ARTERIAL STIFFNESS AND VASCULAR CALCIFICATION PREDICTS ADVERSE CARDIOVASCULAR EVENTS IN SUBJECTS WITH CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE AFTER PERCUTANEOUS CORONARY INTERVENTION

Objective: The purpose of this investigation aimed to clarify the impact of peripheral artery disease (PAD) on the prognosis value of patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: The SPSS 16 software was used for secondary analysis of DRYAD database data. A total of 204 patients were enrolled from Shinonoi General Hospital for newly diagnosed stable CAD and received PCI performance between October 2014 and October 2017. Patients with old myocardial infarction (MI) were excluded. We divided patients into two groups with PAD and without PAD. The primary endpoints were major adverse cardiac events (MACE, defined as all-cause death, non-fatal MI, and non-fatal stroke) and cardiovascular events (defined as cardiovascular death, non-fatal MI, and non-fatal stroke). The secondary outcomes were the individual components of the composite primary outcomes. The median follow-up time was 783 days. Results: No statistical difference was found between PAD and non-PAD patients of lesional characteristics. Spearman’s rank correlations indicate diabetes mellitus (DM) (P = 0.019) and HbA1c (P = 0.009) are positively correlated with PAD. In Kaplan-Meier analysis, patients with PAD predicted poor prognosis in MACE (P < 0.05) and cardiovascular events (P < 0.05). In Multivariable Cox proportional hazards analysis, patients with PAD independently predicted MACE and cardiovascular events. Conclusions: PAD is a significant mediator for the prognosis of patients with stable CAD who underwent PCI treatment.

Aim. To identify predictors of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Material and methods. This prospective single-center study included 225 patients with stable CAD requiring drug-eluting stent implantation. The average follow-up period for patients was 14,5 (6;23) months. Levels of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), insulin, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10), endothelin-1 (ET-1) and the serum lipid profile were evaluated. Insulin resistance was assessed by the HOMA-IR index. The patients were divided into 2 groups: group 1 (n=98) — patients with MACE, group 2 (n=127) — patients without MACE over the follow-up period.Results. During the follow-up period, MACE were recorded in 43,5% of patients, of which: fatal outcome in 3 (3,1%) patients, acute coronary syndrome (ACS) — 14 (14,3%), decompensated heart failure (HF) — 8 (8,2%), non-fatal myocardial infarc tion (MI) — 4 (4,1%), stroke — 3 (3,1%), in-stent restenosis — 18 (18,4%), target vessel revascularization due to progression of atherosclerosis — 25 (25,4%), lifethreatening arrhythmias — 18 (18,4%), implantation of a cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator — 5 (5%). To determine critical levels for quantitative predictors, ROC curves were created with threshold values that increase the likelihood of MACE.Conclusion. As a result of the study, we found that the waist-to-hip ratio >1,0495, the HOMA-IR index >3,13 and the endothelin-1 >0,75 mmol/L are independent predictors of unfavorable prognosis in patients with CAD after PCI.
