Abstract Objectives Reperfusion may cause no-reflow phenomenon. Both microvascular obstruction (MVO) and intramyocardial hemorrhage (IMH) have been recognized as poor prognostic factors in myocardial infarction (MI) patients. The aim of the study was to evaluate hypothesis whether cardioprotective strategy prevent IMH in MI patients after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods This multicenter open-label randomized clinical trial enrolled 143 patients with first acute anterior ST-elevation MI (STEMI) reperfused within 6 h after symptoms onset. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) was performed to assess left ventricular (LV) function and microvascular injury in 23 patients within the first week (3.5±1.2 days) after STEMI. Nine patients were randomized into soluble intravenous form of quercetin (Q) group and 14 - to the control group. Q infusions were started before PCI and used during the next 5 days. MVO was visualized using early gadolinium enhancement (EGE) and IMH was detected by using T2-WI. Results The study groups did not differ in terms of demographic characteristics, time to admission and main clinical data. Initially, the number of LV myocardial segments with edema was similar - 7.8±1.7 in patients of Q subgroup versus 6.8±1.8 in patients of the control subgroup (p=0.245). However, patients of the Q subgroup tended to have greater number of segments with gadolinium accumulation and higher value of the transmural index (7.7±1.2 compared to 6.2±1.5; p<0.05) according to the late gadolinium enhancement (Area at Risk, gray zone of AMI). According to gadolinium enhancement MVO was detected in more than 90% patients of both groups, but IMH rate was higher in the control group (53.3 vs 11.1%; p=0.03). Additionally, Q limited final infarct size assessed by CK-MB AUC 18% compare to control group (p<0.021). Conclusion Detection of MVO and IMH by CMR can accurately demonstrate the severity of myocardial injury. Intravenous Q can decrease the rate of IMH additionally to infarct size limitation. Further investigations are needed to confirm our results and to determine whether prevention of IMH can impact on better prognosis. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None

Abstract Background To investigate the relationship between the clinical features and progression of non-culprit lesions in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). Methods A total of 480 patients (57.1 ± 9.2 y) with STEMI who underwent PPCI between January 2016 and December 2017 in Beijing Anzhen Hospital were enrolled in this study. All patients underwent PPCI as a treatment for culprit lesions. Clinical and angiographic follow-up were performed for 12 months. All patients were divided into a non-culprit lesions (NCL) progression group (205 cases) and a control group (275 cases) based on angiographic follow-up outcomes at 12 months. The clinical and angiographic features were analyzed. Results Body mass index (BMI), serum creatinine (Scr), fasting blood glucose (FBG), glycated serum albumin, glycated hemoglobin and homocysteine levels in the NCL progression group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). A logistic regression analysis showed that FBG (odds ratio = 1.274, 95% confidence interval: 1.077–1.505, P = 0.005) and Scr (odds ratio = 1.020, 95% confidence interval: 1.002–1.038, P = 0.027) were independent predictors of NCL progression. A partial correlation analysis showed that FBG was positively correlated with NCL progression (r = 0.231, P = 0.001). A receiver operating characteristic curve showed that the boundary point of FBG to predict NCL progression was 5.715 mmol/L, and the sensitivity was 74.4% and the specificity was 46.4%. Conclusions FBG is a valuable predictor for NCL progression in patients with STEMI after PPCI.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Introduction Left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) is a common consequence of myocardial infarction (MI). Data from historic series identified LVSD in up to 60% of patients post-MI. However, in modern practice, with high-sensitivity cardiac biomarkers leading to early detection of MI and widespread use of early revascularization, the prevalence of LVSD in the acute phase of MI and its impact on subsequent clinical heart failure remains unknown. Purpose To ascertain the prevalence of LVSD on pre-discharge echocardiography and its impact on subsequent clinical heart failure after type 1 MI treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in a UK tertiary cardiac centre. Methods A retrospective electronic patient records review of consecutive patients with type 1 MI treated with PCI between January 2016 - December 2017. Patients treated conservatively or with surgical revascularization were excluded. Results 1000 consecutive patients were identified and 948/1000 who had an inpatient echocardiogram prior to discharge were included in this analysis – 413 ST elevation MI (STEMI) and 535 non-ST elevation (NSTEMI). Median door to balloon time for STEMI was 42 minutes (IQR 28-79). Median time from symptom onset to intervention for NSTEMI was 3 days (IQR 1-6). LVSD was defined as left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) &lt;50% on transthoracic echocardiogram carried out during the hospital episode. LVSD was significantly more prevalent in patients with STEMI compared to NSTEMI (37.4% vs 17.3%, p &lt; 0.001). Median LVEF was significantly lower in the STEMI population (55%, IQR 45-60) compared to patients with NSTEMI (60%, IQR 54-65), p &lt; 0.001. However, rates of clinical heart failure at index presentation with MI did not vary significantly between STEMI and NSTEMI patients (6.1% vs 4.9%, p = 0.414). In stepwise multivariate regression models: age, peak troponin and previous coronary artery bypass grafting were predictors of LVEF, whereas LVEF and previous MI were predictors of clinical heart failure Patients with LVSD on pre-discharge echocardiography had significantly higher rates of 30-day readmission with heart failure (2.9% vs 0.7%, p = 0.017), 30-day all-cause mortality (6.1% vs 2%, p = 0.001), 30-day cardiac mortality (5.7% vs 1%, p &lt; 0.001) and 2-year all-cause mortality (5.7% vs 1.6%, p = 0.001). However, at 2-years, there was no difference in hospital readmission with heart failure (0.8% vs 0.3%, p = 0.276). There were no significant differences between STEMI and NSTEMI patients for these endpoints. Conclusions Early revascularisation with PCI has led to a reduction in the prevalence of early LVSD post-MI compared to historical data. However, the presence of LVSD remains a powerful predictor of adverse clinical outcomes. Despite lower rates of LVSD on pre-discharge echocardiography in patients with NSTEMI compared with STEMI, the incidence of subsequent clinical heart failure is similar. This however may be underestimated due to survival bias.

Background: Elevated neutrophil to leukocyte ratio in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is associated with adverse clinical outcomes. However, whether decreased eosinophil ratio after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) reflects larger infarct size has not been fully investigated. This study examined the relationship between eosinophil ratio and creatinine kinase-MB (CK-MB) elevation after primary PCI in patients presenting with STEMI. Methods and Results: We analyzed the data of 321 consecutive patients who underwent primary PCI for ST-elevation myocardial infarction between January 2009 and August 2015. Total and each type of leukocyte counts 24 hours after admission were measured. The eosinophil/leukocyte ratio (ER) was calculated as the ratio of eosinophil to leukocyte count. The primary end point was major adverse cardiac event (MACE) and the follow-up period was 180 days. The mean ER and max CK-MB was 0.44±0.65 % and 217.3±224.4 IU/l, respectively. ER obtained 24 hours after admission was inversely correlated with CK-MB concentration (r=-0.37, r2=0.14, P<0.001). MACE within 180 days occurred in 68 patients (21%) including death (9%), myocardial infarction (MI) (1%) and target lesion or vessel revascularization (10%). Patients who had MACE within 180 days had lower ER (0.20±0.51 vs 0.49±0.66, P<0.001) at 24 hours after admission. Conclusions: The decreased ER after primary PCI in patients presenting with STEMI was associated with increased CK-MB concentration, which might indicate larger infarct size, therefore, poor prognosis.
