Luego de la primera fase de la encuesta ARGEN-IAMST,se invito a los centros a continuar con el registro de IAM. Se incluyeron pacientes con IAM con elevacion del segmento ST en elelectrocardiograma de hasta 36 horas de evolucion.Resultados: La poblacion analizada abarco 2464 pacientes asistidos en 78 centros.

However, it is often a poorlycontrolled disease, mainly because health care systems are oriented to the attention of acute diseases. The Argentine Ministry ofHealth proposed a new model for the care of hypertensive patients called MAPEC, based on the Chronic Care Model.Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of MAPEC implementation to improve blood pressure (BP) control,changes in lifestyle, disease knowledge and treatment adherence in hypertensive patients treated in three primary health care centersof the City of Salta, Argentina.Methods: Blood pressure was measured with a digital blood pressure monitor and the Batalla and Morisky-Green-Levine tests wereused to evaluate disease knowledge and adherence to treatment, respectively.Results: The study included 232 patients. After model implementation, significant differences (p<0.0001) were found in bloodpressure control, disease understanding, treatment adherence and changes in hygienic-dietary measures. There was a decrease inmean BP with a reduction of 12.97 (95% CI: 9.52-16.42) mm Hg and 6.93 (95% CI: 4.70-9.16) mm Hg in systolic and diastolic BP,respectively.Conclusions: There was evident improvement in the analyzed health parameters after MAPEC implementation. This model canbe easily adapted to primary health care centers at a low cost. In addition, it agrees with the 25×25 WHO targets to reduce 25%cardiovascular premature deaths by 2025.","PeriodicalId":447734,"journal":{"name":"Argentine Journal of Cardiology","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121391557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

QT interval measuredfrom a standard electrocardiogram (ECG) requires additional personnel and risk of infection. Novel technologies to obtain anECG connected to smartphones provide an alternative for the evaluation of corrected QT interval (QTc).Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of using a single-lead ECG device to measure the QT interval in patientswith suspected or confirmed COVID-19 before receiving treatment with drugs that can prolong the QT interval.Methods: The ECG was obtained with a KardiaMobile (KM) device and transmitted to a smartphone. The ECG recordings weresaved as pdf files and electronically submitted to the electrophysiology section which centralized the reception and assessed themeasured QT and QTc intervals.Results: A total of 31 patients (mean age 61 years, range 20-95 years) with suspected COVID-19 enrolled for treatment with hydroxychloroquine,azithromycin, ritonavir or lopinavir were analyzed. The recordings could be read in all the cases and had to be repeatedin two cases. The mean value of the QTc interval was 423 ms (range 380-457 ms) in men and 439 ms (range 391-540 ms) in women.The response time since the ECG recording was submitted for analysis was 11 min (range 1-155).Conclusions: The QTc interval could be measured from ECG recordings obtained with KM devices connected to a smartphone andtransmitted to a centralized reading center in all patients.","PeriodicalId":447734,"journal":{"name":"Argentine Journal of Cardiology","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122608543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
