The prevalence of heart failure (HF) due to cardiac remodelling after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) does not decrease regardless of implementation of new technologies supporting opening culprit coronary artery and solving of ischemia-relating stenosis with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Numerous studies have examined the diagnostic and prognostic potencies of circulating cardiac biomarkers in acute coronary syndrome/AMI and heart failure after AMI, and even fewer have depicted the utility of biomarkers in AMI patients undergoing primary PCI. Although complete revascularization at early period of acute coronary syndrome/AMI is an established factor for improved short-term and long-term prognosis and lowered risk of cardiovascular (CV) complications, late adverse cardiac remodelling may be a major risk factor for one-year mortality and postponded heart failure manifestation after PCI with subsequent blood flow resolving in culprit coronary artery. The aim of the review was to focus an attention on circulating biomarker as a promising tool to stratify AMI patients at high risk of poor cardiac recovery and developing HF after successful PCI. The main consideration affects biomarkers of inflammation, biomechanical myocardial stress, cardiac injury and necrosis, fibrosis, endothelial dysfunction, and vascular reparation. Clinical utilities and predictive modalities of natriuretic peptides, cardiac troponins, galectin 3, soluble suppressor tumorogenicity-2, high-sensitive C-reactive protein, growth differential factor-15, midregional proadrenomedullin, noncoding RNAs, and other biomarkers for adverse cardiac remodelling are discussed in the review.

The aim – to create a regional registry of patients who have suffered an acute myocardial infarction (AMI), to determine the frequency of endpoints: death, recurrent myocardial infarction, recurrent coronary angiography (CA), coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), acute cerebrovascular accident (ACVA), bleeding, hospitalization after MI.Materials and methods. 33 centers of Vinnytsya and Vinnytsya region were involved in the study. During the period 2017–2018, 2120 patients of middle age 75.9±7.7 years were included in the register. Among them 1361 (64.2 %) men, middle age 67.5±8.4 years and 759 (35.8 %) women, middle age 76.3±8.2 years. There were 1658 patients with Q-MI and 462 (21.8 %) patients with MI without Q-wave.Results and discussion. It was found that after discharge from the hospital 419 people (13.4 %) did not visit family doctors and cardiologists. Among them were 262 (62.5 %) men and 157 (37.5 %) women. These patients did not differ significantly in gender and age structure from those who were under medical supervision. In both groups, men predominated and there were significantly more people over the age of 60. Twelve months after AMI, 37 (1.7 %) cases of CABG were documented among patients who visited doctors, 29 patients (1.4 %) were diagnosed with ACVA, and 101 patients (4.8 %) were hospitalized for recurrent AMI and 156 people (7.4 %) underwent CA. In patients with interventional AMI treatment tactics, there were significantly fewer cases of recurrent MI (p=0.022), hospitalization (p=0.025) and death (р<0,001) within 12 months. In patients with AMI, an inverse correlation was found between age and mortality, hospitalized bleeding, and CA. The connection between the fact of performing prehospital thrombolysis and hospitalization for heart failure during the year after AMI was determined. There is a negative correlation between CA and hospitalization for heart failure, bleeding that required hospitalization, re-CA and ACVA.Conclusions. Among patients treated for acute coronary syndrome, 13.4 % do not seek outpatient medical care after discharge from the hospital. Among them are significantly more men, people over 60 years old, residents of countryside. Twelve months after AMI, 1.7 % of patients undergo CABG, 1.4 % are diagnosed with ACVA, and 1.7 % have bleeding that requires hospitalization. 25.7 % of patients are re-hospitalized during the year, 9.5 % die. Among patients who undergo emergency CA and coronary artery stenting, there are more people who have CABG and who have been diagnosed with bleeding that requires hospitalization. In this group, there is a significant reduction in cases of recurrent MI, hospitalizations and deaths during the year.

Introduction: N-Terminal pro Brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT-pro BNP) is an important biomarker in the management of patients with heart failure. Several studies reported its importance as a predictor of morbidity and mortality in Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) patients. Aim: To compare serum NT-proBNP levels in Non ST Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome (NSTE-ACS) patients and controls and to assess the relation between Nt-proBNP and the severity of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) in patients with NSTE-ACS including unstable Angina (UA) and Non ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI). Materials and Methods: Sixty NSTE-ACS patients and 20 matched control without significant obstructive CAD were included in the study. Cardiac enzymes, blood urea, serum creatinine, serum NT-proBNP were measured in all patients immediately before coronary angiography. Gensini score and Syntax score were calculated for all study patients. The NSTE-ACS patients were followed-up for six months for Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE) including mortality, myocardial infarction, heart failure, stroke, revascularisation by primary percutaneous coronary intervention or Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG). Results: The mean serum NT-proBNP in NSTE-ACS (UA and NSTEMI) patients was significantly higher (662.7±635.2) pg/mL than that in the control (102.3±96.4) pg/mL, p<0.001. The effective cut-off value for the diagnosis of CAD was 139 pg/mL, Area Under Curve (AUC)=0.950, 95% CI: 0.890-1.00). The serum NT-proBNP was correlated with the severity and complexity of CAD as measured by Gensini score (r=0.496, p<0.001) and Syntax score (r=0.443, p<0.001). The mean value of NT-proBNP in patients with six months MACE was insignificantly higher than in patients without six months MACE with Interquartile Range (IQR) of 418.5 (139-2037) vs. 366 (175-3237) pg/mL, p=0.970. Conclusion: NT-proBNP was correlated with the severity and complexity of CAD in NSTE-ACS with preserved left ventricular systolic function, but it has no impact on six months MACE.

Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of illness and death in older adults. Around 40% to 50% of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) have multiple coronary artery disease. Multiple vessel coronary disease has been shown to improve cardiac outcomes and survival in patients who have undergone complete revascularization (CR) versus patients who have undergone only incomplete revascularization (ICR). When coronary angiography and PCI of the source of the infarction are performed on patients with STEMI, the risk of adverse cardiac death or myocardial infarction is significantly reduced. Additional research is needed to determine the efficacy of PCI of non-critical lesions. However, following procedures such as CABG or PCI, these procedures may be impossible to perform due to a variety of personal, anatomical, technical, and logistical barriers. In this review, we discussed about benefit of complete revascularization in patient acute coronary syndrome (ACS) with multivessel disease and which patient can be performed aggressive revascularization to achieved CR in clinical practice.

Percutaneous x-ray endovascular angioplasty is one of the most modern methods of treatment of severe forms of cardiovascular diseases. In the pathogenesis of acute coronary syndrome, a special place is occupied by the proinflammatory reaction of the body. The main “secondary” marker is interlekin-6. The peak of its production occurs on the first day of damage and correlates with its size. The aim of the study. To investigate the dynamics of interleukin-6 level in the perioperative period of coronary revascularization, depending on the presence of acute coronary syndrome. Materials and methods. This study included 68 patients with coronary artery disease. The patients were divided into three study groups. Group 1 and 2 patients were diagnosed with ACS, and they underwent emergency stenting of coronary vessels in order to recanalize occlusion of the coronary arteries. 3rd group patients did not have ACS and they were recanalized as planned. Results. Analyzing the results of the study, we found that the highest obtained values of IL-6 were in group 1 in comparison with the group of patients who were surgically treated as planned and after stent placement, the interleukin values were 24.8 % higher in group 1 than in group 2 and almost 4 times higher in group 3 (p<0.001). When comparing groups with acute coronary syndrome, interleukin-6 indices were significantly higher by 47.4 % before surgery in group 3 and by 24.9 % after stent placement, which once again confirms the severity of patients with acute myocardial infarction. Conclusions. Intraoperatively proinflammatory interlekin-6 after coronary artery stenting tends to increase in groups with acute coronary syndrome, while in the group with stable angina, these indicators are significantly higher by 22.8 % (p <0.001). The dynamics of Il-6 levels clearly correlates with the severity of the patient's condition and increases in the presence of acute coronary syndrome, especially in the presence of acute myocardial infarction.

Frailty is a marker of poor prognosis in older adults after acute coronary syndrome. We investigated whether cognitive impairment provides additional prognostic information. The study population consisted of a prospective cohort of 342 older (>65 years) adult survivors after acute coronary syndrome. Frailty (Fried score) and cognitive function (Pfeiffer’s Short Portable Mental Status Questionnaire—SPMSQ) were assessed at discharge. The endpoints were mortality or acute myocardial infarction at 8.7-year median follow-up. Patient distribution according to SPMSQ results was: no cognitive impairment (SPMSQ = 0 errors; n = 248, 73%), mild impairment (SPMSQ = 1–2 errors; n = 52, 15%), and moderate to severe impairment (SPMSQ ≥3 errors; n = 42, 12%). A total of 245 (72%) patients died or had an acute myocardial infarction, and 216 (63%) patients died. After adjustment for clinical data, comorbidities, and Fried score, the SPMSQ added prognostic value for death or myocardial infarction (per number of errors; HR = 1.11, 95%, CI 1.04–1.19, p = 0.002) and death (HR = 1.11, 95% 1.03–1.20, p = 0.007). An SPMSQ with ≥3 errors identified the highest risk subgroup. Geriatric conditions (SPSMQ and Fried score) explained 19% and 43% of the overall chi-square of the models for predicting death or myocardial infarction and death, respectively. Geriatric assessment after acute coronary syndrome should include both frailty and cognitive function. This is particularly important given that cognitive impairment without dementia can be subclinical and thus remain undetected.
