RESUMO
Introducción: El metilfenidato (MTF) es un psicoestimulante que aumenta frecuencia cardiaca (FC) y presión arterial (PA), lo cual a largo plazo podría modificar la geometría del ventrículo izquierdo (VI) y alterar sus propiedades funcionales, principalmente la diastólica. Material y métodos: Estudio prospectivo, longitudinal y comparativo tipo caso-caso en niños y adolescentes sanos diagnosticados de trastorno por déficit de atención e hiperactividad (TDAH) tratados con MTF durante 3 años. Se valoró pre y postratamiento PAS/PAD, geometría ventricular, función sistólica y diastólica. Resultados: Incluimos a 112 pacientes, completando 73. El 75,3% varones, entre 4-15 años (9±2,6), con índice de masa corporal de 18,27±3,75 y una dosis media de MTF de 0,9±0,17mg/kg/día. Objetivamos aumento de PAS/PAD de 3,7±9mmHg (p = 0,004) y 2±11,5mmHg, respectivamente. No tuvimos ningún evento cardiovascular grave, cambios estructurales ni variación en los parámetros de función sistólica estudiados. Sin embargo, encontramos un aumento discreto, pero progresivo y significativo del tiempo de relajación isovolumétrica del VI (p = 0,046) y del tiempo de desaceleración (p = 0,016) indicativos de alteración en la relajación. No observamos variación en los parámetros relacionados con la distensibilidad ni con las presiones diastólicas tempranas y ningún paciente cumplió criterios de disfunción diastólica. Conclusiones: El incremento de PAS/PAD y las alteraciones de la relajación del VI objetivadas podrían ser un indicador precoz de una posible disfunción diastólica y riesgo cardiovascular a largo plazo.(AU)
Introduction: Although methylphenidate (MPH) used for treatment of Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are considered safe in healthy children and adolescents in the short and medium term, there is a widespread concern about long-term cardiovascular safety. Material and methods: Interventional, prospective, longitudinal and comparative study with a crossover design to evaluate the cardiovascular impact of the treatment with MPH in healthy children and adolescents diagnosed with ADHD. A protocol for the cardiovascular evaluation was established at a basal point, after the first and the second year of the beginning with treatment based on the monitoring of Blood pressure (BP) and echocardiographic follow-up of the systolic and diastolic functions, and structural cardiac properties. Results: 73 patients completed the study, with an average age of 9+/- 2.6 years, 75.3% were male and the majority were thin (64.4%). We found an increase in Systolic and Diastolic BP of 3.7±9mmHg (P).004) and 2±11,5mmHg respectively. There were no severe cardiovascular events. We didnt find any echocardiographic alterations namely on the structural properties or parameters of systolic function. Regarding diastolic function, a significant increase in the isovolumic relaxation time (IVRT) (P=.046) and deceleration time (P=.016) was observed. However, no significant alterations in the parameters related to distensibility of the LV neither in the early diastolic pressure were found. Conclusion: Further studies are needed to evaluate the impact of psychostimulants as a modifiable long-term Cardiovascular Risk Factor.(AU)
