With the passage of time, technology has transformed into an allied force on the campus of medicine.

Machines, computers and other robotic equipment have revolutionized science and health. No one should serve to simplify surgical procedures, but it should also help to prolong the life of patients. Some of these great advances are due to the medical devices that he played an important role in the maneuvering of the conditions of the race as the entrances of the myocardium.
In an interview with the journal Medicina y Salud Pública, Dr. Hilton Franqui, electrophysiologist and Dr. Héctor Martínez, a cardiologist who intervenes deeply in the new devices that are used to control the various pathologies that develop in the heart.
Medical devices for the heart
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), medical devices are “Essentials for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of nurses and nurses are safe and effective”. The OMS signals that a medical device can be “Any instrument, apparatus, implement, machine, implant, reactive for use in vitro, software, material or other similar or related article”. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, by its English seal) is the one that regularly regulates the safety and efficacy of these devices before they can be commercialized and used in a medical office in a hospital.
In the case of cardiac diseases, there are devices that are used to treat some pathogens and that can occur within the body of the patient, depending on the condition and severity of it. One of the most innovative is the stent the intracoronary prosthetic device used for myocardial infarction infarcts, known as a coronal attack.
“A myocardial infarction is when a coronary artery is taped and the coronary muscle is pierced with its oxygen supply and the death of that part of the coronary artery. There are so many medications that can be used as therapy for myocardial infarction. “Because it has revolutionized the maneuvering of its stents, it is an intracoronary device that helps to stabilize or destroy the area where the infarction occurs, restoring oxygen supply,” explains Dr. Martínez.
Thanks to the various technological advances and the exhaustive search for new mechanisms that only the patient can prove to have a better quality of life, the assimilation of the specialist to achieve a much more effective and secure labor in a short time will be short. tareas anexas.
“Existing brands, defibrillators that have been constantly evolving, in addition to cardiac monitors, these are the devices that have been used (…). The brands have passed the tamana of a cantimplora and are implanted in the abdomen, now have herramientas that no poseen cables and are diminutos, tal vez of the tamaño of a battery and implant directly in the corazon, the defibrillators tienen la capacidad ”only to salvage at the same time to realize a recovery therapy (…) and the monitors its extremely small, its herramientas of memory, injected into the skin and in this way we can monitor the patient with presumptive cardiac arrhythmia”, said el Franqui.
What is the objective of the stente?
According to doctor Martínez González, el stent -an invasive procedure that introduces traverses of catheters specialized in the area of the ankle or the brace are used for
“Release the stress that can occur in the arteries of the coronary artery associated with the infarction and can also be used for the treatment of angina or pain”
. “¿And why did the people suffer from bad luck? It can be caused by these things: because there is a stretch in the artery of the coronary artery, which provokes that the patient is suffering from bad luck or that he develops an acute myocardial infarction. Because something is the pain of bad luck that can be a symptom that little by little it develops versus the myocardial infarction that can provoke a bad pain, ”said Martinez.
The use of this device in Puerto Rico
About the use of intracoronary insertion devices or stente, the cardiologist indicated that ‘Off Puerto Rico hoo pocos hospitals are at the same time a cabo este procedimiento. In the metro area hay approximately 4 or 5 hospitals that it has, in the area on hay of hospitals and ours in the area west we are the only hospital that has this procedure ”. In the event that the patient is rushed to a hospital where no disposition is available, this type of device utilizes potent drugs known as thrombolytic to dissipate the associated artery into a coagulum.
Asimismo, Martínez González signaled that any patient with an acute myocardial infarction should be considered for the insertion of the device stent because “the most important is that it connects an inflamed entrance where it suspects that the patient connects an artery of the coronary artery and there is a dramatic benefit in provoking one of these stents and relieving its obstruction. There are many patients who do not apply for this procedure. The patient has been alive for 97 years now ”.
Other devices for cardiac injuries
In addition to other devices for attending cardiac conditions such as defibrillators and markers, the cardiologist indicates that they can be used in other ways because the inlet is working.
“They are devices for when the coronation is debilitating or the cardiomyopathy is a cardiomyopathy, which means that an area or different areas of the coronation can be very debilitated and these devices with markers or defibrillators are an option. In the agoda stage where we use the malls it is a stage for emergence where we need to salvage the life of the patient immediately. The defibrillator helps a lot to reduce the mortality in the large placenta, while the small – on us destroy the artery – we are salvaging the patient immediately., just the cardiologist.
For another case, there are some affections that suelen have a much more aggressive presentation, for these conditions there is a device that regulates the pulsations and cardiac functions and stabilizes the required function that presents irregularity in individual determination.
“The defibrillators are used specifically for people who have a strong heart rate, say the pulsation fraction, on the patient is given a specific number, 30%, 40%, 50% and this normal number is 55%, now when it comes to what it is because he has ten probabilities of entering the coronation and calibrating the use of these devices ”concluded the electrophysiologist.
