Background The clinical benefit of anti-platelet agents in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is uncertain. In addition, the risk–benefit ratio of potent oral P2Y12-adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor antagonists (PPAs), namely, prasugrel and ticagrelor, compared with clopidogrel in CKD patients suffering from acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains unknown. Objective We performed a meta-analysis of all studies comparing the clinical outcomes of PPA and clopidogrel therapy in CKD patients suffering from ACS. Methods We searched PubMed, the Cochrane library, Google Scholar, Clinical trial.org and the abstracts of international cardiology congresses from April 2000 to October 2017. Clinical studies comparing PPA with clopidogrel in ACS patients with CKD were selected. Our literature research identified five studies which were included in the meta-analysis. The primary endpoint was a composite of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) at the latest follow-up available. Secondary endpoint included bleedings. Results We included data from three sub-group analysis of randomized clinical trials and two prospective observational studies (n = 31,234). Overall, PPAs were associated with lower rates of major cardiovascular events, with a pooled hazard ratio (pHR) of 0.88 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.79–0.99; p = 0.03), without increased bleedings (pHR = 1.10) (95% CI: 0.95–1.27; p = 0.18). In a sensitivity analysis restricted to studies enrolling invasively managed patients, the benefit of PPA on MACE was maintained (pHR = 0.85) (95% CI: 0.77–0.93; p < 0.001), including a reduction in mortality (pHR = 0.82) (95% CI: 0.7–0.96; p = 0.016). Conclusion Compared with clopidogrel, PPAs were associated with a reduced rate of MACE without increased bleedings in CKD patients with ACS. Among invasively managed patients, this benefit from PPA included a reduction in mortality.

Aim: to assess relation ofhigh functional activity ofplatelets to prognosis ofunfavorable cardiovascular events in patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS).Materials. The study was based on the data of a single center ACS registry conducted in the Central Clinical Hospital of the Presidential Affairs Department of Russian Federation. Of 529 included patients in 425 without contraindications to double antiplatelet therapy we carried out analysis of dependence of 30 days level of unfavorable events on parameters of functional activity of platelets.Results. High on-treatment platelet reactivity (HTPR) was found to be associated with 3.5 increase of mortality in the group of patients with high cardiovascular risk. Logistic model of prognosis of unfavorable events based on multifactorial analysis of data from patients with measured platelet aggregation included chronic kidney disease, type of myocardial infarction, and degree ofplatelet aggregation >45%. C -statistic was equal to 0.77. We also present in this paper discussion of problems related to studying approaches to individualization of anti-aggregation therapy in real clinical practice and problems of organization ofsimilar studies.Conclusion. The study showed that patients with ACS increased platelet aggregation, as well as chronic kidney disease and type 2 MI are associated with a 30 day prognosis of adverse events.

Digoxin is commonly prescribed for heart failure and atrial fibrillation, but there is limited data on its safety in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We conducted a population-based cohort study using the pre-end stage renal disease (ESRD) care program registry and the National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan. Of advanced CKD patient cohort (N = 31,933), we identified the digoxin user group (N = 400) matched with age and sex non-user group (N = 2,220). Multivariable Cox proportional hazards and sub-distribution hazards models were used to evaluate the association between digoxin use and the risk of death, cardiovascular events (acute coronary syndrome, ischemic stroke, or hemorrhagic stroke) and renal outcomes (ESRD, rapid decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate—eGFR, or acute kidney injury). Results showed that all-cause mortality was higher in the digoxin user group than in the non-user group, after adjusting for covariates (adjusted hazard ratio, aHR 1.63; 95% CI 1.23–2.17). The risk for acute coronary syndrome (sub-distribution hazard ratio, sHR 1.18; 95% CI 0.75–1.86), ischemic stroke (sHR 1.42; 95% CI 0.85–2.37), and rapid eGFR decline (sHR 1.00 95% CI 0.78–1.27) was not significantly different between two groups. In conclusion, our study demonstrated that digoxin use was associated with increased mortality, but not cardiovascular events or renal function decline in advanced CKD patients. This finding warns the safety of prescribing digoxin in this population. Future prospective studies are needed to overcome the limitations of cohort study design.

Background: Despite of considerable advances in its diagnosis and management, heart failure remains an unsettled problem and life threatening. Heart failure with a growing prevalence represents a burden to healthcare system, responsible for deterioration of patient’s daily activities. Galectin-3 is a new cardiac biomarker in prognosis for heart failure. Serum galectin-3 has some relation to heart failure NYHA classification, acute coronary syndrome and clinical outcome. Level of serum galectin-3 give information for prognosis and help risk stratifications in patient with heart failure, so intensive therapeutics can be approached to patients with high risk. Objective: To examine plasma galectin-3 level in hospitalized heart failure patients, investigate the relationship between galectin-3 level with associated diseases, clinical conditions and disease progression in hospital. Methodology: Cross sectional study. Result: 20 patients with severe heart failure as NYHA classification were diagnosed by The ESC Guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic heart failure (2012) and performed blood test for serum galectin-3 level. Increasing of serum galectin-3 level have seen in all patients, mean value is 36.5 (13.7 – 74.0), especially high level in patient with acute coronary syndrome and patients with severe chronic kidney disease. There are five patients dead. Conclusion: Serum galectin-3 level increase in patients with heart failure and has some relation to NYHA classification, acute coronary syndrome. However, level of serum galectin-3 can be affected by severe chronic kidney disease, more research is needed on this aspect Key words: Serum galectin-3, heart failure, ESC Guidelines, NYHA
