Evaluación de la aorta infrarenal y cribado del aneurisma de aorta abdominal mediante la ecocardiografía transtorácica en pacientes visitados en cardiología

Gentille Lorente, Delicia Inés 10 November 2011 (has links)
La creciente incidencia del aneurisma de aorta abdominal (AAA) y su mortalidad del 85-90%, en caso de rotura, justifican el realizar un diagnóstico y tratamiento reparador precoces. Este estudio incluyó a 687 pacientes consecutivos estudiados mediante ecocardiografía transtorácica (ETT), por cualquier causa, en el servicio de cardiología. Se detectó un AAA en 28 pacientes (4,2%), siendo sus factores de riesgo el ser fumador o ex fumador, la edad, el presentar un soplo femoral y las mayores dimensiones de la aorta suprarenal y del cayado. Conclusiones: el completar la ETT convencional con el estudio de la aorta infrarenal es factible y útil para realizar cribado del AAA en los pacientes visitados en cardiología. El cribado debería realizarse principalmente en pacientes con factores de riesgo para desarrollar un AAA (especialmente si son ³ 55 años) y en aquellos con una alta puntuación en los índices de riesgo del AAA calculados. / The increasing incidence of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and its mortality of 85- 90% in the event of rupture justify opting for early diagnosis and elective treatment to repair it. So, this study included 687 patients consecutively assessed by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) for any reason in a cardiology department. An AAA was detected in 28 patients (4,2%), and the risk factors associated were to current and former smoking, age, presence of femoral murmur and a largest suprarenal aorta and aortic arch dimensions . Conclusions: It is feasible and useful to complement conventional TTE with the study of the infrarenal aorta for AAA screening in patients visited at the department of cardiology. This study should be performed mainly in patients with risk factors to develop an AAA (specially if they are ³ 55 years old) and in patients with a high punctuation in the calculated risk scores of AAA
