Background and Aims: Frontal QRS-T angle has been previously correlated with long term mortality in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of frontal QRS-T angle and in-hospital outcomes in the setting of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods: We evaluated 97 consecutive patients presenting to the emergency department of Shahid Gangalal National Heart Centre with chest pain of less than 12 hours duration, who were subsequently diagnosed as ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction in a prospective observational study. The study was conducted from July 2020 to June 2021.The data evaluation included demographics, clinical variables, electrocardiogram, length of hospital stay and in hospital mortality. Patient outcomes were stratified into three groups according to frontal QRS-T angle. The relationship between mortality and frontal QRS-T angle was tested with chi-square test. The p-value across the groups was again tested for inter-group significance. Results: Out of 97 patients 67 (69.07%) were male and 30 (30.92%) were female., The mean age of study population was 55.8±11.8 years. The patients under study were divided into three groups based on the calculation of fQRST angle as Group 1 (0-45°) being 46(47.4%), Group 2(46-90°) being 20(20.6%) and Group 3 (>90°) with 31(32%) cases. Diabetes and Congestive heart failure (CHF) patients were more likely to have increase in frontal QRST angle (P value 0.029, 0.012 respectively). Atrial fibrillation (AF) was higher among patients in group 3(>90° frontal QRST angle) which was statistically significant (0.012). Although the mean length of hospital stay was higher among patients with highest frontal QRST angle, it was statistically insignificant (p Value 0.062) however, the chance of hospital stay durations significantly increases across three groups at a 5% significance level (p-value: 0.018). In hospital mortality increased with increase in frontal QRST angle with 8.7%, 15% and 22.6% in group 1, 2 and 3 respectively however it was statistically insignificant. Conclusion:  Diabetes, CHF and AF patients were more likely to have increase in frontal QRST angle. The chance of hospital stay duration significantly increases with increase in frontal QRST angle Although the in hospital mortality increased with increase in the frontal QRST angle, it was statistically insignificant. A prospective study with larger sample size will help to clarify its association.

Abstract Background Malnutrition and sarcopenia are common features of frailty. Prevalence of frailty among ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients is higher in women than men. Purpose Assess gender-based differences in the impact of nutritional risk index (NRI) and frailty in one-year mortality rate among STEMI patients following primary angioplasty (PA). Methods Cohort of 321 consecutive patients (64 years [54–75]; 22.4% women) admitted to a general ICU after PA for STEMI. NRI was calculated as 1.519 × serum albumin (g/L) + 41.7 × (actual body weight [kg]/ideal weight [kg]). Vulnerable and moderate to severe NRI patients were those with Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS)≥4 and NRI<97.5, respectively. We used Kaplan-Meier survival model. Results Baseline and mortality variables of 4 groups (NRI-/CFS-; NRI+/CFS-; NRI+/CFS- and NRI+/CFS+) are depicted in the Table. Prevalence of malnutrition, frailty or both were significantly greater in women (34.3%, 10% y 21.4%, respectively) than in men (28.9%, 2.8% y 6.0%, respectively; P<0.001). Women had greater mortality rate (20.8% vs. 5.2%: OR 4.78, 95% CI, 2.15–10.60, P<0.001), mainly from cardiogenic shock (P=0.003). Combination of malnutrition and frailty significantly decreased cumulative one-year survival in women (46.7% vs. 73.3% in men, P<0.001) Conclusion Among STEMI patients undergoing PA, the prevalence of malnutrition and frailty are significantly higher in women than in men. NRI and frailty had an independent and complementary prognostic impact in women with STEMI. Kaplan-Meier and Cox survival curves Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None

Abstract Introduction A relevant proportion of patients experiencing ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has a late presentation after symptoms onset. Temporal trends deriving from a large real-word scenario for this subgroup of patients are lacking. Purpose The aim of the present study was to provide a comprehensive analysis of temporal trends in latecomer STEMI patients, with particular regard to implementation of evidence-based treatments in this population and major in-hospital outcomes. Methods All STEMI patients included in the AMIS Plus Registry from January 1997 to December 2017 were included and patient-related delay was assessed: 27 231 patients were available for the final analysis. STEMI patients were classified as early or latecomers according to patient-related delay (≤ or >12 hours, respectively). Results 22 928 patients were earlycomers (84%) and 4303 patients were classified as latecomers (16%). Across the study period we observed a significant decrease in prevalence of late presentation from 22% to 12.3% (p<0.001, Figure 1). In latecomer STEMI patients there was a gradual uptake of evidence-based pharmacological treatments with an increase in discharge prescription of P2Y12 inhibitors from 6% to 90.7% (p<0.001). Similarly, a marked increase in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) rate was observed (12.1–86.6%; p<0.001). Across this 20-year period, in-hospital mortality was reduced to a third (to an absolute rate of 4.5%, p<0.001) and a significant reduction in prevalence of both cardiogenic shock (14.6–4.3%) and re-infarction (5.4–0.2%) during the index hospitalisation was observed (p<0.001 for both variables). Length of hospitalisation in acute care facilities significantly decreased from 10 (6,14) days to 4 (1,7) days (p<0.001). At multivariate analysis, PCI had a strong independent protective effect toward in-hospital mortality (odds ratio 0.3, 95% confidence interval 0.187 to 0.480). Figure 1 Conclusion The present study provides a comprehensive picture of temporal trends in late presentation in STEMI over the last 20 years in Switzerland. During the study period in latecomer STEMI population there was a gradual uptake of evidence-based pharmacological treatments and a marked increase in PCI rate. In-hospital mortality was reduced to a third (to an absolute rate of 4.5%) and this reduction seems to be mainly associated with the increasing implementation of PCI.
