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.conferenceObject Prospective study of thromboembolic events after reoperation in permanent artificial cardiac pacing(2018) ALBERTINI, C. M.; SILVA, K. R.; LEAL FILHO, J. M.; MARTINELLI FILHO, M.; COSTA, R.- 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.
- Effectiveness and Safety of Transvenous Removal of Cardiac Pacing and Implantable Cardioverter-defibrillator Leads in the Real Clinical Scenario(2020) COSTA, Roberto; SILVA, Katia Regina da; CREVELARI, Elizabeth Sartori; NASCIMENTO, Wagner Tadeu Jurevicius; NAGUMO, Marcia Mitie; MARTINELLI FILHO, Martino; JATENE, Fabio BiscegliBackground: Transvenous lead extraction (TLE) of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) is an uncommon procedure and requires specialized personnel and adequate facilities. Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the removal of CIED leads and to determine risk factors for surgical complications and mortality in 30 days. Methods: Prospective study with data derived from clinical practice. From January 2014 to April 2020, we included 365 consecutive patients who underwent TLE, regardless of the indication and surgical technique used. The primary outcomes were: success rate of the procedure, combined rate of major complications and intraoperative death. Secondary outcomes were: risk factors for major intraoperative complications and death within 30 days. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used, with a significance level of 5%. Results: Procedure success rate was 96.7%, with 90.1% of complete success and 6.6% of clinical success. Major intraoperative complications occurred in 15 (4.1%) patients. Predictors of major complications were: lead dwelling time >= 7 years (OR = 3.78, p = 0.046) and change in surgical strategy (OR = 5.30, p = 0.023). Functional class III-IV (OR = 6.98, p <0.001), renal failure (OR = 5.75, p = 0.001), CIED infection (OR = 13.30, p <0.001), number of procedures performed (OR = 77.32, p <0.001) and major intraoperative complications (OR = 38.84, p <0.001) were predictors of 30-day mortality. Conclusions: The results of this study, which is the largest prospective registry of consecutive TLE procedures in Latin America, confirm the safety and effectiveness of this procedure in the context of real clinical practice.
conferenceObject Role of cardiac arrhythmias in sudden cardiac death in renal transplant candidates(2014) MARTINELLI FILHO, M.; PEIXOTO, G. L.; SILVA, R. T.; SIQUEIRA, S. F.; LIMA, J. J. G.; TEIXEIRA, R. A.; PEDROSA, A. A. A.; COSTA, R.; NISHIOKA, S. A. D.- Long-Term Follow-Up of Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator for Secondary Prevention in Chagas' Heart Disease(2012) MARTINELLI, Martino; SIQUEIRA, Sergio Freitas de; STERNICK, Eduardo Back; RASSI JR., Anis; COSTA, Roberto; RAMIRES, Jose Antonio Franchini; KALIL FILHO, RobertoAssessing the efficacy of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD) in patients with Chagas' heart disease (ChHD) and identifying the clinical predictors of mortality and ICD shock during long-term follow-up. ChHD is associated with ventricular tachyarrhythmias and an increased risk of sudden cardiac death. Although ChHD is a common form of cardiomyopathy in Latin American ICD users, little is known about its efficacy in the treatment of this population. The study cohort included 116 consecutive patients with ChHD and an ICD implanted for secondary prevention. Of the 116 patients, 83 (72%) were men; the mean age was 54 +/- 10.7 years. Several clinical variables were tested in a multivariate Cox model for predicting long-term mortality. The average follow-up was 45 +/- 32 months. New York Heart Association class I-II developed in 83% of patients. The mean left ventricular ejection fraction was 42 +/- 16% at implantation. Of the 116 patients, 58 (50%) had appropriate shocks and 13 (11%) had inappropriate therapy. A total of 31 patients died (7.1% annual mortality rate). New York Heart Association class III (hazard ratio [HR] 3.09, 95% confidence interval 1.37 to 6.96, p = 0.0064) was a predictor of a worse prognosis. The left ventricular ejection fraction (HR 0.972, 95% confidence interval 0.94 to 0.99, p = 0.0442) and low cumulative right ventricular pacing (HR 0.23, 95% confidence interval 0.11 to 0.49, p = 0.0001) were predictors of better survival. The left ventricular diastolic diameter was an independent predictor of appropriate shock (I-ER 1.032, 95% confidence interval 1.004 to 1.060, p = 0.025). In conclusion, in a long-term follow-up, ICD efficacy for secondary sudden cardiac death prevention in patients with ChHD was marked by a favorable annual rate of all-cause mortality (7.1%); 50% of the cohort received appropriate shock therapy. New York Heart Association class III and left ventricular ejection fraction were independent predictors of worse prognosis, and low cumulative right ventricular pacing defined better survival.
- Upper extremity deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism after transvenous lead replacement or upgrade procedures(2020) ALBERTINI, Caio Marcos de Moraes; SILVA, Katia Regina da; LIMA, Marta Fernandes; LEAL FILHO, Joaquim Mauricio da Motta; MARTINELLI FILHO, Martino; COSTA, RobertoBackground Venous obstructions are frequent in patients with transvenous leads, although related clinical findings are rarely reported. After lead replacement or upgrade procedures, these lesions are even more frequent, but there is still no evidence to support this observation. Aim To investigate the incidence and possible risk factors for upper extremity deep venous thrombosis (UEDVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) after lead replacement or upgrade procedures. Methods Prospective cohort carried out between April 2013 and July 2016. Preoperative evaluation included venous ultrasound and pulmonary angiotomography. Diagnostic exams were repeated postoperatively to detect the study outcomes. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to identify prognostic factors. Results Among the 84 patients included, 44 (52.4%) were female and mean age was 59.3 +/- 15.2 years. Lead malfunctioning (75.0%) was the main surgical procedure indication. Lead removal was performed in 44 (52.4%) cases. The rate of postoperative combined events was 32.6%, with 24 (28.6%) cases of UEDVT and six (7.1%) cases of PE. Clinical manifestations of deep venous thrombosis occurred in 10 (11.9%) patients. Independent prognostic factors for UEDVT were severe collateral circulation in the preoperative venography (odds ratio [OR] 4.7; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.1-19.8; P = .037) and transvenous lead extraction (OR 27.4; 95% CI 5.8-128.8; P < .0001). Conclusion Reoperations involving previously implanted transvenous leads present high rates of thromboembolic complications. Transvenous lead extraction had a significant impact on the development of UEDVT. These results show the need of further studies to evaluate the role of preventive strategies for this subgroup of patients.

B.; MARTINELLI FILHO, M.; COSTA, R.- 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.
