Background: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is increasingly prevalent among young patients, particularly in South Asia, where young patients are known to present with multiple risk factors and gender-based differences in angiographic profiles. This study aimed to compare gender differences in clinical, angiographic and procedural profiles between young patients with ACS undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods: This prospective observational study was done at the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (NICVD) from April 2016 to March 2017. 190 young patients with ACS undergoing PCI were included. Clinical, angiographic and procedural variables were compared and statistically analyzed.Results: The mean age of young females and males was 43.8±6.9 years and 40.1±4.3 years respectively (p<<0.001). Young women had significantly more risk factors of hypertension (62.1% vs 33.7%, p<0.001) and diabetes (57.9% vs 31.6%, p<0.001) in comparison to young men. Smoking was significantly greater among young males (70.5% vs 0%, p<0.001). Young females had significantly better mean ejection fraction (EF) (48.4±9.3% vs 45.1±10.4%, p=0. 02). Left main coronary artery (3.2% vs. 1.1%, p=0.61) and left anterior descending artery (51.6% vs. 45.3%, p=0.38) were more frequently involved among young females. Young males showed angiographically more severe CAD and greater frequency of multivessel CAD with higher DVD (22.1%vs 18.9%, p=0.58) and TVD (18.9%vs 11.6%, p=0.15).Conclusion: Significantly more young women with ACS presented with hypertension and diabetes than young males. However, they had better ejection fraction and less severe angiographic profiles.Cardiovasc. j. 2018; 10(2): 113-120

Background The incidences of premature coronary heart disease present a rising trend worldwide. The possible risk factors that may predict the incidence of repeat percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in premature acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains unclear. Methods A total of 203 patients ≤45 years with ACS from Chinese PLA General Hospital who have undergone angiography twice were included in this report. Data were collected from medical records of patients during hospitalization. Baseline characteristics which have significant differences in the univariate analysis were enrolled into the multiple logistic regression analysis. According to the odds ratio (OR) of these variables, different values were assigned to build a risk model to predict the possible risk of the premature ACS patients undergoing repeat PCI. Results Of the 203 young patients, 88 patients (43.3%) underwent repeat PCI. The intermit time (OR 1.002, (95% CI [1.001–1.002])), diastolic blood pressure of second procedure (OR 0.967, (95% CI [0.938–0.996])), stent diameter (OR 0.352, (95% CI [0.148–0.840])), HbA1C of the first procedure (OR 1.835, (95% CI [1.358–2.479])), and Troponin T of the second procedure (OR 1.24, (95% CI [0.981–1.489])) were significantly associated with the incidence of repeat PCI in patients with premature ACS. An aggregate score between 0 and 6 was calculated based on these cutpoints. Conclusion For young patients with premature ACS, risk of undergoing repeat PCI was high. HbA1C was a significant, independent predictor for the incidence of repeat revascularization, and weighed more than traditional lipid profile. The glucose metabolism and disorders in patients with premature ACS should be routinely screened.

Abstract Introduction Multi-vessel coronary artery disease (MVD) is common among patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and is associated with worse outcomes compared with single-vessel disease. Multiple studies focused particularly on patients with ACS and MVD and their results were incorporated into guidelines' recommendations. Objectives To examine temporal trends in clinical characteristics, treatment and outcomes of patients presenting with ACS and MVD. Methods Time- dependent analysis of patients enrolled in the biennial ACS Israeli Surveys (ACSIS) between 2000 and 2016 according to three time periods: early (2004–2006; n=2,111), mid (2008–2010; n=2,049), and late (2013–2016; n=2,010). MVD was defined as >50% stenosis in ≥2 separate major coronary territories at the index ACS. Clinical outcomes were 30-day MACE (death, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, stroke, stent thrombosis, urgent revascularization) and 30-days and 1-year mortality. Results Overall 6,170/15,000 patients (41.1%) had MVD (age 64.5±12.1, males 80%). Patients admitted in the later periods were older with a higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and their treatment (i.e. statins, and hypoglycemic drugs) prior to admission. The rate of CABG has decreased and of MV percutaneous coronary intervention and guideline recommended medical treatment has increased with time. At 30 days, the rates of mortality, MACE and re-infarction have decreased (Figure). A trend of reduction in 1-year mortality was observed with time, yet it did not reach statistical significance (early=9.3%, mid=7.8%, late=7.7%, P=0.13). A multivariate adjusted analysis demonstrated that the mid and late periods were associated with significantly reduced risk for 30-day MACE (OR=0.65 [0.54–0.77] and 0.54 [0.45–0.65], respectively). Figure 1. Temporal trends in 30-day outcomes of patients with ACS and MVD Conclusions During the last decade, the burden of cardiovascular risk factors among ACS patients with MVD has increased, more extensive invasive and medical treatments were provided and significant improvements in 30-day outcomes were observed.
