The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficiency of invasive strategies for the treatment of 306 patients with recurrent myocardial infarction (IM) admitted to our clinic in 2003-2007. We compared the results of three approaches: various forms of transdermal coronary interventions (TDI) including delayed (24-72 hr) ones (n=30), surgical myocardial revascularization within 8-12 weeks after the onset of recurrent myocardial infarction (n=25), and conservative therapy (n=251). Overall cardiovascular lethality was estimated during 5 years in 101 patients. It was shown that recurrent myocardial infarction is a predictor of high risk of death associated, in the absence of reperfusion therapy, with high intra-hospital and long-term lethality. TDI soon after recurrent IM does not exclude possibility of its application in a later period. Various interventions including delayed ones markedly decrease the frequency of complications and lethal outcome that remains high in their absence. At the same time, severe lesions of the coronary bed in many patients with recurrent MI limit the possibility of using TDI and should be regarded as indications for planned surgical myocardial revascularization. Coronary bypass surgery after myocardial scarring prevents progress of left ventricle dysfunction, improves its contractility and increases life expectancy. Enhanced availability of reperfusion strategies in the form of TDI and/or delayed surgical myocardial revascularization opens up new possibilities for effective treatment of recurrent MI.

The aim of the paper is to correlate the results of endovascular myocardial revascularization (EMR) in patients under 40 years of age with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) / stable angina, primary EMR age ≤35/36–40 and stent diameter. Materials and Methods. The authors examined 208 patients (24–40 years of age) with coronary artery disease: 157 patients (75.5 %) aged 36–40; 51 patients (24.5 %) aged ≤35. All in all, 165 (79.3 %) patients underwent EMR; 32 patients (15.4 %) underwent coronary artery bypass grafting; 11 patients (5.3 %) refused medical intervention. EMR results and the quality of life were studied in 126 patients (76.4 %) at 10–107 months of observation (62.5±2.6 months). Results. 84 patients with ACS (50.9 %) and 81 patients with stable angina (49.1 %) underwent EMR. There were no any peri-procedural complications. The authors observed 0 % hospital and 30-day mortality. The survival rate of patients for the period up to 9 years was 99.2 %; long-term mortality was 0.8 %; the constancy of results up to 1, 2 and 3 years of follow-up was 90.5 %, 84.1 % and 81.7 %, respectively, and up to 5–9 years it was 79.4 %. An active lifestyle was verified in 74.6 % of patients; a sparing lifestyle was observed in 25.4 %; 86.5 %, of patients returned to work; transient sexual disorders were found in 28.6% of patients. 83.3 % and 27.8 % of patients kept to drug therapy and dietary regimen. 34.1 % and 23.8 % of patients kept smoking and taking power drinks; overweight and obesity were observed in 23.8 % and 19 % of patients. Recurrent myocardial infarction (MI) / angina was verified in 23 % of patients; 20.6 % of patients underwent second EMR. 23 % of patients got depressed due to recurrent myocardial infarction / angina, while 18.3 % of patients were down due to the quarantine (COVID-19); 6.3 % suffered from panic attacks, for fear of recurrent anginous pain. Conclusion. Predictors of recurrent EMR and stability of results were: 1) ACS; 2) patients’ age (≤35); 3) history of MI, ejection fraction ≤35–40 %, diabetes; 4) stent diameter (<28 mm); 5) smoking and taking power drinks. The leading predictor was the aggressiveness of atherosclerosis and diabetes in persons under 40, causing: a) early stent dysfunction; b) native and “protected” coronary vessels damage in case of intact stents patency. Keywords: ischemic heart disease, young patients, risk profile, semiotics of coronary arteries, endovascular myocardial revascularization, quality of life. Цель.

Abstract Background: Cysteine-rich angiogenic inducer 61 (Cyr61) is a matricellular protein participating in the angiogenesis, inflammation, and fibrotic tissue repair. Previous study has proven its value in diagnosing and risk stratification of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, there is no study focusing on Cyr61 and the long-term outcome of STEMI. Methods: A total of 426 patients diagnosed with STEMI were enrolled in this study. Blood sample was acquired 24 hours after the admission. The patients were required long-term follow-up after the discharge, when primary endpoint of all-cause death and secondary endpoint of cardiac complications were observed. Cox hazard ratio model and survival analysis were used to compare the risk of patients with higher level and lower level of Cyr61. Results: We conducted an average of (48.4 ± 17.8) months of follow-up, during which a total of 28 deaths happened (6.6%), while 106 episodes of secondary endpoints occurred (24.9%). Patients with higher quartile (Q4) Cyr61 were at higher risk of death [HR 3.404 95%CI (1.574-7.360), P<0.001] when compared with lower three quartiles (Q1-Q3) Cyr61. In terms of secondary endpoints, patients with Q4 Cyr61 were subject to 4.718 [95%CI (3.189-6.978) , P<0.001] times of risk compared with Q1-Q3 Cyr61. Conclusions: For STEMI Patients, those with increased Cyr61 have higher risk of all-cause death and cardiac complications. Therefore, Cyr61 may be a useful tool in predicting the long-term prognosis of STEMI.

Background The method of coronary-coronary bypass grafting was described in 1987 but has not been widely used, and there are only a few studies that report good short-term and mid-term results as well as some individual cases of long-term follow-up. In our medical institution, we carried out an analysis of the long-term results of coronary-coronary bypass grafting, which are presented in this study. Methods This was a retrospective single-center study on 95 patients who underwent coronary-coronary bypass grafting as a supplement to the standard coronary bypass grafting procedure. All patients underwent angiographic assessment of the coronary bypass grafts during the long-term follow-up period. The observation period was up to 123 months. Angiographic assessment of 109 coronary-coronary grafts was carried out. Results Twelve (7.6%) arterial and 11 (19.3%) venous conduits were found to be occluded, and 8 (10.3%) arterial and 10 (31.3%) venous coronary-coronary grafts were occluded during the observation period. Conclusion Arterial coronary-coronary artery bypass grafting represents an alternative technique that allows complete myocardial revascularization.

A 68-year-old man with a non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) presented with a low risk profile indicating invasive revascularization within 72 h. However, left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain (GLS) calculated by two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) in the Emergency Room showed substantial myocardial infarction. Therefore, urgent reperfusion therapy was decided and delivered within 30 min from hospital admission. LV GLS fully recovered after the invasive procedure and the final infarct size was 7%. This case shows that very early revascularization in NSTEMI patients can be guided by 2D-STE and might be considered for those patients with substantial LV myocardial infarction.

Aim. To elucidate independent predictors of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events in patients with chronic heart disease (CHD) after surgical myocardial revascularization during a long-term prospective observation. Subjects and methods. The study enrolled 120 patients with CHD who had undergone coronary artery bypass grafting with extracorporeal circulation. Further 2-5-year follow-ups recorded deaths from cardiac causes, including sudden deaths, as well as the incidence of nonfatal cardiovascular events (myocardial infarction, stroke). Results. The mean follow-up time was 36±5 months. During the follow-ups, there were 12 deaths: 1 and 8 deaths from pneumonia and myocardial infarction, respectively; 3 patients died suddenly. Out of the nonfatal events, myocardial infarction and stroke were recorded in 7 and 2 cases, respectively. Stepwise regression analysis showed that the independent predictors of fatal cardiac events were as follows: 1) an ejection fraction of less than 40% (relative risk 5.7 with deviations within 95% confidence interval, 1,2–10,7); 2) age of 70 years or older (4,9; 1,4–8,4); 3) diabetes mellitus (2,3; 1,1–3,7); 4) left ventricular aneurysm (2,1; 1,04–3,8); 5) mechanical ventilation for more than 24 hours (2,0; 1,2–2,9); 6) chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (1,9; 1,1–3,1). The independent predictors of all cases of both fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events were: 1) age of 70 years or older (4,1; 1,2–8,1); 2) an ejection fraction of less than 40% (3,7; 1,1–6,5); 3) endarterectomy during coronary artery bypass grafting (2,9; 1,1–5,4); 4) mechanical ventilation for more than 100 minutes (2,2; 1,2–3,9); damage to the brachiocephalic artery area (2,1; 1,1–6,4), prior stroke (1,8; 1,1–3,8). Conclusion. The conducted study indicated the implication of both the poor traditional predictors of CHD and comorbidity, as well as the specific features of surgical intervention and anesthetic maintenance in the development of further fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events in patients with CHD after surgical myocardial revascularization.
