ABSTRACT

Situations of cardiac arrest have been reported in under-nourished patients with protein and calorie deficits when the provision of nutrients was initiated in an uncontrolled manner. The recognition of the association between the provision of food in these circumstances and the serious clinical consequences, generally heartbeat disorders, has led this condition to be described as "re-feeding syndrome". The case presented here is of severe acute respiratory failure and cardiogenic shock in a 44-year-old female patient with severe protein and calorie malnutrition associated with the start of hyperproteic nutritional support. Treatment with inotropic-vasoactive drugs and diuretics together with a progressive nutritional programme brought about the complete reversal of her heart failure and the concomitant endocrine-metabolic syndrome.

ABSTRACT

Se han comunicado situaciones de paro cardíaco en pacientes con desnutrición proteico-calórica en los que se iniciaba aporte de nutrientes de manera incontrolada. El reconocimiento de la asociación entre el aporte de alimentos en estas circunstancias y los eventos clínicos graves, generalmente trastornos del ritmo cardíaco, llevó a describirlo como “síndrome de realimentación”. Presentamos un caso de influencia respiratoria aguda grave y shock cardiogénico en una paciente de 44 años con desnutrición proteico-calórica grave asociado al inicio de un soporte nutricional hiperproteico. El tratamiento con drogas inotrópicas-vasoactivas y diuréticos junto con un programa nutricional progresivo consiguió la reversión completa de la insuficiencia cardíaca y del síndome endocrino-metabólico concomitante (AU)

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: To analyse the inflammatory state in Acute Coronary Syndromes without ST-segment elevation by means of the value of the High-sensitivity C-reactive protein and other markers of inflammation. To assess if there are differences between unstable angina and myocardial infarction and if it has prognostic value of cardiovascular complications during one year follow up. METHODS: 61 patients diagnosed of Acute Coronary Syndrome without ST-segment elevation were studied: mean age of 67 +/- 11 years old, 26% women. The value of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and other inflammatory markers (leukocytes and fibrinogen) were analysed and were compared in those patients with unstable angina versus myocardial infarction without ST elevation. Follow up during one year of cardiovascular complications (death with cardiac origin, infarction, refractory ischemia or rehospitalization because of cardiovascular cause) and its relation with the inflammatory markers. RESULTS: 75% of the patients showed increased levels of High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (> 2 mg/l). 47 patients (77%) were diagnosed of Infarction without ST elevation and the remainders of Unstable Angina. There were no statistically significant differences between subgroups, neither in the median value of the C-reactive protein: 4.49 mg/l in infarction versus 4.5 mg/l in Angina (p = ns) nor in the percentage of patients with high levels of C-reactive protein (77% in infarction versus 71% in Angina). With regard to the other inflammatory markers (fibrinogen and leukocytes) no differences between subgroups were found. None of the inflammatory markers showed predictive value about the appearance of the composite end-point during one year follow up. CONCLUSIONS: The high-sensitivity C-reactive protein is elevated in patients with Acute coronary syndromes without ST-segment elevation, but no difference in the inflammatory state of patients with unstable angina versus myocardial infarction without ST elevation was found. In our series, these markers were not related with the risk of cardiovascular complications.

ABSTRACT

El edema pulmonar no cardiogénico por obstrucción de la vía aérea superior, aunque descrito inicialmente en niños, se presenta en adultos excepcionalmente y se han descrito casos esporádicos. Aunque el cuadro clínico generalmente es benigno y se resuelve normalmente en menos de 36 h desde su instauración, algunos casos desarrollan insuficiencia respiratoria grave de más larga evolución. Presentamos el caso de un paciente que desarrolló edema pulmonar no cardiogénico tras laringoespasmo postextubación, de características graves, y analizamos los posibles mecanismos patogénicos (AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: Analizar el estado inflamatorio en el Síndrome coronario agudo sin elevación del segmento ST mediante el valor de la Proteína C-Reactiva Ultrasensible y otros marcadores de inflamación. Determinar si hay diferencias entre la angina inestable y el infarto miocardio y si se relaciona con la aparición de complicaciones cardiovasculares en el seguimiento a un año. Pacientes y métodos: Se estudiaron 61 pacientes diagnosticados de Síndrome coronario agudo sin elevación del ST (SCA): edad media 67 ñ 11 años, 26 por ciento mujeres. Se analizó el valor de la Proteína C-reactiva ultrasensible y otros marcadores de inflamación (leucocitos y fibrinógeno) y se compararon pacientes con Angor inestable frente a Infarto agudo de miocardio sin elevación del ST. Seguimiento durante un año de complicaciones cardiovasculares (muerte de origen cardiaco, infarto, isquemia refractaria o rehospitalización por causa cardiovascular) y su relación con los marcadores inflamatorios. Resultados: El 75 por ciento de los pacientes presentaron valores aumentados de Proteína C-reactiva ultrasensible (valor >2 mg/l). 47 pacientes (77 por ciento) fueron diagnosticados de Infarto sin elevación ST y el resto de Angina inestable. No hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre ambos subgrupos respecto al valor de la mediana de la Proteína C-reactiva: 4,49 mg/l en el infarto, frente a 4,50 mg/l en el angor (p= ns) ni tampoco en el porcentaje de pacientes con Proteína C-reactiva elevada (77 por ciento en infarto vs 71 por ciento en angor). Respecto a otros marcadores inflamatorios (leucocitos y fibrinógeno) tampoco encontramos diferencias entre subgrupos. Ninguno de los marcadores inflamatorios fueron predictivos de aparición del evento combinado al año de seguimiento. Conclusiones: La Proteína C-Reactiva ultrasensible se encuentra aumentada en los pacientes con síndrome coronario agudo sin ascenso de ST, sin embargo no encontramos diferencias en el estado inflamatorio de los pacientes con Angina inestable frente al Infarto agudo de miocardio sin elevación del ST. Tampoco, en nuestra serie, estos marcadores mostraron valor predictivo sobre la aparición de eventos cardiacos al año (AU)
