Abstract Background: Studies comparing long-term clinical outcomes between prediabetes and diabetes based on pre-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow grade in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) after successful PCI with newer-generation drug-eluting stents are limited. We compared 2-year clinical outcomes of these two groups. Methods: Overall, 6448 STEMI patients were divided into two groups: pre-PCI TIMI 0/1 group (n = 4854) and pre-PCI TIMI 2/3 group (n = 1594). Subsequently, these two groups were further divided into patients with normoglycemia, prediabetes, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The major endpoint was the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs), defined as all-cause death, recurrent myocardial infarction, or any repeat revascularization. Results: After adjustment, in the pre-PCI TIMI 0/1 group, the cumulative incidence of all-cause death was higher in both prediabetes (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR]: 1.633, p = 0.045) and T2DM (aHR: 2.064, p = 0.002) groups than in the normoglycemia group. In the pre-PCI TIMI 2/3 group, the cumulative incidence of any repeat revascularization was higher in both prediabetes (aHR: 2.511, p = 0.039) and T2DM (aHR: 3.156, p = 0.009) groups than in the normoglycemia group. However, in each group (pre-PCI TIMI 0/1 or 2/3), the cumulative incidences of MACEs and all other clinical outcomes were not significantly different between the prediabetes and T2DM groups. Conclusions: In this retrospective registry study, prediabetes showed worse clinical outcomes similar to those of T2DM regardless of the pre-PCI TIMI flow grade. However, further studies are warranted to confirm these results.

Background: We compared the 2-year clinical outcomes between prediabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) according to the pre-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Methods: Overall, 6448 STEMI patients were divided into two groups: pre-PCI TIMI 0/1 group ( n = 4854) and pre-PCI TIMI 2/3 group ( n = 1594). They were further divided into patients with normoglycemia, prediabetes, and T2DM. The major endpoint was major adverse cardiac events (MACEs), defined as all-cause death, recurrent myocardial infarction, or any repeat revascularization. Results: In the pre-PCI TIMI 0/1 group, all-cause death rate was higher in both prediabetes (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR]: 1.633, p = 0.045) and T2DM (aHR: 2.064, p = 0.002) groups than in the normoglycemia group. In the pre-PCI TIMI 2/3 group, any repeat revascularization rate was also higher in both prediabetes (aHR: 2.511, p = 0.039) and T2DM (aHR: 3.156, p = 0.009) than normoglycemia. In each group (pre-PCI TIMI 0/1 or 2/3), the MACEs and all other clinical outcomes rates were similar between the prediabetes and T2DM groups. Conclusions: Prediabetes showed comparable worse clinical outcomes to those of T2DM regardless of the pre-PCI TIMI flow grade.

This study aims to investigate the two-year clinical outcomes between first-generation (1G) and second-generation (2G) drug-eluting stents (DES) based on pre-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade (pre-TIMI) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Overall, 17,891 STEMI patients were classified into two groups: pre-TIMI 0/1 group (n = 12,862; 1G-DES (n = 4318), 2G-DES (n = 8544)) and pre-TIMI 2/3 group (n = 5029; 1G-DES (n = 2046), 2G-DES (n = 2983)). During a two-year follow-up period, major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) defined as all-cause death, recurrent myocardial infarction (re-MI), or any repeat revascularization and stent thrombosis (ST) were considered as the primary and the secondary outcomes. In the pre-TIMI 0/1 and 2/3 groups, the cumulative incidences of MACEs (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR): 1.348, p < 0.001, and aHR: 1.415, p = 0.02, respectively) and any repeat revascularization (aHR: 1.938, p < 0.001, and aHR: 1.674, p = 0.001, respectively) were significantly higher in the 1G-DES than in the 2G-DES. However, sirolimus-eluting stent showed similar cumulative incidence of any repeat revascularization compared with zotarolimus-eluting stent and biolimus-eluting stent in both pre-TIMI 0/1 and 2/3 groups. The cumulative incidences of all-cause death, re-MI, and ST were similar between the 1G-DES and 2G-DES groups. In this study, 2G-DES showed better clinical outcomes than 1G-DES concerning MACEs and any repeat revascularization regardless of pre-TIMI. However, more research is needed to support these results.

Abstract Smoking is one of the leading risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, including ischemic heart disease and hypertension. However, in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients, smoking has been associated with better clinical outcomes, a phenomenon termed the “smoker’s paradox.” Given the known detrimental effects of smoking on the cardiovascular system, it has been proposed that the beneficial effects of smoking on outcomes is due to age differences between smokers and non-smokers and is therefore a smoker’s pseudoparadox. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between smoking status and clinical outcomes in ST-segment elevation (STEMI) and non-STEMI (NSTEMI) patients treated by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), using a national multi-ethnic Asian registry. In unadjusted analyses, current smokers had better clinical outcomes following STEMI and NSTEMI. However, after adjusting for age, the protective effect of smoking was lost, confirming a smoker’s pseudoparadox. Interestingly, although current smokers had increased risk for recurrent MI within 1 year after PCI in both STEMI and NSTEMI patients, there was no increase in mortality. In summary, we confirm the existence of a smoker’s pseudoparadox in a multi-ethnic Asian cohort of STEMI and NSTEMI patients and report increased risk of recurrent MI, but not mortality, in smokers.

Abstract Background: The no-reflow phenomenon (NRP) is an important factor affecting the prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). This study aims to investigate the association of circulating miR-660-5p with NRP in patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing PPCI.Methods: Consecutive patients diagnosed with anterior STEMI within 12 h of pain onset were included in the study; in these patients, coronary angiography confirmed that the infarct-related artery was the left anterior descending (LAD) artery. Angiographic NRP was defined as a final TIMI flow of 2 or a final TIMI flow of 3 with a myocardial blush grade (MBG) < 2. High miR-660-5p was defined as a value in the third tertile. The relationship of circulating miR-660-5p with NRP was assessed using Spearman correlation analysis and multiple logistic regression analysis.Results: Fifty-two eligible patients were finally included in this study (mean age: 56±12.4 years, >65 years: 53.8%, male: 76.9%, and mean BMI: 26.3±3.5). The incidence of NRP was 38.5%. Circulating miR-660-5p was significantly related to the mean platelet volume (MPV). Patients were divided into tertiles by miR-660-5p levels (Q1: ≤ 7.18, Q2: 7.18-11.31, Q3: > 11.31). Patients in the high microRNA-660-5p group had almost a 6-fold higher risk of NRP than those in the low microRNA-660-5p group [(odds ratio (OR)=5.68, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.40-23.07, p=0.015). When analysed by tertiles, consistent trends of an increasing relative odds of NRP were reported (OR1 for Q2 VS. Q1: 1.25, 95% CI: 0.27-5.73, p=0.77; OR2 for Q3 VS. Q1: 5.96, 95% CI: 1.33-26.66, p=0.02), even after multivariable adjustment. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis demonstrated that the microRNA-660-5p level of 10.17 was the best cut-off level to predict the incidence of the no-reflow phenomenon in patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.768 (95% CI: 0.636-0.890).Conclusion: Circulating miR-660-5p was significantly associated with NRP, and it may be a useful biomarker to predict the incidence of NRP in patients with STEMI undergoing PPCI.

Background: Doing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the first hours of myocardial infraction (MI) is effective in re-establishment of blood flow. Anticoagulation treatment should be prescribed in patients undergoing PCI to decrease the side effects of ischemia. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of heparin prescription after PCI on short-term clinical outcomes in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Materials: This randomized clinical trial study was conducted at Imam Ali cardiovascular center at Kermanshah university of medical science (KUMS), Iran. Between April 2019 to October 2019, 400 patients with STEMI which candidate to PCI were enrolled. Patients randomly divided in two groups: intervention group (received 5,000 units of heparin after PCI until first 24 hours, every 6 hours) and control group (did not receive heparin). Data were collected using a checklist developed based on the study's aims. Differences between groups were assessed using independent t-tests and chi-square (or Fisher exact tests).Result: Observed that, mean prothrombin time (PT) (13.30±1.60 vs. 12.21±1.15, p<0.001) and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) (35.30±3.08 vs. 34.41±3.01, p=0.003) were significantly higher in intervention group compared to control group. Thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade 0/1 after primary PCI was significantly more frequently in control group (5.5% vs. 1.0%, p=0.034). The mean of ejection fraction (EF) after PCI (47.58±7.12 vs. 45.15±6.98, p<0.001) was significantly higher in intervention group. Intervention group had a statistically significant shorter length of hospital stay (4.71±1.03 vs. 6.12±1.10, p<0.001). There was higher incidence of re-vascularization (0% vs. 3.0%; p=0.013) and re-MI (0% vs. 2.5%; p=0.024) in the control group.Conclusion: Performing primary PCI with receiving heparin led to improve TIMI flow and consequently better EF. Receiving heparin is associated with lower risk of re-MI and re-vascularization.
