bookPart Síndrome coronária aguda e trombofilias(2018) SCANAVINI FILHO, Marco Antonio; GANEM, Fernando; BARACIOLI, Luciano Moreira- O escore de risco de sangramento como preditor de mortalidade em pacientes com síndromes coronarianas agudas(2013) NICOLAU, José Carlos; MOREIRA, Humberto Graner; BARACIOLI, Luciano Moreira; SERRANO JR, Carlos Vicente; LIMA, Felipe Galego; FRANKEN, Marcelo; GIRALDEZ, Roberto Rocha; GANEM, Fernando; KALIL FILHO, Roberto; RAMIRES, José Antônio Franchini; MEHRAN, RoxanaBACKGROUND: It is well known that the occurrence of bleeding increases in-hospital mortality in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS), and there is a good correlation between bleeding risk scores and bleeding incidence. However, the role of bleeding risk score as mortality predictor is poorly studied. OBJECTIVE: The main purpose of this paper was to analyze the role of bleeding risk score as in-hospital mortality predictor in a cohort of patients with ACS treated in a single cardiology tertiary center. METHODS: Out of 1655 patients with ACS (547 with ST-elevation ACS and 1118 with non-ST-elevation ACS), we calculated the ACUITY/HORIZONS bleeding score prospectively in 249 patients and retrospectively in the remaining 1416. Mortality information and hemorrhagic complications were also obtained. RESULTS: Among the mean age of 64.3 ± 12.6 years, the mean bleeding score was 18 ± 7.7. The correlation between bleeding and mortality was highly significant (p < 0.001, OR = 5.296), as well as the correlation between bleeding score and in-hospital bleeding (p < 0.001, OR = 1.058), and between bleeding score and in-hospital mortality (adjusted OR = 1.121, p < 0.001, area under the ROC curve 0.753, p < 0.001). The adjusted OR and area under the ROC curve for the population with ST-elevation ACS were, respectively, 1.046 (p = 0.046) and 0.686 ± 0.040 (p < 0.001); for non-ST-elevation ACS the figures were, respectively, 1.150 (p < 0.001) and 0.769 ± 0.036 (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Bleeding risk score is a very useful and highly reliable predictor of in-hospital mortality in a wide range of patients with acute coronary syndromes, especially in those with unstable angina or non-ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction.
- Rare Manifestation of Acute Pulmonary Edema Associated with Acute Lupus Myocarditis(2012) SOEIRO, Alexandre de Matos; BERGAMIN, Fabricio Sanchez; ALMEIDA, Maria Carolina Feres de; SERRANO JR., Carlos Vicente; FALCAO, Breno Alencar de Araripe; GANEM, FernandoSystemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is the most common systemic autoimmune disease, occurring more frequently in women, usually aged between 16 and 55 years1,2. Although classically the kidneys are the organs most affected in SLE, cardiopulmonary circulation and the heart may also be affected significantly3. In this context, the occurrence of acute pulmonary edema associated with lupus myocarditis is rare and specific immunosuppressive therapy remains unclear.
- Características clínicas, angiográficas e evolução a longo prazo em pacientes com arterite de Takayasu e síndrome coronária aguda(2013) SOEIRO, Alexandre de Matos; ALMEIDA, Maria Carolina Feres de; TORRES, Tatiana Andreucci; FRANKEN, Marcelo; LIMA, Felipe Gallego; GANEM, Fernando; GIRALDEZ, Roberto R.; BARACIOLI, Luciano; TAVARES JR., Mucio Oliveira; SERRANO JR., Carlos V.; NICOLAU, Jose CarlosIntroduction: Monitoring of disease activity and the best therapeutic approach are a challenge in Takayasu arteritis (TA). When associated with acute coronary syndromes (ACS), the best interventional treatment has not been established. The objective of this study was to describe the baseline characteristics, clinical manifestations, treatment and long-term outcome of patients with TA and ACS. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed eight patients between 2004 and 2010. The following data were obtained: age, gender, clinical and electrocardiographic manifestations, Kit lip class, risk factors for ACS, markers of myocardial necrosis (CK-MB and troponin), creatinine clearance, left ventricular ejection fraction, inflammatory markers (C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate [ESR]), medication during hospital stay, angiographic findings, treatment (medical, percutaneous or surgical) and long-term outcome. Statistical data were expressed as percentages and absolute values. Results: All eight patients were women, median age 49 years. Typical chest pain was present in 37.5%. Elevated ESR was observed in 85.7%. Three patients underwent coronary artery bypass grafting, three underwent percutaneous coronary angioplasty (two with bare-metal stents and one with a drug-eluting stent) and two were treated medically. In-hospital mortality was 25%. There were no deaths during a mean follow-up of 30 months. Conclusions: In our study, patients who were discharged home had good outcomes in long-term follow-up with medical, percutaneous or surgical treatment. ESR appears to be associated with ACS in TA.

Vieira da; SILVA, Ana P. Mendes da; GIORGI, Dante M. Artigas; GANEM, FernandoIntroductionAccording to the published literature, blood pressure (BP) measurements performed in the outpatient clinical setting are often inaccurate. The white coat effect and improper technique are the main causes of this imprecision. Construction of a set of readings without them could improve the accuracy of BP measurement.ObjectiveTo evaluate the accuracy and agreement of successive office BP measurements using the awake blood pressure average (ABPa) as the gold standard.MethodsBP was measured in 852 patients using three techniques: in office (OBPa); seven successive measurements performed by a nurse using an automatic device; and 24h of ambulatory BP monitoring. BP averages (BPa) were obtained from the nurse's measurements: 1-2BPa (first and second), 3-7BPa (third to seventh), and 1-7BPa (first to seventh). OBPa and successive measurements were tested against ABPa by calculating the following: average difference in BP of 1-2BPa, 3-7BPa and OBPa, and the area under the curve.ResultsAmong the 834 patients eligible, 374 (43.9%) were considered to be hypertensive on the basis of the ABPa (135/85mmHg). 3-7BPa showed the lowest average difference (4/3mmHg). By contrast, OBPa showed the highest result (21/11mmHg). The mean difference with 1-2BPa was 8/4mmHg. The areas under the curve were better with 3-7BPa (0.82-0.85) and 1-2BPa (0.82-0.83) than OBPa (0.67-0.71) for both systolic and diastolic BP.ConclusionAll means from successive measurements showed a better precision than OBPa, even the two first readings. However, more research needs to be carried out before recommendation of the use of this technique in routine practice.

- Preoperative B-type natriuretic peptide, and not the inflammation status, predicts an adverse outcome for patients undergoing heart surgery(2011) GANEM, Fernando; SERRANO JR., Carlos V.; FERNANDES, Juliano L.; BLOTTA, Maria Heloisa S. L.; SOUZA, Juliana A.; NICOLAU, Jose C.; RAMIRES, Jose A. F.; HUEB, Whady A.Objectives: B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and inflammatory markers are implicated in the pathophysiology of both ischemic cardiomyopathy and complications after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The purpose of this study was to assess preoperative and postoperative levels of BNP, interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), P-selectin, intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM), C-reactive protein (CRP) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with CPB and investigate their variation and ability to correlate with immediate outcome. Methods: Plasma levels of these markers were measured preoperatively, 6 and 24 h after CBP in 62 patients. Main endpoints were requirements for intra-aortic balloon pump, intensive care unit (ICU) stay longer than five days, ventilator dependence >24 h, requirement for dobutamine, hospital stay >10 days, clinical complications (infection, myocardial infarction, renal failure, stroke and ventricular arrhythmias) and in-hospital mortality. Results: Preoperative BNP levels correlate with longer ICU stay (P=0.003), longer ventilator use (P=0.018) and duration of dobutamine use (P<0.001). The receiver-operating characteristic curve demonstrated BNP levels >190 pg/ml as predictor of ICU >5 days and BNP levels >20.5 pg/ml correlated with dobutamine use, with areas under the curve of 0.712 and 0.842, respectively. Preoperative levels of ICAM-1 were associated with in-hospital mortality (P=0.042). In the postoperative period, was found association between CRP, IL-6 and P-selectin with ventilation duration (P=0.013, P=0.006, P<0.001, respectively) and P-selectin with ICU stay (P=0.009). Conclusions: BNP correlates with clinical endpoints more than inflammatory markers and can be used as a predictor of early outcome after heart surgery.
