- Association of Longitudinal Values of Glycated Hemoglobin With Cardiovascular Events in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease(2020) REZENDE, Paulo Cury; HLATKY, Mark Andrew; HUEB, Whady; GARCIA, Rosa Maria Rahmi; SELISTRE, Luciano da Silva; LIMA, Eduardo Gomes; GARZILLO, Cibele Larrosa; SCUDELER, Thiago Luis; BOROS, Gustavo Andre Boeing; RIBAS, Fernando Faglioni; SERRANO, Carlos Vicente; RAMIRES, Jose Antonio Franchini; KALIL FILHO, RobertoQuestion Are longitudinal glycated hemoglobin values associated with cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes and stable multivessel coronary artery disease? Findings In this cohort study of 725 patients with type 2 diabetes and multivessel coronary artery disease, a 1-point increase in glycated hemoglobin values during follow-up was independently associated with higher risk of the combined outcome of death, myocardial infarction, or ischemic stroke, after adjustment for baseline clinical factors. Meaning Longitudinal increase of glycated hemoglobin was associated with higher rates of cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes and multivessel coronary artery disease, and the mechanisms underlying this association require further investigation. This cohort study examines whether longitudinal variation of glycated hemoglobin (HbA(1c)) is associated with cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes and multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD). Importance Glycated hemoglobin (HbA(1c)) values are used to guide glycemic control, but in patients with type 2 diabetes and multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD), the association of the longitudinal values of HbA(1c) with cardiovascular outcomes is unclear. Objective To assess whether longitudinal variation of HbA(1c) is associated with cardiovascular events in long-term follow-up among patients with diabetes and multivessel CAD. Design, Setting, and Participants This cohort study included 888 patients with type 2 diabetes and multivessel CAD in the Medicine, Angioplasty, or Surgery Study (MASS) Registry of the Heart Institute of the University of Sao Paulo from January 2003 to December 2007. Data were analyzed from January 15, 2018, to October 15, 2019. Exposure Longitudinal HbA(1c) values. Main Outcomes and Measures The combined outcome of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, and ischemic stroke. Results Of 888 patients with type 2 diabetes and multivessel CAD, 725 (81.6%; median [range] age, 62.4 [55.7-68.0] years; 467 [64.4%] men) had complete clinical and HbA(1c) information during a median (interquartile range) follow-up period of 10.0 (8.0-12.3) years, with a mean (SD) of 9.5 (3.8) HbA(1c) values for each patient. The composite end point of death, myocardial infarction, or ischemic stroke occurred in 262 patients (36.1%). A 1-point increase in the longitudinal value of HbA(1c) was significantly associated with a 14% higher risk of the combined end point of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, and ischemic stroke (hazard ratio, 1.14; 95% CI, 1.04-1.24; P = .002) in the unadjusted analysis. After adjusting for baseline factors (ie, age, sex, 2-vessel or 3-vessel CAD, initial CAD treatments, ejection fraction, and creatinine and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels), a 1-point increase in the longitudinal value of HbA(1c) was associated with a 22% higher risk of the combined end point (hazard ratio, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.12-1.35; P < .001). Conclusions and Relevance Longitudinal increase of HbA(1c) was independently associated with higher rates of cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes and multivessel CAD.
- BRASH Syndrome: A Case Report(2022) BAILUNI NETO, Jose Joao; SIQUEIRA, Bernardo de Lima; MACHADO, Fernando Chiodini; BOROS, Gustavo Andre Boeing; AKAMINE, Marco Alexander Valverde; PAULA, Leonardo Jorge Cordeiro de; ASSIS, Arthur Cicupira Rodrigues de; SOARES, Paulo Rogerio; SCUDELER, Thiago LuisObjective: Rare disease Background: BRASH syndrome is a newly recognized clinical entity characterized by bradycardia, renal failure, atrioventricular blockade, shock, and hyperkalemia. Patients with BRASH syndrome often have severe bradycardia that is refractory to antidotes and chronotropic medications. In these situations, transvenous pacemaker and renal replacement therapy may be necessary. Therefore, rapid diagnosis and correct management of this entity are crucial to reduce mortality. We report a case and the management of BRASH syndrome in the Emergency Department. Case Report: A 76-year-old man with chronic kidney disease stage 3, essential hypertension and psoriasis, and receiving atenolol presented to the Emergency Department with lethargy and weakness that started 3 days ago, with rapid deterioration into shock. His initial laboratory tests revealed hyperkalemia, metabolic acidosis, and acute kidney injury. His initial electrocardiogram was remarkable for sinus bradycardia with junctional escape rhythm with ventricular rate of 26 bpm. A chest X-ray was normal. Transthoracic echocardiogram showed normal systolic and diastolic function. Atenolol was immediately held. He was treated with potassium-lowering agents and vasoactive drugs. Due to the persistence of bradycardia, even after reversal of hyperkalemia, a temporary transvenous pacemaker was placed. Renal replacement therapy was not required. Renal function improved and heart rate stabilized at 80 bpm. The patient was discharged and advised to avoid atrioventricular-blocking agents, with Cardiology follow-up. Conclusions: BRASH syndrome is a serious complication due to a combination of hyperkalemia, hypotension, and bradycardia in the setting of kidney dysfunction and medications that block the atrioventricular node. Hemodynamic support and temporary pacemaker use may be needed to manage this entity.
- First case of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in cardiorespiratory arrest in an emergency room in Brasil: a possible reality?(2021) SOEIRO, Alexandre; LEAL, Tatiana; PAULA, Leonardo de; LAGE, Rony; GOLDSTEIN, Priscila; SCUDELER, Thiago; BOROS, Gustavo; PEDREIRA, Fabio; PEREIRA, Thiago; POLASTRI, Thatiane; FURTADO, Armando; SANTANA, Pedro; TENORIO, Davi; DANTAS, Cristiano; GALAS, Filomena; STEFFEN, Samuel; CARVALHO, Carlos; KALIL FILHO, Roberto; SOARES, PauloThe extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a procedure that has been used for a long time in reference centers worldwide. Its fundamental precept is to serve as a bridge to a definitive treatment in patients with severe, but potentially reversible, clinical conditions. Despite this, its use in cardiopulmonary arrest (ECPR) is still a matter of debate, especially when indicated in the emergency department. There is not yet a sufficient level of evidence to support its routine use. In Brasil, the procedure stopped being considered an experimental technique by the Federal Council of Medicine only in 2017. The objective of the present case is to share the pioneering spirit of a Brazilian reference center with ECPR in the emergency room and to discuss the future challenges of the ECMO technique.
