BACKGROUND: Anemia has been shown to be an independent risk factor for adverse cardiac outcome in various populations. This study evaluated the predictive value of anemia in patients scheduled for elective vascular surgery. METHODS: In total, 1211 patients (76% male, age 68 ± 11 yrs) were enrolled. Anemia was defined as serum hemoglobin < 13 g/dL for men and < 12 g/dL for women, as defined by WHO. Anemia was divided into tertiles to compare mild, moderate and severe anemia with non-anemic patients. Outcome measures were 30-day and 5-year cardiac events (CE) (cardiac death or myocardial infarction). Mean follow up was 3.4 ± 3.2 years. Multivariable linear and Cox regression analysis was used, adjusting for age, sex, type of surgery and baseline characteristics, including angina, myocardial infarction, heart failure, diabetes and renal failure. Data are presented as HRs, with 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS: In total, 74 (6%) patients experienced a 30-day CE and 199 (16%) a 5-year CE. Anemia was present in 399 (33%) patients, of which 133 were mild, 133 moderate, and 133 severe anemia. The presence of anemia was associated with renal failure, diabetes and heart failure. CE free survival at 30 days and 5 years was worse for patients with anemia (Figure ). After adjustment for all clinical risk factors, the 30-day HRs for a CE per anemia group were; mild 1.8, 1.0 – 4.1, moderate 2.9, 1.4 – 6.2, and severe 7.6, 4.1–13.1, and 5-year HRs for CE per anemia group were; mild 2.2, 1.3–3.8, moderate 3.6, 2.4 –5.6, and severe 6.6, 4.6 –9.6. CONCLUSION: The presence and severity of preoperative anemia are significant predictors of 30-day and 5-year cardiac events in patients undergoing elective vascular surgery.

Purpose: Myocardial infarction is a common cardiovascular disease. MicroRNA-16-5p (miR-16-5p) was upregulated in heart and kidney hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury. However, the role of miR-16-5p in myocardial infarction injury is still unclear. Methods: Human adult ventricular cardiomyocytes (AC16) were treated with ischemia/reperfusion (H/R). The miR-16-5p level was evaluated through real-time PCR. The activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) was detected via LDH and CK-MB monitoring kits. Cell viability was examined with 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5diphenyltetra-zolium bromide (MTT) assay. Western blotting was used to analyze the protein levels. The luci-ferase report assay confirmed the relative luciferase activity. Results: miR-16-5p was elevated in H/R-treated AC16 cells. miR-16-5p overexpression and knockdown were carried out. miR-16-5p knockdown repressed cell apoptosis, attenuated LDH and CK-MB activities, and enhanced cell viability in H/R-treated AC16 cells. Moreover, miR-16-5p knockdown promoted angiogenesis in human microvascular endothelial cells (HMVEC), causing elevation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), insulin receptor substrates 1 (IRS1), minichromosome maintenance complex component 2 (MCM2) and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) protein levels. Moreover, miR-16-5p was testified to target IRS1. IRS1 silencing alleviated miR-16-5p knockdown-mediated inhibition of apoptosis in AC16 cells. Conclusion: miR-16-5p knockdown increased cell viability and angiogenesis, as well as inhibited cell apoptosis by increasing IRS1. These findings indicated that miR-16-5p knockdown may be a new therapeutic target for myocardial infarction.

The significant reduction in ‘ischemic time’ through capillary diffusion of primary percutaneous intervention (pPCI) has rendered myocardial-ischemia reperfusion injury (MIRI) prevention a major issue in order to improve the prognosis of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. In fact, while the ischemic damage increases with the severity and the duration of blood flow reduction, reperfusion injury reaches its maximum with a moderate amount of ischemic injury. MIRI leads to the development of post-STEMI left ventricular remodeling (post-STEMI LVR), thereby increasing the risk of arrhythmias and heart failure. Single pharmacological and mechanical interventions have shown some benefits, but have not satisfactorily reduced mortality. Therefore, a multitarget therapeutic strategy is needed, but no univocal indications have come from the clinical trials performed so far. On the basis of the results of the consistent clinical studies analyzed in this review, we try to design a randomized clinical trial aimed at evaluating the effects of a reasoned multitarget therapeutic strategy on the prevention of post-STEMI LVR. In fact, we believe that the correct timing of pharmacological and mechanical intervention application, according to their specific ability to interfere with survival pathways, may significantly reduce the incidence of post-STEMI LVR and thus improve patient prognosis.
