Aim: To investigate correlations of long noncoding RNA metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (lnc-MALAT1) and its target microRNAs with clinical features and restenosis risk in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients post drug-eluting stent-percutaneous coronary intervention (DES-PCI). Materials & methods: A total of 274 CHD patients undergoing DES-PCI were enrolled, pre-operative plasma samples were obtained to detect lnc-MALAT1, miR-125b, miR-146a, miR-203 by RT-qPCR; 2-year restenosis was determined by quantitative coronary angiography. Results: Lnc-MALAT1 negatively correlated with miR-125b, miR-146a and miR-203. Furthermore, lnc-MALAT1, miR-125b, miR-146a and miR-203 correlated with diabetes mellitus, hyperuricemia, lesion properties, cholesterol, inflammation and cardiac function indexes. Additionally, lnc-MALAT1 was increased, while miR-125b and miR-146a were decreased in patients with 2-year restenosis than patients without 2-year restenosis; however, miR-203 did not differ. Conclusion: Lnc-MALAT1 and its target miRNAs might help manage restenosis risk in CHD patients post DES-PCI.

Background: Aim of the study was to evaluate the primary procedural success of percutaneous coronary intervention of unprotected left main coronary artery stenosis using either Bare-metal stents or drug eluting stent. Methods: Total 33 patients were enrolled in this very preliminary non-randomized prospective cohort study. Among them, Male: 25 and Female: 8. Total 35 stents were deployed. Mean age were for Male: 59 yrs, for Female: 62 yrs. Associated coronary artery diseases risk factors were dyslipidemia, High Blood pressure, Diabetes Mellitus, Positive family history for coronary artery diseases and smoking. Results: Among the study group; 26 (78%) were Dyslipidemic, 24(70%) were hypertensive; 17 (51.5%) patients were Diabetic, 11(33%) were smoker and 7(21%) patients had family history of Ischaemic heart disease. Female patients were more obese (BMI M 26: F 27) and developed coronary artery diseases in advance age. Common stented territory were left main: 20 (60%), Left main to left anterior descending artery 7 (22%) and Left main to left circumflex artery 6 (18%). Average length and diameter of stent was 3.5 and 18 mm respectively. Stent used: Bare Metal Stent 5 (15%), Drug Eluting Stent: 28 (85%). Among the different Drug Eluting Stents, Everolimus eluting stents were 11 (39.3%), Sirolimus eluting 10(35.7%), Paclitaxel eluting 3 (10.7%), Biolimus eluting 3 (10.7%) and Zotarolimus eluting1 (3.6%). In the present study, overall survival outcome was 94% (31 patient), mortality of cardiac cause 3% (1 patient) and 1 patient (3%) died of hepatocellular carcinoma. Conclusion: Our study has shown that percutaneous coronary intervention of the unprotected left main is a safe and effective alternative to Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG).

The Mehran risk score (MRS) was used to classify patients with coronary heart disease and evaluate the preventive effect of alprostadil on contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) after percutaneous coronary intervention. The patients (n = 1146) were randomized into an alprostadil and control group and then divided into 3 groups on the basis of the MRS: low-risk, moderate-risk, and high-risk groups. The primary end point was the occurrence of CIN (alprostadil + hydration vs simple hydration treatment); secondary end points included serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine clearance rate, cystatin C, interleukin-6, C-reactive protein, proteinuria, and differences in the incidence of major adverse events. In the low-risk, moderate-risk, and high-risk groups, the incidence of CIN in the control and alprostadil group was 2.9 versus 2.6% ( P = .832), 11.4 versus 4.9% ( P = .030), 19.1 versus 7.7% ( P = .041), respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that alprostadil treatment was a favorable protective factor for moderate-risk and high-risk CIN patients (OR = 0.343, 95% CI: 0.124-0.951, P = .040). Alprostadil can be used as a preventive treatment for moderate- and high-risk CIN patients classified by the MRS. The reduction of CIN by alprostadil may be related to an anti-inflammatory effect.

Objective: Antiplatelet therapy is recommended in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) who had the percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedure to reduce major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). There has been a lack of population-based studies that showed the superior effectiveness of ticagrelor over clopidogrel and similar studies have not been conducted in Indonesia yet. The aim of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of ticagrelor compared to clopidogrel in reducing the risk of MACE in patients with CHD after PCI.Methods: A retrospective cohort study with 1-year follow-up was conducted. 361 patients consisted of 111 patients with ticagrelor exposure and 250 patients with clopidogrel exposure. The primary outcome was MACE, defined as a composite of repeat revascularization, myocardial infarction, or all-cause death. The association between antiplatelet exposure and the MACE was analyzed with Cox proportional hazard regression, adjusted for sex, age, comorbid, PCI procedures and concomitant therapy.Results: MACE occurred in 22.7% of the subjects. Clopidogrel had a significantly higher risk of MACE compared with ticagrelor (28.8%, vs 9.0%, hazard ratio (HR): 1.96 (95% CI 1.01 to 3.81, p=0.047). There were no significant differences in risk of repeat revascularization (20.40% vs 5.40%, HR: 2.32, 95% CI 0.99 to 5.42, p = 0.05), myocardial infarction (11.60% vs 3.60%, HR: 2.08, 95% CI, 0.73 to 5.93, p = 0.17), and death (1.60% vs 1.80%, HR: 0.77, 95% CI, 0.14 to 4.25, p = 0.77).Conclusion: Clopidogrel had a higher risk of MACE compared to clopidogrel in patients with CHD after PCI, but there were no significant differences in the risk of repeat revascularization, myocardial infarction, and all-cause death.

BackgroundPopulation-based coronary heart disease (CHD) studies have focused on myocardial infarction (MI) with limited data on trends across the spectrum of CHD. We investigated trends in hospitalisation rates for acute and chronic CHD subgroups in England and Australia from 1996 to 2013.MethodsCHD hospitalisations for individuals aged 35–84 years were identified from electronic hospital data from 1996 to 2013 for England and Australia and from the Oxford Region and Western Australia. CHD subgroups identified were acute coronary syndromes (ACS) (MI and unstable angina) and chronic CHD (stable angina and ‘other CHD’). We calculated age-standardised and age-specific rates and estimated annual changes (95% CI) from age-adjusted Poisson regression.ResultsFrom 1996 to 2013, there were 4.9 million CHD hospitalisations in England and 2.6 million in Australia (67% men). From 1996 to 2003, there was between-country variation in the direction of trends in ACS and chronic CHD hospitalisation rates (p<0.001). During 2004–2013, reductions in ACS hospitalisation rates were greater than for chronic CHD hospitalisation rates in both countries, with the largest subgroup declines in unstable angina (England: men: −7.1 %/year, 95% CI −7.2 to –7.0; women: −7.5 %/year, 95% CI −7.7 to –7.3; Australia: men: −8.5 %/year, 95% CI −8.6 to –8.4; women: −8.6 %/year, 95% CI −8.8 to –8.4). Other CHD rates increased in individuals aged 75–84 years in both countries. Chronic CHD comprised half of all CHD admissions, with the majority involving angiography or percutaneous coronary intervention.ConclusionsSince 2004, rates of all CHD subgroups have fallen, with greater declines in acute than chronic presentations. The slower declines and high proportion of chronic CHD admissions undergoing coronary procedures requires greater focus.
