Etiología de la enfermedad valvular cardíaca: Centro Cardiovascular Regional ASCARDIO-Barquisimeto / Etiology of valvular heart disease: Centro Cardiovascular Regional ASCARDIO-Barquisimeto

La enfermedad valvular cardíaca representa un problema de salud pública a nivel mundial. El objetivo del presente estudio de recolección retrospectiva de datos fue determinar la etiología valvular en pacientes que asisten a la consulta de patología valvular del Centro Cardiovascular Regional ASCARDIO-Barquisimeto en el periodo comprendido entre 2002 y 2015. Se revisaron 1760 historias médicas obteniendo como resultado que la insuficiencia mitral fue la lesión valvular más frecuente (66,13%). Con respecto a patología aórtica, la estenosis aórtica severa predominó en un 69,2% de casos seguido de insuficiencia aórtica leve (37,7%). La etiología degenerativa fue la más frecuente para los casos de estenosis e insuficiencia aórtica (76,4% y 59,5% respectivamente). En cuanto a la lesión valvular mitral, predominaron la estenosis (58,3%) e insuficiencia severa (42,4%) mientras que la etiología de la estenosis e insuficiencia mitral fue predominantemente reumática (89% y 33%, respectivamente). La estenosis tricuspídea fue exclusivamente reumática y la insuficiencia tricuspídea y pulmonar se consideró principalmente funcional. La estenosis pulmonar fue exclusivamente congénita. Este estudio aportará información para evaluar la situación actual de la enfermedad valvular cardíaca en el estado Lara(AU)

Valvular heart disease represents a public health problem worldwide. The goal of this study was to determine the etiology of valvular disease in patients that attend the cardiac valvular pathology consult of the Centro Cardiovascular Regional ASCARDIO-Barquisimeto during the period 2002 to 2015. We reviewed 1760 medical charts and the results show that mitral regurgitation was the most frequent lesion (66.13%). In regards to aortic valvular pathology, severe aortic stenosis predominated in 69.2% of cases followed by mild aortic regurgitation (37.7%). The main cause was degenerative for both aortic stenosis and regurgitation (76.4% and 59.5%, respectively). With respect to mitral valve lesion, stenosis and severe regurgitation was more common (58.3%, and 42.4%, respectively), while the etiology of mitral stenosis and insufficiency was in most cases rheumatic. Tricuspid as well as pulmonary regurgitation was considered mainly functional. Pulmonary stenosis was exclusively congenital. This study provided information to evaluate the current situation of cardiac valvular disease in Lara state(AU)

Relationship between resilience and coping style of cardiac valvular postoperative patients with cardiopulmonary bypass / 中国实用护理杂志

Objective To explore the relationship between resilience and coping style of cardiac valvular postoperative patients with cardiopulmonary bypass.Methods A total of 208 cardiac valvular postoperative patients with cardiopulmonary bypass were recruited from 4 cardiovascular surgery in Guangdong and were investigated with the self-designed questionnaire,Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC),Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire (MCMQ).Results The average score of resilience in cardiac valvular postoperative patients with cardiopulmonary bypass was (55.38±10.63)points.The average score of tenacity,strength and optimism were (28.21 ±5.87)points,(18.21 ±4.02)and (8.96± 1.85)points respectively.The average score of coping style of confrontation,avoidance and acceptance-resignation were(18.13±3.38),(16.95±1.75)and (9.24±2.47)points respectively.All the sub-scores of the resilience were positively correlated with confrontation,and all the sub-scores of the resilience were negatively correlated with avoidance and acceptance-resignation.Conclusions There is a certain degree of correlation between resilience and copping style of cardiac valvular postoperative patients with cardiopulmonary bypass.Nurses should enhance resilience of the patients,guide the patients to adopt effective coping styles,to promote disease rehabilitation and improve the quality of life.

A Case of Adrenocorticotropic Hormone Deficiency after Surgery for Cardiac Valvular Disease / 日本心臓血管外科学会雑誌

A 59-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with severe mitral incompetence. Mitral valve repair, tricuspid annuloplasty and the Maze procedure were performed. After weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass, his systolic blood pressure (SBP) dropped to 40 mmHg. Immediate administration of catecholamines markedly increased SBP but his continuing low blood pressure required additional treatment with vasopressin and hydrocortisone. On postoperative day 12 in the general ward, he suddenly lapsed into an intractable hypoglycemic coma. Endocrine function tests revealed adrenocorticotropic hormone deficiency. Since the time of writing has been doing well with 20 mg of hydrocortisone.

Cardiac operations in patients aged 70 years and over / 临床外科杂志

Objective To summarize the surgical treatment of heart disease in patients aged 70 years and over. Methods From May 1995 to July 2000, 23 patients aged 70 years and over underwent cardiac operation at our department. Thirteen cases underwent isolated coronary bypass grafting, 5 had isolated valve operations , 3 had combined valve operation and coronary bypass grafting, 1 had excision of left atrial myxomas, 1 had combined pericardiectomy and coronary bypass grafting .Results Postoperative complications occurred in 5 cases (21.7%). The hospital mortality rate was 4.3% (1 case) . All of the 22 cases survived showed improvements in cardiac function and quality of life during a follow up of 1 month to 5 years.Conclusions Cardiac operations can be performed in patient saged 70 yeas and over with a satisfactory outcome,earlier referral and intervention is mandatory to improve results in this patients.
