ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Verificar a sensibilidade e a especificidade do hormônio natriurético do tipo B (BNP) para identificar pacientes ambulatoriais, com insuficiência mitral crônica grave, sintomáticos e assintomáticos. MÉTODOS: Um grupo de pacientes com insuficiência mitral foi examinado e submetido à eletrocardiografia, telerradiografia de tórax, coletas de sangue venoso e ecocardiograma transtorácico. Por meio da análise de variáveis ecocardiográficas, 62 pacientes apresentavam refluxo mitral discreto e moderado (G I) e 34 refluxo mitral grave (G II). A capacidade discriminante do BNP em detectar pacientes com insuficiência mitral grave foi avaliada pela construção de curvas ROC. RESULTADOS: Entre os 96 doentes, 71 (73 por cento) eram mulheres e as idades variaram entre 15 e 63 (média de 31,7) anos. Os valores de BNP variaram de 0,00 pg/ml a 193 pg/ml. Os doentes do G I tiveram um valor médio de BNP de 18,10 ± 0,74 pg/ml e os do G II de 50,54 ± 1,46 pg/ml, (p=0,001). O valor de corte para identificar insuficiência mitral grave foi de 15,40 pg/ml, para o melhor balanço entre a sensibilidade e a especificidade, respectivamente de 0,73 e 0,74. O valor de corte para identificar pacientes sintomáticos e com insuficiência mitral grave foi de 28,40 pg/ml, para o melhor balanço entre a sensibilidade e a especificidade, respectivamente de 0,78 e 0,83. CONCLUSÃO: Os valores de BNP capazes de indentificar doentes com insuficiência mitral grave assintomáticos e sintomáticos são menores do que os 100 pg/ml considerados para o diagnóstico de insuficiência cardíaca.

ABSTRACT

We studied 7 patients before and after mitral valve replacement (MVR) for chronic mitral regurgitation (MR) and 5 control subjects by echocardiography and right heart catheterization to assess left ventricular function, hemodynamics and plasma catecholamine concentrations during supine bicycle exercise. Left ventricular (LV) end-systolic dimension decreased and LV systolic function increased significantly during exercise in patients and control subjects. LV systolic function (fractional shortening and mean velocity of circumferential fiber shortening) was significantly lower in patients after MVR than before MVR (p < 0.05). Cardiac index at peak exercise was significantly higher in patients after MVR than before MVR (p < 0.05). Significantly greater augmentation in plasma norepinephrine (NE) levels were observed during exercise in patients both before and after MVR than in control subjects (p < 0.05). No significant differences in mean pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) were observed between the patients before and after MVR. Thus, it is concluded that LV systolic and pump function (CI) during exercise were augmented by a compensatory activation of sympathetic nervous system in patients both before and after MVR for chronic MR.
