    The mean percentage of cryptogenic strokes among ischemic strokes is 31%, of which one-third may be associated with patent foramen ovale. The foramen ovale is required for blood flow through the fetal atrial septum.聽 It is formed as of the fourth week of gestation, and this leads to right-left interatrial shunt that allows the passage of oxygenated blood to systemic circulation. In 75% of cases, its closure is complete by 2 years of age, but it may persist in 25% of patients. We present the case of a patient with paradoxical embolism in the lower extremities and ischemic stroke in the clinical context of a patent foramen ovale

    Introducci贸n y objetivos: El Infarto Agudo de Miocardio (IAM) es una patolog铆a con alta prevalencia y morbimortalidad en Colombia y en el mundo. Es por esto, que desde el 2011 en la Fundaci贸n Santa Fe de Bogot谩 se comenz贸 a realizar el Registro Colombiano de Enfermedades Cardiovasculares para caracterizar la poblaci贸n con patolog铆as cardiovasculares. Actualmente se tienen 736 registrados seg煤n el tipo de IAM que presentan de acuerdo a la tercera clasificaci贸n de infarto. Su aplicaci贸n se ha asociado con incremento del n煤mero de diagn贸sticos realizados, predicci贸n de mortalidad a 10 a帽os y optimizaci贸n del manejo. Por lo anterior, se quiso conocer la prevalencia de cada tipo de infarto en nuestra poblaci贸n y su asociaci贸n con diferentes variables. M茅todos: Se realiz贸 un estudio descriptivo observacional de corte transversal en el cual se revisaron los datos de los pacientes pertenecientes a RECODEC, evaluando el tipo de IAM que presentaba. Resultados: Se encontr贸 una alta prevalencia para el infarto tipo 1, intermedia para el tipo 2 y baja para los otros tipos de infarto; adem谩s una asociaci贸n positiva entre ser hombre y presentar infarto tipo 1 (n=427, 85.7% con un OR 1.91 IC95% 1.29-2.82) y una asociaci贸n entre infarto tipo 2 y ser mujer (n=51, 21.4% con un OR 0.51 IC95% 0.33-0.76). Conclusiones: Es importante realizar la clasificaci贸n del tipo de infarto para as铆 poder definir el tipo de poblaci贸n m谩s expuesta a cada uno, de tal manera que sea posible brindar un tratamiento cada vez m谩s espec铆fico para cada patolog铆a.Introduction and objectives: Acute myocardial infarction is a pathology associated with a high prevalence and morbidity in Colombia and worldwide. Since 2011, at the Fundaci贸n Santa Fe de Bogot谩, a registry known as RECODEC began to take place to characterize the population with cardiovascular diseases. Nowadays 736 patients have been registered according to the type of myocardial infarction taking into account the third universal definition of infarction. The application of this definition has been related with an increase in the number of cases diagnosed, with prediction of 10 year mortality and with improvement of care. We determined the prevalence of each type of infarction and its association with different kind of variables. Methods: We conducted a descriptive, observational, cross sectional study in with data of patients from RECODEC registry was taken, evaluation the type of infarction each patient presented. Results: A high prevalence for type 1 infarction was found, intermediate for type 2 and low for the other types of myocardial infarction. Additionally we found a positive association between being a man and having type 1 infarction (n=427, 85.7% and OR: 1.91, IC 95%: 1.29-2.82, p< 0.001) and an association between being a woman and type 2 infarction (n=51, 21.4% and OR:0.51, IC 95%: 0.33-0.76, p< 0.001). Conclusions: It is important to classify the type of infarction the patients present with, so that the type of population that suffers from each type could be characterized, so that it would be possible to offer a more specific treatment for each disease

    Resumen: Introducci贸n y objetivos: El infarto agudo de miocardio (IAM) es una patolog铆a muy prevalente con una morbimortalidad significativa en Colombia y en el mundo. Es por esto que desde el 2011 en la Fundaci贸n Santa Fe de Bogot谩 se inici贸 la recolecci贸n de datos demogr谩ficos y cl铆nicos de pacientes con patolog铆as cardiovasculares en una base de datos denominada Registro Colombiano de Enfermedades Cardiovasculares. Actualmente se tienen 736 registrados seg煤n el tipo de IAM que presentan de acuerdo con la tercera clasificaci贸n de infarto. Por lo anterior, se quiso conocer la frecuencia de cada tipo de infarto en nuestra poblaci贸n y su asociaci贸n con diferentes variables. M茅todos: Se realiz贸 un estudio descriptivo observacional de corte transversal en el cual se revisaron los datos de los pacientes pertenecientes a RECODEC y se evalu贸 el tipo de IAM que presentaban. Resultados: Se encontr贸 alta frecuencia para el infarto tipo 1, intermedia para el tipo 2 y baja para los otros tipos de infarto, adem谩s una asociaci贸n positiva entre ser hombre y presentar infarto tipo 1 (n=427, 85,7% con un OR 1,91 IC95% 1,29-2,82) y una asociaci贸n entre infarto tipo 2 y ser mujer (n=51, 21,4% con un OR 0,51 IC95% 0,33-0,76). Conclusiones: Una adecuada clasificaci贸n del tipo de infarto permite definir una mejor ruta terap茅utica para el paciente y predecir posibles complicaciones. Con este estudio se logr贸 realizar la caracterizaci贸n de la poblaci贸n en cada grupo establecido por la tercera definici贸n. Abstract: Introduction and objectives: Acute myocardial infarction is a disease associated with a high prevalence and morbidity in Colombia and worldwide. Since 2011, at the Fundaci贸n Santa Fe de Bogot谩, a registry known as RECODEC began to be used to collect data in order to characterise the population with cardiovascular diseases. A total of 736 patients have currently been registered according to the type of myocardial infarction, taking into account its third universal definition. The application of this definition has been related with an increase in the number of cases diagnosed, with prediction of 10 year mortality, and with improvement of care. The prevalence is presented of each type of infarction and its association with different kind of variables. Methods: A descriptive, observational, cross sectional study was conducted using the patient data from RECODEC registry, in order to evaluate the type of infarction each patient presented. Results: A high prevalence was found for type 1 infarction, with intermediate for type 2, and low for the other types of myocardial infarction. A positive association was also found between being male and having a type 1 infarction (n=427, 85.7% and OR: 1.91, 95% CI: 1.29-2.82, P<.001) and an association between being female and type 2 infarction (n=51, 21.4% and OR: 0.51, 95% CI: 0.33-0.76, P<.001). Conclusions: It is important to classify the type of infarction presented by the patients, so that the type of population that suffers from each type could be characterised, so that it may be possible to offer a more specific treatment for each disease.
