Abstract Introduction Recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) within the blanking period after catheter ablation (CA) is traditionally classified as a transient and benign event. However, recent findings suggest that early recurrence (ER) associated with late (LR), challenging predefined “blanking period”. We aimed to determine clinical procedural predictors ER LR CA establish risk in patients who experience ER. Methods Results Retrospective single‐centre study including all underwent first...
Abstract Presentation We report a case of 44-year-old woman with past medical history dyslipidemia under atorvastatin, overweight and depression, that presented to the emergency department 1-month dyspnea. On physical examination, blood pressure was within normal range, however she hypoxemic, needing oxygen via nasal cannula, tachycardic. Pulmonary auscultation revealed basal crackles. Blood workup showed discrete leukocytosis, increased C-reactive protein, mild hypertransaminasemia troponin...
A 35-year-old male, with a medical history of acute myocarditis, presented palpitations. Further investigation revealed non-sustained ventricular tachycardia and slightly reduced left systolic function. Cardiac magnetic resonance showed extended late gadolinium enhancement the ventricle fat infiltration. Genetic testing was positive for pathogenic desmoplakin mutation, fulfilling criteria arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy. In conclusion, authors described case mimicked myocarditis at young age...
Abstract Introduction Some studies have suggested that the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after catheter ablation (CA) is greater in women than men, which suggests sex may be an independent factor for AF recurrence. However, impact gender on time to CA unknown. Methods Retrospective, single-centre study including all patients who underwent a first procedure between 2017 and 2021. Late (LR) was defined as any at least 90 days ablation, while early (ER) occurred <90...
Abstract Introduction Discontinuation of antiplatelet therapy is essential for patients in the perioperative period submitted to high bleeding risk non-cardiac surgery (NCS). Similarly, oral anticoagulants should be interrupted before surgical procedures, excluding with mechanical heart valves together any thromboembolic factors. Interruption this medication may increase events, however, their frequency still remains unclear. Purpose We aim evaluate and events due cessation antithrombotic...
Abstract Introduction Pre-operative cardiovascular assessment of patients with high ischaemic risk is fundamental to give the best perioperative management. Morbi-mortality mainly due patient-related and surgery-related risk. However, scores are very heterogeneous derived from non-cardiac populations, making them less accurate. Purpose The study aims characterize a cohort ischemic who underwent surgery identify predictors major adverse events (MACE) defined by urgent revascularization,...
Abstract Summary of case: A 67-year-old man presented to the emergency department (ED) with acute chest pain. He had previous diagnosis Kawasaki disease (KD) made when he was 51 years-old in a event myocardial infarction. Upon admission, his blood pressure 100/70 mm Hg, heart rate 55 beats/min, apyretic. Clinical examination unremarkable. Electrocardiogram showed synus rhythm without any ST-T alterations. An echocardiogram mildly decreased left ventricular function (LVEF) 44% by biplane...
Abstract Clinical case A 39-year-old smoker woman underwent a percutaneous coronary intervention with two Zotarolimus-eluting stents implantation due to right artery occlusion in the context of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (MI). She was medicated dual antiplatelet therapy and high-intensity statin stopped smoking. Nine months later, angina symptoms, cardiac catheterization intravascular ultrasound showed severe restenosis, treated drug-coated balloon (DCB). Two she admitted non-ST...
Abstract Background Undercovering the etiology responsible for pathologic states is of uttermost importance, especially regarding young people. Arterial and venous thromboembolism may have an impact on morbidity mortality, enhancing need to prevent recurrences. Material methods Retrospective, single-centre analysis 24-h Holter monitoring in patients with thrombotic events less than 40 years during a 5-year period, using IBM® SPSS® software perform descriptive analysis. Results conclusions...
