ABSTRACT

Background: The pathophysiology of long-COVID remains unknown, and information is particularly limited for symptoms of very long duration. We aimed to assess the serological, T-cell immune responses and ANA titers of patients with long-COVID-19 syndrome of 1-year duration. Methods: Prospective, longitudinal study of hospitalized COVID-19 patients followed-up for 12 months. Sequential blood samples and COVID-19 symptom questionnaires (CSQ) were obtained, and humoral and cellular immune responses, antinuclear antibodies (ANA) and inflammation biomarkers were analyzed. Results: Of 154 patients discharged from hospital, 72 non-vaccinated with available CSQ in all visits were included. Of them, 14 (19.4%) reported persistent symptoms both at 6-months and 12-months, mainly asthenia (15.3%), myalgia (13.9%), and difficulty concentrating/memory loss (13.9%). Symptomatic patients were more frequently women, smokers, showed higher WHO severity score, and a trend to higher ICU admission. In the adjusted analysis, long-COVID syndrome was associated with lower frequency of detectable neutralizing antibodies (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 0.98; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.97-0.99) and lower SARS-CoV-2-S1/S2 titers (aHR [95%CI] 0.14 [0.03-0.65]). T-cell immune response measured with a SARS-CoV-2-interferon-γ release assay was not different between groups. There was a higher frequency of positive ANA titers (≥160) in symptomatic patients (57.1% vs 29.3%, p=0.04), that was attenuated after adjustment aHR [95% CI] 3.37 [0.84-13.57], p=0.087. Levels of C-reactive protein and D-dimer were higher during follow-up in symptomatic patients, but with no differences at 12 months. Conclusion: Patients with 1-year duration long-COVID-19 syndrome exhibit a distinct immunologic phenotype that includes a poorer SARS-CoV-2 antibody response, low-degree chronic inflammation that tends to mitigate, and autoimmunity.

ABSTRACT

La estimulación apexiana puede ser perjudicial. Intentamos averiguar cuántos pacientes propuestos para estimulación cardiaca definitiva podrían ser estimulados permanentemente en el haz de His y en cuántos se consigue. La totalidad de los bloqueos suprahisianos y la mayoría de los considerados «infrahisianos» (71,4%) se corrigen con la estimulación del His, pero sólo se consigue permanentemente en el 55% de los intentos y en el 35,4% de todos los casos posibles (AU)


Right ventricular apex pacing can have deleterious effects. Our aims were to investigate how many patients referred for permanent pacing were suitable candidates for permanent His bundle pacing, and to determine the proportion in whom such pacing was successful. All cases of suprahisian block and most cases of infrahisian block (71.4%) were corrected by temporary His bundle pacing. However, permanent His bundle pacing was achieved in only 55% of cases in which it was attempted, and in only 35.4% of all possible cases (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción y objetivos. La despolarización asíncrona del ventrículo izquierdo por bloqueo de rama izquierda o estimulación en punta de ventrículo derecho es hemodinámicamente inferior a la contracción a través del sistema de conducción. Tras ablación del nodo auriculoventricular y estimulación en punta de ventrículo derecho, existen casos de deterioro de la función ventricular y agravamiento de la insuficiencia mitral; para evitarlas se propone la estimulación en el tracto de salida de ventrículo derecho. La estimulación directa del haz de His podría ser una alternativa, pero en humanos sólo se han comunicado datos preliminares. El objetivo de este trabajo es demostrar las posibilidades de estimulación a largo plazo en el haz de His en términos de estabilidad, umbrales y función ventricular. Pacientes y método. La población del estudio estuvo constituida por pacientes sin cardiopatía estructural, seleccionados para ablación del nodo AV por fibrilación auricular paroxística mal controlada o con trastorno de la conducción suprahisiano y sistema de conducción distal normal. Se colocó un electrodo de fijación activa en posición His usando una guía dirigible y un catéter diagnóstico como referencia anatómica; a continuación implantamos un electrodo en la orejuela derecha y se conectaron a un generador DDDR. Evaluamos los umbrales de estimulación y los parámetros de la función ventricular (fracción de eyección, tamaño de las cavidades y regurgitación mitral).Resultados. Un total de 12 pacientes cumplieron los criterios de inclusión. La estimulación del haz de His fue conseguida en 8 casos (66 por ciento) con buenos umbrales durante el implante (1,24 ñ 0,13 voltios a 0,5 ms) y a los 3 meses (1,31 ñ 0,20 voltios a 0,5 ms). No se produjo ningún cambio en los parámetros ecocardiográficos ni deterioro en la situación clínica atribuibles a la ablación o la estimulación. Conclusión. El haz de His puede ser el lugar de elección para la estimulación permanente en pacientes con bloqueo AV y sistema de conducción infrahisiano normofuncionante (AU)
