Introduction: Ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) portends a poor prognosis during long-term follow-up and has been identified as an independent predictor of heart failure (HF) and reduced long-term survival. Despite the poor prognosis with chronic IMR, few studies report the impact of IMR on long-term prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: We studied 674 consecutive patients with AMI from 2000 to 2006 who underwent emergent coronary angiography and primary PCI, and who were assessed by transthoracic echocardiography during index hospitalization. Primary outcomes were cardiac death and the development of HF during follow-up. Results: The mean age of the study patients was 65±12 years and 534 patients (79%) were men. Sixty patients (9%) had moderate or severe MR before hospital discharge. Patients with moderate or severe MR were older, more frequently non-smoker, and more likely to have Killip class ≥2, lower ejection fraction, larger left ventricular end-diastolic volume, compared with patients with no or mild MR. During the mean follow-up period of 5.7±3.6 years, 35 cardiac deaths and 53 episodes of HF occurred. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that patients with moderate or severe MR had significantly increased risk for cardiac death (P<0.001), and HF (P<0.001), compared with patients with no or mild MR. Multivariate analysis revealed that moderate or severe MR was the significant predictor of the development of cardiac death (P<0.001), and the development of HF (P=0.006), independently of age, gender, history of MI, Killip class ≥2, initial TIMI flow≤1, peak CPK level, ejection fraction. Conclusions: Moderate or severe IMR detected early after AMI was independently associated with adverse cardiac events during long-term follow-up in patients with AMI after primary PCI.

Abstract Background Successful recanalisation of percutaneous coronary intervention for chronic total occlusion lesions has been associated with improved survival. Purpose This study aimed to assess the impact of successful percutaneous coronary intervention for chronic total occlusion lesions on the long-term outcome of patients with impaired and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Methods The study sample consisted of 842 consecutive patients (928 chronic total occlusion lesions) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention at our institution between October 2005 and December 2009. We divided them into 3 groups by the degree of LVEF: less than 40% (severely reduced LVEF, n=140), 40% to 59% (moderately reduced LVEF, n=470), and 60% and above (normal LVEF, n=232). We evaluated mortality during the 10-year follow-up period the basis of procedural success and failure. Results The overall procedural success rate was 89.1%. Median follow-up duration was 7.9 years. The 10-year cumulative incidences of cardiac death in each degree of LVEF are shown in the Figure. Conclusions Successful recanalisation for chronic total occlusion lesions in patients with impaired LVEF may be associated with reduced cardiac mortality.

Abstract Introduction The CARISMA trial was the first study to use continuous monitoring for documentation of long-term arrhythmias in post-infarction patients with left ventricular dysfunction. During the study duration (2000–2005), primary PCI (pPCI) as treatment of acute myocardial infarction was introduced approximately midway (2002) on the enrolling centres. Purpose The aim of this study was to describe the influence of mode of revascularization after myocardial infarction (AMI) on long-term risk of risk of new onset atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachyarrhythmias and brady arrhythmias. Methods The study is a sub-study on the CARISMA study population that consisted of patients with AMI and left ventricular ejection fraction ≤40%, which received an implantable loop recorder and was followed for 2 years. After exclusion of 15 patients who refused device implantation and 26 with pre-existing arrhythmias, 268 of the 312 patients were included. Choice of revascularization was made by the treating team independently of the trial and was retrospectively divided into primary percutaneous intervention (pPCI), subacute PCI (24 hours to 2 weeks after AMI), primary thrombolysis or no revascularization. Endpoints were new-onset of arrhythmias and major cardiovascular events (MACE). The Kaplan-Meier (figure 1) and Mantel-Byar methods were used for time to first event risk analysis. Results A total of 77 patients received no revascularization, whereas 49 received thrombolysis only and 142 received PCI. At two-years follow up patients treated with any PCI had a significant lower risk (0.40, n=63) of any arrhythmia compared to patients treated with trombolysis (0.60, n=30) or no revascularization (0.68, n=16) (p<0.001, unadjusted) (figure 1). Risk of MACE was significant higher in patients with any arrhythmia (0.25, n=76) compared to no arrhythmia (0.11, n=93) at two years follow-up (p=0.004, unadjusted). Figure 1 Conclusion(s) The long-term risk of new onset arrhythmias after AMI was significantly lower in patients treated with any PCI compared to patients not revascularized or treated with thrombolysis. Risk of MACE was significantly higher in patients with new onset arrhythmias compared to patients with no arrhythmias.

Abstract Background Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) presents a relevant alternative to coronary bypass surgery for the treatment of patients with complex coronary artery disease and high perioperative risk. By temporary implantation of a percutaneous ventricular assist devices (pVAD) interventionalists attempt to anticipate the hemodynamic risk of those high-risk patients in a so-called protected PCI. The Impella® system presents the currently most common device for protected PCI and could show hemodynamic stability in earlier trials. Methods This study is a retrospective, observational multi-center registry of ten hospitals in Germany. We included patients undergoing protected high-risk PCI with Impella® support. The primary endpoint was defined as major adverse cardiac events (MACE) during a 180-day follow-up and consisted of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke. Results Six of the participating hospitals performed a follow-up. In total, 157 patients (80.3% male; mean age 71.8±10.8 years) were included in the present study. Prior to PCI, median left ventricular ejection fraction was 39.0% (25.0%-50.0%) and median SYNTAX-Score I was 33.0 (24.0–40.5). The 180-day follow-up was available for 149 patients (94.9%). Eight patients (5.1%) were lost to follow-up. During the follow-up period, 34 patients (22.8%) suffered from a MACE. A total of 27 patients (18.1%) died. Nine patients (6.0%) sustained a MI, while 4 patients (2.7%) had a stroke. Kaplan-Meier curves for primary endpoint Conclusions Patients undergoing protected high-risk PCI with Impella® support show a good 180-day clinical outcome regarding rates of MACE and mortality. However, a head-to-head comparison of Impella supported patients to protected PCI with other pVADs is pending.

Aim To study a relationship of several factors (clinical and genetical markers) with unfavorable outcomes in patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) in long-term follow-up.Material and methods This full-design, prospective study included 415 patients with NSTE-ACS. 266 patients were evaluated for the presence of multifocal atherosclerosis (MFA). Typing of polymorphic variants rs1041981 LTA, rs1800629 TNF, rs4986790, and rs498679 TLR4, and also rs3024491 and rs1800872 IL10 was performed. Follow-up period lasted for 67±4 months. By the end of this period, information about clinical outcomes for 396 patients became available.Results During the entire follow-up period, unfavorable outcomes were observed in 239 (57.5 %) patients with NSTE-ACS. The following clinical signs were associated with unfavorable outcomes: history of myocardial infarction, age >56 years, left ventricular ejection fraction (LV EF) ≤50 % and GRACE score ≥100, significant stenosis of brachiocephalic arteries, MFA, carriage of genotype А / А rs1041981 LTA (OR, 6.1; р=0.02) and allele А (OR, 1.9; р=0.01). According to results of a multifactorial analysis, the most significant predictors included LV EF <50 %, MFA, and carriage of genotype А / А rs1041981 LTA.Conclusion Stratification of patients with NSTE-ACS into groups of high or low risk for having an unfavorable outcome within the next 6 years is possible using the prognostic model developed and presented in this study. The model includes the following signs: LV EF <50 %, MFA, and carriage of genotype А / А rs1041981 LTA.
