Estrategia invasiva frente a conservadora en pacientes frágiles con IAMSEST. Diseño del ensayo clínico MOSCA-FRAIL
Resumen Introduccion y objetivos Aunque las guias de practica clinica recomiendan una estrategia invasiva para el infarto agudo de miocardio sin elevacion del segmento ST (IAMSEST), en la practica clinica esta estrategia se infrautiliza en ancianos fragiles. Ademas estos enfermos habitualmente quedan excluidos de los ensayos clinicos, por lo que la evidencia es escasa. Nuestra hipotesis es que una estrategia invasiva para el anciano con fragilidad y IAMSEST mejorara el pronostico. Metodos Se trata de un estudio prospectivo, multicentrico y aleatorizado que compara una estrategia invasiva frente a una conservadora en ancianos fragiles con IAMSEST. Los criterios de inclusion son: IAMSEST, eda…
Clinical and echocardiographic outcomes of transcatheter mitral valve repair in atrial functional mitral regurgitation.
Background: Isolated atrial fibrillation can cause mitral regurgitation (MR) in patients with normal left ventricular systolic function and no organic disease of the mitral valve. Little information is available regarding outcomes of Mitraclip in patients with atrial functional mitral regurgitation (AFMR). We aimed to evaluate 12-month clinical and echocardiographic outcomes of transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVR) with MitraClip in patients with AFMR compared to those with ventricular functional or degenerative/mixed MR. Methods: Registry-based analysis of all consecutive patients who underwent TMVR and were included in the Spanish Registry of Mitraclip. Changes in MR and NYHA functiona…
Invasive Versus Conservative Strategy in Frail Patients With NSTEMI: The MOSCA-FRAIL Clinical Trial Study Design
Abstract Introduction and objectives Although clinical guidelines recommend invasive management in non–ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), this strategy is underused in frail elderly patients in the real world. Furthermore, these patients are underrepresented in clinical trials and therefore the evidence is scarce. Our hypothesis is that an invasive strategy will improve prognosis in elderly frail patients with NSTEMI . Methods This will be a prospective, multicenter, randomized trial, in which the conservative and invasive strategies will be compared in patients meeting all of the following inclusion criteria: NSTEMI diagnosis, age ≥ 70 years, and frailty defined by a cate…
