Ca125 Level

Abstract Background: carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) is an increasingly promising biomarker of heart failure (HF), but its prognostic value in female patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is unclear. We aimed to determine the short-term and mid-term prognostic value of CA125 serum levels in female ACS patients.Methods: A total of 131 consecutive female patients with ACS were retrospective enrolled. Their CA125 levels, B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels and biochemical parameters were measured, and echocardiography was performed at admission. All-cause mortality during hospitalization and two-year follow-up was investigated for the prognosis.Results: The median value of CA125 serum level in the entire ACS patients was 13.85 U/mL. Patients in Killip Ⅲ had the highest values of CA125 level, followed by Killip Ⅱ and then Killip Ⅰ (p < 0.05). However, no statical difference was observed between Killip Ⅳ and Ⅰ-Ⅲ groups respectively (P > 0.05). The CA125 serum levels showed weak positive correlation with left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) (r = 0.3, P < 0.01) and a weak negative correlation with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (r = –0.23, p < 0.01). A receive operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that the AUC of CA125 in predicting acute heart failure (AHF) in ACS patients during hospitalization was 0.912, exhibiting higher sensitivity and specificity than BNP (0.846). The optimal cut-off value for CA125 in predicting AHF was 16.4 U/mL with a sensitivity of 0.916 and specificity of 0.893. The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis demonstrated that patients with high values of CA125 level had a poor overall survival than those with low values of CA125 level (log-rank, p < 0.001), whether during hospitalization or mid-term follow-up. Conclusion: Elevated CA125 level can be used to predict AHF in female ACS patients. Patients with elevated CA125 levels had higher mortality in short-term and mid-term than those with low CA125 levels.

Abstract Background: Higher circulating soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2 (sST2) concentration is suggested as a marker of prognosis in many cardiovascular diseases. However, the short-term and long-term prognostic value of sST2 concentration in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains to be summarized. Methods: A meta-analysis of follow-up studies was performed. Studies were identified via systematic search of databases including PubMed, Cochrane’s Library, and Embase. A fixed- or random-effect model was applied according to the heterogeneity. We reported the prognostic value of sST2 concentration for all-cause mortality, heart failure (HF) events, and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) within 1 month after hospitalization and during subsequent follow-up. Results: Twelve studies with 11690 ACS patients were included. Higher baseline sST2 concentration as continuous variables predicte the increased risk of all-cause mortality (risk ratio [RR]: 3.16, P=0.002), HF events (RR: 1.48, P<0.001), and MACEs (RR: 1.47, P<0.001) within 1 month after hospitalization, which is consistent with the results with sST2 concentration as categorized variables (RR = 2.14, 2.89, and 2.89 respectively, P all <0.001). Moreover, higher baseline sST2 concentration as continuous variables predict the increased risk of all-cause mortality (RR: 2.20, P<0.001), HF events (RR: 1.39, P<0.001), and MACEs (RR: 1.53, P=0.02) during subsequent follow-up. Meta-analysis with sST2 concentration as categorized variables retrieved similar results (RR = 2.65, 2.59, and 1.81 respectively, P all <0.001). Conclusions: Higher circulating sST2 concentration at baseline predicts poor clinical outcome in ACS patients.

Abstract Background Sepsis is heterogenous with regard to factors such as causal microorganism, patient predisposition, co-morbidity and response to therapy, a key element and unifying feature is the manifestation of cardiovascular dysfunction. Elevated concentrations of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) are frequently observed in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock even in the absence of an acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Objective To evaluate the prognostic value of (cTnI) with echocardiography assessment in septic patients. Patients and Methods This study was conducted at the intensive care units of Ain Shams university hospitals. 20 patients of both sexes with age ranging from 18 to 70 years diagnosed with sepsis admitted to Intensive care unit were included in prospective observational study. Results Baseline cTnI had a significant positive correlation with follow up troponine (p = 0.0016). Baseline EF had a significant negative correlation with follow up troponine (p = 0.036). Using ROC-curve analysis, troponin level at a cutoff point (&gt;1.9) predicted patients with mortality, with good (87%) accuracy, sensitivity= 90% and specificity= 90% (p &lt; 0.01). Conclusion Elevated concentrations of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) are frequently observed in patients with sepsis and septic shock even in the absence of an acute coronary syndrome.

Background: Around 7 million patients undergo percutaneous interventional vascular procedures worldwide annually and this number is expected to escalate further in coming years. The aim of this study was to analyse immediate and short term follow up of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) who had undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) through femoral route and closure with vascular closure device.Methods: This was non randomised, single centre study and was conducted in a tertiary care institution between January 2013 to June 2014 with 62 ACS patients undergoing femoral access invasive cardiac interventional procedure. Perclose A-T system was used in all patients as closure device. Patients were followed up to 15 days of clinical evaluation.Results: Of 62 ACS patients, 40 (64.5%) were with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction and 22 (35.5%) patients had history of unstable angina. The perclose device achieved closure within 5 to 10 minutes and all patients were kept in hospital stay for 2 to 3 days. There was one major complication of continuous bleeding, one incidence of small pseudo aneurysm, and two incidences of small hematomas with need of blood transfusion.Conclusions: This study demonstrates the ability of arterial closure device to safely and effectively achieve arterial closure in patients undergoing percutaneous intervention for ACS.

Abstract Background and aims: This study investigates the long-term prognostic value of homocysteine in patients with acute coronary syndrome complicated with hypertension. Methods:The current work is a multicenter, retrospective, observational cohort study. We consecutively enrolled 1288 ACS patients hospitalized in 11 general hospitals in Chengdu, China, from June 2015 to December 2019. The patients were divided into hypertension and non-hypertension groups, and each was further classified into hyperhomocysteinemia (H-Hcy) and normal homocysteinemia (N-Hcy) groups according to the cut-off value of homocysteine predicting long-term mortality during follow-up. In both groups, we used Kaplan-Meier and multivariate Cox regression analysis to assess the relationship between homocysteine and long-term prognosis. Results: The median follow-up time was 18 months (range: 13.83-22.37). During this period, 78 (6.05%) death cases were recorded. The hypertension was further divided into H-Hcy (n=245) and N-Hcy (n=543), with an optimal cut-off value of 16.81 µmol/L. Similarly, non-hypertension was further divided into H-Hcy (n=200) and N-Hcy (n=300), with an optimal cut-off value of 14 µmol/L. Kaplan-Meier survival curves revealed that H-Hcy had a significantly lower survival probability than N-Hcy, both in hypertension and non-hypertension (P-value<0.01). After adjusting for confounding factors, multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that H-Hcy (HR=2.1923, 95% CI: 1.213-3.9625, P＜0.01) was an independent predictor of long-term all-cause death in ACS with hypertension, but not in non-hypertension.Conclusion: Elevated homocysteine level predicts risk of all-cause mortality in ACS with hypertension, but not in those without hypertension. it should be considered when determining risk stratification for ACS, particularly those complicating hypertension.
