Abstract Background Stress-induced hyperglycaemia at time of hospital admission has been linked to worse prognosis following acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The stress-hyperglycaemia ratio (SHR) index normalises the acute increase in blood glucose values to background glycaemic status. However, the optimal cut-off blood glucose and SHR values for predicting adverse outcomes post-AMI are unknown. As such, we determined the optimal blood glucose and SHR cut-offs for predicting 1-year all cause mortality in diabetic and non-diabetic non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. Methods We undertook a national, registry-based study of patients with AMI from January 2008 to December 2015. We determined the optimal blood glucose and SHR cut-off values using the Youden’s formula for 1-year all-cause mortality. We subsequently analyzed the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of the cut-offs in the diabetic and non-diabetic subgroups, stratified by the type of AMI. Results There were 5,841 STEMI and 4,105 NSTEMI in the study. In STEMI patients, both glucose and SHR were independent predictors of 1-year all-cause mortality [Glucose: OR 2.19 (95% CI 1.74–2.75); SHR: 2.19 (95% CI 1.73–2.78)]. However, in NSTEMI patients, glucose and SHR were not independently associated with 1-year all-cause mortality [Glucose: OR 1.37 (95% CI 1.00-1.89); SHR: 1.27 (95% CI 0.91–1.78)]. In STEMI patients, ROC analysis showed that SHR performed better than glucose (AUC for glucose 0.633 versus AUC for SHR 0.692, P < 0.001) in diabetic patients, whereas in non-diabetic patients, SHR and glucose performed equally well (AUC for glucose 0.720 versus AUC for SHR 0.717, P < 0.664). The optimal glucose cut-off values were 15.0mmol/L for diabetic STEMI patients and 11mmol/L for non-diabetic STEMI patients and the corresponding optimal cut-off values for SHR were 1.7 and 1.5, respectively. Conclusions Glucose on admission and SHR were independent predictors of 1-year all-cause mortality in STEMI, whereas this was not the case in NSTEMI patients. In STEMI setting, SHR performed better than admission glucose to predict 1-year all-cause mortality in diabetic patients, whereas in non-diabetic patients both SHR and glucose performed equally well.

Abstract Background Stress-induced hyperglycaemia at time of hospital admission has been linked to worse prognosis following acute myocardial infarction (AMI). In addition to glucose, other glucose-related indices, such as HbA1c, glucose-HbA1c ratio (GHR), and stress-hyperglycaemia ratio (SHR) are potential predictors of clinical outcomes following AMI. However, the optimal blood glucose, HbA1c, GHR, and SHR cut-off values for predicting adverse outcomes post-AMI are unknown. As such, we determined the optimal blood glucose, HbA1c, GHR, and SHR cut-off values for predicting 1-year all cause mortality in diabetic and non-diabetic ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) patients. Methods We undertook a national, registry-based study of patients with AMI from January 2008 to December 2015. We determined the optimal blood glucose, HbA1c, GHR, and SHR cut-off values using the Youden’s formula for 1-year all-cause mortality. We subsequently analyzed the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of the cut-off values in the diabetic and non-diabetic subgroups, stratified by the type of AMI. Results There were 5841 STEMI and 4105 NSTEMI in the study. In STEMI patients, glucose, GHR, and SHR were independent predictors of 1-year all-cause mortality [glucose: OR 2.19 (95% CI 1.74–2.76); GHR: OR 2.28 (95% CI 1.80–2.89); SHR: OR 2.20 (95% CI 1.73–2.79)]. However, in NSTEMI patients, glucose and HbA1c were independently associated with 1-year all-cause mortality [glucose: OR 1.38 (95% CI 1.01–1.90); HbA1c: OR 2.11 (95% CI 1.15–3.88)]. In diabetic STEMI patients, SHR performed the best in terms of area-under-the-curve (AUC) analysis (glucose: AUC 63.3%, 95% CI 59.5–67.2; GHR 68.8% 95% CI 64.8–72.8; SHR: AUC 69.3%, 95% CI 65.4–73.2). However, in non-diabetic STEMI patients, glucose, GHR, and SHR performed equally well (glucose: AUC 72.0%, 95% CI 67.7–76.3; GHR 71.9% 95% CI 67.7–76.2; SHR: AUC 71.7%, 95% CI 67.4–76.0). In NSTEMI patients, glucose performed better than HbA1c for both diabetic and non-diabetic patients in AUC analysis (For diabetic, glucose: AUC 52.8%, 95% CI 48.1–57.6; HbA1c: AUC 42.5%, 95% CI 37.6–47. For non-diabetic, glucose: AUC 62.0%, 95% CI 54.1–70.0; HbA1c: AUC 51.1%, 95% CI 43.3–58.9). The optimal cut-off values for glucose, GHR, and SHR in STEMI patients were 15.0 mmol/L, 2.11, and 1.68 for diabetic and 10.6 mmol/L, 1.72, and 1.51 for non-diabetic patients respectively. For NSTEMI patients, the optimal glucose values were 10.7 mmol/L for diabetic and 8.1 mmol/L for non-diabetic patients. Conclusions SHR was the most consistent independent predictor of 1-year all-cause mortality in both diabetic and non-diabetic STEMI, whereas glucose was the best predictor in NSTEMI patients.

Venous thromboembolism is associated with significant morbidity and mortality if left untreated. Anticoagulation is the cornerstone of treatment. Venous stents are a relatively newer entity that are increasingly being used to treat venous stenosis/occlusion. It is a safe procedure, but complications include vein rupture, arterial puncture, retroperitoneal bleeding, and in-stent thrombosis. Stent migration is a rare but potentially fatal complication. We present a case of venous stent embolization to the heart that presented as a non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction.

Abstract Background Left ventricular negative remodelling after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is considered as the major cause for the poor prognosis. But the predisposing factors and potential mechanisms of left ventricular negative remodelling after STEMI remain not fully understood. The present research mainly assessed the association between the stress hyperglycaemia ratio (SHR) and left ventricular negative remodelling. Methods We recruited 127 first-time, anterior, and acute STEMI patients in the present study. All enrolled patients were divided into 2 subgroups equally according to the median value of SHR level (1.191). Echocardiography was conducted within 24 h after admission and 6 months post-STEMI to measure left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), and left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD). Changes in echocardiography parameters (δLVEF, δLVEDD, δLVESD) were calculated as LVEF, LVEDD, and LVESD at 6 months after infarction minus baseline LVEF, LVEDD and LVESD, respectively. Results In the present study, the mean SHR was 1.22 ± 0.25 and there was significant difference in SHR between the 2 subgroups (1.05 (0.95, 1.11) vs 1.39 (1.28, 1.50), p < 0.0001). The global LVEF at 6 months post-STEMI was significantly higher in the low SHR group than the high SHR group (59.37 ± 7.33 vs 54.03 ± 9.64, p  = 0.001). Additionally, the global LVEDD (49.84 ± 5.10 vs 51.81 ± 5.60, p  = 0.040) and LVESD (33.27 ± 5.03 vs 35.38 ± 6.05, p  = 0.035) at 6 months after STEMI were lower in the low SHR group. Most importantly, after adjusting through multivariable linear regression analysis, SHR remained associated with δLVEF (beta = −9.825, 95% CI −15.168 to −4.481, p  < 0.0001), δLVEDD (beta = 4.879, 95% CI 1.725 to 8.069, p  = 0.003), and δLVESD (beta = 5.079, 95% CI 1.421 to 8.738, p  = 0.007). Conclusions In the present research, we demonstrated for the first time that SHR is significantly correlated with left ventricular negative remodelling after STEMI.

Introduction: Previous studies demonstrated that treatment of patients (pts) being affected by ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) with bivalirudin (biv) instead of heparin (hep) reduced rates of major bleedings. Results regarding a reduction in all-cause mortality are inconclusive, stent thromboses however were slightly increased. Real world data in pts with STEMI treated with biv in the era of new anti-thrombotic treatment are still spare. The aim of this study was to evaluate safety of biv for all-comers. Methods: All pts with STEMI from the metropolitan area of Bremen (Germany) are admitted to the Bremen heart center and documented in the Bremen STEMI-registry (BSR) since 2006. In May 2013 we adapted our anticoagulation strategy to the current guidelines from hep with glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors (GPI) to biv with provisional use of GPI. Pts receiving biv were compared to all pts until April 2013 in the BSR without chronic renal failure. Results: Baseline and interventional characteristics of 530 consecutive pts treated with biv and 5197 pts treated with hep are shown in table 1. Despite a higher portion of pts after resuscitation (10.3% vs 8.6%; p<0.01) and a higher incidence of Killip class 3 or 4 (15% vs 8%; p<0.001) in the biv group inhospital all-cause mortality showed no difference (biv: 6.8% vs hep: 7.3%, p=0.66). However pts treated with biv demonstrated highly significant lower bleeding rates (TIMI major/minor bleedings: 0.8% vs 3.7%, p<.01). Stent-thromboses showed a trend towards an increased event rate with biv (1.3%, 7pts vs 1.0%, 52pts, p=0.07). Conclusions: In one of the largest all-comers registries treatment with biv was associated with significantly lower minor and major bleedings. There is only a trend for a higher rate of stent thromboses in the biv group. Therefore, data from our all-comers registry support the beneficial safety profile of biv observed in clinical studies.
