    Abstract Background: Carotid interventions are increasingly performed in select patients following acute stroke. We aimed to determine the effects of presenting stroke severity (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale [NIHSS]) and use of systemic thrombolysis (tissue plasminogen activator [tPA]) on discharge neurological outcomes (modified Rankin scale [mRS]) after urgent carotid endarterectomy (uCEA) and urgent carotid artery stenting (uCAS).
    Methods: Patients undergoing uCEA/uCAS at a tertiary Comprehensive Stroke Center (January 2015 to May 2022) were divided into two cohorts: (1) no thrombolysis (uCEA/uCAS only) and (2) use of thrombolysis before the carotid intervention (tPA + uCEA/uCAS). Outcomes were discharge mRS and 30-day complications. Regression models were used to determine an association between tPA use and presenting stroke severity (NIHSS) and discharge neurological outcomes (mRS).
    Results: Two hundred thirty-eight patients underwent uCEA/uCAS (uCEA/uCAS only, n = 186; tPA + uCEA/uCAS, n = 52) over 7 years. In the thrombolysis cohort compared with the uCEA/uCAS only cohort, the mean presenting stroke severity was higher (NIHSS = 7.6 vs 3.8; P = .001), and more patients presented with moderate to severe strokes (57.7% vs 30.2% with NIHSS >4). The 30-day stroke, death, and myocardial infarction rates in the uCEA/uCAS only vs tPA + uCEA/uCAS were 8.1% vs 11.5% (P = .416), 0% vs 9.6% (P < .001), and 0.5% vs 1.9% (P = .39), respectively. The 30-day stroke/hemorrhagic conversion and myocardial infarction rates did not differ with tPA use; however, the difference in deaths was significantly higher in the tPA + uCEA/uCAS cohort (P < .001). There was no difference in neurological functional outcome with or without thrombolysis use (mean mRS, 2.1 vs 1.7; P = .061). For both minor strokes (NIHSS ≤4 vs NIHSS >4: relative risk, 1.58 vs 1.58, tPA vs no tPA, respectively, P = .997) and moderate strokes (NIHSS ≤10 vs NIHSS >10: relative risk, 1.94 vs 2.08, tPA vs no tPA, respectively; P = .891), the likelihood of discharge functional independence (mRS score of ≤2) was not influenced by tPA.
    Conclusions: Patients with a higher presenting stroke severity (NIHSS) had worse neurological functional outcomes (mRS). Patients presenting with minor and moderate strokes were more likely to have discharge neurological functional independence (mRS of ≤2), regardless of whether they received tPA or not. Overall, presenting NIHSS is predictive of discharge neurological functional autonomy and is not influenced by the use of thrombolysis.

    Title translation Copy number variation and parental consanguinity elevated in newborns of high altitude with major congenital anomalies in Perú.
    Abstract Introduction: Congenital abnormalities could be caused by copy number variation or homozygous variants inherited of parental consanguineous. Purpose.
    Objetive: To show copy number variants and regions of homozygosity in neonates with malformative syndrome or one congenital anomaly major associated to facial dysmorphia or hypotonia.
    Methodology: Performed chromosomal microarray analysis (CGH/SNP) to 60 neonates with congenital anomalies born in Hospital Antonio Lorena and Hospital Regional Cusco.
    Results: 70% of the newborns had an abnormal test (n=42); 48,3% (n=29) patients had with regions of homozygosity above to 0,5% (endogamy coefficient up to 1/64). Pathogenic or likely pathogenic copy number variations with or without region of homozygosity were present in 14,2% (n=6) newborns with congenital abnormalities. We founded five patients with uncertain pathogenic copy number variations that have not been described previously and might correlate with phenotype.
    Conclusion: We founded a similar frequency of CNV in newborns with congenital abnormalities compared to previous reports. Nonetheless, parental consanguinity was increased compared to other countries of South America. This is the first report in Peru that showed to CMA as a useful diagnostic method in patients with congenital abnormalities and is pioneer in relation to other countries in Latinoamerica.

    Abstract Purpose: The usefulness and mechanisms of antiarrhythmic drug (AAD) pre-treatment as a facilitator of the acute success of electrical cardioversion (ECV) in atrial fibrillation (AF) remain controversial. We sought to analyze the role of AAD treatment with this purpose, differentiating its possible utility either facilitating the restoration of sinus rhythm (SR) or reducing immediate AF recurrences (IAFR).
    Methods: We analyzed 2962 consecutive patients with persistent AF undergoing ECV prospectively included in 3 national registries. The acute success of ECV was indicated by the reversion to SR without presenting an IAFR (< 2 h).
    Results: A total of 1410 patients (48%) received AAD treatment prior to ECV (80% amiodarone, 15% class Ic AAD, 2% other AAD). The rate of restoration of SR was similar between the patients treated with amiodarone (92%), class Ic AAD (91%) and who did not receive AAD pre-treatment (91%) (p = 0.92). However, those treated with amiodarone had fewer IAFR than those in the other two groups (amiodarone 3% vs class Ic 7% vs without treatment 6%; p = 0.002), so the ECV success rate was higher in the amiodarone group than in the other groups (amiodarone 89% vs Ic 84% vs without treatment 86%; p = 0.04). After adjusting for multiple variables, amiodarone remained as an independent predictor of a lower occurrence of IAFR (OR = 0.57; p = 0.01) and of a successful ECV (OR 1.37; p = 0.01).
    Conclusions: For patients with persistent AF undergoing ECV, AAD has a neutral effect on the restoration of SR but amiodarone increases its effectiveness due to a lower incidence of IAFR.
