Despite of the uninterrupted development of new medications for the treatment of cancer, the survival rate continues low especially in those patients in the advanced stage of the disease. Recent observations show that new therapeutics increase the susceptibility for cardiovascular diseases, which turns out to be the treatment of cancer even more complex. Cardiac dysfunction due to cardiot…
Inotropic agents are often administered in the postoperative period after cardiac surgery Sometimes the need is evident, in the presence of cardiogenic shock or for termination of extracorporeal circulation. In other cases, inotropic agents are administered more routinely, for some myocardial dysfunciton after cardiopulmonary bypass or a low cardiac output with minimal evidence of altered…
Patients submitted to high risk cardiac surgery have elevated morbidity and mortality. Hemodynamic therapy constitutes a challenge that starts intraoperatively and extends to the first hours of postoperative period. Goal directed therapy (GDT) represents a strategy evaluated in many scenarios whereby a reduction in hospital stay and morbi-mortality was observed, but few studies are availa…
The use of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists for the prevention of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity is controversial and lacks evidence. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of spironolactone in the primary prevention of cardiotoxicity in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy with anthracycline within 12 months. Methods: Randomized, double-blind, single-center, place…
Severe COVID-19 infection is characterized by intense inflammation and thrombogenesis, related to the elevation of markers such as C-reactive protein, IL-6, D-dimer and ferritin. For these cases, there is a potential benefit of anticoagulant therapies with Heparin and immunomodulatory therapies with Tocilizumab in terms of patient prognosis. Thus, in view of the wide applicability of this…
Acute renal injury (AKI) is defined as a decrease in renal function leading to accumulation of nitrogenous products and metabolic residues and it is one of the main complications and causes of morbidity and mortality associated with cardiac surgery, with an incidence ranging from 8.9% to 39% and mortality ranging from 3.8% to 54.4%. [1;2;3;4] Worsening of renal function has been associate…
The current managment of hemodynamic resuscitation of the patients that undergo cardiac surgery present obstacles that begin in the operating room. Due to host factors and the opertation itself, some patients can present hypotention, vascular dilation, vasoplegia and cardiac output. These changes are responsible for a significant impact in morbidity and can result in organic disfunction a…
In this project we intend to demonstrate that the use of arginine vasopressin would not only be more effective on the treatment of vasoplegic syndrome than conventional catecholamine vasopressors (especially norepinephrine), but also decrease the incidence of postoperative infections in patients undergoing cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass. We believe that this improvement in p…
