Además, en esta edición cumplimos nueve números sucesivos en los cuales in- cluimos trabajos de reconocidos especialistas extranjeros, con el ambicioso objetivo de lograr su indexación en la base de datos de la biblioteca nacional de medicina de Estados Unidos (PubMed/Medline). Es por este motivo que solicitamos a nuestros colegas y autores, tanto argentinos como extranjeros, que intenten refe- renciar artículos de la RACI en sus publicaciones, incluso en aquellas realizadas en revistas incluidas en PubMed; sabemos que existen restricciones en algunos casos, pero muchas de las revistas indexadas en este motor de búsqueda aceptan referencias de artículos publicados en revistas científi cas no incluidas en esa bi- blioteca. Este hecho, no menor, cobra relevancia a la hora de lograr nuestro objetivo de incorporar en un fu- turo nuestra revista a Medline/PubMed. Con este número publicamos los más de 200 abstracts de los trabajos aprobados que se presentarán en el Congreso SOLACI/CACI 2014. Muchos de ellos son estudios clínicos randomizados de gran calidad, por lo que agradecemos a las autoridades de dicho Congreso el darnos esta posibilidad. Finalmente, quiero compartir con ustedes y toda la Cardiología y Angiología Intervencionista de nuestro país los 25 años de la creación de la carrera de nuestra especialidad, trabajo mancomunado entre el CACI y la Universidad de Buenos Aires, que sin duda fue un antes y un después en la formación de cardiólogos y an- giólogos intervencionistas en nuestro país y toda América Latina. La enseñanza y el entrenamiento programado y sistemático de posgrado es sin duda el método más idóneo para el desarrollo de nuestras diferentes especializaciones y cobra mayor relevancia en aquellas de cambio continuo “hacia adelante”. Para todos aquellos que de una u otra manera estuvimos involucrados en esta ta- rea ya sea como directores asociados, docentes o partícipes en los centros de entrenamiento, también es un motivo de festejo y satisfacción. Un especial agradecimiento para su iniciador y actual director de la carrera, Marcelo Ruda Vega, quien supo combinar la experiencia práctica con la enseñanza académica. Alfredo E.

  • Trends of Increasing Medical Radiation Exposure in a Population Hospitalized for Cardiovascular Disease (1970–2009)
    Trends of Increasing Medical Radiation Exposure in a Population Hospitalized for Cardiovascular Disease (1970–2009) Clara Carpeggiani*, Patrizia Landi, Claudio Michelassi, Paolo Marraccini, Eugenio Picano CNR, Institute of Clinical Physiology, Pisa, Italy Abstract Background: High radiation doses employed in cardiac imaging may increase cancer frequency in exposed patients after decades. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relative trends in medical radiation exposure in a population hospitalized for cardiovascular disease. Methods and Results: An observational single-center study was conducted to examine 16,431 consecutive patients with heart disease admitted to the Italian National Research Council Institute of Clinical Physiology between January 1970 and December 2009. In all patients, the cumulative estimated effective dose was obtained from data mining of electronic records of hospital admissions, adopting the effective dose typical values of the American Heart Association 2009 statement and Mettler’s 2008 catalog of doses. Cumulative estimated effective dose per patient in the last 5 years was 22 (12–42) mSv (median, 25th–75th percentiles), with higher values in ischemic heart disease (IHD), 37 (20–59) vs non-IHD, 13 (8–22) mSv, p,0.001. Trends in radiation exposure showed a steady increase in IHD and a flat trend in non-IHD patients, with variation from 1970–74 to 2005–2009 of +155% for IHD (p,0.001) and 21% in non-IHD (NS). The relative contribution of different imaging techniques was remodeled over time, with nuclear cardiology dominating in 1970s (23% of individual exposure) and invasive fluoroscopy in the last decade (90% of individual exposure). Conclusion: A progressive increase in cumulative estimated effective dose is observed in hospitalized IHD patients.

Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein,3 São Paulo, SP – Brazil. Abstract Background: There has been an increase in the number of cases of Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) and of scientific publications on the theme over the last years. However, little is known about the status of this disease in Brazilian hospitals. Objective: To assess mortality and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) during hospitalization and follow-up of TTS patients seen in a tertiary hospital in Brazil. Methods: This was a retrospective, observational study on 48 patients. Clinical data, signs and symptoms, complementary tests, MACE and all-cause mortality were assessed on admission and during follow-up. Kaplan-Meier curves were used for analysis of all-cause mortality and risk for MACE at median follow-up. The 95% confidence interval was also calculated for a significance level of 5%. Results: Mean age of patients was 71 years (SD±13 years), and most patients were women (n=41; 85.4%). During hospitalization, four patients (8.3%) died and five (10.4%) developed MACE.

  • Quadricuspid Aortic Valve and a Ventricular Septal Defect in a Horse
    Michlik et al. BMC Veterinary Research 2014, 10:142 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1746-6148/10/142 CASE REPORT Open Access Quadricuspid aortic valve and a ventricular septal defect in a horse Katarzyna M Michlik1*, Anna K Biazik2, Radomir Z Henklewski2, Marta A Szmigielska2, Józef M Nicpoń1 and Urszula Pasławska1 Abstract Background: Quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) and ventricular septal defect (VSD) are congenital heart defects and have been described in both human and veterinary medical literature. Case presentation: A 5-year-old half-bred bay stallion was referred for surgical castration. Cardiac murmurs were heard on the presurgical clinical examination and the cardiac examination revealed subcutaneous oedema, tachycardia with a precodrial thrill and a grade 5/6 pansystolic murmur, which was heard on auscultation of the right and left side of the chest. Examination of the B-mode echocardiograms revealed the presence of a QAV (one small cusp, two equal-sized cusps, and one large cusp) and VSD in the membranous portion of the intraventricular septum. These two congenital cardiac defects were accompanied by mild aortic valve regurgitation and severe tricuspid regurgitation. Despite the presence of these cardiac defects, the horse underwent surgical castration under general anesthesia. Surgery, anaesthesia and recovery from anaesthesia were uneventful. The gelding was euthanasied after 17 months because of a progressive loss of body weight, weakness and recumbency. Conclusion: A QAV in combination with VSD in a horse is an interesting finding, because to the best of our knowledge, this has not been previously described in equine literature. Keywords: Horse, Quadricuspid aortic valve, Ventricular septal defect, Congenital heart defect, Echocardiography Background congenital heart disease in horses, among which Arabian A quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) is a congenital heart horses exhibit particular predisposition to this disorder [9].

  • 12 Injection Catheters
    SECTION IV: ANGIOGRAPHIC TECHNIQUES 10/25/00 3:37 PM 12 Cardiac Ventriculography Donald S. Baim and L. David Hillis DSB: Harvard Medical School; Center for Innovative Minimally Invasive Therapy, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts 02115. LDH: Department of Medicine, Division of Cardiology, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, Texas 75235 Cardiac ventriculography is used to define the anatomy and function of the ventricles and related structures in patients with congenital, valvular, coronary, and myopathic heart disease (1–5). Specifically, left ventriculography may provide valuable information about global and segmental left ventricular function, mitral valvular incompetence, and the presence, location, and severity of a number of other abnormalities such as ventricular septal defect, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, or left ventricular mural thrombus. As a result, left ventriculography is a routine part of diagnostic cardiac catheterization in patients being evaluated for coronary artery disease, aortic or mitral valvular disease, unexplained left ventricular failure, or congenital heart disease. Similarly, right ventriculography may provide information about global and segmental right ventricular function and can be especially helpful in patients with congenital heart disease. In reality, however, right ventriculography is rarely performed in an adult cardiac catheterization laboratory. INJECTION CATHETERS To achieve adequate opacification of the left or right ventricle, it is necessary to deliver a relatively large amount of contrast material in a relatively short time. In adults, a 6F, 7F, or 8F catheter with multiple side-holes allows rapid delivery of contrast material while allowing the catheter to remain in a stable position during injection, thereby producing no disturbance of cardiac rhythm.

There are several aspects that can be monitored, which are used to differentiate between the types of muscular disorders, ranging from the targeted muscle up to the mutated gene. An aspect that holds critical importance when managing muscular dystrophies is that most of them exhibit cardiac abnormalities. Therefore, cardiac imaging is an essential part of muscular disorder monitoring and management. In the first section of the review, several cardiac abnormalities are introduced; afterward, different muscular dystrophies’ pathogenesis is presented. Not all muscular dystrophies necessarily present cardiac involvement; however, the ones that do are linked with the cardiac abnormalities described in the first section. Moreover, studies from the last 3 years on muscular disorders are presented alongside imaging techniques used to determine cardiac abnormalities. Keywords: neuromuscular disorders; cardiac abnormalities; muscular dystrophies; cardiac imaging Citation: B˘adil˘a,E.; Lungu, I.I.; Grumezescu, A.M.; Scafa Udris, te, A.
