Xanit Hospital international begins to speak to patients of United States need implants aortic prosthesis gastrostomies.

the hospital is the only private Centre in Andalusia that performs this type of procedures, which do not offer in United States.

Benalmádena (Málaga), 2011-June Xanit Hospital International has begun to intervene in patients of United States they need implant gastrostomies aortic prosthesis, hospital being the only private institution in and one of the few at the national level that performs this kind of procedures that do not offer at the moment in United States.

hospital has done recently and successfully a percutaneous aortic prosthesis implant to a patient coming from EE.UU. with aortic stenosis, which was derived exclusively to Málaga for the realization of this practice, which is evolving favourably. “ Aortic stenosis is a narrowing of the aortic valve, which is responsible for the departure of blood from the heart to the aorta and the Agency. It is a disease of the ‘ aging ’ which increases exponentially with age, and whose only treatment is, when a severe stenosis, the valvular replacement ”, says Dr. José María Hernández, director of the laboratory of hemodynamics of Xanit Hospital international, who pointed out that few years ago the only solution was the surgery and that currently there are many patients with surgical risk very high or inoperable directly benefit from the implant of heart valve without operation with a catheter.

according to Dr. Gómez Doblas, Director of the area in the heart of Xanit Hospital international “ are one of the few centers exclusively private practice the percutaneous prosthetic implant and is proud that we have been elected by our facilities and the quality of our professionals alike to perform such a complex procedure for us ”.

this statement was made by Dr. José María Hernández, director of the laboratory of hemodynamics of Xanit Hospital international and counted with the collaboration of Dr. Miguel Such, Chief of service of surgery cardiac of Xanit Hospital international.

the consequences of this fact, according to Dr Hernández, are “ more positive, we can offer to a patient an innovative resource capable of minimizing the surgical intervention and that it is associated with a drastic reduction in the occurrence of complications and mortality risk ”. In addition, says that from the point of view of private health care, this intervention has become a landmark. “ Not only expresses the capacity of our hospital problem with this technique a very common, but also are approaching this type of speech people are only assigned to a private insurance and that still not could be to a percutaneous valve prosthesis implant ”.

el Dr. José María Hernández is one of the pioneers in the implementation of these aortic prosthesis at the national level, having conducted more than 400 procedures in Spain and South America, where often moves to teach the technique to other professionals. In addition, it has a proven experience in all types of percutaneous procedures both in the bypass coronary in the treatment of diseases.

Xanit has an area of heart made up of 17 specialists, organized into four subgroups. Cardiology Clinic, hemodynamics, arrhythmias and cardiac surgery. An equipment that integra cardiologists and cardiac surgeons in the same group, thus coordinating the tasks entailed in the implementation of a complex intervention as the derivative of the implant a heart valve by catheterization, rather than the classical open surgery.

Xanit Hospital international , which has agreements with major insurance companies national and international and mutual work, it has the most advanced technology in the field of health in Malaga. private medicine

Xanit International has a team made up of more than 650 professionals, it has 13,000 m2 distributed over five floors with 110 individual rooms. It also has a medical center, Xanit Fuengirola, which brings your medical team to continue care with the same quality and agility.

new intelligent pacemakers remarkably improve the quality of life of patients with arrhythmias

-The EUROPACE Congress of the European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA), which is being held from Sunday, 26 and until today, brings this year in Madrid the best specialists in rhythms from all over Europe

– sessions where helped the Spanish Cardiology Society (SEC), among the entitled “ The true benefits of CRM therapy are chronic, not short-term ”, which shows how to improve the safety and quality of life of patients with arrhythmias through new intelligent pacemakers who have arrived this year to Spain

– more than 34,000 pacemakers are implanted annually in our country. Due to the large number of functions of them and the lack of resources available to carry out a proper follow-up to the patients, the functions of the current pacemakers are bad and little exploited

-thank you will these smart pacemaker is optimize automatically the features of the device on a daily basis without having to wait for the annual visit to the specialist. This will improve the adaptation to the needs of the patient, reducing the feeling of fatigue, avoid dizziness and improving their ability of effort.

Madrid, June of 2011. The European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) being held in Madrid, from Sunday, 26 and until today Wednesday, June 29, meeting EUROPACE, in which there are cites the best specialists in rhythms from all over Europe.

Several members of the Spanish society of Cardiology (SEC) are actively participating in this meeting, collaborating as speakers or moderators in various sessions of the Congress.

Presentations, among the entitled “ The true benefits of CRM therapy are chronic, not short-term ” and moderated by Dr. Richard Becker, Internal Medicine Physician and Cardiovascular Disease Physician of Cortlandt Manor New York (NY), and Dr. Ignacio Fernández Lozano, section President, electrophysiology and arrhythmias from the SEC. It has made special emphasis on how innovations recently appeared in the field of the treatment of rhythm heart go to remarkably improve the management of patients with arrhythmias, taking advantage of all the functions available to the pacemaker and adapting constantly to the needs of the patient.

In our country are implanted annually more than 34,000 pacemaker, according to the national register of pacemakers. This figure is increasing, but the number of specialists responsible for the follow-up of the patients is not concurrently, so in most cases, patients visit only the specialist once a year, a poor review for proper optimization of the device you carry.

This fact makes the multiple roles that have a pacemaker use little and badly in most cases, missed many of the options that allows the device by the inability to take a routine control of the same.

“ Given the number of patients, is very difficult to optimize all pacemakers for each individual, which is why many times are they programmed in a generic way, but some patients need a specific programming that his pacemaker is better suited to his heart, getting the proper frequency control ”, says Dr. Fernández Lozano.

Fortunately, increasingly are new devices that facilitate the management of patients with arrhythmias. Since January, already found in Spain intelligent pacemaker that daily adjust their functions automatically, constantly adapting to the needs of the patient without obligation visit to a specialist, unless there is no complication.

“ This new family of devices achieve these sick heart work better, increasing its capacity of effort, reducing the feeling of fatigue and avoiding the appearance of dizziness ”, notes Fernández Lozano.

Also, pacemakers and defibrillators for remote monitoring, who came to Spain a few years ago, help a lot to the control of this type of patient. After introducing the device to the patient, a console, connected to the landline or mobile, that he must leave on the night table is provided to you. The device obtains data from the pacemaker while the patient sleeps, analyses them and sends them to a web page to which the physician has daily access. If there any alarming data (tachycardia, displacement of some cable, battery empty …) specialist receives an SMS or an email automatically.

“ Thanks to all these devices, the safety of the patient with arrhythmia is improving greatly ”, concludes Dr. Fernández Lozano.

the removal of tonsils and the Appendix during childhood increases the risk of heart attack future.

according to a study published in the latest edition of the European Heart Journal.


– tonsillectomy and an appendectomy performed before age 20 increased the chances of suffering a heart attack by 44% and 33% respectively.

– both the tonsils and the appendix are secondary Lymphoid organs and play an important role in the immune system. This role seems to be greater during the first years of life.

– the results obtained in this study, conducted by researchers at the Department of public health of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm (Sweden), reaffirm the familiar relationship between inflammation and risk of disease cardiovascular.

-the Spanish society of Cardiology recommends only will extirpate the tonsils and the Appendix, bodies components of our immune system, when other treatments have not been fruitful.

Madrid, 2011-June according to a study recently published in the European Heart Journal, removal of the tonsils before age 20 increased by 44%, the risk of suffering a heart attack (AMI) while that the removal of the appendix does so in a 33%

both the tonsils and the appendix are considered secondary Lymphoid organs and components of the human immune system by which play an important role in the natural defence of the body against infections, with greater importance during the early years of life.

the removal of the tonsils and the appendix are common surgical procedures. Specifically, in our country between 10% and 20% of children receive any of these two operations.

“ although the exact mechanism is not yet known for sure, the authors of the study believe that the increase in the risk of stroke in an appendix or tonsils removed is as a result of the alteration which causes this surgery in the immune system ” emphasizes Dr. Alfonso Varela Román, Deputy Secretary of the society Spanish of cardiology.

“ that it becomes increasingly evident with studies such as this, is the role of inflammation in the development of arteriosclerosis, which in turn can lead to a heart attack ” continues Dr. Varela Román. “ the presence of inflammatory mediators in the coronary arteries favours the development of atheroma plaque and can trigger a heart attack ”.

“ is important to not alert the population about these interventions, as the only study suggests the existence of a possible causal relationship to it from the Spanish society of Cardiology recommended is that they only occur in cases in which another type of treatment has not been effective, avoiding preventive interventions, as various studies conducted in recent years, demonstrate that the removal of these secondary Lymphoid organs is not as harmless as you thought ” concludes Dr..

the study was conducted way back by researchers from the Department of public health of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm (Sweden). Analysed national health records of Sweden between 1955 and 1970, in which were 54.449 apendicectomías and 27.284 amigdalectomías made below 20.

Becomes “ expensive plant to infarction ”, a campaign to raise awareness about the importance of establishing areas cardioprotegidas.

mortality from cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in Spain

– every 20 minutes produced in our country a stopped heart and six of every 10 affected die before reaching the hospital. Mortality from cardiovascular disease accounts for 32.5 per cent of the total

– every minute of delay in resuscitation maneuvers decreases the chances of survival between 7 and 10 per cent, still, 42 per cent of patients not no resuscitation maneuver is practiced before the arrival of the medical equipment

– it is estimated that every year increases 1.5% the number of cases of angina and heart that entered the Spanish hospitals

-the campaign mission is educate the public of the need to implement cardioprotegidas areas, installing portable defibrillators on key points: sports centres, companies, hotels, gyms, schools

Madrid, 2011-June aiming to educate the citizens of the importance of prevention and the need to implement cardioprotegidas with defibrillators portá areaslaptops at key points such as schools, gyms, hotels, or sports centres, among others, the campaign set in motion “ expensive plant to infarction ”, with the collaboration of Oxidoc and the support of the European Foundation for Health, Research and Education, Scientific International Committee of Emergencies, the International Federation of Emergency Associations 112, the Spanish rescue societyRescue and Socorrismo-Medicina intervention in emergencies, catastrophes and disasters, the Spanish Association of emergency 112 and the American Heart Association Authorized Training Center.

He is estimated that every year increases 1.5% the number of cases of angina and heart that entered the Spanish hospitals. The total number of strokes, only 61 per cent receives hospital care and it is estimated that more than one-third died before reaching the hospital.

The estimate of the cost of ischemic heart disease in 2003 was 1.948,89 million euros between direct and indirect costs, and cardiovascular diseases represent an annual total cost for the Spanish of some € 7 billion public system.

The campaign “ expensive plant to infarction ”, aims to create a network of areas cardioprotegidas that allows to have quick access to a defibrillator in the event of sudden death or myocardial infarction, as indicated by the study, 80% of deaths from heart attack could avoid having quick access to a DEA (External Defibrillator semi automatic). The campaign has been available to the public website www.plantacaraalinfarto.com, which offers tips on how to proceed from a heart attack and how cardioprotegerse.

For Dr. Leandro Plaza bushel, President of the Spanish Foundation of the heart, and one of the participants in the presentation “ action is needed to prevent cardiovascular disease, it is the leading cause of death in developed countries. It is a disease that begins in the 1920s, increases with age and does not cure ”, and continues to “ is the responsibility of the patients avoid the four major risk factors: high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking and diabetes, and is responsible for the Administration to invest in prevention for citizens ”.

Campaign features the image of former Miguel García, a midfielder who with 31 years, fell today in plenary meeting on October 24, 2010, during the course of the Party of the Union Deportiva Salamanca against Real Betis, and whom the swift action of the medical services of the club saved lives with two downloads of the defibrillator. Miguel García was stopped temporarily for 20 seconds.

“ We are facing a pathology dependent, because with each minute of delay in the adoption of measures the chance of survival decreases 10%. “We in SAMUR adopt the chain of life that includes early warning, the training of nationals in techniques of CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation), semi-automatic defibrillation, advanced life support care and coordination with useful Centre for leads to each patient Center specialized in your problem”, the Dr. Erwig poultry Torres Deputy Director General of the SAMUR-Civil protection, said during the presentation.

The campaign will be, from the month of September, Barcelona, Valencia, Sevilla and Bilbao with demonstrations, actions of awareness-raising, etc.

Mr. Miguel Vaquer, President of Oxidoc, said “ I would like everyone to have clear that nowadays all defibrillators are safe and that it is important that people lose fear using them because no patient will only worsen with the use of defibrillator, if not needed, but you need it can save your life ”.

OXIDOC was founded in 1988 and is a Spanish company based in Palma de Mallorca from medical products. It was created initially in order to give coverage to the growing demand for kits by the mutual work accident being innovative in this regard with the introduction of the kit of plastic as a means of improving first aid in the company, which has led him to become undisputed leaders in this market in the Spanish State.

primary angioplasty is positioned in Spain as the technique most used before a heart attack of myocardium.

22ND annual section meeting of hemodynamics & interventional cardiology of the SEC.

– in the framework of the 22ND annual meeting of the section of hemodynamics & interventional cardiology, Spanish society of Cardiology (SEC) which was held in Valencia, the success of the Stent For Life initiative, devised by the European Society of Cardiology has corroborated and which helps the SEC, it has managed to increase by 6.5 per cent the number of primary angioplastias to a heart attack of myocardium.

– during the meeting, the national registry of activity data were also presented in interventional cardiology and showing a growth of more than 100% in coronary interventions in the past 10 years.

РRegistry TAVI, (transcat̩ter of aortic valve implantation) has done for the first time in Spain. TAVI is a technique carried out on patients who suffer from aortic stenosis and show contraindications to surgery. This record, presented during the meeting, has proved a success for 94 per cent among the patients implanted.

– The register TAVI has been made thanks to the collaboration of the section of hemodynamics & interventional cardiology of the Spanish society of surgery Torácica-Cardiovascular and the support of SEC.

valencia, June 2011.- section of hemodynamics & interventional cardiology, Spanish society of Cardiology (SEC) held their annual meeting, the most important which took place in Spain on this subject. During this meeting the national registry of activity data have been presented in interventional cardiology, who has shown a growth of more than 100% in coronary interventions in the last 10 years (from 31.290 interventions in 2001 to 64.331 in 2010).

success in Spain of the initiative Stent For Life.

according to the national register of activity in interventional cardiology, Spain has increased by 6.5 per cent employment of primary angioplasty as a technique to a heart attack (AMI), which makes this technique as most used by cardiologists above fibrinolysis.

primary angioplasty is the occlusion of the coronary artery by means of mechanical destruction of the clot to then deploy a stent (MeSH) to resolve the underlying tightness. On the contrary, the fibrinolysis consists of the administration of drugs that dissolve the clot desobstruyendo glass bottle capping.

“ Spanish cardiologists to prefer the use of primary angioplasty as a response to a heart attack, is the result of the success of the Stent For Life initiative, devised by the European Society of Cardiology, which also involved the SEC ” emphasizes Dr. Javier Goicolea, President of the hemodynamics & interventional cardiology of the SEC. section

in Spain 2010 were an average of 235 primary angioplastias for every million inhabitants. Navarre, with 410 primary angioplastias per million inhabitants is the autonomous community that more interventions has done; While Valencia, with 122 angioplastias, is the least.

“ this difference of interventions is due to the lack of centralized, promoted and supported by the different health administrations ”, concludes Dr. Goicolea



TAVI, an effective alternative to conventional surgery in replacement of aortic in patients of high risk.

section of hemodynamics and interventional cardiology in the SEC and the Spanish society of surgery Torácica-Cardiovascular, developed for the first time in Spain TAVI registration, which collects and analyzes the results of interventions TAVI (impantación aortic valve transcatéter) in patients who suffer from aortic stenosis and which may not be operated by the be considered high risk. conventional surgery

aortic stenosis is a narrowing of the aortic valve which reduces the flow of blood from the heart. It is the disease’s most common heart valve in the West, which affects 2% of the population over 65 years, 3 per cent of persons aged 75 years and 4 per cent over the age of 85.

make a surgical replacement of the aortic valve open heart becomes necessary in these cases, since if the intervention is not performed, the survival of patients after three years of the diagnosis of the disease is less than 30 per cent. However, there is a large number of people affected cannot operate because of contraindications and high surgical risk posed by the operation.

in this situation, in recent years has developed the technique TAVI, implement via the transfemoral aortic valve (through the femoral artery) or transapical (through a small incision through the ribs).

“ this technique implies a decrease in the risk of patients during the intervention, that prevents the opening of the heart, postoperative time is much less ” says Dr. Goicolea.

the registry TAVI, presented this morning, has proved a success of 94% in patients that this intervention was conducted in 2010 in Spain, patients who were not eligible to receive conventional surgery. Thus, 30 days of the intervention, mortality among these patients was 7%.
