AbstractClinical outcomes are unknown after ticagrelor treatment in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who are diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). ESRD patients who were on hemodialysis and received dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) for AMI between July 2013 and December 2016 were identified in Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database. Using stabilized inverse probability of treatment weighting, patients receiving aspirin plus ticagrelor (n = 530) were compared with those receiving aspirin plus clopidogrel (n = 2462) for the primary efficacy endpoint, a composite of all-cause death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, or nonfatal stroke, and bleeding, defined according to the Bleeding Academic Research Consortium. Study outcomes were compared between the two groups using Cox proportional hazards model or competing risk model for the hazard ratio or subdistribution hazard ratio (SHR). During 9 months of follow-up, ticagrelor was comparable to clopidogrel with respect to the risks of primary efficacy endpoint [11.69 vs. 9.28/100 patient-months; SHR, 1.16; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.97–1.4] and bleeding (5.55 vs. 4.36/100 patient-months; SHR 1.14; 95% CI 0.88–1.47). In conclusion, among hemodialysis patients receiving DAPT for AMI, ticagrelor was comparable to clopidogrel with regard to the composite efficacy endpoint and bleeding.

Objective: To compare in-hospital mortality of acute myocardial Infarction in patients having normal renal functions with renal dysfunction patients. Setting: Emergency ward, Coronary care units and cardiology wards of the Punjab Institute of Cardiology Lahore. Study design: It was a comparative study. Sample size: 1000 consecutive patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction admitted to the Punjab Institute of cardiology Lahore were studied from 1st March 2004 to 15th August 2004. Results: After fulfilling the inclusion criteria 1000 patients were studied. The mean age of the study population was 60.8+9.38 years. Total number of males in the study population was 642(64.2%) while female patients were 358(35.8%). Patients with any degree of renal dysfunction, except those with end-stage renal disease were more likely to present with anterior MI than were patients without renal dysfunction. Patients with end-stage renal disease and more severe renal dysfunction were more likely to develop heart failure during hospitalization, to experience atrial fibrillation, and to have mechanical complications. Streptokinase therapy was used less frequently in patients with any degree of renal dysfunction than in patients without renal dysfunction, despite a similar incidence of MI. In-hospital mortality was 51(12%) in Group I patients, 46(16.6%) in Group II patients, 36(22%) in Group III patients, 35(27.7%) in Group IV patients and 5(35.7%) in Group V patients with a p value of <0.0001. Severe renal insufficiency had the maximum in-hospital mortality with OR of 5.4 and 95% confidence interval of 2.9-10.3 followed by end stage renal disease OR 5.1 (CI 2.2-12.1), moderate renal insufficiency OR 4.1 (CI 2.3-7.2) and mild renal insufficiency OR 1.9(CI 1.1-3.1) with a p value of <0.0001. Similarly congestive heart failure during hospital stay was observed in 20(4.7%) patients in Group I, 17(6.1%) patients in Group II, 15(9.4%) patients in Group III, 16(12.6%) patients in Group IV and 4(28.6%) patients in Group V. Similar trends were observed in mechanical complications and post myocardial arrhythmias in the study population, Conclusion: Patients with renal dysfunction who have acute MI are a high-risk population and suffer from increased mortality once they are admitted to the hospital. This is because of presence of more risk factors in this sub set of patients.

Introduction: Circulating blood troponin complexes and free fractions remain poorly characterised in different conditions where troponin is detectable in blood Hypothesis: The aim of the study was to compare the differences in troponin-I(TnI) complexes/free-forms in end stage renal disease (ESRD) compared to acute myocardial infarction(AMI) Methods: Blood was collected from patients with AMI(n=7) or ESRD(n=4) at two time points (a)As early as possible after AMI or at initial contact with ESRD patients and (b)24-48 hours later. Western blotting was carried out with HyTest cTnI-560cc antibody on plasma extracted from whole blood. Densitometry analysis was performed and evaluated using the independent samples T-test and paired T-test as appropriate Results: Prominent bands were noted at ~45,~37 and ~25 kDa respectively representing low molecular weight(LMW) TnI-TnT-TnC complex, binary TnI-TnC complex and free-TnI. At time-point (a), there was no difference in these bands between STEMI and CKD patients. Interestingly, at time-point (b), AMI patients had significantly lower intensity of the 45kDa and 37kDa bands compared to CKD patients(for 45 kDa band mean difference was 54.3±19.4 AU, p=0.02; for 37 kDa band mean difference was 27.7±10.5 AU, p=0.03) as well as compared to the initial STEMI samples taken at time-point (a)(for 45 kDa band mean difference was 41.4±8.1 AU, p=0.002; for 37 kDa band mean difference was 16.7±6.3 AU, p=0.002) ,however there was no difference in the 25kDa band Conclusions: AMI patients had progressively lesser quantities of circulating LMW-ITC and binary IC complexes following AMI compared to ESRD patients, but similar quantities of circulating free TnI. This indicates a constant release of LMW-ITC and binary-IC complexes from the myocardium or reduced glomerular filtration of these complexes in ESRD while in the AMI patients, the LMW-ITC and binary I-C complexes appear to be progressively eliminated from plasma after the initial release

ObjectiveWe examined the effects of age, gender, and ethnicity on the risk of acute myocardial infarction, stroke, and end-stage renal disease according to type 2 diabetes mellitus status among adults aged 40–79 in Singapore.MethodsA Bayesian inference framework was used to derive age-specific, gender-specific and ethnicity-specific prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus from the 2010 Singapore National Health Survey, and age-standardized gender and ethnicity-specific incidence rates of acute myocardial infarction, stroke and end-stage renal disease from the National Registry of Diseases Office. Population forecasts were used in tandem with incidence rates to project the future chronic disease burden until 2050.ResultsThe highest relative risk of acute myocardial infarction was observed in the youngest age group (aged 40–44), with higher relative risk for women (men: 4.3 (2.7–6.4); women: 16.9 (9.3–28.3)). A similar trend was observed for stroke (men: 6.5 (4.2–9.7); women: 10.7 (6.0–17.4)). For end-stage renal disease, the highest relative risk was for men aged 45–50 (11.8 (8.0–16.9)) and women aged 55–60 (16.4 (10.7–24.0)). The annual incidence of acute myocardial infarction is projected to rise from 9300 (in 2019) to 16 400 (in 2050), the number of strokes from 7300 to 12 800, and the number of end-stage renal disease cases from 1700 to 2700.ConclusionsType 2 diabetes mellitus was associated with an increased risk of complications and is modulated by age and gender. Prevention and early detection of type 2 diabetes mellitus can reduce the increasing burden of secondary complications.
