Abstract Background Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common inflammatory arthritis and is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events and mortality. Despite this, data regarding long-term outcomes following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are limited. Methods We identified 756 patients with RA from the Melbourne Interventional Group PCI registry (2005–2018) and compared outcomes to the remaining cohort (N=38,579). Cox regression analysis was performed to assess risk of adverse cardiac events including long-term mortality (derived from linkage with the National Death Index [NDI]). Results Patients with RA were older (68.9±10.0 vs. 64.6±12.0 years) and more often female (40% vs. 23%), with higher rates of hypertension (70% vs 67%), previous stroke (9% vs 6%), peripheral vascular disease (9% vs 6%), obstructive sleep apnoea (10% vs 5%), chronic lung disease (22% vs 12%), prior myocardial infarction (32% vs 27%), and impaired renal function (eGFR<60 ml/min/1.73m2 in 31% vs 24%), while rates of current smoking were lower (20% vs. 25%), all p<0.05. Lesions were more frequently complex (ACC/AHA type B2/C in 61% vs 57%), required longer stents (>20mm in 39% vs 35%), and rates of no reflow were higher (5% vs 3%), all p<0.05. 30-day mortality was higher (4.4% vs. 3.3%, p=0.04) mainly owing to higher non-cardiac mortality (1.6% vs. 0.8%, p=0.01). National Death Index-linked long-term mortality was 28% vs. 19% (p<0.01) with mean follow-up 4.6 vs. 5.4 years. Risk of 30-day and long-term mortality (including by indication subgroup) are presented in the Table. Conclusions Patients with RA undergoing PCI have more comorbidities and longer, more complex coronary lesions. After adjustment, risk of short-term adverse outcomes are similar, while risk of long-term mortality is higher, particularly among patients with acute coronary syndromes.

Abstract Background Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a frequent complication after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and is associated with poor outcome. However, the optimal definition of CIN has been debated because of its different incidence and influence on prognosis. At present, there are limited data regarding th impact of different CIN definitions on long-term mortality in patients undergoing elective PCI. Purpose To explore the influence of two classical CIN definitions on long-term mortality and identify which definition was more suitable for predicting long-term mortality in patients undergoing elective PCI.. Methods We prospectively observed 5600 consenting patients undergoing PCI from January 2012 to December 2018. Two classical CIN definitions include those defined by ESUR[Contrast-media-induced nephrotoxicity (CMN)] and AKIN[contrast induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI)]. CMN was defined as an increase in serum creatinine (SCr) ≥25% or 0.5 mg/dLabove thebaseline level within 3 days,while CI-AKI wasdefined as an increase in SCr ≥50% or 0.3 mg/dL within 48hs after contrast medium exposure.The association of CIN with long-term mortality was investigated by Cox regression analysis.Interaction analyses were performed for long-term mortality across subgroups. Results The incidence of CIN according to ESUR (CMN) and AKIN (CI-AKI) definition were18.3% (n=1023) and 6.1% (n=342), respectively. During a median follow-up of 2 years, after adjusting other potential risk factors, multivariable cox regression analysis revealed CIN was a risk factor for long-term mortality [hazard ratio (HR): 2.021, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.389–2.938, P<0.0001] according to AKIN definition, but not for ESUR definition (HR: 1.344, 95% CI: 0.982–1.838, P>0.05). Further interaction analysis showed that there was a significant interaction between age >75ys and CMN for long-term mortality (P=0.042) while no such association was observed between age >75ys and CI-AKI (P=0.806). Conclusions CIN defined by AKIN may be more suitable for predicting long-term mortality in patients undergoing elective PCI. However, in elderly patients, CIN defined by ESUR could also be used for predicting long-term mortality. Association Between CIN and mortality Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None

Abstract Background Reducing delay to percutaneous coronary intervention improves functional outcome and reduces long-term mortality. Transportation by helicopter is often quicker than ground transport and thus may improve overall prognosis through reduced ischemic injury and infarction size. Our hospital is located on the medically-depopulated peninsula surrounded by mountain. The journey from the southern tip of the peninsula to the critical care medical center of our hospital take 1.5 hour by a ground ambulance but only 15 minutes by helicopter. We compared the clinical characteristics and long-term mortality between air and ground transport of ACS patients for primary PCI. Methods We conducted an observational cohort study evaluating 2324 patients (mean age 68.5±12.0, male 75.2%) with ACS underwent primary PCI between April 2004 and December 2017 at our hospital. We divided into three groups according to transportation system type (air, ground, walk-in). The primary outcome was defined as all-cause death during the long-term follow-up. Results Among the entire cohort, 577 patients (24.8%) were transported by air. 1326 (57.1%) patients by ambulance, 421 (18.1%) patients by walk. Baseline characteristics were comparable, but patients by air had a higher prevalence of ST-elevation myocardial infarction. The rate of long-term mortality was comparable during the median follow up of 6 years (air, 21.1% vs. ground, 21.4% vs. walk-in, 21.1%, respectively, log-rank p=0.72). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed no significant association between air transportation and long-term mortality (Adjusted HR [vs ground] 1.05, 95% CI 0.60–1.78, p=0.85 and [vs walk-in] 0.94, 95% CI 0.62–1.43, respectively, p=0.77). Kaplan-Meier curve Conclusions The rate of long-term mortality in patients with ACS transported by air was comparable with those transported by ground.

Abstract Background Previous studies associated midrange ejection fraction (mrEF) with impaired prognosis in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Purpose Our aim was to assess clinical profile and short- and long-term mortality of patients with mrEF after STEMI treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods This analysis included 8148 patients admitted for primary PCI during 2009–2019, from a high-volume tertiary center, for whom echocardiographic parameters obtained during index hospitalization were available. Midrange EF was defined as 40–49%. Adjusted Cox regression models were used to assess 30-day and 5-year mortality hazard of mrEF, with the reference category being preserved EF (>50%). Results mrEF was present in 29.8% (n=2 427), whereas low ejection fraction (EF<40%) was documented in 24.7% of patients (n=2 016). mrEF was associated with a higher baseline risk as compared with preserved EF patients, but lower when compared with EF<40%, in terms of prior MI (14.5% in mrEF vs. 9.9% in preserved EF vs. 24.2% in low EF, p<0.001), history of diabetes (26.5% vs. 21.2% vs. 30.0%, p<0.001), presence of Killip 2–4 on admission (15.7% vs. 6.9% vs. 26.5%, p<0.001) and median age (61 vs. 59 vs. 64 years, p<0.001). At 30 days, mortality was comparable in mrEF vs. preserved EF group, while it was significantly higher in the low EF group (2.7% vs. 1.6% vs. 9.4%, respectively, p<0.001). At 5 years, mrEF patients had higher crude mortality rate as compared with preserved EF, but lower in comparison with low EF (25.1% vs. 17.0% vs. 48.7%, p<0.001) (Figure). After adjusting for the observed baseline differences mrEF was independently associated with increased mortality at 5 years (HR 1.283, 95% CI: 1.093–1.505, p=0.002), but not at 30 days (HR 1.444, 95% CI: 0.961–2.171, p<0.001). Conclusion Patients with mrEF after primary PCI for STEMI have a distinct baseline clinical risk profile, as compared with patients with reduced (<40%) and preserved (≥50%) EF. Importantly, mrEF did not have a significant impact on short-term mortality following STEMI, but it did independently predict the risk of 5-year mortality.

Abstract Introduction Patients with chronic inflammatory diseases are at increased risk for coronary artery disease. Aim We aimed to assess the long-term outcomes of patients with chronic inflammatory diseases who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods A Retrospective cohort study of all adult (>18 years) patients who underwent PCI in a large [1000 bed] tertiary care centerfrom January 2002 to August 2020. Results A total of 12,951 patients underwent PCI during the study period and were included in the cohort. The population of chronic inflammatory diseases includes 247/12,951 [1.9%]; 70 with IBD and 173 with AIRD. The composite endpoint of mortality, ACS or CHF admission was more frequent in the inflammatory disease group (77.5% in AIRD group, 72.9% in the IBD group and 59.6% in the non-inflammatory group, p<0.001). The adjusted cox regression model found a statistically significant increased risk of the composite primary endpoints of around 40% for patients both with AIRD and IBD. The increased risk for ACS was 61% for AIRD patients and 37% for IBD patients. Patients with inflammatory diseases were found to have a significant increased risk CHF admission, while both IBD and AIED patients had a non-significant increased risk for mortality. Conclusion Patients with AIRD and IBD are at higher risk for cardiovascular events also in long term follow up once diagnosed with CAD and treated with PCI.
