          Abstract

          RESUMEN Las enfermedades cardiovasculares son la primera causa de muerte en el mundo actual. La cardiopatía isquémica conlleva a una importante carga de gastos de Salud Pública, por lo cual es importante conocer la incidencia de pacientes con síndrome coronario agudo (SCA) y su respectivo comportamiento. Este trabajo estudió el tiempo de asistencia al Servicio de Urgencias desde el inicio de la angina de pecho en pacientes con SCA, y evaluó la relación entre factores de riesgo acumulado e incidencia de SCA con elevación del segmento ST (SCACEST). La población de estudio fue de 89 pacientes con SCA, siendo el promedio de edad general de 65 años, el 63% de los pacientes que era del sexo masculino tenía una edad promedio de 61,76 años y el resto del sexo femenino tenía como edad promedio 70,51 años. El 40% de los pacientes presentó SCACEST, el 24% del total de pacientes llegó antes de las 3 horas de iniciados los síntomas lo cual no guardó relación con la procedencia de los mismos. La hipertensión arterial y la diabetes mellitus fueron los factores de riesgo predominantes. Aún permanece alto el porcentaje de pacientes que acuden fuera del periodo terapéutico adecuado (76%), y esta cifra se mantiene sin diferencia significativa si se clasifican de acuerdo a la procedencia. Cada factor de riesgo cardiovascular aumenta la posibilidad de desarrollar un SCACEST a más del 10% en pacientes con SCA.

          ABSTRACT Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in the world. Ischemic cardiomyopathy produces an important economic burden to public health. Therefore, it is important to know the incidence of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). This study investigates consultation time at the hospital emergency service from the beginning of symptoms in patients with ACS. In addition, it evaluates the relation between accumulated risk factors and the incidence of ACS with ST segment elevation. The study population comprised 89 patients with ACS with an average of 65 years of age. Sixty three percent of the patients were male and had an average of 61.7 years of age while female population had an average of 70.5 years of age. The percentage of patients with ACS with ST elevation was 40%. Only 24% of the total number of patients arrived within the first 3 hours to the hospital, and it was unrelated to the place where they came from. The predominant risk factors were arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus. The percentage of people who arrive out of the adequate therapeutic window (76%) still remain high. However, the difference is not statistical significant if it is classified by site of origin. Each of the cardiovascular risk factors increases by 10% the chance of developing ACS with ST elevation in patients with ACS.

          Trends in presenting characteristics and hospital mortality among patients with ST elevation and non-ST elevation myocardial infarction in the National Registry of Myocardial Infarction from 1990 to 2006.

          Although ST elevation (STEMI) and non-ST elevation (NSTEMI) myocardial infarction (AMI) have been the focus of intense clinical investigation, limited information exists on characteristics and hospital mortality of patients not enrolled in clinical trials. Previous large databases have reported declining mortality of patients with STEMI but have not noted substantial mortality change among those with NSTEMI. The National Registry of Myocardial Infarction enrolled 2,515,106 patients at 2,157 US hospitals from 1990 to 2006. Of these, we evaluated 1,950,561 with diagnoses reflecting acute myocardial ischemia on admission. From 1990 to 2006, the proportion of NSTEMI increased from 14.2% to 59.1% (P < .0001), whereas the proportion of STEMI decreased. Mean age increased (from 64.1 to 66.4 years, P < .0001) as did the proportion of females (from 32.4% to 37.0%, P < .0001). Patients were less likely to report prior angina, prior AMI, or family history of coronary artery disease but more likely to report history of diabetes, hypertension, current smoking, heart failure, prior revascularization, stroke, and hyperlipidemia. From 1994 to 2006, hospital mortality fell among all patients (10.4% to 6.3%), STEMI (11.5% to 8.0%), and NSTEMI (7.1% to 5.2%), (all P < .0001). After adjustment for baseline covariates, hospital mortality fell among all patients by 23.6% (odds ratio [OR] 0.764, 95% CI 0.744-0.785), STEMI by 24.2% (OR 0.758, 0.732-0.784), and NSTEMI by 22.6% (OR 0.774, 0.741-0.809), all P < .001. This large, observational database from 1990 to 2006 shows increasing prevalence of NSTEMI and, despite higher risk profile on presentation, falling risk-adjusted hospital mortality in patients with either STEMI or NSTEMI.

              Bivalirudin versus heparin in patients planned for percutaneous coronary intervention: a meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.

              Bivalirudin is an alternative to heparin in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We aimed to define the effects of a bivalirudin-based anticoagulation regimen compared with a heparin-based anticoagulation regimen on ischaemic and bleeding outcomes.
