          Abstract

          Introducción Los registros de síndromes coronarios agudos realizados por la Sociedad Argentina de Cardiología aportan información actualizada y comparativa sobre su evolución, cuyo análisis permite conocer la tasa de mortalidad, diferentes patrones de tratamiento regionales y evaluar la relación entre los resultados y variables demográficas, características clínicas y terapéutica aplicada en la “vida real”. Objetivos Analizar las características clínicas, terapéuticas y evolutivas del infarto agudo de miocardio con supradesnivel del segmento ST (IAMST) del registro multicéntrico realizado por la Sociedad Argentina de Cardiología durante 2011. Material y métodos Se analizaron pacientes con diagnóstico de IAMST incluidos en el registro multicéntrico SCAR (Síndromes Coronarios Agudos en Argentina). Se compararon datos de centros que participaron en los registros de 2005 y de 2011. Resultados Se incluyeron 476 pacientes. Una cuarta parte fueron mujeres, la edad media fue de 61 ± 12,3 años, el 70% recibió tratamiento de reperfusión: 20% (n = 92) con trombolíticos y 50% (n = 238) con angioplastia primaria. La mortalidad hospitalaria de los IAMST fue del 8%. Fueron predictores independientes de muerte la edad mayor de 70 años (OR 2, IC 95% 1,2-3,3; p = 0,003), no haber recibido tratamiento de reperfusión (OR 1,72, IC 95% 1,1-2,0; p = 0,01) y el shock cardiogénico (OR 37, IC 95% 12-117; p < 0,0001). Comparando los mismos centros, en 2011 se redujo en un 30% el número de casos que no recibieron tratamiento de reperfusión, con un incremento del uso de la angioplastia primaria [OR 3,7 (IC 95% 1,6-4; p < 0,001)]. Se detectó también una reducción de la mortalidad hospitalaria [OR 0,40 (IC 95% 0,23-0,83; p = 0,01)]. Conclusiones El 70% de los pacientes con IAMST del SCAR recibió tratamiento de reperfusión, mientras que la mortalidad fue del 8%. Respecto de 2005 se observó, entre otros hallazgos, un incremento de la angioplastia primaria y una disminución de la mortalidad hospitalaria.

          Introduction Acute coronary syndrome registries made by the Argentine Society of Cardiology provide current and comparative information on their evolution, whose analysis allows to know mortality rate and different regional treatment patterns, and to evaluate the relationship between outcomes and demographic variables, clinical characteristics and therapy applied in “real life”. Objectives To analyze the clinical, therapeutic and outcome characteristics of ST segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) included in a multicenter registry conducted by the Argentine Society of Cardiology in 2011. Methods Patients diagnosed with STEMI included in the multicenter SCAR (Acute Coronary Syndromes in Argentina) registry were analyzed. Data from centers that participated in the 2005 and 2011 registries were compared. Results The study included 476 patients. Twenty-five percent of patients were women, mean age was 61 ± 12.3 years, and 70% received reperfusion therapy: 20% (n = 92) with thrombolytics and 50% (n = 238) with primary angioplasty. In-hospital mortality rate due to STEMI was 8%. Independent predictors of death were age over 70 years (OR 2, 95% CI 1.2-3.3, p = 0.003), not having received reperfusion therapy (OR 1.72, 95% CI 1.1-2.0, p = 0.01) and cardiogenic shock (OR 37, 95% CI 12-117, p < 0.0001). Comparison of the same centers showed that in 2011 the number of cases that did not receive reperfusion therapy was reduced by 30%, with increased use of primary angioplasty [OR 3.7 (95% CI 1.6-4, p < 0.001)]. A reduction of in-hospital mortality [OR 0.40 (95% CI 0.23-0.83, p = 0.01)] was also identified. Conclusions Seventy percent of patients with STEMI included in the SCAR registry received reperfusion therapy, while mortality rate was 8%. Compared with 2005, an increase of primary angioplasty and decreased in-hospital mortality was found, among other findings.

          Effect of door-to-balloon time on mortality in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.

          We sought to determine the effect of door-to-balloon time on mortality for patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Studies have found conflicting results regarding this relationship. We conducted a cohort study of 29,222 STEMI patients treated with PCI within 6 h of presentation at 395 hospitals that participated in the National Registry of Myocardial Infarction (NRMI)-3 and -4 from 1999 to 2002. We used hierarchical models to evaluate the effect of door-to-balloon time on in-hospital mortality adjusted for patient characteristics in the entire cohort and in different subgroups of patients based on symptom onset-to-door time and baseline risk status. Longer door-to-balloon time was associated with increased in-hospital mortality (mortality rate of 3.0%, 4.2%, 5.7%, and 7.4% for door-to-balloon times of 150 min, respectively; p for trend 90 min had increased mortality (odds ratio 1.42; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.24 to 1.62) compared with those who had door-to-balloon time 1 to 2 h, >2 h) and regardless of the presence or absence of high-risk factors. Time to primary PCI is strongly associated with mortality risk and is important regardless of time from symptom onset to presentation and regardless of baseline risk of mortality. Efforts to shorten door-to-balloon time should apply to all patients.

            Strategies for reducing the door-to-balloon time in acute myocardial infarction.

            Prompt reperfusion treatment is essential for patients who have myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation. Guidelines recommend that the interval between arrival at the hospital and intracoronary balloon inflation (door-to-balloon time) during primary percutaneous coronary intervention should be 90 minutes or less. However, few hospitals meet this objective. We sought to identify hospital strategies that were significantly associated with a faster door-to-balloon time. We surveyed 365 hospitals to determine whether each of 28 specific strategies was in use. We used hierarchical generalized linear models and data on patients from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to determine the association between hospital strategies and the door-to-balloon time. In multivariate analysis, six strategies were significantly associated with a faster door-to-balloon time. These strategies included having emergency medicine physicians activate the catheterization laboratory (mean reduction in door-to-balloon time, 8.2 minutes), having a single call to a central page operator activate the laboratory (13.8 minutes), having the emergency department activate the catheterization laboratory while the patient is en route to the hospital (15.4 minutes), expecting staff to arrive in the catheterization laboratory within 20 minutes after being paged (vs. >30 minutes) (19.3 minutes), having an attending cardiologist always on site (14.6 minutes), and having staff in the emergency department and the catheterization laboratory use real-time data feedback (8.6 minutes). Despite the effectiveness of these strategies, only a minority of hospitals surveyed were using them. Several specific hospital strategies are associated with a significant reduction in the door-to-balloon time in the management of myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation.
