Percutaneous Mitral Commissurotomy in Patients with Calcific Mitral Stenosis
Objective: the study evaluated the clinical and echocardiographic data, before and after percutaneous mitral commissurotomy (PMC) in patients with calcific mitral stenosis.nbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbsp Materials and methods: this is a retrospective study of 215 patients divided into two groups: 148 patients with calcific mitral stenosis (Group 1), and 67 patients without mitral calcifications (Group 2). The study period is between January 2011 to July 2015.Results: the group 1 was significantly older than the group 2 (49,7plusmn12,2 (group 1) versus 42,7plusmn12,8(group 2) , plt0,001), and had significantly more men than women (female gender:75% in group 1 vs.88,1% in group 2, plt0,05). Before PMC: group 1 had significantly higher Wilkins (9,3plusmn0,8(group 1) vs. 8,5plusmn0,6 (group 2)nbspnbsp p lt0,001) and smaller mitral valve area (0,91plusmn0,20 (group1)nbsp vs.0,99plusmn0,20 ( group 2), plt0,05). After PMC: the final valve area was significantly smaller in patients with, than, without calcifications (2,10plusmn0,26 vs.2,20plusmn0,22nbsp plt0,05). However , the rate of good immediate results, defined as valve area ge1,5 cmsup2 with no mitral regurgitation gt2/4 ( 97,9%vs.100% , pgt 0,05), and the rate of post PMC mitral regurgitation (MRge3/4) (2% vs.0% , pgt0,05), were no different between the 2 groups.Conclusion: PMC can be used for the treatment of patients with calcific mitral stenosis safety, with good immediate results.nbsp nbs

Atteinte cardiaque au cours de la dystrophie myotonique de Steinert: Expérience marocaine, à propos de 18 cas
La maladie de Steinert ou dystrophie myotonique de type 1 (DM1) est une maladie génétique à transmission autosomique dominante caractériséepar une myotonie et une atteinte de plusieurs organes dont le coeur. L'atteinte cardiaque est la plus grave des atteintes systémiques puisqu'elleconditionne le pronostic vital. Ce travail a pour but de déterminer les anomalies cardiaques rencontrées au cours de la DM1 et de mettre enexergue l'intérêt d'un examen cardiaque rigoureux et régulier, indépendamment de la sévérité de l'atteinte neuromusculaire, ainsi que l'apport des examens cardiaques complémentaires et notamment l'exploration électrophysiologique. 18 patients atteints de DM1 ont bénéficiés d'une exploration cardiaque systématique. Il s'agit de 9 hommes et de 9 femmes, d'âge moyen de 41,8 +/- 16,2 ans. 66 p.100 des patients sont symptomatiques sur le plan cardiovasculaire. Les anomalies électrocardiographiques sont dominées par un trouble de la conduction intraventriculaire dans 16 p.100 des cas et un BAV de 1er degré dans 16 p.100 des cas. L'Holter ECG objective une hyperexcitabilité à l'étage atrial et/ou ventriculaire dans 50p.100 des cas. L'ETT est normale chez 95 p.100 des patients. L'exploration électrophysiologique, réalisée chez 4 patients symptomatiques, a objectivé un bloc tronculaire dans un cas ayant conduit à l'implantation d'un PM double chambre. Un seul patient est décédé suite à une détresse respiratoire. Enfin, on n'a pas noté de corrélation entre l'atteinte cardiaque et neuromusculaire. Une exploration cardiaque est indispensable chez tout patient atteint de DM1, en dépit de l'absence de symptômes, et un bilan annuel minimal s'impose pour guetter un éventuel trouble rythmique et/ou conductif, fatal en l'absence de traitement adéquat
Clinical features, socioeconomic status, management, short and long-term outcomes of patients with acute myocardial infarction: Phase I results of PEACE MENA registry.
BackgroundThe Program for the Evaluation and Management of Cardiac Events in the Middle East and North Africa (PEACE MENA) is a prospective registry program in Arabian countries that involves in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) or acute heart failure (AHF).MethodsThis prospective, multi-center, multi-country study is the first report of the baseline characteristics and outcomes of inpatients with AMI who were enrolled during the first 14-month recruitment phase. We report the clinical characteristics, socioeconomic, educational levels, and management, in-hospital, one month and one-year outcomes.ResultsBetween April 2019 and June 2020, 1377 patients with AMI were enrolled (79.1% males) from 16 Arabian countries. The mean age (± SD) was 58 ± 12 years. Almost half of the population had a net income ConclusionIn the MENA region, patients with AMI present at a young age and have a high burden of cardiac risk factors. Most of the patients in the registry have a low income and low educational status. There is heterogeneity among key performance indicators of AMI management among various Arabian countries
