Elevated lipoprotein(a) as a predictor for multivessel disease in patients with premature acute coronary syndrome

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. OnBehalf Netherlands Heart Registration Background It is important to gain more insight into cardiogenic shock (CS), as currently little is known on how to improve outcomes. The aim of this study was to assess the incidence, clinical outcome and predictors for mortality of CS in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients treated by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods The Netherlands Heart Registration (NHR) is a nationwide registry on all cardiac interventions. We used NHR data of ACS patients treated with PCI between 2015 and 2019. CS was defined as shock present at admission. Cox regression analysis was used to calculate hazard ratios (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results Among 75,407 ACS patients treated with PCI, 3,028 patients (4.1%) were identified with CS. The incidences of CS were respectively; 4.3%, 3.9%, 3.5% and 4.3% per year. Median follow-up duration was 9 months (IQR 0-26) for patients with CS and 22 months (IQR 12-36) for patients without CS. Thirty-day mortality was 36% for patient with CS and 3% for patients without CS (p < 0.001). Factors independently associated with mortality in CS were: age (HR 1.02, 95%CI 1.02-1.03), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (HR 0.98, 95%CI 0.98-0.99), diabetes mellitus (DM) (HR 1.25, 95%CI 1.08-1.45), multivessel disease (HR 1.22, 95%CI 1.06-1.39), prior myocardial infarction (MI) (HR 1.24, 95%CI 1.06-1.45) and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) (HR 1.71, 95%CI 1.50-1.94) (Table 1). Conclusion In this Dutch nationwide registry-based study of ACS patients treated by PCI, the incidence of CS was 4.1% over the 4-year study period. Predictors for mortality in CS were higher age, renal insufficiency, presence of DM, multivessel disease, prior MI and OHCA.

Background: The incidence of multivessel disease in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is expected to be identified as early as possible in order to perform optimal management. The presence of multivessel disease can lead to ischemia or myocardial infarction. Fragmented QRS complex (fQRS) is a new electrocardiography (ECG) parameter that has been proven to be caused by ischemia or myocardial infarction.Methods: A cross-sectional study. Patients with ACS that admitted at Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Makassar since December 2014 - March 2015 who are eligible were enrolled in this study.Presence of fQRS evaluated on first 12-lead ECG at hospital admission. Presence of multivessel disease based on coronary angiography. Data were analyzed by logistic regression. Data was significant if the p-value<0.05.Results: There are 63 subjects (56 men and 7 women) included in this study. Older age, history of ACS before, presence of dyslipidemia, and presence of fQRS were significantly more often in group with multivessel disease. After analyzed with logistic regression, the fQRS was the only significant predictor of multivessel disease with p value 0.003 and odds ratio 13.28.Conclusion: Presence of fQRS in the first 12-lead ECG when admitted to the hospital was an independent predictor of multivessel disease in patients with ACS.
