Within the treatment to be used in patients with fetal atrioventricular block, the use of steroids, beta-adrenergic stimulators, plasma, etc., is mentioned; however, their use is controversial, since there are still many studies in which it is not defined whether they are used in isolation or together to improve the patient's condition. Steroids are the medications most used in this pathology and also the most studied, although their use has decreased the development of hydrops and preventing a type II atrioventricular block from progressing to a complete one, it can also cause greater loss of amniotic fluid, causing oligohydramnios that could cause fetal damage. Due to this, the assessment of the use of different medications will depend on the patient's clinical condition and multidisciplinary management should be addressed in the perinatal period to improve the prognosis of the patient and the mother.</p>","PeriodicalId":93885,"journal":{"name":"Archivos de cardiologia de Mexico","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12058100/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142634280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, primary prevention focuses on controlling modifiable risk factors. Therefore, understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the damage induced by these risk factors is essential to develop more effective treatments. This article provides a detailed review of the immunological processes underlying the initiation and progression of atheroma plaque, exploring their relationship with traditional risk factor such as smoking, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and hypertension, as well as a new potential risk factor: microbiota dysbiosis. Furthermore, the attributable risk of each factor is independently assessed, and the effectiveness of risk factor control measures is demonstrated as the best strategy to date for the regression of atherosclerosis and the prevention of its complications.</p>","PeriodicalId":93885,"journal":{"name":"Archivos de cardiologia de Mexico","volume":" ","pages":"81-95"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142514532","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}
