Una complicación de la Diabetes Mellitus es la neuropatía autonómica diabética (NAD), la cual tradicionalmente se diagnostica con criterios clínicos. El análisis de la variabilidad de la frecuencia cardíaca (VFC), consiste en el estudio de las variaciones de tiempo entre latido y latido consecutivos del corazón, reflejo de la influencia y que tiene importancia pronóstica. Objetivo. Determinar la utilidad del análisis de la VFC como método auxiliar para el diagnóstico y clasificación de los pacientes con NAD. Material y métodos. Se eligieron individuos con diagnóstico clínico de diabetes mellitus tipo 2 con NAD y como grupo control, diabéticos sin NAD; también se incluyó un grupo control de individuos sanos. Para el registro, se empleó un equipo PowerLab utilizando una derivación electrocardiográfica durante 5 minutos. Se estimaron variables en dominio de tiempo y de frecuencia y se compararon entre los grupos. Resultados. Se estudiaron 6 pacientes diabéticos con NAD, 3 sin NAD y 6 sujetos sanos. La diferencia más dramática se observó en el grupo de pacientes diabéticos con NAD. Al compararse valores promedio entre ambos grupos de diabéticos se observaron diferencias significativas tanto en variables de dominio de tiempo como de frecuencia: SDNN 26.799 vs 12.601, p=0.047, SDdNN 21.880 vs 9.953, p=0.031, RMSSD 21.841 vs 9.940, p=0.03), LF 125.937 vs 35.077, p=0.1 y HF 67.717 vs 14.472, p=0.02). No se encontró diferencias entre diabéticos sin NAD y controles sanos. Conclusión. El análisis de la VFC es útil en la valoración cuantitativa de la NAD, lo cual tiene importancia pronóstica.</p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p>Introduction. A recognized diabetes mellitus complication is autonomic neuropathy (DAN), that is usually diagnosed by clinical criteria. Heart rate variability analysis (HRV) consist in the study of time variations along consecutive heart beats, reflecting autonomic influence, with prognostic importance. Objetive. To determine usefullness of HRV analysis as ancilliary method for diagnosis and follow-up of patients with DAN. Materials y methods. We selected type 2 diabetic patients with clinical diagnosis of DAN and without DAN, as control group. Also we included healthy individuals. For data adquisition we used a PowerLab equipment with a single electrocardiographic lead, during 5 minutes. We calculate time domain and frequency domain variables and compared it between groups. Results. We studied 6 diabetic patients witn DAN, 3 without DAN and 6 normal subjects. The most dramatic difference ocurred in diabetics with DAN. Comparing mean values between both groups of diabetics we observed statistical differences in time domain and in frequency domain variables: SDNN 26.799 vs 12.601, p=0.047, SDdNN 21.880 vs 9.953, p=0.031, RMSSD 21.841 vs 9.940, p=0.03), LF 125.937 vs 35.077, p=0.1 and HF 67.717 vs 14.472, p=0.02). We did not found differences between diabetes without DAN and normal controls. Conclusion. HRV analysis is usefull in evaluating cuantitatively DAN, with prognosis information.</p></abstract>

Dos pacientes tenían además una estenosis pulmonar valvular y tres pacientes defectos septales (dos comunicaciones interventriculares y un canal AV). Se observaron tres casos con migración del coil a la pulmonar, de los cuales se logró extraer dos. El tamaño del coil más usado es el de 5 mm y cinco vueltas y el siguiente es el de 8 mm y cinco vueltas. Cuatro pacientes ameritaron dos coils para cerrar el conducto arterioso. En siete pacientes se encontró hipertensión arterial pulmonar de leve a moderada de los cuales cinco eran síndrome de Down. El diámetro del ductus más frecuentemente observado fue el de 2 mm. con una variación de 1,7 a 4 mm. La edad al momento del cierre varió de 6 meses a 10 años con una media de 42,9 meses +-26,3 meses; el peso varió de 7 a 30 kilos con una media de 14,9 kilos+-5,5 kilos.</p></abstract>

Two patients had a pulmonary valve stenosis and three patients show septum defects( ventricular septal defect in two and one with an AV canal). We have three patients with migration of the coil to the pulmonary artery without consequences. The size of the coil more frequently used was 5 mm and 5 loops. Four patient need two coils for closure of the PDA. Seven patients show pulmonary hypertension from mild to moderate, five of them were Down syndrome. The diameter of the ductus more frequently observed was 2 mm.

Las drogas trombolíticas han contribuido positivamente al respecto. Sin embargo, nace la necesidad de buscar formas alternas de tratamiento que proporcionen un más rápido y efectivo restablecimiento de la circulación coronaria. Nos referimos a la Angioplastía Primaria como tratamiento inicial del infarto agudo. Presentamos los primeros 16 casos con infarto agudo al miocardio en curso, tratados con Angioplastía Primaria, 15 de 16 pacientes evolucionaron en forma satisfactoria, sin complicaciones intra-hospitalarias. Hubo una defunción más directamente relacionada a las complicaciones del infarto que al procedimiento de angioplastía per-se. De esta manera reafirmamos la utilidad de esta nueva forma de tratamiento, planteando una alternativa terapéutica adicional en beneficio de los pacientes que están sufriendo un infarto agudo al miocardio.</p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p>In the last several years there have been increased efforts to reduce, and in the best of cases to avoid , damage to the cardiac muscle during acute myocardial infarction. Thrombolytic drugs have contributed favorably in that respect. However, there has been the need to find alternative methods of treatment to provide faster and more efective reestablishment of coronary circulation. In this paper we refer to primary coronary angioplasty as initial treatment for acute myocardial infarction. We present our first 16 patients with an evolving acute myocardial infarction treated with primary angioplasty, 15 of the 16 patients had a satisfactory course, without inhospital complications. There was one death more directly related to complications of the infarction rather than to the angioplasty procedure itself. In this way we reinforce the utility of this new method of treatment, making it an alternative therapeutic option in benefit of patients with an acute myocardial infarction.</p></abstract>
