Introduction: Clinical prognosis in diabetic patients comorbid with coronary artery disease (CAD) remained poor, even in the current drug-eluting stent (DES) era. However, there has been a limited evidence about the prognosis in diabetic patients with CAD who were treated with dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4i). Methods: This study is a subanalysis from the TWINCRE registry that is a multicentral prospective cohort including patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at 12 hospitals in Japan between 2017 and 2019. Among 1,905 registered patients who were followed up, we ultimately evaluated 615 diabetic patients. They were divided into two groups depending on the prescription of DPP4i at the hospital discharge after the index PCI; DPP4i group (n=287) and Non-DPP4i group (n=328). For the two groups, we performed propensity-score (PS) matching using variables as follows: age, sex, acute coronary syndrome, left ventricular ejection fraction, serum creatinine, insulin use, prescriptions of statin, beta blocker, aspirin, and ACE inhibitor/ARB. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) including death, acute coronary syndrome, stent thrombosis, hospitalization due to heart failure and ischemic stroke. Results: Overall MACCE was observed in 70 patients (11.4%) during 364 days of median observation period. In unmatched patients, Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that patients in the DPP4i group showed a significantly lower MACCE rate than those in the Non-DPP4i group (Log-rank test, p=0.009, Figure A). In 284 PS-matched patients, patients in the DPP4i group still had lower MACCE rate than those in the non-DPP4i group (hazard ratio 0.39, 95% confidence interval 0.16-0.96, p=0.034, Figure B). Conclusion: Propensity-matching analysis showed that hyperglycemia control by DPP4i was associated with better 1-year clinical outcomes in diabetic patients after PCI in the contemporary DES era.

AimsThere is a paucity of evidence supporting routine beta blocker (BB) use in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The aim of this study was to evaluate BB use post PCI and its association with mortality. Furthermore, the study aimed to evaluate the association between BB and mortality in the subgroups of patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <35%, LVEF 35%–50% and LVEF >50%.MethodsUsing a large PCI registry, data from patients with ACS between January 2005 and June 2017 who were alive at 30 days were analysed. Those patients taking BB at 30 days were compared with those who were not taking BB. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality. The mean follow-up was 5.3±3.5 years.ResultsOf the 17 562 patients, 83.3% were on BB. Mortality was lower in the BB group (13.1% vs 19.5%, p=0.0001). Multivariable Cox proportional hazards model showed that BB use was associated with lower overall mortality (adjusted HR 0.87, 95% CI 0.78 to 0.97, p=0.014). In the subgroup analysis, BB use was associated with reduced mortality in LVEF <35% (adjusted HR 0.63, 95% CI 0.44 to 0.91, p=0.013), LVEF 35%–50% (adjusted HR 0.80, 95% CI 0.68 to 0.95, p=0.01), but not LVEF >50% (adjusted HR 1.03, 95% CI 0.87 to 1.21, p=0.74).ConclusionBB use remains high and is associated with reduced mortality. This reduction in mortality is primarily seen in those with reduced ejection fraction, but not in those with preserved ejection fraction.

Objective Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a serious complication in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This study aimed to analyze the potential risk factors for CIN in patients undergoing PCI. Methods Patients with ACS who underwent PCI treatment from January 2017 to January 2020 were selected. The patients’ characteristics and medical information were collected and compared. Results A total of 1331 patients undergoing PCI were included. The incidence of CIN was 15.33%. Logistic regression analyses showed that a left ventricular ejection fraction ≤45% (odds ratio [OR] 4.18, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.10–7.36), serum creatinine levels ≤60 μmol/L (OR 3.03, 95% CI 1.21–5.57), age ≥65 years (OR 2.75, 95% CI 1.32–4.60), log N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide levels ≥2.5 pg/mL (OR 2.31, 95% CI 1.18–5.13), uric acid levels ≥350 μmol/L (OR 2.29, 95% CI 1.04–5.30), emergency percutaneous intervention (OR 1.35, 95% CI 0.34–3.12), and triglyceride levels ≤1.30 mmol/L (OR 1.10, 95% CI 0.01–2.27) were independent risk factors for CIN in patients who underwent PCI. Conclusions Early prevention is required to reduce the occurrence of CIN in patients who undergo PCI and have risk factors for CIN.
