conferenceObject Quality of life and physical capacity after long-term right ventricular pacing in young adults with congenital atrioventricular block(2012) SILVA, K. R.; COSTA, R.; OLIVEIRA JR., R. M.; MARTINELLI FILHO, M.; LACERDA, M. S.; HUANG, A.; ROSSI, M. B.; MATHIAS JR., W.; PIETROBON, R.; STOLF, N. A. G.Background: Although several studies have demonstrated the deleterious consequences of chronic right ventricular (RV) pacing on ventricular function and synchronicity, its effects on health-related quality of life (HRQL) and physical capacity remains uncertain. Objectives: To evaluate the effect of RV pacing on HRQL and physical capacity of children and young adults with congenital complete atrioventricular (AV) block. Methods: Fifty consecutive patients with permanent RV cardiac pacing due to congenital AV block and under clinical follow-up for more than one year were enrolled. Multidimensional HRQL was assessed with the Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36) and Child Health Questionnaire (CHQ-PF50). Physical capacity was tested by the 6-minute walk distance test (6MWD). The scores for each domain and the distance performed at the 6MWD test were compared with demographic and clinical characteristics of patients, using the Student’s t-test and Qui-squaretest. Results: Domains presenting lower scores were Vitality (63.0±20.6), Pain(66.5±25.1) and Mental Health (67.3±20.4) in the SF-36 questionnaire; General Health Perceptions (64.0±15.0) and Parental Impact-Emotional (69.0±30.0) in the CHQ-PF50. Female gender (P=0.026), DDD pacing mode (0.008) and normal left ventricular ejection fraction (0.002) were associated with higher quality of life scores. The average distance performed at the 6MWD test was 677,2 meters (454,5 to 852,8). The 6MWD showed significant association with age (P=0.004), normal ventricular function (P= 0.031) and the absence of cardiovascular drugs use (P= 0.018). Conclusions: The results of this analysis indicated that chronic RV pacing did not affect the HRQL and physical capacity of young patients. Female gender, DDD pacing, normal ventricular function and the absence of cardiovascular medications were associated with better HRQL scores and with better results at 6MWD test.- European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) international consensus document on how to prevent, diagnose, and treat cardiac implantable electronic device infections-endorsed by the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS), the Asia Pacific Heart Rhythm Society (APHRS), the Latin American Heart Rhythm Society (LAHRS), International Society for Cardiovascular Infectious Diseases (ISCVID), and the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID) in collaboration with the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS)(2020) BLOMSTROM-LUNDQVIST, Carina; TRAYKOV, Vassil; ERBA, Paola Anna; BURRI, Haran; NIELSEN, Jens Cosedis; BONGIORNI, Maria Grazia; POOLE, Jeanne; BORIANI, Giuseppe; COSTA, Roberto; DEHARO, Jean-Claude; EPSTEIN, Laurence M.; SAGHY, Laszlo; SNYGG-MARTIN, Ulrika; STARCK, Christoph; TASCINI, Carlo; STRATHMORE, NeilPacemakers, implantable cardiac defibrillators, and cardiac resynchronization therapy devices are potentially lifesaving treatments for a number of cardiac conditions but are not without risk. Most concerning is the risk of a cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) infection, which is associated with significant morbidity, increased hospitalizations, reduced survival, and increased health care costs. Recommended preventive strategies such as administration of intravenous antibiotics before implantation are well-recognized. Uncertainties have remained about the role of various preventive, diagnostic, and treatment measures such as skin antiseptics, pocket antibiotic solutions, antibacterial envelopes, prolonged antibiotics post-implantation, and others. When compared with previous guidelines or consensus statements, the present consensus document gives guidance on the use of novel device alternatives, novel oral anticoagulants, antibacterial envelopes, prolonged antibiotics post-implantation, as well as definitions on minimum quality requirements for centres and operators and volumes. The recognition that an international consensus document focused on management of CIED infections is lacking, the dissemination of results from new important randomized trials focusing on prevention of CIED infections, and observed divergences in managing device-related infections as found in an European Heart Rhythm Association worldwide survey, provided a strong incentive for a Novel 2019 International State-of-the-art Consensus document on risk assessment, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of CIED infections.
- Glocal Clinical Registries: Pacemaker Registry Design and Implementation for Global and Local Integration - Methodology and Case Study(2013) SILVA, Katia Regina da; COSTA, Roberto; CREVELARI, Elizabeth Sartori; LACERDA, Marianna Sobral; ALBERTINI, Caio Marcos de Moraes; MARTINELLI FILHO, Martino; SANTANA, Jose Eduardo; VISSOCI, Joao Ricardo Nickenig; PIETROBON, Ricardo; BARROS, Jacson V.Background: The ability to apply standard and interoperable solutions for implementing and managing medical registries as well as aggregate, reproduce, and access data sets from legacy formats and platforms to advanced standard formats and operating systems are crucial for both clinical healthcare and biomedical research settings. Purpose: Our study describes a reproducible, highly scalable, standard framework for a device registry implementation addressing both local data quality components and global linking problems. Methods and Results: We developed a device registry framework involving the following steps: (1) Data standards definition and representation of the research workflow, (2) Development of electronic case report forms using REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture), (3) Data collection according to the clinical research workflow and, (4) Data augmentation by enriching the registry database with local electronic health records, governmental database and linked open data collections, (5) Data quality control and (6) Data dissemination through the registry Web site. Our registry adopted all applicable standardized data elements proposed by American College Cardiology/American Heart Association Clinical Data Standards, as well as variables derived from cardiac devices randomized trials and Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium. Local interoperability was performed between REDCap and data derived from Electronic Health Record system. The original data set was also augmented by incorporating the reimbursed values paid by the Brazilian government during a hospitalization for pacemaker implantation. By linking our registry to the open data collection repository Linked Clinical Trials (LinkedCT) we found 130 clinical trials which are potentially correlated with our pacemaker registry. Conclusion: This study demonstrates how standard and reproducible solutions can be applied in the implementation of medical registries to constitute a re-usable framework. Such approach has the potential to facilitate data integration between healthcare and research settings, also being a useful framework to be used in other biomedical registries.
- Effects of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy on Muscle Sympathetic Nerve Activity(2014) KUNIYOSHI, Ricardo R.; MARTINELLI, Martino; NEGRAO, Carlos E.; SIQUEIRA, Sergio F.; RONDON, Maria U. P. B.; TROMBETTA, Ivani C.; KUNIYOSHI, Fatima H. S.; LATERZA, Mateus C.; NISHIOKA, Silvana A. D'Orio; COSTA, Roberto; TAMAKI, Wagner T.; CREVELARI, Elizabeth S.; PEIXOTO, Giselle De Lima; RAMIRES, Jose A. F.; KALIL, RobertoIntroductionMuscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) is an independent prognostic marker in patients with heart failure (HF). Therefore, its relevance to the treatment of HF patients is unquestionable. ObjectivesIn this study, we investigated the effects of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) on MSNA response at rest and during exercise in patients with advanced HF. MethodsWe assessed 11 HF patients (51 3.4 years; New York Heart Association class III-IV; left ventricular ejection fraction 27.8 2.2%; optimal medical therapy) submitted to CRT. Evaluations were made prior to and 3 months after CRT. MSNA was performed at rest and during moderate static exercise (handgrip). Peak oxygen consumption (VO2) was evaluated by means of cardiopulmonary exercise test. HF patients with advanced NYHA class without CRT and healthy individuals were also studied. ResultsCRT reduced MSNA at rest (48.9 +/- 11.1 bursts/min vs 33.7 +/- 15.3 bursts/min, P < 0.05) and during handgrip exercise (MSNA 62.3 +/- 13.1 bursts/min vs 46.9 +/- 14.3 bursts/min, P < 0.05). Among HF patients submitted to CRT, the peak VO2 increased (12.9 +/- 2.8 mL/kg/min vs 16.5 +/- 3.9 mL/kg/min, P < 0.05) and an inverse correlation between peak VO2 and resting MSNA (r = -0.74, P = 0.01) was observed. ConclusionsIn patients with advanced HF and severe systolic dysfunction: (1) a significant reduction of MSNA (at rest and during handgrip) occurred after CRT, and this behavior was significantly superior to HF patients receiving only medical therapy; (2) MSNA reduction after CRT had an inverse correlation with O-2 consumption outcomes.
- Minimally Invasive Epicardial Pacemaker Implantation in Neonates with Congenital Heart Block(2017) COSTA, Roberto; SILVA, Katia Regina da; MARTINELLI FILHO, Martino; CARRILLO, RogerBackground: Few studies have characterized the surgical outcomes following epicardial pacemaker implantation in neonates with congenital complete atrioventricular block (CCAVB). Objective: This study sought to assess the long-term outcomes of a minimally invasive epicardial approach using a subxiphoid access for pacemaker implantation in neonates. Methods: Between July 2002 and February 2015,16 consecutive neonates underwent epicardial pacemaker implantation due to CCAVB. Among these, 12 (75.0%) had congenital heart defects associated with CCAVB. The patients had a mean age of 4.7 +/- 5.3 days and nine (56.3%) were female. Bipolar steroid-eluting epicardial leads were implanted in all patients through a minimally invasive subxiphoid approach and fixed on the diaphragmatic ventricular surface. The pulse generator was placed in an epigastric submuscular position. Results: All procedures were successful, with no perioperative complications or early deaths. Mean operating time was 90.2 +/- 16.8 minutes. None of the patients displayed pacing or sensing dysfunction, and all parameters remained stable throughout the follow-up period of 4.1 +/- 3.9 years. Three children underwent pulse generator replacement due to normal battery depletion at 4.0, 7.2, and 9.0 years of age without the need of ventricular lead replacement. There were two deaths at 12 and 325 days after pacemaker implantation due to bleeding from thrombolytic use and progressive refractory heart failure, respectively. Conclusion: Epicardial pacemaker implantation through a subxiphoid approach in neonates with CCAVB is technically feasible and associated with excellent surgical outcomes and pacing lead longevity.

Most concerning is the risk of a cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) infection, which is associated with significant morbidity, increased hospitalizations, reduced survival, and increased healthcare costs. Recommended preventive strategies such as administration of intravenous antibiotics before implantation are well recognized. Uncertainties have remained about the role of various preventive, diagnostic, and treatment measures such as skin antiseptics, pocket antibiotic solutions, anti-bacterial envelopes, prolonged antibiotics post-implantation, and others. Guidance on whether to use novel device alternatives expected to be less prone to infections and novel oral anticoagulants is also limited, as are definitions on minimum quality requirements for centres and operators and volumes. Moreover, an international consensus document on management of CIED infections is lacking. The recognition of these issues, the dissemination of results from important randomized trials focusing on prevention of CIED infections, and observed divergences in managing device-related infections as found in an European Heart Rhythm Association worldwide survey, provided a strong incentive for a 2019 International State-of-the-art Consensus document on risk assessment, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of CIED infections.
- Validity and reliability of the Brazilian Portuguese version of the Florida Patient Acceptance Survey for patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators(2023) SILVA, Katia Regina; COSTA, Roberto; REBUSTINI, Flavio; MELO, Giovanna Regina Garcia de Oliveira; SAUCEDO, Sarah Caroline Martins; SEARS, SamuelDevice acceptance is a crucial factor in identifying implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) patients at risk for psychosocial distress and unfavorable quality of life outcomes. The purpose of this study was to examine the evidence of the validity of internal structure (construct) and reliability of the Florida Patient Acceptance Survey (FPAS) in a sample of ICD patients, comparing the psychometric indicators of the complete (FPAS-18 item) and abbreviated (FPAS-12 item) versions. The sample included 151 participants (97 males, mean age of 55.7 & PLUSMN; 14.1 years) who completed the cross-culturally adapted version of the FPAS instrument for the Brazilian context. The psychometric properties of both versions of the FPAS instrument were evaluated by two distinct approaches: & BULL; Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis: used to test the internal structure of the instrument & BULL; Cronbach's Alpha and McDonald's Omega: used to determine the reliability of the instrument The two versions of the FPAS-Br instrument showed consistent evidence of internal structure validity and reliability. However, the FPAS-Br 12-item showed a better psychometric adjustment, confirmed by the analysis of the quality indicators of the models.
- Clinical practice and implementation of guidelines for the prevention, diagnosis and management of cardiac implantable electronic device infections: results of a worldwide survey under the auspices of the European Heart Rhythm Association(2019) TRAYKOV, Vassil; BONGIORNI, Maria Grazia; BORIANI, Giuseppe; BURRI, Haran; COSTA, Roberto; DAGRES, Nikolaos; DEHARO, Jean-Claude; EPSTEIN, Laurence M.; ERBA, Paola Anna; SNYGG-MARTIN, Ulrika; NIELSEN, Jens Cosedis; POOLE, Jeanne E.; SAGHY, Laszlo; STARCK, Christoph; STRATHMORE, Neil; BLOMSTROM-LUNDQVIST, CarinaAims Cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) infection rates are increasing. Worldwide compliance and disparities to published guidelines for the prevention, diagnosis and management of these conditions are not well elucidated. The purpose of this survey, therefore, was to clarify these issues through an inquiry to arrhythmia-related associations and societies worldwide. Methods and results A questionnaire comprising 15 questions related to CIED infections was distributed among members of seven arrhythmia societies worldwide. A total of 234 centres in 62 countries reported implantation rates of which 159 (68.0%) performed more than 200 device implantations per year and 14 (6.0%) performed fewer than 50 implantations per year. The reported rates of CIED infections for 2017 were <= 2% in 78.7% of the centres, while the infection rates exceeded 5% in 7.8% of the centres. Preventive measures for CIED infection differed from published recommendations and varied among different regions mainly in terms of pocket irrigation and administering postoperative antimicrobial therapy the use of which was reported by 39.9% and 44% of the respondents, respectively. Antibacterial envelopes were used by 37.7% of the respondents in selected circumstances. In terms of pocket infection management, 62% of the respondents applied complete system removal as an initial step. Diagnostic pocket needle aspiration and pocket surgical debridement were reported by 15.8% and 11.8% of centres, respectively. Conclusion Clinical practices for prevention and management of CIED do not fully comply with current recommendations and demonstrate considerable regional disparities. Further education and programmes for improved implementation of guidelines are mandatory.
- Novel approach to epicardial pacemaker implantation in patients with Limited venous access(2013) COSTA, Roberto; SCANAVACCA, Mauricio; SILVA, Katia Regina da; MARTINELLI FILHO, Martino; CARRILLO, RogerBACKGROUND Limited venous access in certain patients increases the procedural risk and complexity of conventional transvenous pacemaker implantation. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine a minimally invasive epicardial approach using pericardial reflections for dual-chamber pacemaker implantation in patients with limited venous access. METHODS Between June 2006 and November 2011, 15 patients underwent epicardial pacemaker implantation. Procedures were performed through a minimally invasive subxiphoid approach and pericardial window with subsequent fluoroscopy-assisted lead placement. Mean patient age was 46.4 +/- 15.3 years (9 male [(60.0%], 6 female [40.0%]). The new surgical approach was used in patients determined to have limited venous access due to multiple abandoned leads in 5 (33.3%), venous occlusion in 3 (20.0%), intravascular retention of lead fragments from prior extraction in 3 (20.0%), tricuspid valve vegetation currently under treatment in 2 (13.3%), and unrepaired intracardiac defects in 2 (13.3%). RESULTS All procedures were successful with no perioperative complications or early deaths. Mean operating time for isolated pacemaker implantation was 231.7 +/- 33.5 minutes. Lead placement on the superior aspect of right atrium, through the transverse sinus, was possible in 12 patients. In the remaining 3 patients, the atrial lead was implanted on the left atrium through the oblique sinus, the postcaval recess, or the left pulmonary vein recess. None of the patients displayed pacing or sensing dysfunction, and all parameters remained stable throughout the follow-up period of 36.8 +/- 25.1 months. CONCLUSION Epicardial pacemaker implantation through pericardial reflections is an effective alternative therapy for those patients requiring physiologic pacing in whom venous access is limited.
- Quality of life in patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillator: systematic review of randomized controlled trials(2018) SILVA, Katia Regina da; COSTA, Roberto; RODRIGUES, Clarissa Garcia; SCHASECHTER, Andi; NOBRE, Moacyr Cuce; PASSMAN, Rod; MARK, Daniel B.Background: Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapy significantly improves the survival of patients who are at high risk for sudden cardiac death. However, it is unclear whether this survival is accompanied by impairment on quality of life (QoL). Objectives: This systematic review sought to describe whether ICD therapy, as compared with standard treatment, can have an impact on QoL outcomes. Methods: Extensive literature searches were carried out in PubMed, EMBASE, LILACS and Cochrane Library. Eligible studies were randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of ICD versus medical therapy that reported valid and reliable measures of QoL. Included studies were reviewed to determine baseline patient characteristics, mean duration of follow-up, questionnaires used to assess QoL and association between QoL scores and ICD shock therapy. Results: Seven studies, enrolling a total of 5,701 patients, were included in this review. The analyzed trials showed conflicting results about the impact of ICD on QoL outcomes. Among the secondary prevention studies, CIDS reported a clear benefit from ICD and AVID showed no difference between ICD and amiodarone groups. Of the primary prevention trials, AMIOVIRT, MADIT II, DEFINITE, and SCD-HeFT found no evidence of impaired QoL in patients with an ICD. Evidence for an association between ICD shocks and QoL was mixed and seemed to depend on the interval between shocks and QoL assessment. Conclusion: There was no evidence of impaired QoL in patients with an ICD. However, ICD patients must be educated of all possible risks and benefits, including transitory declines in QoL after ICD shocks.
