          Abstract

          La angina refractaria es una condición clínica frecuente y debilitante en la que los síntomas persisten a pesar de la terapia médica óptima, cuando la intervención coronaria percutánea o la revascularización miocárdica es inviable o sus riesgos injustificados. La supervivencia de los pacientes con este diagnóstico es similar a la descrita para enfermedad isquémica coronaria crónica. Las opciones terapéuticas deben enfocarse en el alivio de la angina y en la mejoría de la calidad de vida. Recientemente se han propuesto varias alternativas para el tratamiento de la angina refractaria. Se reporta la experiencia de un grupo multidisciplinario en Colombia referente al implante de un neuroestimulador medular para el manejo de la angina refractaria.

          Long-term survival in patients with refractory angina.

          An increasing number of patients with severe coronary artery disease (CAD) are not candidates for traditional revascularization and experience angina in spite of excellent medical therapy. Despite limited data regarding the natural history and predictors of adverse outcome, these patients have been considered at high risk for early mortality.

            Management of patients with refractory angina: Canadian Cardiovascular Society/Canadian Pain Society joint guidelines.

            Refractory angina (RFA) is a debilitating disease characterized by cardiac pain resistant to conventional treatments for coronary artery disease including nitrates, calcium-channel and β-adrenoceptor blockade, vasculoprotective agents, percutaneous coronary interventions, and coronary artery bypass grafting. The mortality rate of patients living with RFA is not known but is thought to be in the range of approximately 3%. These individuals suffer severely impaired health-related quality of life with recurrent and sustained pain, poor general health status, psychological distress, impaired role functioning, and activity restriction. Effective care for RFA sufferers in Canada is critically underdeveloped. These guidelines are predicated upon a 2009 Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) Position Statement which identified that underlying the problem of RFA management is the lack of a formalized, coordinated, interprofessional strategy between the cardiovascular and pain science/clinical communities. The guidelines are therefore a joint initiative of the CCS and the Canadian Pain Society (CPS) and make practice recommendations about treatment options for RFA that are based on the best available evidence. Concluding summary recommendations are also made, giving direction to future clinical practice and research on RFA management in Canada. Copyright © 2012 Canadian Cardiovascular Society.
