Background: Rates for recurrent coronary heart disease (CHD) events have declined in the US. However, few studies have assessed whether this decline has been similar among women and men. Methods: Data were used from 770,408 US women and 700,477 US men <65 years of age with commercial health insurance through MarketScan and ≥66 years of age with government health insurance through Medicare who had a myocardial infarction (MI) hospitalization between 2008 and 2017. Women and men were followed for recurrent MI, recurrent CHD events (i.e., recurrent MI or coronary revascularization), heart failure hospitalization, and all-cause mortality (Medicare only) in the 365 days post-MI. Results: From 2008 to 2017, age-standardized recurrent MI rates per 1,000 person-years decreased from 89.2 to 72.3 in women and from 94.2 to 81.3 in men (multivariable-adjusted p-interaction by sex<0.001). Recurrent CHD event rates decreased from 166.3 to 133.3 in women and from 198.1 to 176.8 in men (p-interaction<0.001). Heart failure hospitalization rates decreased from 177.4 to 158.1 in women and from 162.9 to 156.1 in men (p-interaction=0.001). All-cause mortality rates decreased from 403.2 to 389.5 in women and from 436.1 to 417.9 in men (p-interaction=0.82). In 2017, the multivariable-adjusted rate ratios (95%CI), comparing women with men were 0.90 (0.86, 0.93) for recurrent MI, 0.80 (0.78, 0.82) for recurrent CHD events, 0.99 (0.96, 1.01) for heart failure hospitalization, and 0.82 (0.80-0.83) for all-cause mortality. Conclusions: Rates of recurrent MI, recurrent CHD events, heart failure hospitalization, and mortality in the first year after an MI declined considerably between 2008 and 2017 in both men and women, with proportionally greater reductions for women than men. However, rates remain very high and rates of recurrent MI, recurrent CHD events and death continue to be higher among men than women.

Abstract Background Women have lower age-specific rates of incident coronary heart disease (CHD) than men. However, it remains unclear whether women maintain the same advantage once they have had a cardiac event. Purpose To assess whether sex differences in the rates of cardiac events and all-cause mortality among individuals without a history of CHD persist following a myocardial infarction (MI). Methods We identified 171,897 women and 167,993 men &lt;65 years of age with commercial health insurance and ≥66 years of age with government health insurance through Medicare who had a MI hospitalization between 2015 and 2016 in the US. These beneficiaries were matched to 687,588 women and 671,972 men without a history of CHD based on age and calendar year. Beneficiaries were followed until December 2017 for the occurrence of MI, CHD, heart failure, and all-cause mortality (Medicare only). Results The age-standardized rates of MI per 1,000 person-years were 4.5 in women and 5.7 in men without a history of CHD (multivariable-adjusted hazard ratio [HR] [95% confidence interval] of female sex: 0.64 [0.62; 0.67]) and 60.2 in women and 59.8 in men with a history of MI (HR: 0.94 [0.92, 0.96]) (Figure 1). Rates of CHD events in women vs. men were 6.3 vs. 10.7 among those without CHD (HR: 0.53 [0.51, 0.54]) and 84.5 vs. 99.3 among those with MI (HR: 0.87 [0.85, 0.89]). Heart failure hospitalization rates in women vs. men were 9.3 vs. 6.6 for those without CHD (HR: 0.93 [0.90, 0.96]) and 114.9 vs. 97.9 among those with MI (HR: 1.02 [1.00, 1.04]). All-cause mortality rates in women vs. men were 63.7 vs. 59.0 among those without CHD (HR: 0.72 [0.71; 0.73]) and 311.6 vs. 284.5 among those with a MI (HR: 0.90 [0.89, 0.92]). Conclusion The women advantage against MI, CHD, heart failure and all-cause mortality is considerably attenuated following a MI, suggesting that a prior MI puts women at almost the same high-risk of subsequent events as men.

Aim: The protein CCN1/CYR61 exerts critical functions in myocardial ischemic injury. We sought to investigate the prognostic value of CCN1 in patients with acute heart failure (AHF) and coronary heart disease (CAD). Methodology: We prospectively enrolled 113 patients with AHF and CAD. Patients were followed for all-cause mortality during a 30-day follow-up. Logistic models were used to estimate the association of CCN1 concentrations with 30-day mortality. Results: In multivariate logistic regression model, CCN1 was a significant predictor of 30-day mortality independent of current markers. Enhanced Feedback for Effective Cardiac Treatment risk score was recommended as one of the selected multivariable risk scores to predict outcome in AHF. CCN1 improved risk stratification for all-cause mortality when added to the Enhanced Feedback for Effective Cardiac Treatment risk scores at 30 days. Conclusion: We found CCN1 is independently associated with 30-day mortality in patients with AHF and CAD.

AimsPeople who have schizophrenia die earlier from somatic diseases than do people in the general population, but information about cardiovascular deaths in people who have schizophrenia is limited. We analysed mortality in all age groups of people with schizophrenia by specific cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), focusing on five CVD diagnoses: coronary heart disease, acute myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular disease, heart failure and cardiac arrhythmias. We also compared hospital admissions for CVDs in people who had schizophrenia with hospital admissions for CVDs in the general population.MethodsThis national register study of 10 631 817 people in Sweden included 46 911 people who were admitted to the hospital for schizophrenia between 1 January 1987 and 31 December 2010. Information from national registers was used to identify people who had schizophrenia and obtain data about mortality, causes of death, medical diagnoses and hospitalisations.ResultsCVDs were the leading cause of death in people who had schizophrenia (5245 deaths), and CVDs caused more excess deaths than suicide. The mean age of CVD death was 10 years lower for people who had schizophrenia (70.5 years) than the general population (80.7 years). The mortality rate ratio (MRR) for CVDs in all people who had schizophrenia was 2.80 (95% confidence interval (CI) 2.73–2.88). In people aged 15–59 years who had schizophrenia, the MRR for CVDs was 6.16 (95% CI 5.79–6.54). In all people who had schizophrenia, the MRR for coronary heart disease was 2.83 (95% CI 2.73–2.94); acute myocardial infarction, 2.62 (95% CI 2.49–2.75); cerebrovascular disease, 2.4 (95% CI 2.25–2.55); heart failure, 3.25 (95% CI 2.94–3.6); and cardiac arrhythmias, 2.06 (95% CI 1.75–2.43). Hospital admissions for coronary heart disease were less frequent in people who had schizophrenia than in the general population (admission rate ratio, 0.88 (95% CI 0.83–0.94). In all age groups, survival after hospital admission for CVD was lower in people who had schizophrenia than in the general population.ConclusionsPeople who had schizophrenia died 10 years earlier from CVDs than did people in the general population. For all five CVD diagnoses, mortality risk was higher for those with schizophrenia than those in the general population. Survival after hospitalisation for CVDs in people who had schizophrenia was comparable with that of people in the general population who were several decades older.

Background Genome-wide association studies have identified multiple genomic loci associated with coronary artery disease, but most are common variants in non-coding regions that provide limited information on causal genes and etiology of the disease. To overcome the limited scope that common variants provide, we focused our investigation on low-frequency and rare sequence variations primarily residing in coding regions of the genome. Methods and results Using samples of individuals of European ancestry from ten cohorts within the Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology (CHARGE) consortium, both cross-sectional and prospective analyses were conducted to examine associations between genetic variants and myocardial infarction (MI), coronary heart disease (CHD), and all-cause mortality following these events. For prevalent events, a total of 27,349 participants of European ancestry, including 1831 prevalent MI cases and 2518 prevalent CHD cases were used. For incident cases, a total of 55,736 participants of European ancestry were included (3,031 incident MI cases and 5,425 incident CHD cases). There were 1,860 all-cause deaths among the 3,751 MI and CHD cases from six cohorts that contributed to the analysis of all-cause mortality. Single variant and gene-based analyses were performed separately in each cohort and then meta-analyzed for each outcome. A low-frequency intronic variant (rs988583) in PLCL1 was significantly associated with prevalent MI (OR = 1.80, 95% confidence interval: 1.43, 2.27; P = 7.12 × 10−7). We conducted gene-based burden tests for genes with a cumulative minor allele count (cMAC) ≥ 5 and variants with minor allele frequency (MAF) < 5%. TMPRSS5 and LDLRAD1 were significantly associated with prevalent MI and CHD, respectively, and RC3H2 and ANGPTL4 were significantly associated with incident MI and CHD, respectively. No loci were significantly associated with all-cause mortality following a MI or CHD event. Conclusion This study identified one known locus (ANGPTL4) and four new loci (PLCL1, RC3H2, TMPRSS5, and LDLRAD1) associated with cardiovascular disease risk that warrant further investigation.

AbstractBackgroundGenome-wide association studies have identified multiple genomic loci associated with coronary artery disease, but most are common variants in non-coding regions that provide limited information on causal genes and etiology of the disease. To better understand etiological pathways that might lead to discovery of new treatments or prevention strategies, we focused our investigation on low-frequency and rare sequence variations primarily residing in coding regions of the genome while also exploring associations with common variants.Methods and ResultsUsing samples of individuals of European ancestry from ten cohorts within the Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology (CHARGE) consortium, both cross-sectional and prospective analyses were conducted to examine associations between genetic variants and myocardial infarction (MI), coronary heart disease (CHD), and all-cause mortality following these events. Single variant and gene-based analyses were performed separately in each cohort and then meta-analyzed for each outcome. A low-frequency intronic variant (rs988583) in PLCL1 was significantly associated with prevalent MI (OR=1.80, 95% confidence interval: 1.43, 2.27; P=7.12 × 10-7). Three common variants, rs9349379 in PHACTR1, and rs1333048 and rs4977574 in the 9p21 region, were significantly associated with prevalent CHD. Four common variants (rs4977574, rs10757278, rs1333049, and rs1333048) within the 9p21 locus were significantly associated with incident MI. We conducted gene-based burden tests for genes with a cumulative minor allele count (cMAC) ≥ 5 and variants with minor allele frequency (MAF) < 5%. TMPRSS5 and LDLRAD1 were significantly associated with prevalent MI and CHD, respectively, and RC3H2 and ANGPTL4 were significantly associated with incident MI and CHD, respectively. No loci were significantly associated with all-cause mortality following a MI or CHD event.ConclusionThis study confirmed previously reported loci influencing heart disease risk, and one single variant and three genes associated with MI and CHD were newly identified and warrant future investigation.
