Background: Post-procedural outcomes associated with the use of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) have not been studied. We aimed to determine the association between ACEI use and adverse cardiovascular/ renal outcomes in these patients. Methods: We performed retrospective analysis of 15,485 consecutive patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention from January 1, 2000 to June 30, 2011. Primary outcome was the incidence of major adverse events (MAE) defined as a composite of mortality, post PCI renal dysfunction, myocardial infarction, and stroke during index hospitalization for PCI. Secondary outcome was the incidence of aforementioned components of MAE analyzed separately. Logistic regression and multivariate analyses were performed. Results: Of the patients undergoing PCI, 6,600 (43%) received pre-PCI ACEI and 8,885 (57%) did not. Patients on ACEI were more likely to be older (64.6 ± 10.9 years vs. 63.6 ± 12.1 years; p<0.0001), have diabetes (41% vs. 26%; p<0.0001), prior renal insufficiency (19% vs. 15%; p<0.0001) and ejection fraction less than 35% (9.6% vs. 7%; p<0.0001). There were no significant associations between pre-operative ACEI use and primary and secondary outcomes (table). Conclusion: Pre-operative ACEI use is not associated with major adverse events in patients undergoing PCI. Key Words: angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor; percutaneous coronary intervention

Abstract Background To study the effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) and angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) on the outcome of hospitalization in patients with hypertension and novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Methods A retrospective analysis was performed in 202 COVID-19 patients who were hospitalized in Thunder-God Hospital, Wuhan from 12 February 2020 to 30 March 2020. According to whether taking ACEI or ARB, 67 (33.0%) patients with hypertension were divided into 3 groups: A, patients received ACEI or ARB after admission (n = 22); B, patients received ACEI or ARB before admission but interrupted after admission (n = 24); and C, patients were not treated with ACEI or ARB before or after admission (n = 21). Changes of therapeutic indicators in all groups of patients and their application relationship with ACEI/ARB were compared and analyzed. Results There were no significant differences in age, gender, blood pressure, underlying disease severity, or serum biochemical indicators (ALT, LDH, creatinine, and creatine kinase levels) at admission among 3 groups (all P &gt; 0.05). During hospitalization, there were no significant differences in COVID-19-related treatment, oxygen use, hospital mortality, recovery and discharge rate, or days of throat swab nucleic acid turning negative among 3 groups (all P &gt; 0.05). The proportion of calcium channel blocker in groups B and C was higher than group A (95.8% and 85.7% vs. 40.9%, P &lt; 0.01), but there was no significant difference in blood pressure or compliance rates at discharge (P &gt; 0.05). Group A, B, and C patients were hospitalized for 27.4 ± 6.4, 30.0 ± 8.8, and 30.1 ± 9.3 days, respectively (all P &gt; 0.05). Compared with admission values, there were no significant differences in serum ALT, LDH, creatinine, or creatine kinase levels among all 3 groups during hospitalization (all P &gt; 0.05). Conclusions ACEI or ARB has no significant effect on the outcome of hospitalization in patients with hypertension and COVID-19.
