Background. Chronological age (CA) is not a perfect proxy for the true biological aging status of the body. A new biological aging measure, phenotypic age (PhenoAge), has been shown to capture morbidity and mortality risk in the general US population and diverse subpopulations. This study was aimed at evaluating the association between PhenoAge and long-term outcome of patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods. A total of 609 multivessel CAD patients who received PCI attempt and with follow-up were enrolled. The clinical outcome was all-cause mortality on follow-up. PhenoAge was calculated using an equation constructed from CA and 9 clinical biomarkers. Cox proportional hazards regression models and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were performed to evaluate the association between PhenoAge and mortality. Results. Overall, patients with more diseases had older PhenoAge and phenotypic age acceleration (PhenoAgeAccel). After a median follow-up of 33.5 months, those with positive PhenoAgeAccel had a significantly higher incidence of all-cause mortality ( P = 0.001 ). After adjusting for CA, Cox proportional hazards models showed that both PhenoAge and PhenoAgeAccel were significantly associated with all-cause mortality. Even after further adjusting for confounding factors, each 10-year increase in PhenoAge was also associated with a 51% increased mortality risk. ROC curves revealed that PhenoAge, with an area under the curve of 0.705, significantly outperformed CA, the individual clinical chemistry measure, and other risk factors. When reexamining the ROC curves using various combinations of variables, we found that PhenoAge provides additional predictive power to all models. Conclusions. In conclusion, PhenoAge was strongly associated with all-cause mortality even after adjusting for CA. Our findings suggest that PhenoAge measure may be complementary in predicting mortality risk for patients with multivessel CAD.

Introduction: The atherogenicity of residual cholesterol (RC) has been underlined by recent guidelines, which was linked to coronary artery disease (CAD), especially for patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Hypothesis: This study aimed to examine the prognostic value of plasma RC, clinically presented as triglyceride-rich lipoprotein-cholesterol (TRL-C) or remnant-like lipoprotein particles-cholesterol (RLP-C), in CAD patients with different glucose metabolism status. Methods: Fasting plasma TRL-C and RLP-C levels were directly calculated or measured in 4331 patients with CAD. Patients were followed for incident MACEs for up to 8.6 years and categorized according to both glucose metabolism status [DM, pre-DM, normal glycaemia regulation (NGR)] and RC levels. Cox proportional hazards model was used to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals. Results: During a mean follow-up of 5.1 years, 541 (12.5%) MACEs occurred. The risk for MACEs was significantly higher in patients with elevated RC levels after adjustment for potential confounders. No significant difference in MACEs was observed between pre-DM and NGR groups (p>0.05). When stratified by status of glucose metabolism and RC levels, highest levels of RLP-C, calculated and measured TRL-C were significant and independent predictors of developing MACEs in pre-DM (HR: 2.10, 1.98, 1.92, respectively; all p<0.05) and DM (HR: 2.25, 2.00, 2.16, respectively; all p<0.05). Conclusions: In this large cohort study with long-term follow-up, data firstly demonstrated that higher RC levels were significantly associated with the worse prognosis in DM and pre-DM patients with CAD, suggesting RC might be a target for patients with impaired glucose metabolism.

Background The long‐term impact of newly discovered, asymptomatic abnormal ankle–brachial index (ABI) in patients with significant coronary artery disease is limited. Methods and Results Between January 2006 and December 2009, ABI was evaluated in 2424 consecutive patients with no history of claudication or peripheral artery disease who had significant coronary artery disease. We previously reported a 3‐year result; therefore, the follow‐up period was extended. The primary end point was a composite of all‐cause death, myocardial infarction (MI), and stroke over 7 years. Of the 2424 patients with significant coronary artery disease, 385 had an abnormal ABI (ABI ≤0.9 or ≥1.4). During the follow‐up period, the rate of the primary outcome was significantly higher in the abnormal ABI group than in the normal ABI group ( P <0.001). The abnormal ABI group had a significantly higher risk of composite of all‐cause death/MI/stroke than the normal ABI group, after adjustment with multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analysis (hazard ratio [HR], 2.07; 95% CI, 1.67–2.57; P <0.001) and propensity score–matched analysis (HR, 1.97; 95% CI, 1.49–2.60; P <0.001). In addition, an abnormal ABI was associated with a higher risk of all‐cause death, MI, and stroke, but not repeat revascularization. Conclusions Among patients with significant coronary artery disease, asymptomatic abnormal ABI was associated with sustained and increased incidence of composite of all‐cause death/MI/stroke, all‐cause death, MI, and stroke during extended follow‐up over 7 years.

Background: Although glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was considered as a prognostic factor in some subgroup of coronary artery disease (CAD), the specific relationship between HbA1c and the long-term all-cause death remains controversial in patients with CAD.Methods: The study enrolled 37,596 CAD patients and measured HbAlc at admission in Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital. The patients were divided into 4 groups according to HbAlc level (Quartile 1: HbA1c ≤ 5.7%; Quartile 2: 5.7% &lt; HbA1c ≤ 6.1%; Quartile 3: 6.1% &lt; HbA1c ≤ 6.7%; Quartile 4: HbA1c &gt; 6.7%). The study endpoint was all-cause death. The restricted cubic splines and cox proportional hazards models were used to investigate the association between baseline HbAlc levels and long-term all-cause mortality.Results: The median follow-up was 4 years. The cox proportional hazards models revealed that HbAlc is an independent risk factor in the long-term all-cause mortality. We also found an approximate U-shape association between HbA1c and the risk of mortality, including increased risk of mortality when HbA1c ≤ 5.7% and HbA1c &gt; 6.7% [Compared with Quartile 2, Quartile 1 (HbA1c ≤ 5.7), aHR = 1.13, 95% CI:1.01–1.26, P &lt; 0.05; Quartile 3 (6.1% &lt; HbA1c ≤ 6.7%), aHR = 1.04, 95% CI:0.93–1.17, P =0.49; Quartile 4 (HbA1c &gt; 6.7%), aHR = 1.32, 95% CI:1.19–1.47, P &lt; 0.05].Conclusions: Our study indicated a U-shape relationship between HbA1c and long-term all-cause mortality in CAD patients.

Abstract Background Malnutrition is the important factor to cause frailty and sarcopenia which affect the prognosis of cardiovascular diseases. However, the effect of malnutrition on prognosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with myocardial damage is still uncertain. Purpose The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of malnutrition on prognosis of CAD patients with myocardial damage who received percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods The subjects were 241 CAD patients with myocardial damage due to myocardial ischemia by coronary artery stenosis or occlusion. These patients underwent successful revascularization for CAD by PCI using second-generation drug eluting stents and discharged. Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) was used to assess nutritional status in this study, and patients with GNRI<92 at baseline were defined as malnutrition group. The association between MACCE (major cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events) after discharged and patient's characteristics including nutritional status at baseline were assessed. Results The mean follow-up period was 546±310 days, with a maximum follow-up duration of 1092 days. MACCE within 3 years after PCI were 42 cases (17%) and malnutrition group had high rate of MACCE (38 vs. 11%, P<0.01) compared with non- malnutrition group. In malnutrition group, age (77±9 vs. 67±11 years, P<0.01) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) level (5.52±6.63 vs. 0.72±1.86 mg/dl, P<0.01) were higher than those of non-malnutrition group. The serum albumin (Alb) level (3.0±0.5 vs. 4.0±0.4 mg/dL, P<0.01), hemoglobin (Hb) (10.4±1.9 vs. 12.8±2.4 g/dL, P<0.01), total cholesterol (151.8±32 vs. 174.1±41.6 mg/dL, P<0.01), triglycerides (96.9±49.1 vs. 140.6±128.3 mg/dL, P<0.01), and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (50.2±15.9 vs. 55.9±15.3%, P=0.03) were lower in malnutrition group than those in non-malnutrition group. Moreover, malnutrition group had lower rate of hemodialysis (HD) (35 vs. 65%, P<0.01), dyslipidemia (16 vs. 84%, P<0.01) and using of statins (16 vs. 83%, P=0.02) than those in non-malnutrition group. As a result of Cox proportional hazards analysis, MACCE was associated with age [hazard ratio (HR): 1.04, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.01–1.07, p p<0.01)], hs-CRP (HR: 1.08, 95% CI: 1.03–1.11, p<0.01), HD (HR: 2.63, 95% CI: 1.51–4.58, p<0.01) and malnutrition (HR: 3.69, 95% CI: 2.11–6.42, p<0.01) in the univariate analysis. The multivariate Cox proportional hazards analysis revealed that HD (HR: 2.24, 95% CI: 1.24–4.08, p<0.01) and malnutrition (HR: 2.10, 95% CI: 1.04–4.23, p=0.03) were significantly associated with MACCE. Furthermore, malnutrition additively facilitated incidence of MACCE among patients underwent HD (GNRI <92+HD: HR 4.19, 95% CI: 2.22–7.88, p<0.001, GNRI >92+HD: HR 1.26, 95% CI: 0.65–2.47, p=0.493). Conclusions In CAD patients with myocardial damage, malnutrition (GNRI<92) is a major risk factor for MACCE after PCI.

Abstract Context The patterns of associations between glycated Hb (HbA1c) and mortality are still unclear. Objective To explore the extent to which ranges of HbA1c levels are associated with the risk of mortality among participants with and without diabetes. Design, Setting, and Patients This was a nationwide, community-based prospective cohort study. Included were 15,869 participants (median age 64 years) of the Health and Retirement Study, with available HbA1c data and without a history of cancer. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to estimate hazard ratios with 95% CIs for mortality. Results A total of 2133 participants died during a median follow-up of 5.8 years. In participants with diabetes, those with an HbA1c level of 6.5% were at the lowest risk of all-cause mortality. When HbA1c level was &lt;5.6% or &gt;7.4%, the increased all-cause mortality risk became statistically significant as compared with an HbA1c level of 6.5%. As for participants without diabetes, those with an HbA1c level of 5.4% were at the lowest risk of all-cause mortality. When the HbA1c level was &lt;5.0%, the increased all-cause mortality risk became statistically significant as compared with an HbA1c level of 5.4%. However, we did not observe a statistically significant elevated risk of all-cause mortality above an HbA1c level of 5.4%. Conclusions A U-shaped and reverse J-shaped association for all-cause mortality was found among participants with and without diabetes. The corresponding optimal ranges for overall survival are predicted to be 5.6% and 7.4% and 5.0% and 6.5%, respectively.

Abstract Having more years of education is independently associated with lower mortality, but it is unclear whether other attributes of schooling matter. We examined the association of high school quality and all-cause mortality across race/ethnicity. In 1960, about 5% of US high schools participated in Project Talent (PT), which collected information about students and their schools. Over 21,000 PT respondents were followed for mortality into their eighth decade of life using the National Death Index. A school quality factor, capturing term length, class size, and teacher qualifications, was used as the main predictor. First, we estimated overall and sex-stratified Cox proportional hazards models with standard errors clustered at the school level, adjusting for age, sex, composite measure of parental socioeconomic status, and 1960 cognitive ability. Second, we added an interaction between school quality and race/ethnicity. Among this diverse cohort (60% non-Hispanic Whites, 23% non-Hispanic Blacks, 7% Hispanics, 10% classified as another race/s) there were 3,476 deaths (16.5%). School quality was highest for Hispanic respondents and lowest for non-Hispanic Blacks. Non-Hispanic Blacks also had the highest mortality risk. In the whole sample, school quality was not associated with mortality risk. However, higher school quality was associated with lower mortality among those classified as another race/s (HR 0.75, 95% CI: 0.56-0.99). For non-Hispanic Blacks and Whites, the HR point estimates were unreliable, but suggest that higher school quality is associated with increased mortality. Future work will disentangle these differences in association of school quality across race/ethnicity and examine cause-specific mortality.

Objectives: To investigate whether serum fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) levels can be used to predict the future development of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). Methods: This study included 253 patients who received subsequent follow-up, and complete data were collected for 234 patients. Independent predictors of MACEs were identified by using the Cox proportional-hazards regression analysis. The prognostic value of FGF21 levels for MACEs was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. Results: Of 229 patients finally enrolled in the analysis, 27/60 without coronary artery disease (CAD) at baseline experienced a MACE, and 132/169 patients with CAD at baseline experienced a MACE. Among patients with CAD at baseline, serum FGF21 levels were significantly higher in patients with MACEs (p < 0.05) than in patients without MACEs. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed patients with a higher serum FGF21 had a significantly lower event-free survival (p = 0.001) than those with a lower level. Further Cox proportional-hazards regression analysis, including the traditional risk factors for cardiovascular disease, showed that serum FGF21 was an independent predictor of MACE occurrence. Conclusions: In patients with CAD at baseline, an elevated serum FGF21 level was associated with the development of a MACE in the future.

Introduction: Heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (heFH) is characterized by high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and increased risk for premature coronary artery disease (CAD) and death. Reduction of CAD and mortality by statins has not been properly quantified in heFH. The aim of the current study is to determine the effect of statins on CAD and mortality in heFH. Methods: All adult heFH patients identified by the Dutch FH screening program between 1994 and 2014 and registered in the PHARMO Database Network were eligible. Of these patients we obtained hospital, pharmacy (in- and outpatient), and mortality records in the period between 1995 and 2015. The effect of statins (time-varying) on CAD and all-cause mortality was determined using a Cox proportional hazard model, while correcting for the use of other lipid-lowering therapy, thrombocyte aggregation inhibitors, antihypertensive and antidiabetic medication (all time-varying). Furthermore, we used inverse probability for treatment weighting (IPTW) to account for differences between statin-treated and untreated patients regarding history of CAD before follow-up, age at start of follow-up and age of screening, as well as body mass index, LDL-C and triglycerides. Results: Of the 25,479 identified heFH patients, 11,021 gave informed consent to obtain their medical records, of whom 2,447 could be retrieved. We excluded 766 patients younger than 18. The remaining 1,681 heFH patients comprised our study population and these had very similar characteristics as compared to the 23,798 excluded FH patients, e.g. mean (SD) LDL-C levels were 214 (74) vs. 203 (77) mg/dL. Among 1,151 statin users, there were 133 CAD events and 15 deaths during 10,115 statin treated person-years, compared to 17 CAD events and 9 deaths during 4,965 person-years in 530 never statin users (combined rate: 14.6 vs. 5.2, respectively, p<0.001). After applying IPTW to account for indication bias and correcting for use of other medications, the hazard ratio of statin use for CAD and all-cause mortality was 0.61 (0.40 - 0.93). Conclusions: In heFH patients, statins lower the risk for CAD and mortality by 39%.

Background: Little is known about the association between coronary artery disease (CAD) and the risk of heart failure (HF) after myocardial infarction (MI), and whether it differs by reduced (HFrEF) or preserved (HFpEF) ejection fraction (EF) has yet to be determined. Subjects and Methods: Olmsted County, Minnesota residents (n=1,924; mean age, 64 years; 66% male) with first MI diagnosed in 1990-2010 and no prior HF were followed through 2013. Framingham Heart Study criteria were used to define HF, which was further classified according to EF (applying a 50% cutoff). The extent of angiographic CAD was defined at index MI according to the number of major epicardial coronary arteries with ≥50% lumen diameter obstruction. Fine & Gray and Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to assess the association of CAD categories with incidence of HF, and multiple imputation methodology was applied to account for the 19% with missing EF data. Results: During a mean (SD) follow-up of 6.7 (5.9) years, 594 patients developed HF. Adjusted for age and sex, with death considered a competing risk, the cumulative incidence rates of HF among patients with 1- (n=581), 2- (n=622), and 3-vessel disease (n=721) were 11.2%, 14.6% and 20.5% at 30 days; and 18.1%, 22.3% and 29.4% at 5 years after MI, respectively. The increased risk of HF with greater number of occluded vessels was only modestly attenuated after further adjustment for patient and MI characteristics, and did not differ materially by EF (Table). Conclusions: The extent of angiographic CAD expressed by the number of diseased vessels is independently associated with HF incidence after MI. The association is evident promptly after MI and applies to both HFrEF and HFpEF.
