    Abstract Background: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been established as an effective therapy for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Randomized clinical trials have shown its impact on mortality and HF hospitalizations, as well as improvement of symptoms and quality of life.
    Objectives: Finding clinical, electrocardiographic, and echocardiographic variables that may predict the response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).
    Methods: We performed a single-center, observational, analytic, and retrospective study that included 102 patients with heart failure (HF) diagnosis who underwent CRT according to guideline-directed therapy from January 2010 to April 2020 in a third-level center. CRT response was defined as an improvement of New York Heart Association functional class in at least 1 category associated with a recovery of ≥ 5% in the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).
    Results: Our study population was 102 patients of which 61 (59.8%) were men. The mean age at HF diagnosis was 54 ± 18.7 years. Ischemic heart disease was the etiology in 37 (36.3%) cases. Fifty-one (50%) patients were classified as responders. Responders had wider QRS, and lower LVEF and right ventricular fractional area change at baseline. After CRT, responders had a greater reduction of QRS duration, and improvement in LVEF, global longitudinal strain, and echocardiographic dyssynchrony parameters. Multivariate regression analysis showed that left bundle branch block (LBBB), left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), and baseline difference of pre-ejection periods were predictors of a positive response to CRT in this population.
    Conclusions: LBBB, TAPSE, LVEDV, and pre-ejection time difference are independent variables that can predict adequate response to CRT.

    Abstract Introduction: Practicing models for invasive procedure have proven useful in achieving better rates of success for physicians in training. Often, these models are not easy to get because of its expensive price. Radial artery cannulation is a common practice and its performance with ultrasonographic guidance has proven to be more efficient than traditional ways. We developed a low-cost practicing model that may aid physicians in training to master the ultrasound-guided radial artery cannulation technique and achieve better rates of success when performing this procedure. Methods: Using ordinary materials such as a piece of pork ham and rubber torniquets, we were able to build a 3-vessel artery model with pulsatile flow. Results: Ultrasonographic imaging revealed a vessel-like material embedded inside the piece of ham. This material resembles an artery which can be punctured with an in-plane or out-of-plane technique and cannulated afterwards, either with a Seldinger or a modified Seldinger technique. Once cannulated, pulsatile flow can be obtained through the catheter used. Conclusion: Our model building time was 30 minutes, and its price doesn’t exceed more than $7.50 USD. This model can be used by physicians in training to practice the cannulation of a radial artery using ultrasonographic guidance. Resumen: Introducción: Los modelos de práctica para procedimientos invasivos han probado ser útiles en mejorar las tasas de éxito de los médicos en entrenamiento que llevan a cabo tales procedimientos.Frecuentemente, estos modelos son de difícil acceso debido a su elevado precio. La canulación de la arteria radial es una práctica común y la técnica con guía ultrasonográfica ha demostrado ser más eficiente que la técnica convencional. Desarrollamos un modelo de bajo costo que puede ayudar a los médicos en entrenamiento a perfeccionar ésta técnica y conseguir mejores tasas de éxito al realizar este procedimiento. Métodos: Utilizando materiales ordinaries como una pieza de jamón de cerdo y torniquetes huecos de hule, ...

    Abstract Prosthetic valve thrombosis (PVT) is considered an exceptionally rare condition, often associated with pro-thrombotic factors or suboptimal anticoagulant therapy. Guidelines recommend emergent surgery for patients with left heart valve prosthetic thrombosis who present in cardiogenic shock, and systemic thrombolysis is reserved in scenarios where surgery is not immediately available. However, several factors may affect surgical prognosis and are overlooked by current recommendations. We describe the case of a 34-year-old female who presented in the emergency department with cardiogenic shock and acute pulmonary edema due to acute valve thrombosis.

    Abstract Background: The co-administration of loop diuretics with thiazide diuretics is a therapeutic strategy in patients with hypertension and volume overload. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of treatment with bumetanide plus chlorthalidone in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 4-5 KDIGO.
    Methods: A double-blind randomized study was conducted. Patients were randomized into two groups: bumetanide plus chlorthalidone group (intervention) and the bumetanide plus placebo group (control) to evaluate differences in TBW, ECW and ECW/TBW between baseline and 30 Days of follow-up. Volume overload was defined as 'bioelectrical impedance analysis as fluid volume above the 90th percentile of a presumed healthy reference population. The study's registration number was NCT03923933.
    Results: Thirty-two patients with a mean age of 57.2 ± 9.34 years and a median estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 16.7 ml/min/1.73 m
    Conclusion: In CKD stage 4-5 KDIGO without renal replacement therapy, bumetanide in combination with chlorthalidone is more effective in treating volume overload and hypertension than bumetanide with placebo.

    Abstract This report describes a rare case of a global myocardial infarction caused by severe vasospasm of the coronary arteries secondary to the administration of pyridostigmine in a patient with polyarteritis nodosa (PAN). Details about the clinical presentation, the typical electrocardiographic pattern of multivessel disease, the differential diagnoses suspected in the multi-imaging approach, and the treatment of cardiogenic shock are described. The definitive diagnosis of infarction and the histopathological findings compatible with polyarteritis nodosa were made by autopsy.

    Abstract Context: Nesidioblastosis is a rare cause of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia in adults. The diagnosis is further complicated in patients with kidney failure, since impaired renal function can cause hypoglycemia by itself and diagnostic criteria for this clinical scenario have not been developed yet.
    Case description: We present the case report of a 36-year-old patient with end stage chronic kidney disease who presented to the emergency department because of hypoglycemia. However, the patient's hypoglycemia did not respond well to medical treatment; the diagnosis of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia was made due to the presence of inappropriately high levels of insulin, proinsulin, and C-peptide during an episode of hypoglycemia. Imaging studies were performed without any conclusive findings; so selective intra-arterial pancreatic stimulation with hepatic venous sampling (SACTS) was done. Based on the results of this study the patient was referred for subtotal pancreatectomy. Classic criteria for the diagnosis of insulinoma with SACTS required a 2-fold increase in insulin levels but newer criteria suggest thresholds that are useful in the differential diagnosis of insulinoma and nesidioblastosis. In our patient, the former criteria were positive; however, the new criteria were not compatible with insulinoma but with nesidioblastosis, which was the final histopathological diagnosis.
    Conclusion: This seems to be the first case report of a patient with end stage chronic kidney disease and nesidioblastosis, as well as the first case of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia in the context of kidney failure diagnosed by SACTS. We consider this method to be very useful in patients with renal impairment because peripancreatic insulin levels do not depend on the renal function.

    Abstract Introduction: Sticky platelet syndrome (SPS) is a prothrombotic disease that is not well recognized and difficult to diagnose.
    Case report: We present a case of a 49-year-old diabetic woman on ambulatory peritoneal dialysis therapy who underwent a kidney transplant from living-related donor. The donor was her sister with whom she shared one haplotype and absence of donor specific antibodies. The posttransplant evolution was torpid, developing progressive deterioration, which made us suspect a failure in the graft. Doppler ultrasound reported renal vein thrombosis and hypoperfusion of the renal artery. Without clinical improvement, she required a reintervention that ended in graftectomy, in which the histopathological report showed negative C4d with medullary and cortical infarction. Hematological studies were negative for antibodies against phospholipids, with correct levels of proteins C and S and antithrombin. Platelet aggregometry studies were carried out, which were compatible with SPS.
    Conclusions: Recognition of SPS in pretransplant studies is difficult if there is no history of previous thrombotic events. However, we must consider this entity in cases of acute thrombosis and loss of the graft of uncertain origin.
