AbstractObjectiveTo evaluate the prognosis of unrecognised myocardial infarction determined by electrocardiography (UMI-ECG) or cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (UMI-CMR).DesignSystematic review and meta-analysis of prospective studies.Data sourcesElectronic databases, including PubMed, Embase, and Google Scholar.Study selectionProspective cohort studies were included if they reported adjusted relative risks, odds ratios, or hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals for all cause mortality or cardiovascular outcomes in participants with unrecognised myocardial infarction compared with those without myocardial infarction.Data extraction and synthesisThe primary outcomes were composite major adverse cardiac events, all cause mortality, and cardiovascular mortality associated with UMI-ECG and UMI-CMR. The secondary outcomes were the risks of recurrent coronary heart disease or myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure, and atrial fibrillation. Pooled hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals were reported. The heterogeneity of outcomes was compared in clinically recognised and unrecognised myocardial infarction.ResultsThe meta-analysis included 30 studies with 253 425 participants and 1 621 920 person years of follow-up. UMI-ECG was associated with increased risks of all cause mortality (hazard ratio 1.50, 95% confidence interval 1.30 to 1.73), cardiovascular mortality (2.33, 1.66 to 3.27), and major adverse cardiac events (1.61, 1.38 to 1.89) compared with the absence of myocardial infarction. UMI-CMR was also associated with increased risks of all cause mortality (3.21, 1.43 to 7.23), cardiovascular mortality (10.79, 4.09 to 28.42), and major adverse cardiac events (3.23, 2.10 to 4.95). No major heterogeneity was observed for any primary outcomes between recognised myocardial infarction and UMI-ECG or UMI-CMR. The absolute risk differences were 7.50 (95% confidence interval 4.50 to 10.95) per 1000 person years for all cause mortality, 11.04 (5.48 to 18.84) for cardiovascular mortality, and 27.45 (17.1 to 40.05) for major adverse cardiac events in participants with UMI-ECG compared with those without myocardial infarction. The corresponding data for UMI-CMR were 32.49 (6.32 to 91.58), 37.2 (11.7 to 104.20), and 51.96 (25.63 to 92.04), respectively.ConclusionsUMI-ECG or UMI-CMR is associated with an adverse long term prognosis similar to that of recognised myocardial infarction. Screening for unrecognised myocardial infarction could be useful for risk stratification among patients with a high risk of cardiovascular disease.

Abstract Background Increased uric acid levels have been known to be associated with different cardiovascular and renal diseases.  Over the last few years, several studies have examined the role of urate-lowering therapy (ULT) in hypertension and Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE) and results are pointing to a potential role of elevated serum uric acid as an emerging independent cardiovascular risk factor. Objective  To determine if urate-lowering therapy (Febuxostat vs Allopurinol) has an association on blood pressure and MACE among adult patients with hyperuricemia. Methodology Randomized controlled trials with outcomes of blood pressure, all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, and stroke were searched through PubMed and Cochrane database. Results Pooled analysis of studies on hyperuricemic patients showed that Febuxostat 40 mg has no significant difference compared with Allopurinol 100/300mg with respect to lowering diastolic (MD -0.56 with 95% CI of -4.28 to 3.15) and systolic blood pressure (MD -0.72 with 95% CI of -4.87 to 6.31).  No significant differences were also noted on all-cause mortality (OR 1.21 with 95% CI of 0.35 to 4.12) and myocardial infarction (MI) (OR 1.38 with 95% CI of 0.19 to 9.94). Outcomes on non-fatal stroke were only reported by Becker, et. al (2010) with only 2 events reported in the Febuxostat 80 mg group (0.26%) and no event in the Allopurinol group (CI= 0.082 to 1.155). Conclusion The results of this meta-analysis showed that urate-lowering therapy (Febuxostat vs Allopurinol) has no significant association on blood pressure among adult patients with hyperuricemia.  No significant association was also found with respect to all-cause mortality and MI. Outcomes on stroke were inconclusive since only one study reported on its events.

BackgroundPatients with schizophrenia are a high-risk population due to higher prevalences of cardiovascular risk factors and comorbidities that contribute to shorter life expectancy.PurposeTo investigate patients with and without schizophrenia experiencing an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in relation to guideline recommended in-hospital management, discharge medications and 5-year major adverse cardiac events (MACE: composite of all-cause mortality, rehospitalisation for reinfarction, stroke or heart failure).MethodsAll patients with schizophrenia who experienced AMI during 2000–2018 were identified (n=1008) from the nationwide Swedish Web-system for Enhancement and Development of Evidence-based care in Heart disease Evaluated According to Recommended Therapies registry and compared with AMI patients without schizophrenia (n=2 85 325). Kaplan-Meier survival curves and multivariable Cox regression models were used to compare the populations.ResultsPatients with schizophrenia presented with AMI approximately 10 years earlier (median age 64 vs 73 years), and had higher prevalences of diabetes, heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. They were less likely to be invasively investigated or discharged with aspirin, P2Y12 inhibitors, ACE inhibitors/angiotensin II receptor blockers, beta-blockers and statins (all p<0.005). AMI patients with schizophrenia had higher adjusted risk of MACE (aHR=2.05, 95% CI 1.63 to 2.58), mortality (aHR=2.38, 95% CI 1.84 to 3.09) and hospitalisation for heart failure (aHR=1.39, 95% CI 1.04 to 1.86) compared with AMI patients without schizophrenia.ConclusionPatients with schizophrenia experienced an AMI almost 10 years earlier than patients without schizophrenia. They less often underwent invasive procedures and were less likely to be treated with guideline recommended medications at discharge, and had more than doubled risk of MACE and all-cause mortality. Improved primary and secondary preventive measures, including adherence to guideline recommendations, are warranted and may improve outcome.

Abstract Aims The aim of this study was to describe the use of antithrombotic therapy following a bleeding event among patients with myocardial infarction (MI), and the associated risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACE). Methods and results Using Danish nationwide registries, patients hospitalized with a bleeding event within 1 year after MI were identified. Antithrombotic treatment with aspirin, clopidogrel, and/or vitamin K antagonists (VKA) was determined at the bleeding and at Day 90 and 180 post-bleed. Based on guidelines, patients were stratified into four groups: expected, reduced, discontinued, or intensified treatment. Risk of MACE (ischaemic stroke, MI, or death) within the first year was assessed by Cox proportional hazard models. A total of 3324 patients with a bleeding after MI were included. At Day 90 post-bleed, 1052 (31.7%) received expected antithrombotic treatment, 1301 (39.2%) reduced, 164 (4.9%) intensified, and 807 (24.3%) no treatment. Major adverse cardiac events occurred in 637 (19.2%) patients. With dual antiplatelet therapy as reference, adjusted hazard ratios for MACE were: aspirin 1.81 (1.06–3.09), clopidogrel 1.08 (0.64–1.82), VKA 1.08 (0.47–2.48), VKA + aspirin 1.97 (0.95–4.07), VKA + clopidogrel 0.26 (0.03–1.91), triple 1.73 (0.50–5.95), and no treatment 1.93 (1.11–3.36). Conclusion The majority of MI patients reduced or discontinued their antithrombotic therapy post-bleed. Patients in monotherapy with aspirin or no treatment post-bleed had a higher risk of MACE Further studies of optimal antithrombotic treatments after a bleed are needed.

Abstract Background Unrecognized myocardial infarction (UMI) has been reported to be strongly associated with worse outcome in patients with cardiovascular disease. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is a useful instrument for the assessment of pathological and functional conditions. Purpose This study sought to evaluate the prognostic value of the presence of unrecognized non-infarct-related late gadolinium enhancement (non-IR LGE) evaluated by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in patients presenting with a first acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods We studied 311 AMI patients including 213 STEMI and 98 NSTEMI patients without the history of prior MI who underwent uncomplicated primary or emergent PCI within 48 hours of symptom onset between October, 2012 and June, 2017. CMR images were acquired at 28 [21, 32] days after primary/emergent PCI. UMI was defined as having LGE separately in the different and remote area from the perfused territory by infarct-related artery. In case of multiple LGE areas of infarction, the coronary angiography findings were used to support identification of the area corresponding to the culprit artery of AMI. The association of CMR variables and other clinical characteristics with major adverse cardiac events (cardiac death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke) were investigated. Results Forty-six patients (14.8%) showed UMI defined by the presence of non-IR LGE (27 STEMI and 19 NSTEMI). During the follow up for 830 [385, 1309] days, cardiovascular death occurred in 7 patients (2.3%), and non-fatal MI and non-fatal stroke occurred in 10 and 1 patients, respectively (3.2%, 0.3%, respectively). There was no significant difference in the prevalence of UMI and incidence of MACE between the patients with STEMI and NSTEMI (p=0.13, p=0.11, respectively). Event-free survival was significantly worse in patients with UMI (log-rank χ2=16.3, P=0.001) in a total cohort. Cox proportional hazards analysis showed that UMI was independent predictors of adverse cardiac events during follow-up in patients with first MI (hazard ratio, 7.60, 95% confidence interval, 2.78–20.8, p=0.0001). Conclusions In first AMI patients, UMI defined by non-IR LGE obtained by noninvasive CMR provides significant prognostic information. Early detection of UMI by CMR may help risk stratification of patients with AMI and support adjunctive aggressive patient management such as strong statin therapy and life style intervention.

Introduction: Impact of an invasive approach in patients with cocaine associated non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (CANSTEMI) is unknown. Hypothesis: To determine the effects of an invasive approach on patients with CANSTEMI. Methods: Nationwide Readmissions Database (NRD) from years 2016-2017 was utilized for hypothesis. We utilized ICD-10 CM codes I21.4 in primary diagnosis field and F14 in secondary fields to identify CANSTEMI. Coronary angiogram (CA) with or without percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was considered an invasive approach. The primary outcome was a composite of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) at one year. Secondary outcomes included all-cause mortality, MI readmission, stroke readmission, and emergent revascularization at one year. Cox-Proportional Hazard regression was used to adjust for demographic and comorbid confounders. Results: A total of 7,372 patients were identified of which 4,332 (58.8%) underwent invasive treatment. Patients with obesity, hyperlipidemia, tobacco use, and a personal and family history of CAD were more likely to undergo an invasive approach. Conversely, patients with CKD stage 3 or more and anemia were less likely to undergo invasive treatment. The primary outcome was significantly reduced with an invasive approach compared to a non-invasive approach. Similarly, all-cause mortality and MI readmission were also significantly reduced with an invasive approach. An invasive approach was associated with increased emergent revascularization compared to a noninvasive approach. On further stratification of an invasive approach, CA and PCI both were individually associated with improved MACE outcomes and PCI only was associated with increased emergent revascularization. Conclusions: In conclusion, an invasive approach with CA with or without PCI for CANSTEMI was associated with reductions in morbidity and mortality. PCI only was associated with an increase in emergent revascularization.

Background and objectives: In this study, we aimed to evaluate whether the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) has a prognostic value for major adverse cardiac events (MACEs), including stroke, re-hospitalization, and short-term all-cause mortality at 6 months, in aortic stenosis (AS) patients who underwent transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Materials and Methods: A total of 120 patients who underwent TAVI due to severe AS were retrospectively included in our study. The main outcome of the study was MACEs and short-term all-cause mortality at 6 months. Results: The SII was found to be higher in TAVI patients who developed MACEs than in those who did not develop them. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that the SII (HR: 1.002, 95%CI: 1.001–1.003, p < 0.01) was an independent predictor of MACEs in AS patients after TAVI. The optimal value of the SII for MACEs in AS patients following TAVI was >1.056 with 94% sensitivity and 96% specificity (AUC (the area under the curve): 0.960, p < 0.01). We noted that the AUC value of SII in predicting MACEs was significantly higher than the AUC value of the C-reactive protein (AUC: 0.960 vs. AUC: 0.714, respectively). Conclusions: This is the first study to show that high pre-procedural SII may have a predictive value for MACEs and short-term mortality in AS patients undergoing TAVI.

Abstract EDITOR’S PERSPECTIVE What We Already Know about This Topic The incidence of major adverse cardiac events after electroconvulsive therapy is not known What This Article Tells Us That Is New Major adverse cardiac events and death after electroconvulsive therapy are infrequent and occur in about 1 of 50 patients and after about 1 of 200 to 500 electroconvulsive therapy treatments Background Cardiac events after electroconvulsive therapy have been reported sporadically, but a systematic assessment of the risk is missing. The goal of this study was to obtain a robust estimate of the incidence of major adverse cardiac events in adult patients undergoing electroconvulsive therapy. Methods Systematic review and meta-analysis of studies that investigated electroconvulsive therapy and reported major adverse cardiac events and/or mortality. Endpoints were incidence rates of major adverse cardiac events, including myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, pulmonary edema, pulmonary embolism, acute heart failure, and cardiac arrest. Additional endpoints were all-cause and cardiac mortality. The pooled estimated incidence rates and 95% CIs of individual major adverse cardiac events and mortality per 1,000 patients and per 1,000 electroconvulsive therapy treatments were calculated. Results After screening of 2,641 publications and full-text assessment of 284 studies, the data of 82 studies were extracted (total n = 106,569 patients; n = 786,995 electroconvulsive therapy treatments). The most commonly reported major adverse cardiac events were acute heart failure, arrhythmia, and acute pulmonary edema with an incidence (95% CI) of 24 (12.48 to 46.13), 25.83 (14.83 to 45.00), and 4.92 (0.85 to 28.60) per 1,000 patients or 2.44 (1.27 to 4.69), 4.66 (2.15 to 10.09), and 1.50 (0.71 to 3.14) per 1,000 electroconvulsive therapy treatments. All-cause mortality was 0.42 (0.11 to 1.52) deaths per 1,000 patients and 0.06 (0.02 to 0.23) deaths per 1,000 electroconvulsive therapy treatments. Cardiac death accounted for 29% (23 of 79) of deaths. Conclusions Major adverse cardiac events and death after electroconvulsive therapy are infrequent and occur in about 1 of 50 patients and after about 1 of 200 to 500 electroconvulsive therapy treatments.
