ABSTRACT

Short QT syndrome (SQTS) represents a diagnosis challenge where the symptoms may vary from palpitations in an otherwise asymptomatic patient to sudden death. Is a recently discovered rare channelopathy, identified by Gussak in 2000, characterized by short QT intervals on the electrocardiogram and a tendency to develop atrial and ventricular arrhythmias in the absence of structural heart disease, hyperkalemia, hypercalcemia, hyperthermia, acidosis and endocrine disorders. We present the case of a 16-year-old patient with short QT-type channelopathy, who presented with sinus arrest and junctional rhythm, who later developed atrial tachycardia and atrial flutter.

ABSTRACT

Abstract One-third of the population in intensive care units is in a state of circulatory shock, whose rapid recognition and mechanism differentiation are of great importance. The clinical context and physical examination are of great value, but in complex situations as in cardiac care units, it is mandatory the use of advanced hemodynamic monitorization devices, both to determine the main mechanism of shock, as to decide management and guide response to treatment, these devices include pulmonary flotation catheter as the gold standard, as well as more recent techniques including echocardiography and pulmonary ultrasound, among others. This article emphasizes the different shock mechanisms observed in the cardiac care units, with a proposal for approach and treatment.


Resumen Un tercio de la población de pacientes en unidades de cuidados intensivos se encuentran en choque circulatorio, el identificarlo y determinar su mecanismo de manera rápida y eficaz es de gran importancia. El contexto clínico y el examen físico son de gran utilidad, sin embargo existen situaciones de alta complejidad en las que se requiere del uso de las distintas modalidades de monitorización hemodinámica avanzada, tanto para determinar la causa, como para decidir el manejo y guiar respuesta al tratamiento, incluyendo el catéter de flotación pulmonar como gold standard, así como técnicas más recientes incluyendo ecocardiografía y ultrasonido pulmonar, entre otros. Este artículo enfatiza los distintos mecanismos de choque observados en las unidades de cuidados cardiacos, con propuesta de abordaje y tratamiento.
