Abstract Background The incidence of atrial fibrillation in acute coronary syndromes (ACS) ranges from 3% to 25%. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the demographic and baseline clinical characteristics, cardiovascular risk factors and comorbid conditions between patients (pts) with concomitant atrial fibrillation (AF) to those without AF in patients suffering from ACS without previous coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and/or percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods The MINOCA-TR study has a cross-sectional, multicenter, observational design and was conducted with 32 interventional cardiology centers in our country. Heart rhythm at emergency admission, demographical, clinical and angiographic data was recorded for each patient. Patients with stable coronary artery disease, unstable angina pectoris and with type 4/5 myocardial infarction were excluded from study population. Results A total of 1626 patients (male: 70.7%, mean age: 61.4±12.5 years) were classified according to the presence of AF. The rate of AF was 3.1% in study population. This group was older (73.4 vs. 61.0 years, p<0.001) and AF was more common among females (43.1% vs. 28.7%, p=0.027). The frequency of AF was slightly higher (7.8%) in MINOCA group (p=ns). STEMI presentation was more common in patients without AF (31.3% vs. 46.9%, p=0.028). LVEF was significantly lower in ACS patients with AF (44.1% vs. 49.4%, p=0.039). The frequency of AF was significantly higher (3.7%) in MINOCA group.

Conclusions The frequency of AF was relatively lower in patients suffering from an ACS without prior revascularization history. They were older than patients without AF and were common in females. Non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction was significantly higher in the AF. The presence of MINOCA was similar between 2 groups.

We investigated the relationship between atrial fibrillation (AF) and contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI); 1045 consecutive patients undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions were enrolled. Risk factors for CIN were investigated. Baseline characteristics, except oral anticoagulant use, were similar between patients with and without AF. Patients with CIN show higher presence of diabetes mellitus (DM), coronary artery bypass graft surgery history, Mehran score, baseline creatinine levels, baseline glomerular filtration rate (GFR), peak troponin levels, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and presence of AF ( P < .05). In multivariate logistic regression analyses, the presence of DM (odds ratio [OR], 2.333; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.222-4.457; P = .010), Mehran score (OR, 1.269; 95% CI, 1.152-1.398; P < .001), baseline GFR (OR, 0,954; 95% CI, 0.944-0.964 P < .001), left anterior descending artery originated infarction (OR, 1.594; 95% CI, 1.061-2.398; P = .025), LVEF value (OR, 0.956; 95% CI, 0.926-0.986; P = .005), and the presence of AF (OR, 3.830; 95% CI, 1.239-11.839; P = .020) were independent predictors of CIN. Atrial fibrillation can be related to CIN development in patients with NSTEMI.

Purpose: Octogenarians with acute coronary syndromes have higher mortality and morbidity due to higher prevalence of comorbidities and frailty. The aim of this study was to explore the predictors of short and long term mortality in octogenarians with ACS. Methods: Ninety-eight consecutive octogenarians presenting with acute coronary syndrome (mean age:84±3 years, 56 male) were included. All patients underwent coronary angiography and were given optimal medical treatment. The primary end point was cardiovascular mortality in hospital and at one year. Results: Fifteen patients died during hospitalization and 20 patients died after discharge within the first year. ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction and hypotension were significantly more prevalent in the in-hospital mortality group while atrial fibrillation and hyponatremia were more prevalent in the long-term mortality group. All deceased patients had significantly lower left ventricular ejection fraction and glomerular filtration rate. Cox analysis revealed ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction, hypotension and left ventricular ejection fraction as independent predictors of in-hospital mortality while hyponatremia, atrial fibrillation and renal dysfunction as independent predictors of long term mortality. Conclusion: It would be reasonable to pay further attention to octogenarians with acute coronary syndrome if they are presenting with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction, and have hypotension, impaired left ventricular function, hyponatremia, atrial fibrillation or renal dysfunction, which are associated with increased mortality.

Abstract Background Left ventricular negative remodelling after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is considered as the major cause for the poor prognosis. But the predisposing factors and potential mechanisms of left ventricular negative remodelling after STEMI remain not fully understood. The present research mainly assessed the association between the stress hyperglycaemia ratio (SHR) and left ventricular negative remodelling. Methods We recruited 127 first-time, anterior, and acute STEMI patients in the present study. All enrolled patients were divided into 2 subgroups equally according to the median value of SHR level (1.191). Echocardiography was conducted within 24 h after admission and 6 months post-STEMI to measure left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), and left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD). Changes in echocardiography parameters (δLVEF, δLVEDD, δLVESD) were calculated as LVEF, LVEDD, and LVESD at 6 months after infarction minus baseline LVEF, LVEDD and LVESD, respectively. Results In the present study, the mean SHR was 1.22 ± 0.25 and there was significant difference in SHR between the 2 subgroups (1.05 (0.95, 1.11) vs 1.39 (1.28, 1.50), p < 0.0001). The global LVEF at 6 months post-STEMI was significantly higher in the low SHR group than the high SHR group (59.37 ± 7.33 vs 54.03 ± 9.64, p  = 0.001). Additionally, the global LVEDD (49.84 ± 5.10 vs 51.81 ± 5.60, p  = 0.040) and LVESD (33.27 ± 5.03 vs 35.38 ± 6.05, p  = 0.035) at 6 months after STEMI were lower in the low SHR group. Most importantly, after adjusting through multivariable linear regression analysis, SHR remained associated with δLVEF (beta = −9.825, 95% CI −15.168 to −4.481, p  < 0.0001), δLVEDD (beta = 4.879, 95% CI 1.725 to 8.069, p  = 0.003), and δLVESD (beta = 5.079, 95% CI 1.421 to 8.738, p  = 0.007). Conclusions In the present research, we demonstrated for the first time that SHR is significantly correlated with left ventricular negative remodelling after STEMI.

Abstract Objective To investigate the correlation between Procollagen I C-Terminal Propeptide (PICP), Procollagen III N-Terminal Propeptide (PIIINP), indices of echocardiography and anamnestic data in patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and preserved myocardial contractility. Materials and methods 60 men and 23 women diagnosed with STEMI were examined. Echocardiographic studies were performed using SONOS 2500 Cardiac – Vascular Ultrasound (Hewlett Packard, USA). Myocardial contractility was considered to be preserved with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥50%. In addition to standard indices of echocardiography, mitral flow propagation velocity (FPV) was evaluated to diagnose diastolic dysfunction. Coronary angiography was performed using INNOVA 3100 Cardiovascular Imaging System (USA). All patients, during the first twelve hours of the disease, underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stenting of the occluded culprit infarct-related artery. On the 1st and 12th days of hospitalization, the concentrations of PICP and PIIINP were determined for all patients by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using laboratory BCM Diagnostics kits (USA). All patients at the hospital received standard therapy. Results The following marker values were obtained: 1st day: PICP 609 (583; 635) ng/ml, PIIINP 26 (18.9; 34.9) ng/ml; 12th day: PICP 588 (580; 561) ng/ml, PIIINP 24.2 (18.6; 30.3) ng/ml. The following significant correlations were revealed: PICP 1st day / isovolumic contraction time – IVCT (m/s) 12th day, r=−0.68, p=0.042; PICP 1st day / Tei Index 12th day, r=−0.72, p=0.028; PICP 1st day / diastolic rigidity 12th day, r=−0.74, p=0.021; PIIINP 1st day/age, r=0.55, p=0.016; PIIINP 1st day/ body mass index (BMI), r=−0.59, p=0.009; PIIINP 1st day / E (cm/s) 1st day, r=0.72, p=0.018; PIIINP 1st day / Em /FPV 1st day, r=0.78, p=0.007; PIIINP 12th day / Em / FPV 1st day, r=0.65, p=0.041; PIIINP 12th day / E (cm/s) 1st day, r=0.67, p=0.033; PIIINP 12th day / E / Em) 12th day, r=0.70, p=0.023; PIIINP 12th day / Em/FPV 12th day, r=0.73, p=0.014. Conclusions The data obtained indicates the correlation between serum markers of myocardial fibrosis and the indices of echocardiography, as well as age. We conclude that, all the markers listed above, are able to represent myocardial remodeling in patients with STEMI. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relation between residual SYNTAX score (rSS) and contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) development in patients with non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) with normal or near-to-normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). A total of 306 patients who underwent PCI with NSTEMI were included in our study. SYNTAX scores were calculated for the periods before and after PCI. Patients were divided into 2 groups as developed CIN following PCI (CIN +) and patients did not (CIN −). Fifty-four (17.6%) of patients who were included in the study developed CIN. Age ( P = .001) and rSS ( P = .002) were significantly higher and LVEF was lower ( P = .034) in the CIN (+) group. Age ( P = .031, odds ratio [OR]: 1.031, 95% CI, 1.003-1.059) and rSS ( P = .04, OR: 1.036, 95% CI, 1.002-1.071) were independent predictors for CIN. In receiver operating characteristic analyses, when the cutoff value of rSS was taken as 3.5, it determined CIN with 79% sensitivity and 65% specificity. Contrast-induced nephropathy may develop more frequently in patients with increased rSS value. The rSS may be useful to follow-up these patients for CIN development.

Background: Elevated heart rate is associated with poor clinical outcome in patients with acute myocardial infarction. However, in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention the importance of elevated heart rate in the very early phase remains unknown. We evaluated the impact of elevated heart rate in the very early pre-hospital phase of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention on cardiovascular magnetic resonance markers of reperfusion success and clinical outcome. Methods: In this DANAMI-3 substudy, 1560 ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients in sinus rhythm without cardiogenic shock were included in the analyses of clinical outcome and 796 patients underwent cardiovascular magnetic resonance to evaluate area at risk, infarct size and left ventricular ejection fraction. Heart rate was assessed on the first electrocardiogram with ST-elevation (time of diagnosis). Results: Despite equal area at risk (33%±11 versus 36%±16, p=0.174) patients with a pre-hospital heart rate ⩾100 beats per minute developed larger infarcts (19% (interquartile range, 9–17) versus 11% (interquartile range, 10–28), p=0.001) and a lower left ventricular ejection fraction (54%±12 versus 58%±9, p=0.047). Pre-hospital heart rate ⩾100 beats per minute was independently associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality and heart failure (hazard ratio 2.39 (95% confidence interval 1.58–3.62), p<0.001). Conclusions: Very early heart rate ⩾100 beats per minute in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction was independently associated with larger infarct size, reduced left ventricular ejection fraction and an increased risk of all-cause mortality and heart failure, and thus serves as an easily obtainable and powerful tool to identify ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients at high risk.
