Introduction. Adipokines such as fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4) and C1q tumor necrosis factor-related protein 3 (CTRP3) can affect the structural and functional state of the myocardium in patients with acute myocardial infarction and obesity. The objective of the research was to determine the relationship between FABP4, CTRP3 and echocardiographic parameters of the left ventricular myocardium in patients with acute myocardial infarction depending on body mass index. Materials and Methods. The observational cross-sectional study examined 189 patients with acute myocardial infarction depending on body mass index, who were divided into the following groups: Group 1 included 60 patients with acute myocardial infarction and normal body mass index; Group 2 comprised 68 patients with acute myocardial infarction and excess body weight; Group 3 included 61 patients with acute myocardial infarction and obesity. Results. In Group 1, the statistical significance correlations were found: between FABP4 and end-diastolic dimension (EDD; r = -0.458), end-systolic dimension (ESD; r = -0.460), end-diastolic volume (EDV; r = -0.452), left ventricular myocardial mass (LVMM; r = -0.411), LVMM/body surface area index (LVMMI2; r = -0.419); between CTRP3 and EDV (r = 0.425), EDD (r = 0.469), left ventricular relative posterior wall thickness (LVRPWT; r = -0.469). In Group 2, there were found the statistical significance relationships between: FABP4 and EDD (r = 0.461), ESD (r = 0.467), EDV (r = 0.449), end-systolic volume (ESV; r = 0.485), LVMM (r = 0.487), LVMMI1 (r = 0.406); between CTRP3 and EDD (r = -0.440), EDV (r = -0.413), LVMM (r = -0.430), LVMM/height2.7 index (LVMMI1; r = -0.483). In Group 3, the statistical significance correlations were found between: FABP4 and EDV (r = 0.481), ESD (r = 0.411), ESV (r = 0.490), LVMMI1 (r = 0.403); between CTRP3 and EDV (r = -0.326), ESD (r = -0.367), ESV (r = -0.453), LVMMI1 (r = -0.415). Conclusions. In patients with acute myocardial infarction and overweight/obesity, echocardiographic parameters had a significant low positive correlation with FABP4 and a low negative correlation with CTRP3. On the contrary, in patients with acute myocardial infarction and normal body mass index, echocardiographic parameters had a significant low negative correlation with FABP4 and a low positive correlation with CTRP3.

Abstract Background Beneficial effects of overweight and obesity on mortality after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have been described as “Body Mass Index (BMI) paradox”. However, the effects of BMI is still on debate. We analyzed the association between BMI and 1-year major cardiocerebrovascular events (MACCE) after AMI. Methods and findings Among 13,104 AMI patients registered in an Institute of Health in Korea between November 2011 and December 2015, 10,568 patients who eligible for this study were classified into 3 groups according to BMI (Group I; <22 kg/m2, 22 ≤ Group II <26 kg/m2, Group III; ≥26 kg/m2). The primary end point was a composite of cardiac death (CD), myocardial infarction (MI), target vessel revascularization (TVR), and cerebrovascular events at 1 year. Over the median follow-up of 12 months, the composite of primary end point occurred more frequently in the Group I patients than in the Group III patients (primary endpoint: adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 1.290; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.024 to 1.625, p=0.031). Especially, cardiac death in MACCE components played a major role in this effect (aHR, 1.548; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.128 to 2.124, p=0.007). Conclusions Higher BMI appeared to be good prognostic factor on 1-year MACCE after AMI. This result suggests that higher BMI or obesity might confer a protective advantage over the life-quality after AMI.

This study tested the hypothesis that MMP-9−/−tPA−/− double knock out (i.e., MTDKO) plays a crucial role in the prognostic outcome after acute myocardial infarction (AMI by ligation of left-coronary-artery) in MTDKO mouse. Animals were categorized into sham-operated controls in MTDKO animals (group 1) and in wild type (B6: group 2), AMI-MTDKO (group 3) and AMI-B6 (group 4) animals. They were euthanized, and the ischemic myocardium was harvested, by day 60 post AMI. The mortality rate was significantly higher in group 3 than in other groups and significantly higher in group 4 than in groups 1/2, but it showed no difference in the latter two groups (all p < 0.01). By day 28, the left-ventricular (LV) ejection fraction displayed an opposite pattern, whereas by day 60, the gross anatomic infarct size displayed an identical pattern of mortality among the four groups (all p < 0.001). The ratio of heart weight to tibial length and the lung injury score exhibited an identical pattern of mortality (p < 0.01). The protein expressions of apoptosis (mitochondrial-Bax/cleaved-caspase3/cleaved-PARP), fibrosis (Smad3/T-GF-ß), oxidative stress (NOX-1/NOX-2/oxidized-protein), inflammation (MMPs2,9/TNF-α/p-NF-κB), heart failure/pressure overload (BNP/ß-MHC) and mitochondrial/DNA damage (cytosolic-cytochrome-C/γ-H2AX) biomarkers displayed identical patterns, whereas the angiogenesis markers (small vessel number/CD31+cells in LV myocardium) displayed opposite patterns of mortality among the groups (all p < 0.0001). The microscopic findings of fibrotic/collagen deposition/infarct areas and inflammatory cell infiltration of LV myocardium were similar to the mortality among the four groups (all p < 0.0001). MTDKO strongly predicted unfavorable prognostic outcome after AMI.

Background Full secondary prevention medication regimen is often under-prescribed after acute myocardial infarction. Design The purpose of this study was to analyse the relationship between prescription of appropriate secondary prevention treatment at discharge and long-term clinical outcomes according to risk level defined by the Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) Risk Score for Secondary Prevention (TRS-2P) after acute myocardial infarction. Methods We used data from the 2010 French Registry of Acute ST-Elevation or non-ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction (FAST-MI) registry, including 4169 consecutive acute myocardial infarction patients admitted to cardiac intensive care units in France. Level of risk was stratified in three groups using the TRS-2P score: group 1 (low-risk; TRS-2P=0/1); group 2 (intermediate-risk; TRS-2P=2); and group 3 (high-risk; TRS-2P≥3). Appropriate secondary prevention treatment was defined according to the latest guidelines (dual antiplatelet therapy and moderate/high dose statins for all; new-P2Y12 inhibitors, angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin-receptor-blockers and beta-blockers as indicated). Results Prevalence of groups 1, 2 and 3 was 46%, 25% and 29% respectively. Appropriate secondary prevention treatment at discharge was used in 39.5%, 37% and 28% of each group, respectively. After multivariate adjustment, evidence-based treatments at discharge were associated with lower rates of major adverse cardiovascular events (death, re-myocardial infarction or stroke) at five years especially in high-risk patients: hazard ratio = 0.82 (95% confidence interval: 0.59–1.12, p = 0.21) in group 1, 0.74 (0.54–1.01; p = 0.06) in group 2, and 0.64 (0.52–0.79, p < 0.001) in group 3. Conclusions Use of appropriate secondary prevention treatment at discharge was inversely correlated with patient risk. The increased hazard related to lack of prescription of recommended medications was much larger in high-risk patients. Specific efforts should be directed at better prescription of recommended treatment, particularly in high-risk patients.

Few studies examine the association between serum uric acid (SUA) and acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We aimed to investigate the association between SUA and ACS in a prospective study of ethnic Chinese. Enrolled were 128569 adults ≥ 20 yrs from 4 MJ Health Checkup Clinics in Taiwan during 1994 –1996, excluding those with heart disease, stroke, renal disease and cancer disease. All physical examination, biochemical test and structured questionnaire were executed in standardized central labs. ACS was defined by main ICD-9 of 410 – 414 from claim data of National Health Insurance for hospitalization and from Death certification registry. Cox proportional hazard model was used to estimate the hazard ratios (HRs) between levels of SUA and ACS events. A total of 2049 subjects (Men: 1239/Women: 810) developed ACS during the period from baseline to Dec.31.2002. Men had higher ACS incidence than women (2.84 vs. 1.61 per 1000 person-years [PY]; p < .0001). Independent risk factors of ACS unfolded from this study included age, male sex, waist circumference, body mass index, triglycerides, total-cholesterol, hypertension, diabetes, uric acid, and current smoking. The crude incidences of ACS were 1.27, 2.06, 3.27 and 4.61 per 1000 PY in that order for four consecutive SUA groups (group1: <5.0 mg/dl; group 2: 5.0 – 6.9 mg/dl; group 3: 7.0 – 8.9 mg/dl; group 4: ≥9.0 mg/dl) (p-value for trend <.0001). Compared to group1, the multi-variate adjusted HRs (95% Confidence intervals) were 1.14 (0.92, 1.42) for group 2, 1.38 (1.10, 1.72) for group 3 and 1.38 (1.10, 1.72) for group 4 among men, and 1.03 (0.87, 1.22), 1.30 (1.05, 1.62) and 1.43 (0.99, 2.05) among women after adjusting for age, systolic/diastolic BP, body mass index, triglycerides, total cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, alcohol drinking, physical activity, and occupation. One standard deviation increase in SUA corresponded to around 30% ACS risk increase in women (HR=1.33; 1.04 –1.70) and 60% in men (HR=1.59; 1.25–2.03). Baseline SUA level independently predicts the development of ACS and should be considered as a potential risk factor of ACS.
