Abstract Background/objectives Pericoronary adipose tissue inflammation might lead to the development and destabilization of coronary plaques in prediabetic patients. Here, we evaluated inflammation and leptin to adiponectin ratio in pericoronary fat from patients subjected to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Furthermore, we compared the 12-month prognosis of prediabetic patients compared to normoglycemic patients (NG). Finally, the effect of metformin therapy on pericoronary fat inflammation and 12-months prognosis in AMI-prediabetic patients was also evaluated. Methods An observational prospective study was conducted on patients with first AMI referred for CABG. Participants were divided in prediabetic and NG-patients. Prediabetic patients were divided in two groups; never-metformin-users and current-metformin-users receiving metformin therapy for almost 6 months before CABG. During the by-pass procedure on epicardial coronary portion, the pericoronary fat was removed from the surrounding stenosis area. The primary endpoints were the assessments of Major-Adverse-Cardiac-Events (MACE) at 12-month follow-up. Moreover, inflammatory tone was evaluated by measuring pericoronary fat levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), sirtuin 6 (SIRT6), and leptin to adiponectin ratio. Finally, inflammatory tone was correlated to the MACE during the 12-months follow-up. Results The MACE was 9.1% in all prediabetic patients and 3% in NG-patients. In prediabetic patients, current-metformin-users presented a significantly lower rate of MACE compared to prediabetic patients never-metformin-users. In addition, prediabetic patients showed higher inflammatory tone and leptin to adiponectin ratio in pericoronary fat compared to NG-patients (P < 0.001). Prediabetic never-metformin-users showed higher inflammatory tone and leptin to adiponectin ratio in pericoronary fat compared to current-metformin-users (P < 0.001). Remarkably, inflammatory tone and leptin to adiponectin ratio was significantly related to the MACE during the 12-months follow-up. Conclusion Prediabetes increase inflammatory burden in pericoronary adipose tissue. Metformin by reducing inflammatory tone and leptin to adiponectin ratio in pericoronary fat may improve prognosis in prediabetic patients with AMI.

Telomere length (TL) is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is also linked to higher risk of CVD and cancer, and to TL. We investigated the association between TL and risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) and cancer in OSA patients. We studied 210 individuals undergoing sleep-related studies between 2000 and 2007. Baseline characteristics and follow-up data (available in 164 subjects) were obtained from clinic records. Incidence rates were calculated for the entire group and by OSA status. Hazard ratios were calculated to estimate effects of OSA and TL on risk of MACE and cancer. In total, 32 individuals (20%) developed MACE and/or cancer during 12.7-year follow-up. The OSA group had a higher likelihood of cancer (16.0 vs. 4.9 events per 1000 person-years, P = 0.044) but no clear evidence of an elevated incidence of MACE (10.8 vs. 4.8 events per 1000 person-years, P = 0.293) compared to the non-OSA group. There was no association between TL and MACE- (HR = 1.01, 95% CI 0.78–1.28), or cancer-risk (HR = 1.18, 95% CI 0.96–1.43). Our study warrants further investigation of any modulating effect of OSA on TL and the risk of MACE and cancer.

Abstract Background Multimorbidity, the presence of ≥ 2 long-term conditions (LTCs) is common in people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, most research in RA has focused on cardiovascular disease and depression as co-occurring morbidities, rather than multiple LTCs or a wide range of conditions. This study hypothesised that risk of all-cause mortality and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) would be greater in those with RA and ≥2 LTCs than those with RA only. Further, we explored which individual LTCs were associated with increased risk of mortality and MACE. Methods Data from UK Biobank, a cohort of over 500,000 adults aged 37-73 years across England, Scotland and Wales was analysed. RA and 42 other LTCs of interest were self-reported by participants in a questionnaire and nurse-led interview. Information on sociodemographic (age, gender, socioeconomic status) and lifestyle factors (smoking status, BMI, alcohol frequency, physical activity) were also gathered. Rheumatoid factor levels were also determined. MACE and mortality were classified using linked hospitalisations and mortality register data (median follow up time 9 years). Data were analysed using age-adjusted Cox’s proportional hazard modelling to calculate risk of all-cause mortality or MACE, adjusted for variables listed above. Predictor variable: no RA no LTCs (reference group), only RA, RA + 1-3LTCs, RA + ≥4LTCs. Finally, the relationship between comorbidity with individual LTCs (of the 42 studied) and both health outcomes was considered. Results 5,658 (1.1%) of participants in UK Biobank self-reported RA (69.8% female, mean age 59 years). 74.7% of participants reported at least one LTC in addition to RA (1-3 LTCs 64.3%, ≥4 LTCs 10.4%), compared to 63.8% of participants without RA. 7.7% (N = 437) of participants with RA died and 5.9% (n = 331) had MACE events during the follow-up period. There was a dose response relationship in RA between LTC category and all-cause mortality and MACE risk. Only RA: mortality HR 1.42, 95% CI 1.08, 1.87, MACE HR 1.61 95% CI 1.20, 2.18; RA + 1-3LTCs: mortality HR 1.99 95% CI 1.74, 2.27, MACE HR 1.89, 95% CI 1.61, 2.20; RA + ≥4LTCs: mortality HR 3.34, 95% CI 2.64, 4.22; MACE HR 3.45, 95% CI 2.66, 4.49) compared to those with no RA no LTCs (results presented from fully adjusted models). Of the 42 individual LTCs considered, comorbid osteoporosis was the most concerning; participants with both RA and osteoporosis had a two-fold increased risk of all-cause mortality (HR 2.20, 95% CI 1.55, 3.12) and three-fold increased risk of MACE outcomes (HR 3.17, 95% CI 2.17, 4.64) compared to those with neither condition. Conclusion Participants with RA and multimorbidity or comorbidity, particularly osteoporosis, are at increased risk of adverse health outcomes. These results have important clinical relevance for the monitoring and optimal management of RA across the healthcare system. Disclosures B. Nicholl None. R. McQueenie None. B. Jani None. S.

Introduction. Platelet-derived microparticles (PDMPs) measurement adds prognostic implication for ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI). The long-term implication of PDMPs in STEMI needs to be corroborated. Methods. The research design was a cohort study. Subjects were STEMI patients and were enrolled consecutively. The PDMPs were defined as microparticles bearing CD41(+) and CD62P(+) markers detected with flow cytometry. The PDMPs were measured on hospital admission and 30 days after discharge. The outcomes were major adverse cardiac events (MACE), i.e., a composite of cardiac death, heart failure, cardiogenic shock, reinfarction, and resuscitated ventricular arrhythmia, occurring from hospitalization until 1 year after discharge. Results. We enrolled 101 subjects with STEMI. During hospitalization, 17 subjects (16.8%) developed MACE. The PDMPs were not different between subjects with MACE and those without (median (IQR): 3305.0/μL (2370.0–14690.5/μL) vs. 4452.0/μL (2024.3–14396.8/μL), p=0.874). Forty-five subjects had increased PDMPs in 30 days after discharge as compared with on-admission measurement. Subjects with increased PDMPs had significantly higher 30-day MACE as compared to subjects with decreased PDMPs 17 (37.8%) vs. 6 (16.7%, p=0.036). There was a trend toward higher MACE in subjects with increased PDMPs as compared to those with decreased PDMPs in 90 days after discharge (48.9% vs. 30.6%, p=0.095) and 1 year after discharge (48.9% vs. 36.1%, p=0.249). Conclusion. The PDMPs level was increased from the day of admission to 30 days after discharge in patients with STEMI. The persistent increase in the PDMPs level in 30 days after the STEMI event was associated with the 30-day postdischarge MACE and trended toward increased MACE during the 90-day and 1-year follow-up.

Background: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is considered as a risk factor for development of cardiovascular disease. However, it is unclear whether CKD has association with prognosis following the drug eluting stent implantation. Methods and Results : The Cypher coronary stents were implanted to 302 lesions in 249 patients who underwent elective PCI between January 2005 and April 2006. Average age was 66.3 ± 9.7 and male gender was 80.3%. Diabetes was found in 47% of the patients including 16% of insulin treatment. Stages of CKD are shown in the table 1 and 2 . AHA/ACC lesion type B2/C was 62%. Cypher stents were implanted at maximum pressure at 17.3 ± 3.0 atm. Intravascular ultrasound was used in 92% of the procedure. Clinical follow-up data were available in 89.9 % at 1 year although angiographic follow-up was performed in 73.1% at 8 months. Major adverse cardiac events were frequently observed in association with stages of CKD as shown in the table 1 . Stages of CKD have correlation with late lumen loss at 8 months (Table 2 ). Furthermore, in-stent late lumen loss inversely correlated with glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (R = −0.18, p = 0.0097). Conclusion : Stages of CKD have correlation with major adverse cardiac events as well as late lumen loss following the sirolimus eluting stent implantation. Clinical follow-up at 1 year of study stratified by stages of CKD Angiographic data of study stratified by stages of CKD

Patient with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) has considerable variability in outcome and mortality risk. The Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) risk index (TRI) for unstable angina/non ST elevation myocardial infarction & ST elevation myocardial infarction were a convenient bedside clinical risk score for predicting 30 days mortality at presentation with ACS. This study was done to predict and validate major adverse cardiac events in patients of ACS thus it will help us to quantify risk, observe the prognostic value and to guide appropriate therapy by using TRI. This prospective study was carried out in the department of cardiology, BSMMU, Dhaka from April, 2011 to March, 2012. After considering all ethical issues, data were collected from 279 patients attending at cardiac emergency department with the presentation of ACS. History & physical examinations were done. TIMI risk index were calculated for each patient. The major adverse cardiac events (recurrent myocardial infarction, urgent revascularization, and all-cause mortality) were measured for next 30 days in hospital setting & outpatient department by follow up. After follow-up, Cox univariate and multivariate regression analysis were used to evaluate the influence of potential risk factors on duration of event-free survival, and likelihood ratio tests to assess the outcome. Major adverse events of TIMI risk index group 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 were 0%, 0%, 3.7%, 12.9% & 19.2% respectively in UA/NSTEMI group. In STEMI group major adverse cardiac events of TIMI risk index group 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 were 0%, 4.7%, 12.5%, 17.1% & 24.1% respectively. Increasing TRI were associated with increased risk of major adverse cardiac events. These score were a valid tool for risk assessment. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jdnmch.v18i2.16024 J.
