The admission shock index (SI) enables prediction of short-term prognosis. This study investigated the prognostic implications of admission SI for predicting long-term prognoses for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The participants were 680 patients with AMI who received percutaneous coronary intervention. Shock index is the ratio of heart rate and systolic blood pressure. Patients were classified as admission SI <0.66 (normal) and ≥0.66 (elevated; 75th percentile). The end point was 5-year major adverse cardiac events (MACEs). Elevated admission SI was seen in 176 patients. Peak creatine kinase levels were significantly higher and left ventricular ejection fraction was lower in the elevated SI group, which had a worse MACEs. In multivariate Cox regression analysis, SI ≥0.66 was a risk factor for MACE. Elevated admission SI was associated with poorer long-term prognosis.

Abnormal hemodynamics is thought to contribute to the increased risk of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) and mortality. However, few studies focused on patients without abnormal hemodynamics (defined as hypotension, intra-aortic balloon pump usage) and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF < 40%). Our study was to explore the impact of CIN on mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with relative stable hemodynamics. In this observational study, we included 696 patients with AMI undergoing PCI without reduced LVEF and abnormal hemodynamics. The end point was long-term, all-cause mortality. During the mean follow-up of 2.79 years, CIN was detected in 110 (15.8%) patients. The total all-cause mortality was higher in CIN group than that in non-CIN group (24% vs 3.4%, P < .001). In the multivariate Cox analysis, CIN was an independent predictor of worse outcomes (adjusted hazard ratio [HR]: 2.97, 95% confidence interval: 1.46-6.06, P < .001) and significantly associated with long-term mortality, so did renal insufficiency (adjusted HR: 4.40, P < .001) and use of β-blockers (adjusted HR: 0.33, P < .001). Among patients with AMI, CIN independently predicted long-term mortality following PCI, regardless of LVEF impairment and abnormal hemodynamics.

To determine whether a community-based physical rehabilitation program could improve the prognosis of patients who had undergone percutaneous coronary intervention after acute myocardial infarction, we randomly divided 164 consecutive patients into 2 groups of 82 patients. Patients in the rehabilitation group underwent 3 months of supervised exercise training, then 9 months of community-based, self-managed exercise; patients in the control group received conventional treatment. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiac events (MACE) during the follow-up period (25 ± 15.4 mo); secondary endpoints included left ventricular ejection fraction, 6-minute walk distance, and laboratory values at 12-month follow-up. During the study period, the incidence of MACE was significantly lower in the rehabilitation group (13.4% vs 24.4%; P &lt;0.01). Cox proportional hazards regression analysis indicated a significantly lower risk of MACE in the rehabilitation group (hazard ratio=0.56; 95% CI, 0.37–0.82; P=0.01). At 12 months, left ventricular ejection fraction and 6-minute walk distance in the rehabilitation group were significantly greater than those in the control group (both P &lt;0.01), and laboratory values also improved. These findings suggest that community-based physical rehabilitation significantly reduced MACE risk and improved cardiac function and physical stamina in patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention after acute myocardial infarction.

Background. This study aims to investigate the coronary microcirculatory resistance and prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) concomitant with hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) after an elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods. A total of 101 patients that underwent elective PCI between May 2015 and July 2018 due to AMI were consecutively enrolled in this study. Patients were divided into a HHcy group (53) and a normal Hcy group (control; 48) based on their plasma homocysteine concentration. The characteristics of coronary angiography, the index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) of infarct-related vessels (IRV), changes in left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDd) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) before and after PCI, and the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) three months after PCI were compared between these groups. Results. Compared to the results from the Hcy group, the HHcy group had a higher IMR. The HHcy group had significantly higher LVEDd and a lower LVEF than the Hcy group 3 months after PCI. Additionally, the incidence of MACE at three months after PCI was higher in the HHcy group than in the Hcy group. Pearson correlation analysis revealed a positive correlation with IMR in the HHcy group. Furthermore, there was a difference in the LVEDd measured at one day after PCI and at three months after PCI in the HHcy group. Conclusion. AMI patients concomitant with HHcy that undergo elective PCI are prone to coronary microcirculatory dysfunction and have a poor cardiac function and poor prognosis at three months after PCI.
