Sa\u00fade de Southcoast Centro card\u00edaco e vascular<\/a> do Charlton Memorial Hospital foi o primeiro no pa\u00eds a efetuar um procedimento de cardioneuroabla\u00e7\u00e3o que mudou a sua vida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Nitesh Sood<\/a>O Dr. Christopher Abadi, Diretor M\u00e9dico dos Servi\u00e7os de Ecocardiografia da Southcoast Health, realizou o procedimento na doente Jennifer Link, de 32 anos, de Middletown, R.I. Link foi diagnosticada com um bloqueio card\u00edaco de terceiro grau - ou completo - em maio deste ano, depois de ter sofrido uma vida inteira de pausas card\u00edacas ... por vezes parando o seu cora\u00e7\u00e3o durante oito a 10 segundos, tal como detectado pelo Dr. Christopher Abadi, Diretor M\u00e9dico dos Servi\u00e7os de Ecocardiografia da Southcoast, atrav\u00e9s do monitor Holter no in\u00edcio do percurso da doente Jennifer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embora pouco comum na idade de Jennifer, o tratamento t\u00edpico para este diagn\u00f3stico inclui a implanta\u00e7\u00e3o de um pacemaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Jennifer \u00e9 uma pessoa muito jovem e saud\u00e1vel, cujo cora\u00e7\u00e3o n\u00e3o estava a cooperar, e o pacemaker pode comprometer a vida de uma pessoa, tanto f\u00edsica como mentalmente\", disse o Dr. Sood. \"Os pacemakers t\u00eam de ser mudados de seis em seis ou de dez em dez anos, o que exigiria cirurgias repetidas. Seria um lembrete constante para ela de que algo est\u00e1 errado\".  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explorando op\u00e7\u00f5es de tratamento adicionais, o Dr. Sood contactou o m\u00e9dico turco Tolga Asku atrav\u00e9s do Twitter relativamente a um procedimento inventado pelo Dr. Asku que modifica as termina\u00e7\u00f5es nervosas no cora\u00e7\u00e3o. Atrav\u00e9s da sua pesquisa sobre o trabalho do Dr. Asku, o Dr. Sood descobriu que dois dos pacientes do Dr. Asku tinham diagn\u00f3sticos semelhantes aos de Jennifer. Os dois m\u00e9dicos encontraram-se virtualmente para discutir o caso e concordaram que o procedimento seria no melhor interesse da paciente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quando tomamos decis\u00f5es cl\u00ednicas em casos complexos como este, utilizamos aquilo a que chamamos a abordagem da \"equipa do cora\u00e7\u00e3o\"\", afirmou Dr. Peter Cohn<\/a>m\u00e9dico-chefe do Southcoast Health Heart and Vascular Center. \"Depois de explorar o caso e todas as op\u00e7\u00f5es, Dr. Ramin Davoudi<\/a> (Diretor M\u00e9dico de Eletrofisiologia), Dr. Arnoldas Giedrimas<\/a> (M\u00e9dico de Eletrofisiologia), Dr. M. Wajid Baig<\/a> (Presidente de Credenciais), Robert Geide, RN (Diretor da Linha de Servi\u00e7o de Cardiologia de Interven\u00e7\u00e3o), George Barth, RN (Diretor de Enfermagem Associado), o Dr. Sood e eu pr\u00f3prio decidimos unanimemente avan\u00e7ar com o procedimento de cinco horas - que foi bem sucedido\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \"Tive uma recupera\u00e7\u00e3o tranquila e, desde o procedimento, n\u00e3o tive nenhuma pausa nem uma \u00fanica queda do ritmo card\u00edaco\", disse Link. \"Mudou completamente a forma como vivo o meu dia a dia.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>
\n

\"Estou muito grata a todos os m\u00e9dicos, enfermeiros e funcion\u00e1rios que cuidaram de mim e tiveram em mente o meu melhor interesse\", disse ela.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Quando fui inicialmente \u00e0s urg\u00eancias depois de desmaiar, disseram-me especificamente para vir ao Charlton Memorial porque a equipa card\u00edaca aqui \u00e9 de topo, o que me foi rapidamente mostrado e provado. Durante todo o tempo senti-me \u00e0 vontade, bem tratado e confiante nos meus cuidados.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Durante os pr\u00f3ximos dois anos, Jennifer usar\u00e1 um monitor card\u00edaco min\u00fasculo, colocado mesmo debaixo da pele, que regista todos os batimentos, notificando imediatamente o Centro Card\u00edaco e Vascular do Charlton Memorial de quaisquer aberra\u00e7\u00f5es.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"O caso de Jennifer \u00e9 uma prova dos cuidados abrangentes que a Southcoast Health oferece\", disse o Dr. Sood. \"Estou satisfeito por este procedimento ser uma op\u00e7\u00e3o dispon\u00edvel para pacientes como ela e estou orgulhoso por ajudar a distinguir os cuidados cardiovasculares prestados na Southcoast Health.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O Dr. Sood aguarda com expetativa a publica\u00e7\u00e3o deste caso no Heart Rhythm Journal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A nossa regi\u00e3o nunca teve vergonha de ser inovadora ou de vanguarda, e isso est\u00e1 em conson\u00e2ncia com o nosso sistema de sa\u00fade local e l\u00edder. Alguns dos procedimentos mais avan\u00e7ados e dos novos tratamentos inovadores da medicina atual est\u00e3o a ser realizados aqui\", afirmou o Dr. Cohn. \"Com a excel\u00eancia cl\u00ednica e os cuidados compassivos prestados por prestadores de servi\u00e7os como o Dr. Sood, a Southcoast Health continuar\u00e1 a prestar cuidados de classe mundial \u00e0 nossa comunidade.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
