Aim    To evaluate clinical features of the course of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in patients with oncological diseases (OD) and to determine the role of biomarkers GDF-15, NT-proBNP, and hs-CRP in short-term and long-term prognoses.Material and methods    In 88 patients (34 patients with ACS and OD and 54 patients with ACS without OD), complaints and historical, objective, and laboratory and instrumental data were evaluated and blood concentrations of GDF-15, NT-proBNP, and hs-CRP biomarkers were measured on the first day of hospitalization. Incidence of cardiovascular complications (CVC) and outcomes of hospital and long-term (6 months) periods were analyzed. Statistical analysis of results was performed with the Statistica 12.0, MedCalc 19.1.7 software. The level of statistical significance was р<0.05.Results    In the ACS+OD group as compared to the ACS without OD group, the onset of disease was mostly atypical, with shortness of breath and/or general weakness; the ACS+OD patients more frequently had III-IV Killip class acute heart failure (29 and 7 %, р=0.01); mean hemoglobin concentration (125.6±27.9 and 141±16.6 g/l, р=0.003), prothrombin index (76.4±15.2 and 84.9±17.6 %, р=0.003), and left ventricular ejection fraction (47.7±6.1 and 50.7±7.2 %, р=0.02) were lower; and median concentrations of GDF-15 (1.95 [1.3; 2.8] and 1.45 [1.2; 2.0] ng/ml, р=0.03), NT-proBNP (947.3 [517.8; 1598.2], and 491.1 [85.1; 1069.1] pg/ml, р=0.006), and hs-CRP (14.1 [8.15; 36.75] and 7.8 [4.4; 16.2] mg/l, р=0.01) were higher. The presence of OD was associated with development of CVC, including urgent endpoints in the long-term and also increased the probability of fatal outcome within 6 months after discharge from the hospital. To predict the risk of CVC in patients with ACS and OD, two models with high prognostic values (AUC>0.9) were proposed. In the long-term, the value of NT-proBNP (cut-off point >524.5 pg/ml) was a statistically significant predictor for development of endpoints with a high predictive value (AUC>0.8).Conclusion    The features of the clinical course of ACS in patients with OD indicate the importance of isolating such patients into a separate group. Additional use of the developed models, along with a standard risk assessment by the GRACE scale, will allow individualized management of patients with ACS and OD during the hospital and long-term (6 months) periods.

Aim: Identification of predictors of unfavorable annual prognosis in patients with acute coronary syndrome with ST-segment elevation (STEMI). Material and methods: The study included 69 patients with STEMI who were hospitalized in the period from March 2014 to January 2017 in the hospital named after Zhadkevich. The follow-up period was 12±3 months after the index STEMI Longterm prognosis was established in 62 (89.8%) patients. Results: the fatal outcome was observed in 7 (11.3%) patients. Nonfatal myocardial infarction developed in 10 (16.2%), hospitalization with heart failure decompensation - in 5 (8%), nonfatal acute cerebrovascular accident - in 3 (4.8%) patients. Predictors of adverse prognosis were: age >60 years, level of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) >29.2 pmol/l, C-reactive protein (CRP) >4.7 mg/l, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVF) 60 years and BNP level >29.2 pmol/l. Conclusion: Adverse factors affecting the long-term outcome of the disease (12±3 months after the STEMI) are: BNP level >29.2 pmol/l, CRP level >4.7 mg/l, LV FV value 60 years.

Long Term Follow Up

Aim To study a relationship of several factors (clinical and genetical markers) with unfavorable outcomes in patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) in long-term follow-up.Material and methods This full-design, prospective study included 415 patients with NSTE-ACS. 266 patients were evaluated for the presence of multifocal atherosclerosis (MFA). Typing of polymorphic variants rs1041981 LTA, rs1800629 TNF, rs4986790, and rs498679 TLR4, and also rs3024491 and rs1800872 IL10 was performed. Follow-up period lasted for 67±4 months. By the end of this period, information about clinical outcomes for 396 patients became available.Results During the entire follow-up period, unfavorable outcomes were observed in 239 (57.5 %) patients with NSTE-ACS. The following clinical signs were associated with unfavorable outcomes: history of myocardial infarction, age >56 years, left ventricular ejection fraction (LV EF) ≤50 % and GRACE score ≥100, significant stenosis of brachiocephalic arteries, MFA, carriage of genotype А / А rs1041981 LTA (OR, 6.1; р=0.02) and allele А (OR, 1.9; р=0.01). According to results of a multifactorial analysis, the most significant predictors included LV EF <50 %, MFA, and carriage of genotype А / А rs1041981 LTA.Conclusion Stratification of patients with NSTE-ACS into groups of high or low risk for having an unfavorable outcome within the next 6 years is possible using the prognostic model developed and presented in this study. The model includes the following signs: LV EF <50 %, MFA, and carriage of genotype А / А rs1041981 LTA.

Early initiation of statin therapy in acute coronary syndrome patients has a favorable prognostic impact because of its anti-inflammatory and antithrombotic properties. In this study, we explored the effect of atorvastatin-loading, followed by intensive atorvastatin therapy, on clinical and biochemical outcomes in non-ST-segment-elevation acute coronary syndrome patients who were scheduled for percutaneous coronary intervention. We prospectively enrolled 140 patients (mean age, 56 ± 9 years, 68% men). Once eligible, patients were randomly assigned to receive either a moderate 20-mg daily dose of atorvastatin (Group A) or a 160-mg loading dose followed by an intensified 80-mg daily dose (Group B). High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels were recorded before and after intervention. Evaluation after 6 months included hs-CRP levels, left ventricular systolic function, and major adverse cardiac events. We found no significant difference between the 2 groups in regard to the interventional data. However, blood sampling after coronary intervention, and again 6 months later, revealed a significant decline in mean hs-CRP level among Group B patients (P &lt;0.001). Moreover, patients in Group B manifested a higher left ventricular ejection fraction than did patients in Group A (P &lt;0.05). After 6 months, we found no significant difference between groups in the incidence of major adverse cardiac events. We conclude that intensive atorvastatin therapy in non-ST-segment-elevation acute coronary syndrome patients is associated with lower hs-CRP levels and with higher left ventricular ejection fraction after 6 months, with no significant impact on adverse cardiac events.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Introduction  Among patients admitted to a catheterization laboratory with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), a minority present with cardiogenic shock (CS). Evidence for the best way to manage these patients are needed. Aims  We aimed to assess patients’ characteristics and short and long-term outcomes of ACS presenting with CS. Methods  We analysed all ACS cases with CS admitted during a ten-year period in a tertiary care centre. We defined CS as systolic blood pressure &lt;90mmHg and signs of impaired organ perfusion with need for catecholamine therapy or presenting with cardiac arrest. At discharge, a standardized registry was performed in all cases, including clinical, electrocardiographic, echocardiographic and angiographic characteristics, and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) results. All patients were followed-up for two years for the occurrence of mortality (total and cardiovascular (CV)), CV hospitalizations and revascularization procedures. Results  From 3283 patients admitted with ACS, 92 (2.8%) presented with CS. Mean age was 66.0 ± 12.8 years, with 64 (69.6%) males, and 60 (65.2%) presenting with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. These patients presented previous ACS in 12.0%, were smokers in 28.3% and had diabetes, dyslipidemia and hypertension in 23.9%, 37.0% and 45.7%, respectively. Angiographic characteristics are described in the table. Index-PCI was successful in 83.7% cases. Multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD) was presented in 56 patients (60.9%), of which 20 (21.7%) had 3-vessel disease. Of these 56 patients, complete revascularization in the index-procedure was attempted in 11 patients (19.6%), 10 of which successfully. Mean hospitalization duration of 16.4 ± 9.5 days with in-hospital mortality of 50.0%. Unsuccessful index-PCI (p = 0.002), culprit left main coronary artery (LCMA) (p = 0.044) and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (p &lt; 0,001) were significant in-hospital mortality predictors. At 12 and 24 months, survival after hospital release was 95.7% and 91.3%, respectively. At 24 months of follow-up, 40.0% had at least one CV hospitalization, 17.4% being related to a revascularization procedure (PCI 13.0%, coronary artery bypass surgery 4.4%). Conclusion  CS was uncommon among ACS patients. Unsuccessful PCI, culprit LMCA and reduced LVEF were independent predictors of in-hospital mortality. Despite a very high in-hospital mortality, long-term outcome was favourable. Abstract Figure.

Thromboembolic events are a common complication in Takotsubo syndrome (TTS). However, their long-term incidence compared with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is lacking. In-hospital and long-term incidence of thromboembolic events of 138 consecutive patients with TTS were compared with 138 sex- and age-matched patients with ACS. Predictors of events were analyzed. The incidence of thromboembolic events in TTS was 2-fold higher than ACS (21% vs 9%; P < .01) over a mean follow-up of 5 years. Although the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) at event was significantly lower in TTS compared with ACS (38% [9%] vs 54% [11%]; P < .01), the follow-up LVEF was comparable. Patients with TTS suffering from thromboembolic events were more often treated with anticoagulation compared with ACS (44.8% vs 8.3%, P = .03). However, more patients presenting with ACS (100% vs 48.3%; P < .01) were discharged on aspirin. Only elevated C-reactive protein was a predictor of thromboembolic events using multivariate analysis (hazard ratio 1.1, 95% confidence interval, 1.0-1.2; P < .01). In conclusion, the risk of thromboembolic events in TTS was significantly higher than the risk of thromboembolic events in ACS over a mean follow-up of 5 years.

Abstract Background Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is a rare anomaly that can present at any age. Predisposing risk factors include Kawasaki disease in a younger population and atherosclerosis in the older generation. We present a unique case of the management of a young woman diagnosed with multivessel CAE with aneurysmal changes in the setting of acute coronary syndrome and subsequently during pregnancy. Case summary A 23-year-old woman presented with acute onset chest pain. Electrocardiogram revealed no ischaemic changes; however, troponin I peaked at 16 ng/mL (reference range 0–0.04 ng/mL). Echocardiogram showed apical dyskinesis with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction. Coronary angiography showed multivessel CAE along with significant thrombus burden in an ectatic lesion of the left anterior descending artery. Since the patient was haemodynamically stable, conservative management with dual antiplatelet therapy and anticoagulation was started. On follow-up, coronary computed tomographic angiogram illustrated resolution of the coronary thrombi and echocardiogram showed improvement to the apical dyskinesis. It was presumed that Kawasaki disease was the most likely aetiology of her disease. Subsequently the patient reported that, contrary to medical advice, she was pregnant, adding another layer of complexity to her case. Discussion Coronary artery ectasia can be discovered as an incidental finding or can present with an acute coronary syndrome. Management is challenging in the absence of randomized trials and large-scale data. Treatment options include medications, percutaneous intervention, and surgical revascularization. Close surveillance is required in these patients to assess progression of disease. Here we discuss treatment options during acute coronary syndrome and pregnancy.

Background: In the diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome, cardiac troponin I is highly reliable and widely available biomarker. Serum level of cardiac troponin I is related to amount of myocardial damage and also closely relates to infarct size. Our aim of the study is to find out the relationship between cardiac troponin I and left ventricular systolic function after acute coronary syndrome. Methods: Total of 132 acute coronary syndrome patients were included in this study after admission in coronary care unit of Sir Salimullah Medical College, Mitford Hospital. Troponin I level was measured at admission and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was measured by echocardiography between 12-48 hours of onset of chest pain. Results: There was negative correlation between Troponin I at 12 to 48 hours of chest pain with LVEF in these study patients. With a cutoff value of troponin I e”6.8 ng/ml in STEMI patients there is a significant negative relation between 12 to 48 hrs troponin I and LVEF (p<0.001). Sensitivity of troponin I e” 6.8 ng/ml between 12 to 48 hours of chest pain in predicting LVEF <50% in STEMI was 93.75% and specificity was 77.78%. In NSTEMI sensitivity of troponin I e” 4.5 ng/ml between 12 to 48 hours of chest pain in predicting LVEF <50% was 65% and specificity was 54.05%. Conclusion: Serum troponin I level had a strong negative correlation with left ventricular ejection fraction after acute coronary syndrome and hence can be used to predict the LVEF in this setting.
