ABSTRACT

Resumen Objetivos: Determinar si los pacientes con cardiopatía chagásica (CCh) presentaron choques apropiados del desfibrilador automático implantable (DAI) de manera más precoz que los pacientes con cardiopatía isquémica (CI). Métodos: Estudio de cohorte retrospectivo que incluyó los pacientes con CCh y CI en quienes se implantó un DAI entre los años 2009 y 2018 en un hospital de alta complejidad. El seguimiento se realizó hasta los 36 meses, evaluándose el momento del primer choque apropiado del dispositivo. Resultados: Se incluyeron 64 pacientes, 20 con CCh y 44 con CI. Se observó que una mayor proporción de pacientes con CCh presentaron choques apropiados durante el primer año (hazard ratio [HR]: 8.4; intervalo de confianza del 95% [IC95%]: 2.09-34.02; p = 0.0027) y a 3 años (HR: 4.61; IC95%: 1.51-14.07; p = 0.0072). El 100% de la población con CCh e implante del DAI como prevención secundaria de muerte súbita presentaron choques apropiados durante los primeros 26 meses de seguimiento. Conclusiones: Los pacientes con CCh presentaron choques apropiados del DAI de manera más precoz que los pacientes con CI. Todos los pacientes con CCh y DAI como prevención secundaria presentaron choques apropiados, representando una población de mayor riesgo. Esta información apoya la indicación del DAI en estos pacientes a pesar de la escasa evidencia en ensayos aleatorizados.


Abstract Objetives: To assess if patients with Chagasic heart disease (CHD) received effective automatic implantable defibrillator (AID) shocks earlier than patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD). Methods: Retrospective cohort of patients with CHD and IHD who received an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) between 2009 and 2018, in a tertiary hospital. We evaluated the time between the implant of ICD and the first effective shock in patients with CHD and compared it with the IHD control population. Results: We included a total of 64 patients, 20 with CHD and 44 with IHD. CHD patients presented earlier an effective shock than patients with IHD during the first year (hazard ratio [HR]: 8.4; 95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 2.09-34.02; p = 0.0027), and at three years (HR: 4.61; 95% CI: 1.51-14.07; p = 0.0072). 100% of CHD patients who received the ICD as secondary prevention of sudden cardiac death presented an effective shock during the first 26 months of follow-up. Conclusions: Patients with CHD received effective ICD shocks earlier than the IHD patients. All patients with CHD and ICD as secondary prevention had an appropriate ICD shock at short term, representing the highest risk population, and supporting the indication of the device in a setting where randomized clinical trials are lacking.

ABSTRACT

The use of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) in young women has been increasing in recent years owing to greater awareness about inherited cardiac conditions that increase the risk of sudden death. Traditional placement of ICDs in the infraclavicular region among young women often leads to visible scars, a constant prominence that causes irritation from purse or bra straps and can result in body image concerns and device-related emotional distress. In this case series, two women with long QT syndrome required placement of ICDs for prevention of sudden cardiac death. Submammary placement of ICDs was performed in collaboration with electrophysiologists. We describe our local experience and technique in submammary placement of ICDs as well as the challenges faced.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Fundamento A despeito da comprovada efetividade do cardioversor-desfibrilador implantável (CDI), as terapias de choque deflagradas pelo dispositivo podem causar níveis elevados de ansiedade e depressão, provocando efeitos deletérios na qualidade de vida. Objetivo Realizar a tradução, adaptação transcultural e validação do instrumento Florida Shock Anxiety Scale (FSAS) para a língua portuguesa falada no Brasil. Métodos Nesse estudo psicométrico, a validade de construto foi realizada pela análise fatorial exploratória (AFE) e confirmatória (AFC) e pela Teoria de Resposta ao Item. Os índices de ajustamento da AFC foram: Robust Mean-Scaled Chi Square/df NNFI, CFI (Comparative Fit Index), GFI (Goodness Fit Index), AGFI (Adjusted Goodness Fit Index), RMSEA (Root Mean Square Error of Approximation) e RMSR (Root Mean Square of Residuals). A confiabilidade foi verificada pelo Alfa de Cronbach, Ômega de McDonald e Greatest Lower Bound. As análises foram realizadas no SPSS 23.0 e Factor 10.8.01, com nível de significância de 5%. Resultados A versão final em português do FSAS foi administrada em 151 portadores de CDI, com idade média de 55,7 ± 14,1 anos e predomínio do sexo masculino. A análise paralela indicou que o FSAS é unidimensional, com variância explicada de 64,4%. As correlações variaram de 0,31 a 0,77; as cargas fatoriais de 0,67 a 0,86 e as comunalidades de 0,46 a 0,74. Os índices de ajustamento da AFC estabeleceram-se acima dos limites de qualidade. Encontramos evidências satisfatórias de confiabilidade da escala FSAS. Conclusão O instrumento FSAS-Br apresentou evidências consistentes de validade e confiabilidade, podendo, portanto, ser utilizado em portadores de CDI do Brasil.

Abstract Background In spite of proven effectiveness of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), shock therapy delivered by the device may result in increased levels of anxiety and depression, leading to deleterious effects on quality of life. Objective To carry out the translation, cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Florida Shock Anxiety Scale (FSAS) scale into Brazilian Portuguese. Methods In this psychometric study, construct validity was performed by exploratory (EFA) and confirmatory (CFA) factor analyses, and by item response theory (IRT). The adjustment indexes of the CFA were: Robust Mean-Scaled Chi Square/df NNFI, CFI (Comparative Fit Index), GFI (Goodness Fit Index), AGFI (Adjusted Goodness Fit Index), RMSEA (Root Mean Square Error of Approximation) and RMSR (Root Mean Square of Residuals). Reliability was evaluated through Cronbach's Alpha, McDonald's Omega and Greatest Lower Bound (GLB). The analyses were carried out with the programs SPSS 23 and Factor 10.8.01. A 5 percent significance level was used. Results The final Portuguese version of the FSAS was administered to 151 ICD patients, with a mean age of 55.7 ± 14.1 years, and predominantly male. The parallel analysis indicated that the FSAS is unidimensional, with an explained variance of 64.4%. The correlations ranged from 0.31 to 0.77, factor loadings from 0.67 to 0.86, and communalities from 0.46 to 0.74. The adjustment indexes of the CFA were above the quality threshold. Satisfactory reliability evidence was provided by the FSAS. Conclusions The FSAS-Br showed consistent validity and reliability evidence. Therefore, it can be used in ICD patients in Brazil.

ABSTRACT

El mayor cumplimiento de las guías de práctica clínica y los avances tecnológicos implementados en los dispositivos cardiacos, han demostrado mejorar la calidad de vida y supervivencia de los pacientes portadores de ellos, quienes requieren de seguimiento periódico como parte del proceso terapéutico, pero la complejidad de su control, las frecuentes alertas de seguridad de generadores y electrodos, y el aumento del número de portadores, sobrecargan las consultas, obligando a prolongar el intervalo entre revisiones. La monitorización remota es un sistema que proporciona a distancia y en tiempo real, información completa sobre el estado y funcionamiento de los dispositivos cardiacos implantables, permite optimizar el control del paciente, evitar desplazamientos innecesarios y reducir los costos sanitarios. Objetivos: Evaluar la práctica clínica actual sobre monitorización, las funciones de enfermería, revisar y rediseñar el protocolo de seguimiento como área de mejora. Metodología: Se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica utilizando los descriptores MeSH: desfibrilador implantable, marcapasos artificial, monitorización remota y atención de enfermería, en las bases de datos: Medline, Embase, Cochrane, Cuiden y CINAHL acotada a los trabajos publicados en los últimos seis años. La búsqueda se ha basado en la revisión de nuevos modelos organizativos de monitorización remota, se analizaron los resultados y se hizo una evaluación crítica de las intervenciones para actualizar el protocolo de la consulta de enfermería. Resultados: Las directrices actuales para disminuir la variabilidad asistencial definen los objetivos, frecuencia, contenido del seguimiento remoto y funciones de los profesionales implicados. Con base en la evidencia y la experiencia acumulada se ha actualizado el protocolo de atención a estos pacientes. Conclusiones: La monitorización remota requiere profesionales de enfermería expertos en estimulación cardiaca


A better compliance with clinical practice guidelines and technological advances implemented in cardiac devices improve the quality of life and survival of patients carrying them. These patients require periodic monitoring as a part of the therapeutic process, but the complexity of their control, the frequent security alerts from generators and electrodes, the increase in the number of carriers, fill up the consulting rooms, and consequently the interval between checkups needs to be longer. Remote monitoring it is a system that provides remote, real-time, comprehensive information about the condition and operation of implantable cardiac devices, and allows patient’s management to be optimized, unnecessary displacements to be avoided and healthcare costs to be reduced. Objectives: To evaluate the current clinical practice on monitoring and the nursing roles, and review and redesign our monitoring protocol as an area of improvement. Methodology: A bibliographical search was conducted using the MeSH descriptors: implantable defibrillator, artificial pacemakers, remote monitoring and nursing care, in the databases: Medline, Embase, Cochrane, CINAHL take care and bounded to the papers published in the last six years. The search is based on the review of new organizational models for remote monitoring, the results thereof were analyzed and a critical evaluation of our interventions was made in order to update our nursing consultation protocol. Results: The current guidelines to reduce variability of care define the objectives, frequency, content and functions of the remote monitoring of the professionals involved. Based on the evidence and our experience, has been updated the protocol of care for these patients. Conclusions: Remote monitoring requires skilled nursing professionals in cardiac stimulation

ABSTRACT

La endocarditis infecciosa (EI) asociada a dispositivos electrónicos implantables permanentes (DEIP) es una complicación de baja frecuencia pero alta mortalidad sin el tratamiento adecuado. El avance sobre el conocimiento de esta patología y el desarrollo de estrategias terapéuticas como el diagnóstico precoz, manejo de antibióticos, técnicas de extracción, entre otras, han mejorado el pronóstico de estos pacientes. Los objetivos de este estudio fueron evaluar la morbimortalidad intrahospitalaria y alejada y analizar algunos factores que justifican las diferencias con los datos de la mortalidad publicada. Se estudiaron en forma retrospectiva pacientes entre marzo/2002 y marzo/2011 con diagnóstico de EI asociada a DEIP. Se analizaron características basales, diagnósticas, terapéuticas, evolución intrahospitalaria y alejada. Se incluyeron 26 casos atendidos en nuestro hospital, 23 de los cuales fueron remitidos desde otros centros para su diagnóstico y tratamiento. La edad promedio fue de 67,5 años. Todos los pacientes recibieron antibióticos durante seis semanas y se les retiró el sistema en forma completa; en el 95% de los pacientes por vía percutánea y en 2 pacientes se requirió estereotomía mediana, atriotomía y colocación de marcapasos epicardíaco. La mortalidad fue del 4% y en el seguimiento fue nula. La morbilidad intrahospitalaria fue del 31%. En el seguimiento alejado no hubo reinfecciones u otra complicación. Como conclusión la EI es un cuadro grave que presenta una morbilidad elevada con estadías hospitalarias prolongadas, pero la mortalidad es baja. La explicación podría estar en las técnicas percutáneas, experiencia, extracción completa, el tiempo del reimplante del nuevo dispositivo y el tratamiento precoz, entre otros factores.


Infective endocarditis (IE) associated with permanent cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) is a complication of low frequency, but high mortality without adequate treatment. Progress on the knowledge of this disease and the development of therapeutic strategies such as early diagnosis, antibiotic management and better extraction techniques, among others, have improved the prognosis of these patients. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the in-hospital and out-of-hospital morbidity, and analyze some factors that explain the differences among the published mortality data. Patients diagnosed with IE associated with CIEDs were studied, retrospectively, between March/2002 and March/2011. We analyzed baseline, diagnostic and therapeutic characteristics, and in-hospital and out-of-hospital courses of the disease. We included 26 cases treated in our hospital, 23 of whom were referred from other centers for diagnosis and treatment. The average age of the patients was 67.5 years. All patients received antibiotics for six weeks and underwent complete removal of the device system, in 95% of patients by percutaneous extraction and 2 patients required a median sternotomy, atriotomy and epicardial pacemaker placement. Mortality was 4% and the follow up mortality was zero. The in-hospital morbidity was 31%. In the follow-ups there were no reinfections or other complications. In conclusion, IE is a serious condition that has a high morbidity with prolonged hospital stays, but with a low mortality. The explanation may lie in the use percutaneous extraction techniques, experience, complete extraction of the device system, the time of reimplantation of the new device and early treatment, among other factors.
