AbstractCoffee is one of the most widely consumed beverages around the world. Several studies have observed an inverse association between coffee consumption and all-cause mortality in population-based studies. Nevertheless, little is known about these associations in patient populations with a prior Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). To examine the association between coffee consumption and the risk of mortality in patients with a prior acute myocardial infarction (MI) or unstable angina. Data were from the longitudinal prospective study “Strategy of Registry of Acute Coronary Syndrome Cohort - ERICO”. The cohort involved 1,085 patients diagnosed with ACS, between 2009 to 2013. For this analysis we used data after 180 days until 4 years’ follow-up, totalizing 928 participants. The coffee consumption was obtained using a questionnaire multiplying the reported frequency by the reported portion size. Subsequently was calculated the average of coffee intake (mL/day) and categorized (cups/day) into ≤ 1, 1–3, and > 3. Information on mortality was ascertained by medical registries and death certificates. Cox regression models to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) for mortality according to coffee consumption adjusted for potential confounders were performed. Kaplan-Meier survival curves with the log-rank test were analyzed. Most patients (99.0%) drank coffee, and the median total coffee intake was 125 mL/day. During a median follow-up of 4 years, a total of 111 deaths occurred, including 59 CVD-related and 24 MI-related deaths. Moderate coffee consumption was inversely associated with all-cause mortality. Participants who consumed 1–3 cups of coffee/day, showed an 81% lower risk of all-cause mortality than those who consumed ≤ 1 cup/day (adjusted HR 0.19; 95%CI: 0.11, 0.34). For patients with higher coffee consumption (> 3 cups/day), there was a positive association with mortality, with HR of 2.10 (95%CI: 1.05, 4.22). Corresponding HRs were 0.22 (95%CI: 0.11, 0.48) for 1–3 cups/day and 2.66 (95%CI: 1.04, 6.83) for > 3 cups/day for CVD mortality; and 0.23 (95%CI: 0.07, 0.71) and 1.59 (95%CI: 0.25, 10.0) for MI mortality, respectively. After stratification by smoking status the analysis revealed lower risk of all-cause mortality in never and former smokers drinking 1–3 cups/day (HRs 0.10; 95%CI: 0.04, 0.24 and 0.18; 0.08, 0.42, respectively). Among current smokers there was a positive association between > 3 cups/day and mortality (HR 8.50; 95%CI: 1.18, 16.35). The moderate consumption of coffee, impacted in a lower risk of all-cause, CVD and MI mortality in patients with a prior Acute Coronary Syndrome, particularly in nonsmokers.

AbstractPrevious studies have shown that ticagrelor reduced risk of pneumonia in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) compared to clopidogrel, however, its effect in patients with non-ACS cardiovascular diseases remains uncertain. The aim was to investigate the effect of ticagrelor on pneumonia and pneumonia-specific death compared to clopidogrel in non-ACS patients in Hong Kong. This was a population-based cohort study. We included consecutive patients using ticagrelor or clopidogrel admitted for non-ACS conditions in Hong Kong public hospitals from March 2012 to September 2019. Patients using both drugs were excluded. The outcomes of interest were incident pneumonia, all-cause death, and pneumonia-specific death. Multivariable survival analysis models were used to estimate the effects [hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI)]. Propensity score matching, adjustment and weighting were performed as sensitivity analyses. In total, 90,154 patients were included (mean age 70.66 years, males 61.7%). The majority of them (97.2%) used clopidogrel. Ticagrelor was associated with a lower risk of incident pneumonia [0.59 (0.46–0.75)], all-cause death [0.83 (0.73–0.93)] and pneumonia-specific death [0.49 (0.36–0.67)]. Sensitivity analyses yielded similar results. Ticagrelor was associated with lower risk of all-cause death, pneumonia-specific death, and incident pneumonia in patients with non-ACS cardiovascular conditions, consistent with previous evidence in patients with ACS. This additional effect of anti-pneumonia should be considered when choosing a proper P2Y12 inhibitor for patients with high risk of pneumonia.

Abstract Aims The current study sought to evaluate whether long-term clinical outcomes according to the use of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) or single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) differed between acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and stable ischaemic heart disease (SIHD) patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG). Methods and results Between January 2001 and December 2017, 3199 patients with ACS (55.3%) and 2583 with SIHD (44.7%) who underwent isolated CABG were enrolled. The study population was stratified using DAPT or SAPT in ACS patients and SIHD patients. The primary outcome was a cardiovascular death or myocardial infarction (MI) at 5 years. After CABG, DAPT was more frequently used in patients with ACS than in those with SIHD [n = 1960 (61.3%) vs. n = 1313 (50.8%), P < 0.001]. Among patients with ACS, the DAPT group showed a significantly lower risk of cardiovascular death or MI at 5 years than the SAPT group [DAPT vs. SAPT, 4.0% vs. 7.8%, hazard ratio (HR) 0.521, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.339–0.799; P = 0.003]. In contrast, among patients with SIHD, there was no significant difference in the rate of cardiovascular death or MI at 5 years between the use of DAPT and SAPT (4.0% vs. 4.0%, HR 0.991, 95% CI 0.604–1.626; P = 0.971). These findings were robust to multiple sensitivity analyses and competing risk analysis. In the subgroup analysis, the use of DAPT was associated with a significantly lower risk of cardiovascular death or MI among SIHD patients with a previous percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), with a significant interaction between the use of DAPT and PCI history (interaction P = 0.011). Conclusion Among ACS patients who underwent CABG, the use of DAPT was associated with lower cardiovascular death or MI than the use of SAPT, but this was not the case in SIHD patients.

Background: P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy is an alternative antiplatelet strategy in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, the ideal P2Y12 inhibitor for monotherapy is unclear. Methods and Results: We performed a multicenter, retrospective, observational study to compare the efficacy and safety of monotherapy with clopidogrel versus ticagrelor in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing PCI. From 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2018, 610 patients with ACS who received P2Y12 monotherapy with either clopidogrel (n = 369) or ticagrelor (n = 241) after aspirin was discontinued prematurely were included. Inverse probability of treatment weighting was used to balance covariates between the groups. The primary endpoint was the composite of all-cause mortality, recurrent ACS or unplanned revascularization, and stroke within 12 months after discharge. Overall, 84 patients reached the primary endpoint, with 57 (15.5%) in the clopidogrel group and 27 (11.2%) in the ticagrelor group. Multivariate adjustment in Cox proportional-hazards models revealed a lower risk of the primary endpoint with ticagrelor than with clopidogrel (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR): 0.67, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.49–0.93). Ticagrelor significantly reduced the risk of recurrent ACS or unplanned revascularization (aHR: 0.46, 95% CI: 0.28–0.75). No significant difference in all-cause mortality and major bleeding events was observed between the 2 groups. Conclusions: Among patients with ACS undergoing PCI who cannot complete course of dual antiplatelet therapy, a significantly lower risk of cardiovascular events was associated with ticagrelor monotherapy than with clopidogrel monotherapy. The major bleeding risk was similar in both the groups.

Recent studies have shown that P-selectin promotes the early formation of atherosclerotic plaque. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether the SELP gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are associated with presence of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and with plasma P-selectin levels in a case-control association study. The sample size was estimated for a statistical power of 80%. We genotyped three SELP (SELP Ser290Asn, SELP Leu599Val, and SELP Thr715Pro) SNPs using 5’ exonuclease TaqMan assays in 625 patients with ACS and 700 healthy controls. The associations were evaluated with logistic regressions under the co-dominant, dominant, recessive, over-dominant and additive inheritance models. The genotype contribution to the plasma P-selectin levels was evaluated by a Student’s t-test. Under different models, the SELP Ser290Asn (OR = 0.59, pCCo-Dominant = 0.047; OR = 0.59, pCDominant = 0.014; OR = 0.58, pCOver-Dominant = 0.061, and OR = 0.62, pCAdditive = 0.015) and SELP Thr715Pro (OR = 0.61, pCDominant = 0.028; OR = 0.63, pCOver-Dominant = 0.044, and OR = 0.62, pCAdditive = 0.023) SNPs were associated with a lower risk of ACS. In addition, these SNPs were associated with low plasma P-selectin levels. In summary, this study established that the SELP Ser290Asn and SELP Thr715Pro SNPs are associated with a lower risk of developing ACS and with decreased P-selectin levels in plasma in a Mexican population.

Abstract Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and acute coronary syndrome (ACS). This study aimed to explore the frequency and impact of AF on clinical outcomes in CKD patients with ACS. Methods CKD inpatients with ACS between November 2014 and December 2018 were included based on the improving care for cardiovascular disease in China-ACS (CCC-ACS) project. Included patients were divided into an AF group and a non-AF group according to the discharge diagnosis. Multivariable logistic regression was used to adjust for potential confounders. Results A total of 16,533 CKD patients with ACS were included. A total of 1418 (8.6%) patients had clinically recognized AF during hospitalization, 654 of whom had an eGFR of 45 to < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2, and 764 had an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 45 ml/min/1.73 m2. Compared with the non-AF group, the AF group had a higher risk of in-hospital mortality [OR 1.250; 95% CI (1.001–1.560), P = 0.049] and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) [OR 1.361; 95% CI (1.197–1.547), P < 0.001]. We also found that compared with patients with eGFR 45 to < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2, patients with eGFR < 45 ml/min/1.73 m2 had a 1.512-fold increased risk of mortality and a 1.435-fold increased risk of MACEs. Conclusions AF was a risk factor affecting the short-term prognosis of ACS patients in the CKD population. Furthermore, the lower the eGFR, the higher the risk of in-hospital mortality and MACEs in CKD patients with ACS. Trial registry: Clinicaltrial.gov, NCT02306616.

Abstract Objective To investigate the relationship between admission diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and subsequent cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in elderly patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods This is a retrospective observational study. Consecutive patients ≥65 years of age admitted for ACS at a 2,300-bed tertiary hospital from December 2012 to July 2019 were included. The association between admission DBP and cardiovascular and all-cause mortality during hospitalization and over the follow-up period among this population were analyzed using multivariate COX regression model. Results were presented according to DBP quartiles: Q1, less than 67 mm Hg; Q2, from 67 to 72 mm Hg; Q3, from 73 to 80 mm Hg; and Q4, above 80 mm Hg. Results A total of 6 785 patients were included in this cohort study. Mean (SD) patient age was 74.0 (6.5) years, and 47.6% were women. Mean (SD) follow-up time was 2.54 (1.82) years. A non-linear relation was observed between DBP at admission and cardiovascular and all-cause mortality during hospitalization and over the follow-up period using restricted cubic splines. After adjustment for potential confounders, patients in Q3 or Q2 had lower risk for 2-year cardiovascular death by Cox proportional hazard model compared with patients in Q4 (hazard ratio [HR] 0.66; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.48–0.90, P=0.010, for Q3 vs Q4; and HR 0.72; 95% CI, 0.53–0.99, P=0.041, for Q2vs Q4), while patients in Q1 had similar risk for cardiovascular death with that of patients in Q4. Meanwhile, when compared with patients in Q1, patients in Q3 had lower risk for 2-year cardiovascular death (HR, 0.72; 95% CI, 0.53–0.97, P=0.033). However, lower or higher admission DBP was not an independent predictor of 2-year all-cause mortality in this population. Conclusion Among patients aged ≥65 years admitted for ACS, there is a J-curve relationship between supine admission DBP and risk for 2-year cardiovascular death, with a nadir at 73–80 mm Hg.

Background: Managing antithrombotic therapy transitions at hospital admission and discharge in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is challenging and is affected by prior treatment. We examined oral anticoagulant (OAC) use prior to enrollment and the relationship with outcomes in the AUGUSTUS trial. Methods: Patients in AUGUSTUS (N=4,614) were analyzed according to whether they were [n=2262] or were not [n=2352] on a prior OAC. Bleeding and clinical outcomes were compared by Kaplan-Meier (KM) estimates at 180 days. For each outcome, KM estimates and treatment interactions were determined by randomized arm and prior OAC status. Results: Those with prior OAC use had higher CHA 2 DS 2 -VASC and HAS-BLED scores and more comorbid medical conditions (hypertension, heart failure, diabetes, prior stroke), and were more likely to have been enrolled following elective PCI. Prior OAC use included vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) 47%, rivaroxaban 22%, apixaban 22%, dabigatran 12%, and edoxaban 1%. There was no difference in combined ISTH major/clinically relevant non-major (CRNM) bleeding with or without prior OAC use (13.5% vs. 13.5%; HR 1.00, 95% CI 0.85-1.18). Patients with prior OAC use had lower risk of death or ischemic events (5.4% vs. 7.6%; HR 0.72, 95% CI 0.57-0.91). No interactions were observed between randomized treatment (apixaban vs. VKA and aspirin vs. placebo) and prior OAC status for outcomes other than MI where apixaban (vs. VKA) was associated with a lower risk of MI in those with prior OAC use (Figure). Conclusion: In AUGUSTUS, OAC prior to enrollment was more common in patients with comorbidities and those enrolled following elective PCI. Prior OAC was associated with fewer ischemic events but not more bleeding. Our results support the use of apixaban plus a P2Y12 inhibitor without aspirin for patients with AF and ACS/PCI, irrespective of prior OAC use.
