Introducción y objetivos: La epidemia de COVID-19 la declaración del estado alarma han propiciado una disminución en actividad cardiología intervencionista.El objetivo este estudio es cuantificar esta disminución, con especial interés el funcionamiento código infarto.Métodos: Se realizó encuesta telemática a 81 centros las 17 comunidades autónomas españolas procedimientos infarto.Se recogió información sobre diagnóstica, intervencionismo coronario, estructural seno infarto agudo miocardio...
The aim of this study was to assess clinical and prognosis differences in patients with COVID-19 STEMI.Using a nationwide registry consecutive managed within 42 specific STEMI care networks, we compared patient procedure characteristics in-hospital outcomes two different cohorts, according whether or not they had COVID-19. Among 1,010 patients, 91 were identified as having (9.0%). With the exception smoking status (more frequent non-COVID-19 patients) previous coronary artery disease...
Renal denervation (RDN) has been shown to lower blood pressure (BP), but its effects on cardiovascular events have only preliminarily evaluated. Time in therapeutic range (TTR) of BP is associated with events. This study sought assess the impact catheter-based RDN TTR and association outcomes GSR (Global SYMPLICITY Registry). Patients uncontrolled hypertension were enrolled treated radiofrequency RDN. Office ambulatory systolic (OSBP ASBP) measured at 3, 6, 12, 24, 36 months postprocedure...
Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) has demonstrated effectiveness in the treatment of calcified lesions selected patients with stable coronary disease.
Abstract Objective : To investigate the effects of surgically induced weight loss on exercise capacity in patients with morbid obesity (MO). Research Methods and Procedures A prospective 1‐year follow‐up study was carried out, being their own controls. symptom‐limited cardiopulmonary stress test performed 31 MO (BMI > 40 kg/m 2 ) before 1 year after undergoing bariatric surgery. Results At surgery, reduced from 146 ± 33 to 95 19 kg ( p < 0.001), BMI went 51 4 6 0.001). After loss,...
<h3>Objectives:</h3> To identify the therapeutic regimens used at discharge in patients receiving oral anticoagulant therapy (OAT) who undergo stenting percutaneous coronary intervention and stent implantation (PCI-S), to assess safety efficacy associated with different according thromboembolic risk. <h3>Design:</h3> A prospective multicentre registry. <h3>Setting:</h3> In hospital, after follow-up by telephone call. <h3>Patients methods:</h3> 405 (328 male/77 female; mean (SD) age 71 (9)...
Vessel plaque assessment by analysis of intravascular ultrasound sequences is a useful tool for cardiac disease diagnosis and intervention. Manual detection luminal (inner) media-adventitia (external) vessel borders the main activity physicians in process lumen narrowing (plaque) quantification. Difficult definition border descriptors, as well as, shades, artifacts, blurred signal response due to physical properties trouble automated adventitia segmentation. In order efficiently approach...
The preferred reperfusion strategy for early ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI, defined as time from symptoms onset ≤120 min) in non-capable percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) centres remains controversial. We sought to compare mortality of situ fibrinolysis vs. PCI transfer a real-life consecutive cohort STEMI.Prospective multicentre STEMI registry (Catalonia 'Codi IAM' network) all-comers centre with symptom first medical contact (FMC) <120 min. Two groups were identified:...
Abstract Background During COVID‐19 pandemic in Spain, elective procedures were canceled or postponed, mainly due to health care systems overwhelming. Objective The objective of this study was evaluate the consequences interrupting invasive patients with chronic cardiac diseases outbreak Spain. Methods population is comprised 2,158 that pending on 37 hospitals Spain 14th March 2020, when a state alarm and subsequent lockdown declared pandemic. These followed‐up until April 31th. Results Out...
BACKGROUND: Sacubitril/valsartan (Sac/Val) is superior to angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors in reducing the risk of heart failure hospitalization and cardiovascular death, but its mechanistic data on myocardial scar after infarction (MI) are lacking. The objective this work was assess effects Sac/Val inflammation, fibrosis, electrophysiological properties, ventricular tachycardia inducibility post-MI remodeling swine. METHODS: After MI, 22 pigs were randomized receive β-blocker (BB;...
Carotid and coronary vascular incidents are mostly caused by vulnerable plaques. Detection characterization of plaques important for early disease diagnosis treatment. For this purpose, the echomorphology composition have been studied. Several distributions used to describe ultrasonic data depending on tissues, acquisition conditions, equipment. Among them, Rayleigh distribution is a one-parameter model raw envelope RF ultrasound signal its simplicity, whereas Nakagami (a generalization...
Selecting an ideal antithrombotic therapy for elderly patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) can be challenging since they have a higher thromboembolic and bleeding risk than younger patients. The current study aimed to assess the efficacy safety of triple (TT: oral anticoagulation plus dual antiplatelet therapy: aspirin clopidogrel) in ≥75 years age (PCI).
