Relationship between Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction and Number of Fragmented QRS Complex Derivations on Standard 12-Lead Electrocardiogram in Acute ST-Elevated Myocardial Infarction Patients

Aim. During one-year follow-up, to assess the effect of genetic and nongenetic factors on the risk of poor outcomes in patients after myocardial infarction (MI) with high medical adherence.Material and methods. The study included 250 patients admitted to the hospital due to MI in the period from September 1, 2018 to May 1, 2019 and with a potentially high medical adherence. Twelve months after MI, patients were assessed for adherence to therapy and the effect of genetic and nongenetic factors on the patient prognosis.Results. Within 12 months after MI, 70 (28,0%) patients had a composite endpoint: all-cause death, MI, cerebral stroke, and nonelective coronary revascularization. There were following factors increasing the risk of composite endpoint: non-Q-wave MI (relative risk (RR), 2,63; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1,63-4,25 (p=0,001); left ventricular ejection fraction ≤35% — RR, 2,03; 95% CI: 1,17-3,50 (p<0,0001); CYP2C19 GA/AA genotype (RR, 1,58; 95% CI: 1,06-2,37 (p<0,00001)).Conclusion. The study results allow identifying patients with a high risk of poor outcome: patients with non-Q-wave MI, left ventricular ejection fraction ≤35%, and CYP2C19 GA/AA genotype.

Left Ventricular Arterial Coupling

Purpose of the study. Analyze the parameters of the interaction between the left ventricle and the arterial system in patients with chronic forms of coronary heart disease and to identify relationships with levels of proadrenomedullin (MR‑proADM) and N‑terminal precursor of the brain natriuretic peptide B (NT‑proBNP).Materials and methods.240 patients with chronic forms of coronary heart disease (median – 55,9 [43; 63] years) and Q‑forming myocardial infarction in the past were examined. Of these, 110 patients with myocardial infarction and preserved lef ventricular ejection fraction and 130 patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy. All patients were calculated parameters of lef ventricular‑arterial interaction and the determination in blood serum levels of MR‑proADM and NT‑proBNP.Results.In patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy, an increase in the lef ventricular‑arterial interaction index was detected (2,51 [1,18; 5,00]), which reﬂects a decrease in the functional abilities and efficiency of the heart. In patients with myocardial infarction and a preserved left ventricular ejection fraction, this indicator was in the range of normal values (0,78 [0,55; 1,07]), which indicates an eﬀective cardiac work. A study of MR‑proADM and NT‑proBNP levels demonstrated an increase in both groups (1,72 [1,56; 1,98] nmol/l and 779,3 [473; 2193] pg/ml in the group of patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy; 0,89 [0,51; 1,35] nmol/l and 246 [118; 430] pg/ml in the group of patients with myocardial infarction and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction), and the correlation analysis with left ventricular‑arterial coupling interaction parameters allowed identify statistically significant connections (in the group of patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy: with the level of MR‑proADM ‑ r=0,67, p=0,006, with the level of NT‑proBNP ‑ r=0,78, p<0,001; in the group of patients with myocardial infarction and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction: with MR‑proADM level ‑ r=‑0,52, p=0,024, with NT‑proBNP level ‑ r =‑0,38, p=0,037).Conclusion.The findings suggest a pathogenetic association between the biomarkers under study and the parameters of left ventricular‑arterial coupling interaction.

Significant Difference

Background: Relatively high left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) (>65%) in women was recently associated with higher all-cause mortality over 6 years follow-up in the CONFIRM study. We sought to evaluate high EF and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in the Women’s Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation (WISE) study. Methods: The WISE original cohort (enrolled 1996-2000) is a multicenter prospective study of women with suspected ischemic heart disease undergoing clinically indicated invasive coronary angiography. We investigated the relationship between high (>65%) and normal (55-65%) EF and MACE, defined as all-cause death, nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI), stroke and heart failure (HF) hospitalization using Kaplan Meier (KM) and regression analyses. Results: A total of 653 women were included (298 high and 355 normal EF). Mean age was 58±11 years and mean EF was 68±7%. There was no significant difference in MACE by EF group over a 10-year follow-up period (log rank p=0.54, Figure ). When patients were stratified by the presence of obstructive CAD, MACE rates remained similar between high and normal EF. High EF was not associated with stroke or HF but had a lower MI risk (log rank p=0.03, Table ). EF was not associated with MACE in a multivariable regression model. Conclusions: Among women presenting with evidence of ischemia, there was no significant difference in MACE between high and normal EF groups. High EF was associated with a lower risk of myocardial infarction as an individual component of MACE.
