Abstract Background/Introduction ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a frequent cause of Cardiac Arrest (CA), and early percutaneous coronary intervention is associated with increased hospital survival in these patients. Despite constant improvements in out-of-hospital CA management, survival remains low. Purpose Our aim was to assess pre-admission CA incidence, predictors and related outcomes in patients admitted with STEMI. Methods We prospectively included 1083 patients admitted with STEMI in a tertiary university hospital in southern Brazil between March 2011 and October 2019. All patients were submitted to emergency coronary angiography. Baseline characteristics, details of the procedure, reperfusion strategies, and in-hospital outcomes were evaluated. Results Mean age was 60.8 years (± 12), 66.2% were male, 62% had hypertension and 25.3% had diabetes. Pre-admission CA was present in 104 (9.8%) patients. Patients with CA had more frequently previous myocardial infarction, temporary pacemaker, smoking and Killip 3 or 4 on admission, and shorter pain–to-door time than patients without CA. In addition, CA patients had a higher incidence of periprocedural CA, cardiogenic shock and periprocedural and in-hospital mortality. In multivariate analysis, age (RR= 0.96, p=0.001), anterior MI (RR=1.67, p=0.04) smoking (RR=0.57, p=0.04), previous ASA use (RR=0.40, p=0.02), Killip 3 or 4 (RR=14.71, p<0.001), temporary pacemaker (RR 2.53, p=0.01), pain-to-door time (RR=0.99, p=0.017) were independently associated with CA. Non Shockable Rhythm (RR=7.37, p=0.017), ROSC duration (RR=1.05, p=0.02) and cardiogenic shock (RR=31.2, p=0.003) were independent predictors of mortality among patients admitted with CA. Conclusion In this cohort of consecutive patients admitted with STEMI, pre-admission CA incidence was greater than seen in literature. Cardiogenic shock and in-hospital mortality were more common in patients admitted with CA, which may in part explain our higher rate of overall in-hospital mortality. Non shockable rhythm, increased ROSC and cardiogenic shock were independent predictors of mortality among patients admitted with CA. Understanding these characteristics may help taking measures to lower mortality rates. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None

We investigated the relation of initial metabolic acidemia to in-hospital mortality in patients treated with emergency coronary angioplasty for shock complicating first anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods A total of 23 consecutive patients (17 men, 73±12 years) with Killip class IV class due to anterior STEMI were studied. Using median levels of arterial base excess (BE, −5.8 mmol/L), the patients were divided into high and low BE groups, and both groups were compared regarding microvascular revascularization and clinical outcomes. To evaluate myocardial tissue-level reperfusion, severe microvascular injury was defined by the presence of both angiographic myocardial blush grade 0/1 and less than 30 % resolution of ST-elevation after angioplasty. Results In-hospital mortality was 92 % in the high BE group (−12.0±4.9 mmol/L) as compared with 9 % in the low BE group (−0.9±2.4mmol/L, p=0.0001 vs. high BE group). Baseline clinical and angiographic characteristics were not different between the two groups. Arterial gas analysis showed lower pH and higher levels of lactate in the high BE group than in the low BE group (7.22±0.16 vs. 7.42±0.06, p=0.006, 8.52±4.43 vs. 2.42±1.33, p=0.016). Despite successfully culprit angioplasty in all cases, the incidence of severe microvascular injury was significantly high in the high BE group as compared with the low BE group (83 vs. 36 %, p=0.018). Initial levels of BE showed a significant negative relation to ST-segment resolution (r=0.61, p=0.002). A multivariate regression analysis demonstrated a potent association of initial levels of BE with severe microvascular injury (r 2 =0.341, p=0.015). Conclusions We identified the pivotal association of initial metabolic crisis with severe microvascular reperfusion injury leading to high in-hospital mortality in patients with cardiogenic shock complicating STEMI.

Background: Distorted terminal portion of QRS complex on initial electrocardiogram in ST segment elevation myocardial infarction is a strong predictor of inhospital adverse outcome.Objectives: Our purpose of this study was to analyse admission ECG in patients of STEMI based on terminal portion of QRS complex and find out inhospital death, heart failure, cardiogenic shock and recurrent MI.Methods: We evaluated 60 patients of STEMI admitted within 12 hours and receiving thrombolytic therapy. We defined two ECG groups according to absence of distortion of terminal QRS (Group-I) and presence of distorted terminal QRS (Group-II) in two or more adjacent leads. Group-II further divided into pattern-A – J point originating at ?50% of height of R wave in leads with qR configuration and pattern B- S wave is absent in leads with RS configuration.Results: Out of 60 patients of STEMI, 30(50.0%) patients had distortion of QRS. There were 7(11.6%) deaths, 16(26.7%) heart failure, 3(5.0%) cardigenic shock and no recurrent myocardial infarction. Hospital mortality and heart failure were found to be significantly higher in distorted QRS group (3.3% vs. 20.0%, p=0.04; 13.3% vs. 40.0%, p=0.02; respectively), cardiogenic shock of both groups did not show significant difference (0.0% vs. 10.0%, p=0.075). Multiple logistic regression analysis using hospital mortality as dependable variable and all studied risk factors were independent variables, QRS distortion on admission ECG and Killip class were only variable found to be statistically significant (OR=7.25, p value < 0.05 ; OR=16.25, p value < 0.05 respectively).Conclusion: Careful analysis of ECG which is simple, cheap, universally available bed side investigation may offer important prognostic information in patients with STEMI and would help in deciding which patients should go urgent myocardial revascularization procedure.University Heart Journal Vol. 11, No. 1, January 2015; 30-35

Abstract Background and purpose Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) due to left main coronary artery (LMCA) occlusion is a rare event, often catastrophic. Limited data are available about management and outcomes of patients with acute LMCA occlusion, including those presenting with cardiogenic shock (CS) at hospital admission. This study sought to describe patients with AMI due unprotected LMCA occlusion presenting with CS and to evaluate their in-hospital outcomes and 1-year mortality. Methods In this retrospective 2-center study, we identified 7630 patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) or hight risk non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction who underwent to emergent coronary angiography between January 2008 and December 2020. Among this cohort, we analysed 94 patients who presented with unprotected LMCA occlusion (Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction – TIMI ≤2) and divided them in 2 groups according to presence of signs of cardiogenic shock at admission: CS and no-CS. Results Of 94 patients with AMI due LMCA occlusion, 52 patients presented with CS (53.3%). Mean age was 62.8±11.5 years in CS and 62.0±15.9 years in no-CS patients, p=0.766. In both groups, most patients were male. STEMI presentation was more frequent in CS group (80.4% vs. 52.4%, p=0.004). Severe systolic dysfunction of left ventricle was more frequent in CS patients (81.1% vs. 33.3%, p&lt;0.001). Compared to no-CS patients, CS group shown more often TIMI=0 (67.3% vs. 26.2%, p&lt;0.001), collateral coronary circulation Rentrop 0–1 (95.3% vs. 75.0%, p=0.008), and slow-reflow/no-reflow phenomena (30.6% vs 3.8%, p=0.019) in emergent coronary angiography. The need of invasive mechanical ventilation (68.9% vs. 21.4%, p&lt;0.001), and haemodialysis (20.5% vs. 2.4%, p=0.010) were more prevalent in CS patients. Likewise, mechanical circulatory support (MCS) was more frequently used in patients presented with CS (52.9% vs. 26.2%, p=0.009). In subgroup analysis, MCS implantation was not a survival predictor in CS patients (Odds ratio: 3.9 [95% confidence interval: 0.4 to 36.3], p=0.229). Ultimately, in-hospital mortality (78.8% vs. 16.7%, p&lt;0.001) was higher in CS patients. On the other hand, in hospital survivors, there was no significant differences in 1-year mortality (11.1% vs. 23.5%, p=0.42) between both groups. Conclusions Nearly half of patients with AMI due LMCA occlusion presented with CS signs at first medical evaluation. This subgroup of patients had higher in-hospital mortality compared to those without CS, despite MCS implantation. Whether the use of a specific MCS device or whether early use of MCS can change the outcome remains to be elucidated. CS patients who survive to index-hospitalization, had similar long-term outcomes compared to no-CS patients. Further studies are imperative in this population to refine initial medical treatment in order to improve their prognosis. FUNDunding Acknowledgement Type of funding sources: None.

Background Studies have reported significant reduction in acute myocardial infarction–related hospitalizations during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic. However, whether these trends are associated with increased incidence of out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in this population is unknown. Methods and Results Acute myocardial infarction hospitalizations with OHCA during the COVID‐19 period (February 1–May 14, 2020) from the Myocardial Ischaemia National Audit Project and British Cardiovascular Intervention Society data sets were analyzed. Temporal trends were assessed using Poisson models with equivalent pre–COVID‐19 period (February 1–May 14, 2019) as reference. Acute myocardial infarction hospitalizations during COVID‐19 period were reduced by >50% (n=20 310 versus n=9325). OHCA was more prevalent during the COVID‐19 period compared with the pre–COVID‐19 period (5.6% versus 3.6%), with a 56% increase in the incidence of OHCA (incidence rate ratio, 1.56; 95% CI, 1.39–1.74). Patients experiencing OHCA during COVID‐19 period were likely to be older, likely to be women, likely to be of Asian ethnicity, and more likely to present with ST‐segment–elevation myocardial infarction. The overall rates of invasive coronary angiography (58.4% versus 71.6%; P <0.001) were significantly lower among the OHCA group during COVID‐19 period with increased time to reperfusion (mean, 2.1 versus 1.1 hours; P =0.05) in those with ST‐segment–elevation myocardial infarction. The adjusted in‐hospital mortality probability increased from 27.7% in February 2020 to 35.8% in May 2020 in the COVID‐19 group ( P <.001). Conclusions In this national cohort of hospitalized patients with acute myocardial infarction, we observed a significant increase in incidence of OHCA during COVID‐19 period paralleled with reduced access to guideline‐recommended care and increased in‐hospital mortality.
