Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Foundation. Main funding source(s): Lundbeck Foundation OnBehalf Critical Cardiac Care Research Group Background Approximately half of all patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMICS) present with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Cardiogenic shock due to OHCA is caused by abrupt cessation of circulation, whereas AMICS without OHCA is due to cardiac failure with low cardiac output. Thus, there may also be differences between the two conditions in terms of blood borne biomarkers. Purpose To explore the potential differences in the admission plasma concentrations of biomarkers reflecting tissue perfusion (lactate), neuroendocrine response (mid-regional proadrenomedullin [MRproADM], Copeptin, pro-atrial natriuretic peptide [proANP]), endothelial damage (Syndecan-1, soluble thrombomodulin [sTM]), inflammation (soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 [sST2]) and kidney injury (neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin [NGAL]), in patients with AMICS presenting with or without OHCA. Method Consecutive patients admitted for acute coronary angiography due to suspected ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) were enrolled during a 1-year period. A total of 2,713 patients were screened. In the present study 86 patients with confirmed STEMI and CS at admission were included. Results Patients with OHCA (had significantly higher median admission concentrations of Lactate (6,9 mmol/L vs. 3.4 mmol/L p <0.001), NGAL (220 ng/ml  vs 150 ng/ml p = 0.046), sTM (10 ng/ml vs. 8.0  ng/ml p = 0.026) and Syndecan-1 (160 ng/ml vs. 120 ng/ml p= 0.015) and significantly lower concentrations of MR-proADM (0.85 nmol/L  vs. 1.6 nmol/L p <0.001) and sST2 (39 ng/ml vs. 62 ng/ml p < 0.001).  After adjusting for age, sex, and time from symptom onset to coronary angiography, lactate (p = 0.008), NGAL (p = 0.03) and sTM (p = 0.011) were still significantly higher in patients presenting with OHCA while sST2 was still significantly lower (p = 0.029). There was very little difference in 30-day mortality between the OHCA and non-OHCA groups (OHCA 37% vs. non-OHCA 38%). Conclusion Patients with STEMI and CS at admission with or without concomitant OHCA had similar 30-day mortality but differed in terms of Lactate, NGAL, sTM and sST2 levels at the time of admission to catheterization laboratory. These findings propose that non-OHCA and OHCA patients with CS could be considered as two individual clinical entities. Abstract Figure. Level of biomarkers OHCA vs. non-OHCA

Abstract Introduction: In patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) complicating an ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), the survival depends largely on the restoration of coronary flow in the infarct related artery. The aim of this study was to determine clinical and angiographic predictors of in-hospital mortality in patients with OHCA and STEMI, successfully resuscitated and undergoing primary percutaneous intervention (PCI).Methods: From January 2013 to July 2015, 78 patients with STEMI presenting OHCA, successfully resuscitated, transferred immediately to the catheterization unit and treated with primary PCI, were analyzed. Clinical, laboratory and angiographic data were compared in 28 non-survivors and 50 survivors.Results: The clinical baseline characteristics of the study population showed no significant differences between the survivors and non-survivors in respect to age (p=0.06), gender (p=0.8), the presence of hypertension (p=0.4), dyslipidemia (p=0.09) obesity (p=1), smoking status (p=0.2), presence of diabetes (p=0.2), a clinical history of acute myocardial infarction (p=0.7) or stroke (p=0.17). Compared to survivors, the non-survivor group exhibited a significantly higher incidence of cardiogenic shock (50% vs 24%, p=0.02), renal failure (64.3% vs 30.0%, p=0.004) and anaemia (35.7% vs 12.0%, p=0.02). Three-vessel disease was significantly higher in the non-survivor group (42.8% vs. 20.0%, p=0.03), while there was a significantly higher percentage of TIMI 3 flow postPCI in the infarct-related artery in the survivor group (80.% vs. 57.1%, p=0.03). The time from the onset of symptoms to revascularization was significantly higher in patients who died compared to those who survived (387.5 +/- 211.3 minutes vs 300.8 +/- 166.1 minutes, p=0.04), as was the time from the onset of cardiac arrest to revascularization (103.0 +/- 56.34 minutes vs 67.0 +/- 44.4 minutes, p=0.002). Multivariate analysis identified the presence of cardiogenic shock (odds ratio [OR]: 3.17, p=0.02), multivessel disease (OR: 3.0, p=0.03), renal failure (OR: 4.2, p=0.004), anaemia (OR: 4.07, p=0.02), need for mechanical ventilation >48 hours (OR: 8.07, p=0.0002) and a duration of stay in the ICU longer than 5 days (OR: 9.96, p=0.0002) as the most significant independent predictors for mortality in patients with OHCA and STEMI.Conclusion: In patients surviving an OHCA in the early phase of a myocardial infarction, the presence of cardiogenic shock, renal failure, anaemia or multivessel disease, as well as a longer time from the onset of symptoms or of cardiac arrest to revascularization, are independent predictors of mortality. However, the most powerful predictor of death is the duration of stay in the ICU and the requirement of mechanical ventilation for more than forty-eight hours.

Background/Aim. Despite considerable progress in terms of early myocardial revascularization and the use of mechanical circulatory support, cardiogenic shock continues to be the leading cause of death in acute myocardial infarction. The current recommendations of the European Society of Cardiology advocate early revascularization of all critical stenosis or highly unstable lesions in the state of cardiogenic shock, while recently published studies favour the early revascularization of the infarct related artery only, in patients with acute myocardial infarction with the ST segment elevation (STEMI) presenting with cardiogenic shock. The aim of the study was to assess the impact of the complete early percutaneous myocardial revascularization in an acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock on intra- hospital mortality. Methods. The research was conducted as a retrospective observational analysis of data obtained from the hospital registry for cardiogenic shock. The study group consisted of 235 patients treated in the period from August 2007 until October 2016 for STEMI complicated by cardiogenic shock. Three groups were formed. The first group consisted of patients with one vessel disease who underwent revascularization of infarct related artery; the second group of patients had multi-vessel disease and only culprit lesions were revascularized and the third one consisted of patients with multi-vessel disease and the complete myocardial revascularization performed. Additional subgroups were formed in reference to the intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) implantation. Intra-hospital mortality was analyzed in all groups and subgroups. Results. Revascularization of the culprit lesion alone among patients with multivessel disease was performed in 142 (60.4%) patients while the complete revascularization (revascularization of ?culprit? and other significant lesions) was performed in 28 (11.9%) patients with multi-vessel disease. There were 65 (27.7%) patients with single-vessel disease who underwent revascularization of infarct related artery. The lowest mortality was found in the group of patients with multi-vessel coronary disease who underwent complete myocardial revascularization and had IABP implanted (mortality was 35.7%). The difference in the mean value of the left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) between the surviving and deceased patients was statistically significant (p < 0.005). The average EF of survivors was 44% (35%?50%) while 30% (25%?39.5%) deceased of patients. Based on the obtained data, the mathematically predictive model was tested. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve showed that our model is a good predictor of fatal outcome (p < 0.0005; AUROC = 0.766) with the sensitivity of 80.3%, and the specificity of 67%. Conclusion. STEMI complicated by cardiogenic shock is still associated with a high mortality rate. Complete myocardial revascularization independently as well as in combination with an IABP, significantly reduces mortality in patients with acute STEMI complicated by cardiogenic shock.
