The presence of comorbid pathology negatively affects the prognosis of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Today it is important to clarify the features of CAD on the background of concomitant anemia and identify the main risk factors for complications to improve the tactics of this category of patients. The aim. To investigate the influence of concomitant anemic syndrome on the clinical course of coronary artery disease, frequency and features of the main cardiovascular events. Materials and methods. The study involved 91 patients with coronary artery disease (42 men and 49 women, age – 70 (49; 93)). All patients were divided into 2 groups: the main group (n = 46) consisted of patients with coronary artery disease with iron-deficiency anemia, the comparison group (n = 45) – patients with coronary artery disease without iron-deficiency anemia. The study of the main cardiovascular events took into account re-hospitalization due to arrhythmic disorders, progression of heart failure (HF), CAD destabilization within the observed period (1 year), as well as death from cardiovascular causes. The data analysis was performed using Statistica 13.0. Results. During the year, 42 non-fatal cardiovascular events were noted in patients of both groups, however in the main group their total number was 30 (67 %) versus 12 (27 %) in the comparison group (χ2 = 13.603; P < 0.05). The presence of concomitant anemia in CAD patients significantly increased the relative risk of re-hospitalizations (RR = 1.9; 95 % CI 1.230–3.112; P < 0.05). Among the reasons for hospitalization in the main group, HF decompensation prevailed – 17 (57 %) patients, unstable angina – 7 (23 %), arrhythmic disorders – 6 (20 %); in the comparison group, among the reasons for re-hospitalization, 7 (57 %) had HF decompensation, 3 (25 %) had unstable angina, and 2 (17 %) cases had arrhythmic disorders. In total, 9 (19.5 %) deaths were recorded in the main group, while in the comparison group 1 (2.2 %) death was recorded during the year (χ2 = 6.995; P < 0.05). The presence of concomitant anemia in patients with CAD increases the risk of fatal outcome by 8.8 times (RR = 8.8; 95 % CI 1.162–66.685; P < 0.05). The presence of moderate anemia in patients with CAD significantly increases the incidence of combined critical events by 39 % during the year of follow-up compared with mild anemia (χ2 = 12.843; P < 0.05). Conclusions. The presence of concomitant anemia is associated with a worsened prognosis for patients having coronary artery disease due to an increased risk of non-fatal cardiovascular events that require re-hospitalization during the year of observation, and an increased incidence of death. Increasing severity of anemia is associated with an increase in the frequency of the combined critical event during 1 year of follow-up.

Abstract Background In the COMPASS trial, low dose rivaroxaban (2.5 mg/12h) on top of aspirin showed a 26% reduction in major cardiovascular events in patients with stable coronary artery disease (sCAD). However, information about external applicability of these results is limited. Our objective was to assess potential eligibility for this treatment in a “real world” cohort of Spanish patients with sCAD and to evaluate the incidence of major events in the long-term follow up in this population. Methods The CICCOR registry (“Chronic ischemic heart disease in Cordoba”, in Spanish “Cardiopatía isquémica crόnica en Cordoba”) is a prospective, monocentric study. From February 1, 2000 to January 31, 2004, all consecutive patients with sCAD attended at two outpatient cardiology clinics in a city of the south of Spain were included in the study and prospectively followed. The COMPASS inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied to this cohort, and the proportion of patients potentially eligible for this trial was described. The rate of the main COMPASS end-point (the composite of acute myocardial infarction, stroke, or cardiovascular death), as well as mortality rates, were investigated in this subset of patients, and compared with those of sCAD patients included in the aspirin alone group of the COMPASS trial. Results From a total population of 1268 patients, 1246 subjects presented enough data to assess eligibility. Among these, 575 patients (46%) had exclusion criteria, and another 229 (18%) did not fulfill the inclusion criteria and were not eligible. The main reasons for exclusion were requirement for dual antiplatelet therapy within 1 year of an acute coronary syndrome or coronary stent implantation (70%), high-bleeding risk (33%), other non-aspirin antiplatelet therapy (13%), atrial fibrillation (12%), anticoagulant use (11%), history of ischemic stroke (5%) and heart failure with severe left ventricular dysfunction (4%). The reason for not fulfilling inclusion criteria was the absence of additional high risk factors in patients younger than 65 years. The potentially eligible population included 442 patients (35% of evaluable patients), with up to 17 years of follow-up (median 9 years, IQR 4–15 years, only 1 patient lost in follow-up, 4174 patients-years of observation). These patients experienced higher primary outcome event rates than coronary patients actually enrolled in the aspirin alone arm of COMPASS (5.1% versus 2.9% per year), and higher rates of cardiovascular (4.0% versus 1.1%) and all-cause mortality (6.3 versus 2.1%, p&lt;0.00005 for all comparisons). Conclusion More than one third of “real world” patients with sCAD of this prospective Spanish registry could be potentially eligible for low dose rivaroxaban therapy, according to COMPASS inclusion and exclusion criteria. This population had a higher risk of cardiovascular events and mortality than COMPASS participants with sCAD in the reference aspirin group. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None

Objective. To detect serum level changes of CCHE1 and TCF21 in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients and to explore their clinical significances. Patients and Methods. A total of 150 CAD patients were divided into the mild lesion group ( n = 52 ), moderate lesion group ( n = 48 ), and severe lesion group ( n = 50 ), respectively, according to the Gensini score. In addition, they were divided into single vessel lesion ( n = 42 ), two vessel lesions ( n = 49 ), and three vessel lesions group ( n = 59 ), respectively. Serum levels of CCHE1 and TCF21 in CAD patients were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Spearman’s rank correlation was conducted to assess the relationship between levels of CCHE1 and TCF21 and severity and numbers of vessel lesions in CAD. Pearson’s correlation test was used for analyzing the correlation between CCHE1 and TCF21 levels. A multivariable logistic regression test was performed to evaluate the influences of CCHE1 and TCF21 levels on CAD severity and the occurrence of cardiovascular events within 3 years of follow-up. Results. Significant differences in incidences of diabetes and hypertension were identified in CAD patients divided according to CAD severity. In addition, significant differences in incidences of drinking, diabetes, and hypertension were identified in CAD patients divided according to numbers of vessel lesions. The serum level of CCHE1 was positively related to CAD severity and numbers of vessel lesions, while TCF21 displayed a negative relationship. During the 3-year follow-up, the incidence of cardiovascular events was 39.3% (59/150). CAD severity, numbers of vessel lesions, and serum levels of CCHE1 and TCF21 were independent factors influencing the occurrence of cardiovascular events in CAD patients. Conclusions. The increased serum level of CCHE1 and decreased TCF21 level are closely related to CAD severity, which are able to influence the prognosis in CAD patients.

Aim. To identify predictors of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Material and methods. This prospective single-center study included 225 patients with stable CAD requiring drug-eluting stent implantation. The average follow-up period for patients was 14,5 (6;23) months. Levels of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), insulin, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10), endothelin-1 (ET-1) and the serum lipid profile were evaluated. Insulin resistance was assessed by the HOMA-IR index. The patients were divided into 2 groups: group 1 (n=98) — patients with MACE, group 2 (n=127) — patients without MACE over the follow-up period.Results. During the follow-up period, MACE were recorded in 43,5% of patients, of which: fatal outcome in 3 (3,1%) patients, acute coronary syndrome (ACS) — 14 (14,3%), decompensated heart failure (HF) — 8 (8,2%), non-fatal myocardial infarc tion (MI) — 4 (4,1%), stroke — 3 (3,1%), in-stent restenosis — 18 (18,4%), target vessel revascularization due to progression of atherosclerosis — 25 (25,4%), lifethreatening arrhythmias — 18 (18,4%), implantation of a cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator — 5 (5%). To determine critical levels for quantitative predictors, ROC curves were created with threshold values that increase the likelihood of MACE.Conclusion. As a result of the study, we found that the waist-to-hip ratio >1,0495, the HOMA-IR index >3,13 and the endothelin-1 >0,75 mmol/L are independent predictors of unfavorable prognosis in patients with CAD after PCI.

The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical status, miocardial morphofunctional parameters and adherence to treatment on the background of optimal drug therapy (ODT, including agents improve the prognosis and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCf) in combination with ODT in patients with stable coronary artery disease in combination with hypertension grade 1-2 during prospective observation. The study included 125 men aged 50-75 years. The main group (PCf with ODT) included 78 patients aged 61.5 ± 8.5 years; the comparison group (ODT includes 47 patients aged 63.5 ± 7.1 years. Patients did not significantly differ in age and frequency of major cardiovascular risk factors. Both groups’ patients also did not significantly differ in the angina functional class, of ischemic and hypertensive history duration, myocardial infarct frequency and HF functional class. After a year of observation, there were no significant differences in myocardium morphometric and functional parameters in both groups patients against the background of the treatment. 64 (51.2 %) patients, 42 in the main group and 22 in the comparison group, remained fully adherent to treatment. Greatest commitment found in patients younger than 60 years. The main reason of low adherence was a lack of understanding of the need medication taking with good health and normal blood pressure (BP)
