Risk Prediction Systems: One for all or all for Some

Jorge Paiter et al. Gláucia Maria Moraes de Oliveira

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the main cause of death in Brazil and worldwide, determining an increase in morbidity and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). The prevalence of CVD increased from 271 million (95% uncertainty interval [UI]: 257–285) in 1990 to 523 million (95% UI: 497–550) in 2019, and the number of deaths steadily grew from 12.1 million (95% UI: 11.4–12.6) in 1990 to 18.6 million (95% UI: 17.1–19.7) in 2019 in the 21 world regions analyzed by the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2019 study. The prevalence of CVD is likely to increase in Northern Africa and Western Asia, Central and Southern Asia, Eastern and Southeastern Asia, and Latin America and the Caribbean due to population growth and aging.

Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is part of this heterogeneous group of disorders, in which an acute coronary event is the first manifestation in approximately half of the cases., The total number of DALYs due to IHD has risen steadily since 1990, reaching 182 million (95% UI: 170-194) DALYs and 9.14 million (95% UI: 8.40-9.74) deaths in 2019. The GBD 2019 study has estimated 197 million (95% UI: 178-220) prevalent cases of IHD in 2019.

Myocardial revascularization in renal transplant patients

Daniel de Souza Delgado et al. Luís Roberto Gerola Nelson Américo Hossne Jr. João Nelson R. Branco Enio Buffolo

OBJECTIVE: To assess the results of surgical myocardial revascularization in renal transplant patients. METHODS: From 1991 to 2000, 11 renal transplant patients, whose ages ranged from 36 to 59 (47.5±8) years, 8 males and 3 females, underwent myocardial revascularization. The time interval between renal transplantation and myocardial revascularization ranged from 25 to 120 (mean of 63.8±32.7) months. RESULTS: The in-hospital mortality rate was 9%. One patient died on the 4th postoperative day from septicemia and respiratory failure. The mean graft/patient ratio was 2.7±0.8. Only 1 patient required slow hemodialysis during 24 hours in the postoperative period, and no patient had a definitive renal lesion or lost the transplanted kidney. The actuarial survival curves after 1, 2, and 3 years were, respectively, 90.9%, 56.8%, and 56.8%. CONCLUSION: Renal transplant patients may undergo myocardial revascularization with no lesion in or loss of the transplanted kidney.

Comparison between Adventitial and Intimal Inflammation of Ruptured and Nonruptured Atherosclerotic Plaques in Human Coronary Arteries

Maria L. Higuchi et al. Paulo S. Gutierrez Hiram G. Bezerra Suely A. Palomino … Vera D. Aiello Júlia M. L. Silvestre Peter Libby José A. F. Ramires

OBJECTIVE: To verify the possible role of adventitial inflammation in atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability and coronary artery remodelling. METHODS: We compared the mean numbers of lymphocytes in the adventitia and in the plaque of ruptured thrombosed and stable equi-stenotic coronary segments of 34 patients who died due to acute myocardial infarction. We also analysed adventitial microvessels, adventitial fibrosis and the external elastic membrane. RESULTS: In the adventitia, the numbers of lymphocytes and microvessels/mm² were 69.5±88.3 and 60.9± 32.1 in culprit lesions and 16.4 ± 21.1 and 44.3±16.1 in stable lesions (p<0.05); within the plaques, the mean number of lymphocytes was 24±40.8 in culprit lesions and 10.9±13.2 in stable ones (p=0.17). The mean percent area of adventitial fibrosis/cross-sectional area of the vessel was significantly lower in unstable plaques (p<0.001). The confocal images showed holes in the external elastic membrane. CONCLUSION: Unstable plaques exhibit chronic pan-arteritis, accompanied by enlargement, medial thinning, and less fibrosis than in stable lesions, which is compatible with vessel aneurysm. Adventitial inflammation may contribute significantly to atheroma instability.
