Abstract

Background: Cardiac disease is 1 of the major causes of maternal mortality. We studied pregnancy outcomes in women with rheumatic mitral valve disease. Methods: The Registry of Pregnancy and Cardiac Disease is an international prospective registry, and consecutive pregnant women with cardiac disease were included. Pregnancy outcomes in all women with rheumatic mitral valve disease and no prepregnancy valve replacement is described in the present study (n=390). A maternal cardiac event was defined as cardiac death, arrhythmia requiring treatment, heart failure, thromboembolic event, aortic dissection, endocarditis, acute coronary syndrome, and hospitalization for other cardiac reasons or cardiac intervention. Associations between patient characteristics and cardiac outcomes were checked in a 3-level model (patient–center–country). Results: Most patients came from emerging countries (75%). Mitral stenosis (MS) with or without mitral regurgitation (MR) was present in 273 women, isolated MR in 117. The degree of MS was mild in 20.9%, moderate in 39.2%, severe in 19.8%, and severity not classified in the remainder. Maternal death during pregnancy occurred in 1 patient with severe MS. Hospital admission occurred in 23.1% of the women with MS, and the main reason was heart failure (mild MS 15.8%, moderate 23.4%, severe 48.1%; P 1 was an independent predictor of maternal cardiac events. Follow-up at 6 months postpartum was available for 53%, and 3 more patients died (1 with severe MS, 1 with moderate MS, 1 with moderate to severe MR). Conclusions: Although mortality was only 1.9% during pregnancy, ≈50% of the patients with severe rheumatic MS and 23% of those with significant MR developed heart failure during pregnancy. Prepregnancy counseling and considering mitral valve interventions in selected patients are important to prevent these complications.

Abstract

Embaràs i malaltia cardíaca; Resultats de l’embaràs; Transposició de les grans artèries Embarazo y enfermedad cardíaca; Resultados del embarazo; Transposición de las grandes arterias Pregnancy and cardiac disease; Pregnancy outcomes, Transposition of the great arteries Background In the past 3 decades, the arterial switch procedure has replaced the atrial switch procedure as treatment of choice for transposition of the great arteries. Although survival is superior after the arterial switch procedure, data on pregnancy outcomes are scarce and transposition of the great arteries after arterial switch is not yet included in the modified World Health Organization classification of maternal cardiovascular risk. Methods and Results The ROPAC (Registry of Pregnancy and Cardiac disease) is an international prospective registry of pregnant women with cardiac disease, part of the European Society of Cardiology EURObservational Research Programme. Pregnancy outcomes in all women after an arterial switch procedure for transposition of the great arteries are described. The primary end point was a major adverse cardiovascular event, defined as combined end point of maternal death, supraventricular or ventricular arrhythmias requiring treatment, heart failure, aortic dissection, endocarditis, ischemic coronary events, and thromboembolic events. Altogether, 41 pregnant women (mean age, 26.7±3.9 years) were included, and there was no maternal mortality. A major adverse cardiovascular event occurred in 2 women (4.9%): heart failure in one (2.4%) and ventricular tachycardia in another (2.4%). One woman experienced fetal loss, whereas no neonatal mortality was observed. Conclusions Women after an arterial switch procedure for transposition of the great arteries tolerate pregnancy well, with a favorable maternal and fetal outcome. During counseling, most women should be reassured that the risk of pregnancy is low. Classification as modified World Health Organization risk class II seems appropriate. Funding from “Zabawas Foundation” and “De Hoop Foundation” in addition to the support from EURObservational Research Programme (EORP) is greatly acknowledged. Since the start of EORP, the following companies have supported the program: Abbott Vascular Int (2011–2021), Amgen Cardiovascular (2009–2018), AstraZeneca (2014–2021), Bayer AG (2009–2018), Boehringer Ingelheim (2009–2019), Boston Scientific (2009–2012), The Bristol Myers Squibb and Pfizer Alliance (2011–2019), Daiichi Sankyo Europe GmbH (2011–2020), The Alliance Daiichi Sankyo Europe GmbH and Eli Lilly and Company (2014–2017), Edwards (2016–2019), Gedeon Richter Plc (2014–2016), Menarini Int Op (2009–2012), MSD‐Merck & Co (2011–2014), Novartis Pharma AG (2014–2020), ResMed (2014–2016), Sanofi (2009–2011), SERVIER (2009–2021), and Vifor (2019–2022).

Abstract

ObjectiveCardiac disease is a major cause of maternal mortality. Data regarding pregnancy outcomes in women with a systemic right ventricle (sRV) are scarce. We studied pregnancy outcomes in women with an sRV after the atrial switch procedure for transposition of the great arteries (TGA) or congenitally corrected TGA (CCTGA).MethodsThe ESC EORP Registry of Pregnancy and Cardiac Disease is an international prospective registry of pregnant women with cardiac disease. Pregnancy outcomes (maternal/fetal) in all women with an sRV are described. The primary end point was a major adverse cardiac event (MACE) defined as maternal death, supraventricular or ventricular arrhythmias requiring treatment, heart failure, aortic dissection, endocarditis, ischaemic coronary event and other thromboembolic events.ResultsAltogether, 162 women with an sRV (TGA n=121, CCTGA n=41, mean age 28.8±4.6 years) were included. No maternal mortality occurred. In 26 women, at least one MACE occurred, heart failure in 16 (9.8%), arrhythmias (atrial 5, ventricular 6) in 11 (6.7%) and others in 4 (2.5%). Prepregnancy signs of heart failure as well as an sRV ejection fraction ConclusionThe majority of women with an sRV tolerated pregnancy well with a favourable maternal and fetal outcome. Heart failure and arrhythmias were the most common MACE.

Abstract

BackgroundCardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death during pregnancy with thoracic aortic dissection being one of the main causes. Thoracic aortic disease is commonly related to hereditary disorders and congenital heart malformations such as bicuspid aortic valve (BAV). Pregnancy is considered a high risk period in women with underlying aortopathy.MethodsThe ESC EORP Registry Of Pregnancy And Cardiac disease (ROPAC) is a prospective global registry that enrolled 5739 women with pre-existing cardiac disease. With this analysis, we aim to study the maternal and fetal outcome of pregnancy in women with thoracic aortic disease.ResultsThoracic aortic disease was reported in 189 women (3.3%). Half of them were patients with Marfan syndrome (MFS), 26% had a BAV, 8% Turner syndrome, 2% vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and 11% had no underlying genetic defect or associated congenital heart defect. Aortic dilatation was reported in 58% of patients and 6% had a history of aortic dissection. Four patients, of whom three were patients with MFS, had an acute aortic dissection (three type A and one type B aortic dissection) without maternal or fetal mortality. No complications occurred in women with a history of aortic dissection. There was no significant difference in median fetal birth weight if treated with a beta-blocker or not (2960 g (2358–3390 g) vs 3270 g (2750–3570 g), p value 0.25).ConclusionThis ancillary analysis provides the largest prospective data review on pregnancy risk for patients with thoracic aortic disease. Overall pregnancy outcomes in women with thoracic aortic disease followed according to current guidelines are good.

Abstract

Background: During pregnancy metabolic disorders that affect differently the fetus, are known. These could be early or late disorders., Objectives: To analyze different biochemical parameters in umbilical cord blood (UCB) of healthy and pathological newborns from mothers with metabolic disorders., Materials and Methods: Samples from UCB (121) were analyzed of newborn from mothers with metabolic disorders who attended at Obstetrics Division. Patients were consecutive, prospective and transversally studied. Newborn were classified as healthy ( n  = 65) and pathological ( n  = 56). The maternal metabolic disorders were gestational or non-gestational diabetes, glucose intolerance, insulin resistance and/or obesity).The disorders of the pathological newborns were intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and/or fetal distress. Glucose (Glu), urea, creatinine, uric acid (UA), total bilirubin (TB), total proteins (TP), albumin (Alb), transaminases (ALT/AST), alkaline-phosphatase (ALP), gammaglutamyltranspeptidase (GGT), creatinkinasa (CK), lactatedehydrogenase, amylase (amy), pseudocholinesterase, iron, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium (Mg), sodium, potassium, chlorine, cholesterol (Chol), HDL-Chol, LDL-Chol, triglycerides (TG), high sensitivity C reactive protein (hsCRP) were determined by recommended methods. T-Student's and Mann Withney tests were applied, p  < .05., Results: Pathological neonates ( n : 56) showed a significant decrease in maternal gestation weeks (GW) and in newborn weight (NW) with respect to healthy newborns ( n : 65) from mothers with metabolic disorders ( p  < .0001). Pathological neonates from mothers with metabolic pathologies ( n : 56) showed significant increases in Chol, TG, TB ( p  < .01), LDL-Chol, UA, Mg, hsCRP, ALP levels ( p  < .05) and significant decreases in TP, Alb ( p  < .0001) and Glu, ALT, CK, GGT, amy ( p  < .05) in UCB with respect to healthy newborns., Conclusions: In pathological newborn, the decrease in GW and NW would be related to IUGR that accompany these metabolic disorders. The increases observed of the analyzed parameters would be related to cellular destruction associated to maternal pathology and decreases of the parameters to IUGR with hepatic immaturity.

Abstract

The etiology leading to neonatal damage is multifactorial, being genital infections one of the causes. The objective of the study was to identify microorganisms of the maternal genital tract that are associated with neonatal damage, in order to prevent future perinatal complications. Seven hundred and eleven pregnant patients attended their prenatal control during the period January 2010-July 2013. Ureaplasma urealyticum and Mycoplasma hominis presence was investigated in umbilical cord blood by metabolic substrates (Micofast-Biomerieux) and that of T.vaginalis, by PCR using specific primers. The microbiological study of the vaginal contents of 288 pregnant patients at weeks 35 to 37 was performed by conventional methods, adding the modified thioglycolate culture for T.vaginalis. GroupB streptococcus (GBS) was investigated in anorectal and vaginal introitus swabs, using selective broth enrichment and subsequent isolation in chromogenic medium. The χ 2 Yates test and Fisher's test were used for independent samples. A p value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. The pathogens significantly related to neonatal damage were M.hominis (p=0.03), T.vaginalis (p=0.03), and BV (p=0.02). Main complications were preterm birth, premature rupture of membranes (PRM), low weight and Apgar score ≤7. U.urealyticum (p=0.35), Candidaspp. (p=0.94) and GBS (p=0.18) were not related to neonatal damage. Since different microorganisms of the maternal genital tract were related to neonatal damage, it is very important to perform the microbiological study of vaginal contents during pregnancy to prevent possible maternal and perinatal complications., (Copyright © 2018 Asociación Argentina de Microbiología.

Abstract

Background: Suturing is the most widely used technique to close leaking sclerotomies after transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy (TSV). However, with the aim of avoiding the disadvantages caused by conjunctival stitches, there have been described other closure techniques, such as the cauterization of the conjunctiva placed over the incisions. To continue advancing knowledge of the incisional occlusion effect achieved by conjunctival diathermy, it would be also interesting to study the wound closure resistance obtained under intraocular pressure (IOP) changes, given that in the early postoperative period eyes are subjected to pressure stress. In our study, we compare the mechanical resistance observed in sclerotomies treated with bipolar diathermy after TSV compared to that found in incisions in which cauterization was not performed., Methods: This was an experimental, randomized, and observer-masked study in which 23-gauge TSV was performed in 80 cadaveric pig eyes. Once each vitrectomy was finished, cauterization was performed with bipolar diathermy forceps on the conjunctiva placed over one of the superior sclerotomy sites; no maneuver was performed over the other superior incision. IOP was gradually increased by means of the vitrectomy system (Accurus; Alcon Laboratories, TX) until one of the superior sclerotomies opened, allowing internal ocular solution to escape., Results: In 35 % of cases (28 of 80 eyes), sclerotomies subjected to diathermy allowed intraocular fluid escape first (p = 0.01). When comparing opening pressure values, cauterized incisions leaked at significantly higher pressure levels than those in which diathermy was not applied (p < 0.001)., Conclusions: Bipolar diathermy on sutureless sclerotomies has demonstrated to be, in our experimental model, an effective method for increasing the sclerotomy closure resistance. Although its use in vitrectomized eyes has previously been described, our study is the first to analyze the response of cauterized sclerotomies to IOP increases.

Abstract

Purpose: To assess the influence that hydration applied on the sclerotomy edges may have on incisional closure resistance after transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy (TSV)., Methods: Experimental, randomized and observer-masked study in which 23-gauge TSV was performed in 80 cadaveric pig eyes. Once each vitrectomy was finished, hydration with balanced salt solution (BSS) was applied on the sclerotomy edges of one of the superior incision sites; no maneuver was performed on the other superior sclerotomy. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was gradually increased by means of the vitrectomy system (Accurus; Alcon Laboratories, TX) until one of the superior sclerotomies opened, allowing internal ocular solution to escape., Results: In 45% of cases (36 of 80 eyes), sclerotomies subjected to hydration allowed intraocular fluid escape (p = 0.43). There were no differences when comparing opening pressure values of hydrated and non-hydrated sclerotomies (p = 0.19)., Conclusions: Scleral hydration did not demonstrate increase in the sclerotomy closure resistance in our experimental model. Given the widespread use of sutureless TSV around the world, the results obtained in our research, in spite of being negative, may contribute to the knowledge of the behavior of sutureless sclerotomies.

Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the relationship between the photoreceptor layer status (inner segment ellipsoid band and external limiting membrane) and the foveal avascular zone size, as a result of macular perfusion, in patients with diabetic macular edema., Methods: This observational case series study included 151 eyes of 118 patients with naive diabetic macular edema. The length of the disrupted photoreceptor layer was assessed by optical coherence tomography. The foveal avascular zone diameter was measured on fluorescein angiogram., Results: No significant association was found between the foveal avascular zone size and the mean lengths of the disrupted inner segment ellipsoid band nor the external limiting membrane in patients with naive diabetic macular edema., Conclusion: Macular ischemia, which lengthens the distance from the perifoveal vessels to the center of the fovea and may disrupt the normal flow of nutrients by simple diffusion to the photoreceptor line, does not seem to influence on inner segment ellipsoid band nor external limiting membrane integrity. Future studies may evaluate the effect of choroidal vascularization on the photoreceptor layer status to enhance the knowledge about the photoreceptor layer nutrients source.

Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the influence that the origin of incisional vitreous incarceration may have on the presence of postoperative conjunctival blebs over sclerotomies after transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy (TSV). Blebs are formed by incisional leakage due to incompetent closure., Methods: Twenty-three-gauge TSV was performed in 83 cadaveric pig eyes. Once each vitrectomy was finished, ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) was used to assess the presence of postoperative conjunctival blebs over the sclerotomy sites, as well as the existence of vitreous incarcerated in incisions. Vitreous strands may come from the perisclerotomy area, running parallel to the sclera toward the inner hole of the sclerotomies, or may radiate from the core of the vitreous cavity., Results: Vitreous entrapment was found in 73.9% of the sclerotomies; 43.4% of the incisions showed vitreous strands coming parallel to the sclera (12.9% of them showed conjunctival bleb), 19.7% of the wounds presented vitreous aiming toward the core of the vitreous cavity (2% of them had conjunctival bleb) and 10.8% of the entrances presented both vitreous incarceration sources (none of them showed bleb). Incisions with vitreous entrapment parallel to the sclera were associated with a significantly greater sclerotomy leakage rate., Conclusions: Sclerotomies with vitreous incarceration coming from the core of the vitreous cavity showed a greater incisional closure competency than that observed in incisions with vitreous entrapment coming from the pericannular area; if these results were confirmed in humans, different postoperative suture rates may be expected on sclerotomies according to the vitrectomy degree performed in different areas of the vitreous cavity.

Abstract

Background: The aim of this study was to compare the outcome of 3 months vs. 18 months of amiodarone treatment after atrial fibrillation (AF) conversion in patients who experienced the first episode of persistent AF., Methods: We included 51 patients who experienced the first episode of persistent AF receiving amiodarone (600 mg) daily for 4-6 weeks. If AF persisted, electrical cardioversion (ECV) was performed. All patients received amiodarone (200 mg daily) for 3 months and then were randomized to amiodarone (Group I) or placebo (Group II) and followed for 15 months. The control group comprised 9 untreated patients undergoing ECV. Treatment effectiveness was evaluated using a Bayesian model., Results: Eighteen months after AF reversion, 22 (81.5%) patients in Group I, 13 (54.2%) patients in Group II, and 1 (11.1%) patient in the control group remained in sinus rhythm. No differences were found between Group I patients who required ECV and Group II patients. Sinus rhythm was preserved in all Group I patients when it was achieved during amiodarone administration. Limiting adverse effects occurred in 3 (11.1%) patients in Group I., Conclusions: In patients regaining sinus rhythm after the first episode of persistent AF, a 3-month amiodarone treatment after reversion is a reasonable option for rhythm control.

Abstract

Hypothyroidism during pregnancy is infrequent, but its presence is associated with maternal and fetal complications. We present the case of a young pregnant woman with no previous history of cardiovascular disease, who consulted for orthopnea, chest pain and edema in both legs. Laboratory tests demonstrated a hypothyroid condition and a nephrotic syndrome with renal failure. The echo-Doppler exam showed a four chamber dilatation with systolic dysfunction. Treatment with intravenous levothyroxine improved her medical condition. We analyze the effects of thyroid hormone on the heart and vascular system and discuss the pathophysiologic mechanisms of heart failure during pregnancy.

Abstract

The antiarrhythmic effects of amiodarone hydrochloride 200 to 600 mg/daily were studied in 25 patients with ventricular tachycardia (VT). The arrhythmia was registered on a 24 hours two channel Holter recording. This study was performed before and after one month treatment with the drug. The adequate suppression of the VT was observed in 25 patients. The drug showed a total suppression of ventricular ectopic activity in 10 patients (40%) (4 at a dose of 200 mg/daily, 5 at 400 mg/daily and 1 at 600 mg/daily) and a satisfactory reduction (total suppression of couplets and VT and more than 85% reduction of premature ventricular beat frequency) in 12 patients (48%) (6 at a dose of 200 mg/daily, 5 at a dose of 400 mg/daily and 1 at a dose of 600 mg/daily). After a mean follow up of 15.9 months on continuous amiodarone therapy there have been no recurrences of arrhythmia on Holter recordings. No patient died during the study. Side effects were minimal and limited to corneal microdeposits at slit lamp examination without impairment of visual acuity. According to our results amiodarone is an excellent and safe agent for the treatment of complex ventricular arrhythmias.

Abstract

Sudden death following steroid pulse therapy has been recently reported. Continuous electrocardiographic recording was performed 24 hours before, during, and 24 hours after each one to three high dose intravenous methyl prednisolone pulses administered of five patients with severe ankylosing spondylitis unresponsive to conventional therapy. No increase in supraventricular or ventricular arrhythmias was observed. Bradyarrhythmias, conduction disturbances or ischemic changes were not found. Cardiovascular symptoms did not occur in any case; there were no significative changes in any of the clinical controls. Transient elevations of serum glucose were observed in all patients. Although a transient increase in potassium and decrease in sodium urinary excretion was noted, serum levels remained within normal values.
