósticos de eventos adversos durante el ingreso. Conclusiones: las complicaciones intrahospitalarias del infarto agudo de miocardio con elevación del segmento ST no son frecuentes. Existen factores pronóstico de complicaciones como la edad avanzada, clase funcional Killip-Kimball ≥ II y la no realización del intervención coronaria percutánea(AU)

Objective: Analyze the principal risk factors related with the acute myocardial infarction and its complications in the admission, as well as these complications predictors. Method: A descriptive, prospective study was conducted in 272 consecutive patients who were admitted in Coronary Intensive Care Unit of Dr. Carlos J. Finlay Central Military Hospital. ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction was their diagnosis. They period studied was from September 2013 to August 2016. Results: The patients` median age was 63.4 ± 11.7 years, and 168 (61.8 percent were male. The main risk factors were hypertension and smoking (66.5 percent in both cases). One hundred nine (109) patients suffered complications in hospital; the post-infarct angina was the most frequent (34.9 percent). The association among cardiogenic shock and mechanical complications with mortality was significant (p< 0.007 and p< 0.001, respectively). Independent associations were found between age ? 60 years, the Killip-Kimball functional classification ? II, non-performing percutaneous coronary intervention were prognostic factors for adverse events during admission. Conclusions: The complications of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction during hospital admittance are not frequent. There are prognosis factors of complications like advanced age, functional Killip-Kimball classification ? II and non-performing percutaneous coronary intervention(AU)

ABSTRACT

This study was a prospective clinical trial to investigate the effects of adding combined tocotrienol-tocopherol mixed fraction (TTMF) and vitamin C (TTMF+C) supplementation on coronary biomarkers in non-statin and statin treated patients with hypercholesterolaemia (HC) with moderate coronary risk. A total of 35 patients were randomised at baseline into one of two groups, (G1) TTMF+C (320mg TTMF plus 500mg vitamin C) alone daily and (G2) TTMF+C (320mg TTMF plus 500mg vitamin C) plus atorvastatin 10 mg daily. The entire supplementation were taken for 12 months. Fasting serum samples were taken at baseline, 2weeks, 3months, 6months and 12months post-randomisation and analysed for inflammatory biomarkers; high sensitivity C- reactive protein (hsCRP) and interleukin-6 (IL6). Combination of TTMF and vitamin C supplementation leads to neutral effects on lipid profiles and inflammation; with no added benefit in statin-treated HC patients with moderate coronary risk. This neutral effects may be attributed to the tocopherol composition in TTMF which could possibly attenuate any potential beneficial effects of tocotrienols. Clinical studies using pure tocotrienols in the absence of tocopherols would further confirm this.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN: el factor reumatoide ha sido el autoanticuerpo más asociado a la artritis reumatoide. A pesar de los avances logrados en el conocimiento de su patogenia, el análisis de la relación entre este anticuerpo y marcadores de riesgo coronario no ha sido agotado en esta enfermedad. OBJETIVOS: evaluar la asociación del factor reumatoide con los marcadores de riesgo coronario lipoproteína (a), índices apolipoproteína B/apolipoproteína A1, LDL/HDL colesterol, Apolipoproteína B/LDL colesterol e índice aterogénico; así como el valor predictivo de dicho anticuerpo sobre estos marcadores. MÉTODOS: se realizó un estudio observacional analítico y transversal en una muestra de pacientes portadores de artritis reumatoide y controles, aparente sanos, de la provincia de Matanzas, en el período junio/2011 a marzo/2014. El programa estadístico SPSS fue empleado para el análisis de los resultados. RESULTADOS: el factor reumatoide mostró asociación con los índices aterogénico, LDL/HDL colesterol y Apolipoproteína B/LDL colesterol; utilidad para estimar los dos primeros, y valor predictivo sobre el índice aterogénico independiente de los marcadores de actividad de la enfermedad: proteína c reactiva, C3 complemento, C4 complemento, y DAS28 en pacientes con la variedad seropositiva para éste autoanticuerpo [r de Pearson = 0,632; 0,345; (-) 0,359; R2= 0,406; 0,119 (p < 0,05), al respecto]. CONCLUSIONES: la presente investigación demostró relación, valor predictivo, y posible estratificación del riesgo coronario indirecto, a partir del título sérico de factor reumatoide IgM en pacientes con artritis reumatoide seropositiva; y motiva a profundizar el estudio de igual problema científico con autoanticuerpos asociados a enfermedades autoinmunes relacionadas con elevada morbimortalidad cardiovascular.


INTRODUCTION: rheumatoid factor is the autoantibody most commonly associated with rheumatoid arthritis. Despite the considerable progress achieved in the study of its pathogenesis, further analysis is required of the relationship between this antibody and coronary risk markers. OBJECTIVES: evaluate the association between rheumatoid factor and the coronary risk markers lipoprotein(a), apolipoprotein B / apolipoprotein A1, LDL / HDL cholesterol, apolipoprotein B / LDL cholesterol, and atherogenic index, as well as the predictive value of this antibody with respect to such markers. METHODS: an observational cross-sectional analytical study was conducted of a sample of patients with rheumatoid arthritis and apparently healthy controls from the province of Matanzas from June 2011 to March 2014. Results were analyzed with the statistical software SPSS. RESULTS: rheumatoid factor showed an association with atherogenic indices, LDL / HDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein B / LDL cholesterol, as well as usefulness to estimate the first two and predictive value for the atherogenic index irrespective of markers of disease activity: C-reactive protein, C3 complement, C4 complement and DAS28 in patients seropositive for this autoantibody [Pearson r = 0.632; 0.345; (-) 0.359; R2= 0.406; 0.119 (p < 0.05), respectively]. CONCLUSIONS: the study showed the relationship, predictive value and possible indirect stratification of coronary risk based on the serum levels of rheumatoid factor IgM in patients with seropositive rheumatoid arthritis. Further examination should be conducted of this scientific problem in reference to autoantibodies associated with autoimmune diseases of high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

INTRODUCCIÓN: el dolor torácico agudo es la sensación álgida que se manifiesta en el tórax, entre el diafragma y la base del cuello; se destaca el extracardíaco, el cardíaco y los de origen no determinado; puede ser traumático o de otras causas. OBJETIVO: identificar el perfil etiológico y estratificación del riesgo de pacientes con dolor torácico agudo. MÉTODOS: estudio descriptivo longitudinal tipo serie de casos. Se estudió una muestra de 634 pacientes que acudieron a la consulta de cardiología del Hospital Militar Holguín con dolor torácico entre enero y diciembre de 2011. RESULTADOS: el dolor torácico tuvo una incidencia de 60 por cada 100 pacientes. Inicialmente pudieron identificarse el 59 % de los pacientes con dolor torácico coronario, y mediante el seguimiento clínico y estudios complementarios se pudo definir el resto de los casos que ascendió al 66 %. La escala de los factores de riesgo coronario (de 3 a 5 puntos) identificó el 93 %. Se determinó la etiología del dolor en 58 pacientes de los 115 con diagnóstico inicial del dolor de origen indeterminado; en el 13,9 % fue imposible determinarla. En la estratificación del riesgo, los pacientes con riesgo entre intermedio y alto para enfermedad aterosclerótica fueron los que presentaron dolor coronario para un 57,8 % y 27,6 % respectivamente. CONCLUSIÓN: la etiología del dolor en los pacientes con origen no determinado del dolor es coronaria. La incidencia de casos con dolor torácico agudo en el servicio de consulta externa es alta


INTRODUCTION: acute chest pain (ACP) is manifested by peak feeling in the chest, between the diaphragm and the base of the neck. This pain can be extracardiac, heart or undetermined origin; it can be traumatic or by other causes. OBJECTIVE: to identify the etiologic profile and risk stratification of patients with acute chest pain. METHODS: a longitudinal descriptive study was conducted on case. 634 patients were studied. They had chest pain and they attended the cardiology service at Holguin Military Hospital from January to December 2011. RESULTS: chest pain had an incidence of 60 per 100 patients. Initially 59 % were identified in patients with coronary chest pain, and the rest of the cases could be defined by clinical follow-up studies and amounted 66 %. The scale of the coronary risk factors (3 to 5 points) identified 93 %. The etiology of pain was determined in 58 out of 115 patients with an initial diagnosis of undetermined-origin pain; 13.9 % was impossible to determine. In risk stratification, patients with intermediate to high risk for atherosclerotic disease were those with coronary pain which represents 57.8 % and 27.6 % respectively. CONCLUSION: the etiology of pain with undetermined origin is coronary pain. The incidence of patients with acute chest pain in the outpatient service is high..

ABSTRACT

Introducción: se realizó un estudio de intervención con todos los pacientes sometidos a cirugía de sustitución valvular protésica aórtica que acudieron a rehabilitarse en el Departamento de Rehabilitación Cardiovascular del Hospital Hermanos Ameijeiras durante el año 2011. Objetivo: caracterizar el comportamiento de los factores de riesgo coronario. Métodos: la muestra estuvo conformada por 16 pacientes. Se halló que el rango etario más frecuente fue el de 55-64 años, el sexo masculino y el color de piel blanca. La prótesis valvular de tipo mecánica fue implantada en todos los pacientes. Se observó mejoría en la capacidad funcional posterior a la rehabilitación cardíaca, se logró reducir el sedentarismo, la obesidad y el hábito de fumar, así como el incremento del número de pacientes hipertensos y diabéticos controlados. No ocurrieron complicaciones en la mayoría de los pacientes durante la rehabilitación. Conclusión: mediante la rehabilitación cardíaca se logró disminuir los FRC asociado a un bajo índice de complicaciones


Background: an intervention study was performed in all patients that were submitted to aortic prosthetic valve replacement surgery that began rehabilitation at the Cardiac Rehabilitation Unit Department of Hermanos Ameijeiras Hospital during the year 2011. Objective: to characterize the behavior of coronary risk factors. Methods: the sample was comprised of 16 patients. It was observed that the most frequent age rank was 55-64 years and most of the patients were male and white. All patients received mechanical aortic valve replacement. An improvement in the functional capacity in patients after cardiac rehabilitation was observed. Sedentary life, obesity and smoking habit were cut down and there was an increase in the number of controlled diabetic and hypertensive patients. Complications did not occur in the majority of patients during rehabilitation. Conclusions: cardiac rehabilitation diminished FRC associated to a low rate of complications

ABSTRACT

Se realizó un estudio observacional, analítico y retrospectivo, de tipo caso-control, de los adultos mayores con infarto agudo del miocardio, pertenecientes al área de salud Municipal de Santiago de Cuba, desde enero de 2006 hasta diciembre de 2011, a fin de identificar los factores de riesgo coronarios asociados al mismo. Se seleccionaron 33 casos y 2 controles por cada uno de ellos. Se calcularon el riesgo relativo a través de la razón de productos cruzados y el riesgo atribuible en expuestos porcentual como medida de impacto. El sedentarismo y la hipertensión arterial tuvieron una acentuada relación significativa de causalidad con el infarto agudo del miocardio y de forma moderada con el tabaquismo, no así los antecedentes familiares ni personales de cardiopatía isquémica, sexo, obesidad y diabetes mellitus


An observational, analytic and retrospective study of case-control type, of aged patients with acute myocardial infarction, belonging to the health Municipal area of Santiago de Cuba was carried out from January, 2006 to December, 2011, in order to identify the coronary risk factors associated with it. Thirty three cases and two controls for each were selected. The relative risk through the odds ratio and the attributable risk in percentage exposed as impact measure were calculated. Sedentarism and hypertension had a considerable significant causative relationship with acute myocardial infarction and in a moderate way with smoking habit. Family or personal history of ischemic cardiopathy, sex, obesity or diabetes mellitus had no relation with it

ABSTRACT

Introducción: la capacidad predictiva del riesgo coronario es superior a la que se establece por la consideración aislada de los factores de riesgo cardiovasculares. Objetivo: determinar la magnitud del riesgo coronario y las prioridades de prevención cardiovascular en pacientes pertenecientes al consultorio médico de la familia No.5, del policlínico Ana Betancourt, en el municipio Playa. Métodos: investigación descriptiva, de corte transversal realizada entre 2009-2010. El universo de estudio estuvo constituido por las 856 personas mayores de 20 años perteneciente a dicho consultorio. Después de aplicados los criterios de selección, la muestra quedó conformada por 242 pacientes. Se utilizaron los criterios de las Tablas de Predicción del Riesgo Coronario de Framingham, que permiten estimar dicho riesgo a diez años, en las personas con factores de riesgo cardiovascular que aún no han tenido enfermedad coronaria establecida y que requieren intervenciones de cambio de su estilo de vida. Resultados: predominaron los pacientes en la categoría de riesgo coronario moderado, 97 (40,1 porciento), seguido por los de alto riesgo, 82 (33, 8 porciento) y finalmente, los de bajo riesgo, 63 (26 porciento). Ninguno de los pacientes estudiados estaba exento de riesgo coronario. Conclusiones: es muy probable, que más de la mitad de la muestra sufra un episodio coronario, mortal o no, durante los próximos diez años. Es urgente aplicar una estrategia de intervención comunitaria, basada en la modificación de los factores de riesgo asociados al estilo de vida, que permita disminuir la actual expresión del riesgo coronario en la población estudiada


Introduction: the predictive capacity of the coronary risk is greater than the prediction set by the individual consideration of the cardiovascular risk factors. Objective: to determine the coronary risk and the cardiovascular prevention priorities in patients from the family doctor's office no.5 in Ana Betancourt polyclinics located in Playa municipality. Methods: a cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in the 2009-2010 period. The universe of study was made up of 856 people aged over 20 years in this doctor's office. After applying the criteria of selection, 242 patients formed the final sample. The criteria of Framingham's coronary risk prediction tables, which allow estimating the risk covering 10 years in those people who present cardiovascular risk factors but not coronary disease and require health interventions to change their lifestyles, were applied. Results: the patients included in the moderate coronary risk category (97 for 40.1 percent), followed by high risk patients (82 for 33.8 percent) and finally, the low risk (63 for 26 percent) predominated. None of the patients were exempted from the coronary risk. Conclusions: it is more likely that over half of the sample would have some coronary event, either deadly or not, in the forthcoming ten years. Therefore, it is urgent to apply a community-based intervention strategy, based on the change of lifestyle-associated risk factors, capable of reducing the current manifestation of the coronary risk in the studied population

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La cardiopatía isquémica es una determinante principal de la morbimortalidad peroperatoria. Objetivo: Comparar dos técnicas de anestesia intravenosa total en pacientes con factores de riesgo coronario en proceder quirúrgico mayor electiva. Material y Método: Se realizó una investigación descriptiva, prospectiva, longitudinal en 42 pacientes ASA III en el Hospital Universitario "General Calixto García", entre abril de 2008 y abril de 2010. Se crearon dos grupos según mantenimiento de la anestesia. (1): propofol/fentanil y (2): propofol/ketamina. Se estudiaron los cambios en la glucemia, tensión arterial media, frecuencia cardiaca y CO2 espirado durante el intraoperatorio, así como los tiempos de recuperación con cada una de las técnicas. Los datos se resumieron usando medias y desviaciones estándar para variables cuantitativas y porcentajes para variables cualitativas. Se utilizó la Prueba de comparación de medias de muestras independientes para la comparación entre los dos grupos. Resultados: Los valores de glucemia y CO2 espirado intraoperatorios se comportaron de manera similar en ambos grupos sin diferencias significativas. Durante la inducción, la tensión arterial media y la frecuencia cardiaca fueron significativamente menores en el grupo 1 en comparación al grupo 2 que se mantuvo prácticamente sin variaciones en los diferentes momentos. La recuperación total de la anestesia fue significativamente más rápida en el grupo 2. Conclusión: La anestesia intravenosa total con ketamina/propofol, proporciona resultados positivos finales y sin ninguna complicación mayor, lo que constituye una herramienta más para disminuir la morbilidad perioperatoria en pacientes con factores de riesgo coronario.


Introduction: The ischemic heart disease is a major determinant of perioperative morbility and mortality. Objective: To compare two techniques of total intravenous anesthesia in patients with coronary risk factors in an elective major surgical procedure. Material and Methods: A longitudinal, prospective and descriptive research was conducted in 42 ASA III patients in the "General Calixto GArcía" University Hospital from April, 2008 to April, 2010. Two groups were created according to the anesthesia maintenance (1): propofol/fentanyl and (2): propofol/ketamine. Authors studied the changes in glycemia, mean blood pressure, cardiac frequency and CO2 exhalated during the intraoperative period, as well as the recovery times of each of the techniques. Data were summarized using means and standard deviations (SD) for quantitative variables and percentages for qualitative variables. The test of comparison of means of independent samples was used to comparison between both groups. Results: The intraoperative glycemia and exhalated CO2 values were similar en both groups without significant differences. During induction, the mean blood pressure and the cardiac frequency were significantly lower in the group 1 compared with group 2 which remains practically without variations in the different moments. The total recovery from anesthesia was faster in the group 2. Conclusion: The total intravenous anesthesia using ketamine/propofol, yield final positive results and without any major complication, being another tool to decrease the perioperative morbility in patients with coronary risk factors.

ABSTRACT

A incidência de diabetes, aterosclerose e morte cardíaca súbita é bastante frequente em pessoas obesas, porém quando a obesidade está centralizada na região abdominal as repercussões negativas, tanto de ordem metabólica quanto cardiovascular são mais significativas.O objetivo do estudo foi analisar e comparar entre os indicadores antropométricos de obesidade abdominal mais utilizados, quais deles apresentam maior poder preditivo para discriminar risco coronariano elevado (RCE) e propor pontos de corte para sua utilizaçãona prática clínica e populacional em adultos brasileiros. Foram analisados os manuscritos publicados pelo grupo de pesquisa em doenças crônicas não transmissíveis do Instituto de Saúde Coletiva (ISC) da Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA) que compararam diversos indicadores antropométricos como preditores de RCE. As evidências com base nos estudos analisados permitem sugerir para avaliação da obesidade abdominal: na prática clínica, utilizar o índice de conicidade (Índice C) com os pontos de corte de 1,25 para homens, 1,18 e 1,22 para mulheres até 49 anos e a partir de 50 anos de idade, respectivamente; em estudos populacionais, utilizar a razão cintura-estatura (RCest) com a mensagem de que a cintura não deve ser maior que a metade da estatura de determinada pessoa.


The incidence of diabetes, atherosclerosis and sudden cardiac death is high among obese individuals, with significant metabolic and cardiovascular adverse effects being observed when obesity is centered in the abdominal region. The objective of this study was to determinewhich of the anthropometric indicators of abdominal obesity commonly used show the highest predictive power to discriminate a high coronary risk (HCR) and to propose cut-off values for their use in clinical practice and in population studies on Brazilian adults. The studies publishedby the research group on non-transmissible chronic diseases of the Public Health Institute (PHI), Federal University of Bahia (UFBA), that compare different anthropometric indicators as predictors of HCR were analyzed. The evidence provided by the studies analyzed suggests the use of the conicity index for the evaluation of abdominal obesity in clinical practice, with cut-off values of 1.25 for men and of 1.18 and 1.22 for women ? 49 years and > 50 years, respectively. The waist-height ratio should be used in population studies, with the recommendation that waist should not exceed half the height of a particular subject.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relation between major depressive disorder and metabolic risk factors of coronary heart disease. INTRODUCTION: Little evidence is available indicating a relationship between major depressive disorder and metabolic risk factors of coronary heart disease such as lipoprotein and apolipoprotein. METHODS: This case-control study included 153 patients with major depressive disorder who fulfilled the criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth edition (DSM-IV), and 147 healthy individuals. All participants completed a demographic questionnaire and Hamilton rating scale for depression. Anthropometric characteristics were recorded. Blood samples were taken and total cholesterol, high-and low-density lipoproteins and apolipoproteins A and B were measured. To analyze the data, t-test, χ2 test, Pearson correlation test and linear regression were applied. RESULTS: Depression was a negative predictor of apolipoprotein A (β = -0.328, p<0.01) and positive predictor of apolipoprotein B (β = 0.290, p<0.05). Apolipoprotein A was inversely predicted by total cholesterol (β = -0.269, p<0.05) and positively predicted by high-density lipoprotein (β = 0.401, p<0.01). Also, low-density lipoprotein was a predictor of apolipoprotein B (β = 0.340, p<0.01). The severity of depression was correlated with the increment in serum apolipoprotein B levels and the decrement in serum apolipoprotein A level. CONCLUSION: In view of the relationship between apolipoproteins A and B and depression, it would seem that screening of these metabolic risk factors besides psychological interventions is necessary in depressed patients.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study is to elucidate the relationship between the predicted 50%VO<sub>2</sub>max/wt (ml/kg/min) and coronary risk factors (CRFs).Seven hundred eighty six men (37.3 +/- 13.5 years old) and 1,268 women (41.5 +/- 13.6 years old) were studied. The predicted 50%VO<sub>2</sub>max/wt was calculated by utilizing data from the continuous incremental exercise test with a stationary bicycle ergometer and the age-predicted heart rate at 50%VO<sub>2</sub>max (=138-age/2). As CRFs, percent body fat, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, triglyceride, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, fasting blood sugar and HbA1c were measured.The age-adjusted odds ratio of having abnormal values in CRFs across quartiles of the predicted 50%VO<sub>2</sub>max/wt (highest to lowest) were 1.00 (reference), 1.39, 2.64, and 6.78 in men, and 1.00, 1.73, 2.33 and 3.44 in women (for trend, <i>p</i><0.001), respectively.This study indicated that the lower 50%VO<sub>2</sub>max/wt resulted in the higher odds ratio of having abnormal values in CRFs among Japanese. It was also confirmed that the sub-maximal aerobic capacity was associated with CRFs.
