SummaryOne hundred patients were included in a randomized open trial to assess the systemic factor Xa (FXa) and thrombin inhibitory effect as well as the safety profile of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) given subcutaneously in conjunction with streptokinase (SK) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI). The treatment was initiated prior to SK, followed by repeated injections every 12 h for 7 days, using a dose of 150 anti-Xa units per kg body weight. The control group received unfractionated heparin (UFH) 12,500 IU subcutaneously every 12 h for 7 days, initiated 4 h after start of SK infusion. All patients received acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) initiated prior to SK.Serial blood samples were collected prior to and during the first 24 h after initiation of SK infusion for determination of prothrombin fragment 1+2 (Fl+2), thrombin-antithrombin III (TAT) complexes, fibrinopeptide A (FPA) and cardiac enzymes. Bleeding complications and adverse events were carefully accounted for.Infarct characteristics, as judged by creatine kinase MB isoenzyme (CK-MB) and cardiac troponin T (cTnT), were similar in both groups of patients.A comparable transient increase in Fl+2, TAT and FPA was noted irrespective of heparin regimen. Increased anti-Xa activity in patients given LMWH prior to thrombolytic treatment had no impact on indices of systemic thrombin activation.The incidence of major bleedings was significantly higher in patients receiving LMWH as compared to patients receiving UFH. However, the occurrence of bleedings was modified after reduction of the initial LMWH dose to 100 anti-Xa units per kg body weight.In conclusion, systemic FXa- and thrombin activity following SK-infusion in patients with acute MI was uninfluenced by conjunctive LMWH treatment.

Aim. This study was designed to evaluate the relationship between microRNAs (miRNAs), miR-126-3p and miR-223-3p, as new biomarkers of platelet activation, and predicting recurrent thrombotic events after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods and Results. The analysis included 598 patients randomized in the PRAGUE-18 study (ticagrelor vs. prasugrel in AMI). The measurements of miRNAs were performed by using a novel miRNA immunoassay method. The association of miRNAs with the occurrence of the ischemic endpoint (EP) (cardiovascular death, nonfatal MI, or stroke) and bleeding were analyzed. The miR-223-3p level was significantly related to an increased risk of occurrence of the ischemic EP within 30 days (odds ratio (OR) = 15.74, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.07–119.93, p = 0.008) and one year (OR = 3.18, 95% CI: 1.40–7.19, p = 0.006), respectively. The miR-126-3p to miR-223-3p ratio was related to a decreased risk of occurrence of EP within 30 days (OR = 0.14, 95% CI: 0.03–0.61, p = 0.009) and one year (OR = 0.37, 95% CI: 0.17–0.82, p = 0.014), respectively. MiRNAs were identified as independent predictors of EP even after adjustment for confounding clinical predictors. Adding miR-223-3p and miR-126-3p to miR-223-3p ratios as predictors into the model calculating the ischemic risk significantly increased the predictive accuracy for combined ischemic EP within one year more than using only clinical ischemic risk parameters. No associations between miRNAs and bleeding complications were identified. Conclusion. The miR-223-3p and the miR-126-3p are promising independent predictors of thrombotic events and can be used for ischemic risk stratification after AMI.

Abstract Background Balancing the intensity and duration of antiplatelet therapy according to thrombotic risk is a fundamental need in order to optimize therapy effectiveness and safety. Incorporation of new predictors in thrombotic risk stratification is therefore of a crucial importance for antiplatelet therapy net clinical benefit. Purpose The present analysis aimed to evaluate the relation of miR-126-3p and miR-223-3p, new markers of platelet activation, in order to facilitate prediction of recurrent thrombotic events after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Method The analysis included 598 patients (age median 62 years, men 77.8%) randomized in the Prague-18 study (ticagrelor vs. prasugrel in AIM treated with primary PCI). During the study follow up, 40.6% of patients switched to clopidogrel. Determination of miR was evaluated 24 hours after admission; miR-126-3p and miR-223-3p were normalized by miR-423-3p and miR-150-5p. Quantitative determination of selected miRNAs was performed with a novel microRNA immunoassay method. Selected miRNAs were compared with key efficacy endpoints (cardiovascular death, nonfatal MI and stroke), stent thrombosis and all hemorrhagic events, and analysed using univariate and multivariate logistic regressions. Results Increased values of miR-223-3p were significantly related to the occurrence of combined ischemic endpoint within 30 days [OR (95% CI) 15.739 (2.066; 119.932) p=0.008] and within one year [3.175 (1.40; 7.186) p=0.006]. Decreased ratio of miR-126-3P/miR-223-3p was significantly related to the occurrence of combined ischemic endpoint within 30 days [0.137 (0.031; 0.609) p=0.009] and one year [0.372 (0.169; 0.819) p=0.014]. MiRNAs were identified as independent predictors even after adjustment for confounding clinical predictors (Study arm, Switch to Clopidogrel, Age, Men, BMI, Smoking, History of Hyperlipidemia, Hypertension, DM, MI, PCI, CABG, Chronic heart failure, Chronic renal failure, Peripheral arterial disease, LBBB, RBBB, TIMI <3 after PCI, Number of diseased vessels >1, Stem disease, Suboptimal of failure of PCI, Time to hospital). Adjusted ORs (95% CI) are 11.828 (1.472; 98.011), p=0.022 and 2.394 (1.021; 5.610), p=0.045 for increased value of miR-223-3p and the occurrence of combined ischemic endpoint within 30 days and one year respectively; 0.151 (0.030; 0.757), p=0.022 and 0.407 (0.179; 0.925), p=0.032 for decreased ratio of miR-126–3P/miR-223-3p and the occurrence of combined ischemic endpoint within 30 days and one year respectively. No association between miRNA and bleeding complications was identified. Conclusion The miR-223-3p and miR-126-3p to miR-223-3p ratio are strong independent predictors of thrombotic ischemic events and can be used to stratify patients post AMI.
