- ItemLa disincronía cardíaca se correlaciona con el remodelado ventricular izquierdo postinfarto agudo al miocardio(2009) McNab, P.; Castro, P.; Gabrielli, L.; Verdejo, H.; Quintana, J.; Rodríguez, J.; Corbalán, R.Background: Cardiac dyssynchrony is common in advanced heart failure (HF), but the changes in cardiac synchrony after myocardial infarction (MI) have not been adequately described. Aim: To study the relationship between cardiac synchrony and left ventricular remodeling after acute myocardial infarction. Material and methods: Forty nine patients aged 59±10 years (77% men) with a first episode of a ST segment elevation MI, were studied. Scintigraphic left ventricular function and synchrony analyses were performed at baseline and after a six months follow-up. Determinations were compared with 33 healthy subjects. Results: At baseline, patients with MI had a decreased left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and significant dyssynchrony, when compared with controls. LVEF was 36.4%±10%, left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) 127±38 mL, interventricular delay (IEV) 29±35 miliseconds (ms), and intraventricular delay (IAV), 234±89 ms. After 6 months, LVEF significantly improved (38%±10%, p =0.042) without significant changes in LVEDV (129±32 mL, p =0.97), IEV (24±17, p =0.96) or IAV (231±97, p =0.34). At baseline there were significant correlations between IAV and LVEF, and between IAV and LVEDV (r =-0.48, p =0.001 and r =-0.41, p =0.004, respectively). These correlations remained significant after 6 months. There was a positive correlation between IAV and LVEDV changes at six months (r =0.403, p =0.04). Conclusions: The development of cardiac dyssynchrony correlates with adverse left ventricular remodeling after MI.

- ItemZygomycosis over-infection during voriconazole therapy for aspergillosis in a heart transplant patient, successfully treated with liposomal amphotericin and posaconazole(WILEY, 2012) Bourke, P.; Castro, P.; Rabagliati, R.; Beltran, C.; Verdejo, H.; Winter, J. L.; Bourge, R. C.Aspergillosis and zygomycosis are life-threatening fungal infections in immunocompromised patients. We report a heart transplant recipient with an early pulmonary invasive aspergillosis successfully treated with association of voriconazole and caspofungin. Zygomycosis sinusitis, which was diagnosed while he still was on voriconazole therapy, was successfully treated with the use of combination antifungal therapy including liposomal amphotericin plus posaconazole and conservative surgical debridement.
