Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the most common causes of temporary incapacity, disability and mortality in the adult population of developed countries. Despite a trend in recent years to reduce mortality from cardiovascular disease, the indicator remains high in Russia. One of the main conditions to improve immediate and long-term prognosis of patients after MI, is to conduct a comprehensive cardio-rehabilitation, which is an important component of drug therapy. The article presents the characteristics of drug therapy and its influence on the course of post-MI at 5-year follow-up on the basis of "Register of acute MI". As a result of the frequency, VEN-analysis revealed no significant differences in the main groups of drugs prescribed in different periods after acute MI. At the same time it found that patients with unfavorable course of postinfarction period, significantly more often treated with inadequate doses of b-blockers, who were appointed at hospital discharge and then titrated with the annual and 5-year follow-up. The lower frequency of the appointment of vital medicines (based on VEN-analysis) was detected in patients with unfavorable course of postinfarction period as the baseline, and after a year, and 5 years after MI. Installed features of drug use have an impact on the clinical course of postinfarction period and the development of negative cardiovascular events.

Background: Available data comparing long-term prognosis according to the type of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are scarce, contradictory, and outdated. Our aim was to compare short- and long-term mortality in ST-elevated (STEMI) and non-ST-elevated myocardial infarction (non-STEMI) ACS patients. Methods: Patients presenting with an inaugural ACS during the year 2006 and living in one of the three areas in France covered by the Monitoring of Trends and Determinants in Cardiovascular Disease (MONICA) registry were included. Results: A total of 1822 patients with a first ACS—1121 (61.5%) STEMI and 701 (38.5%) non-STEMI—were included in the study. At the 28-day follow-up, the mortality rates were 6.7% and 4.7% (p = 0.09) for STEMI and non-STEMI patients, respectively, and after adjustment of potential confounding factors, the 28-day probability of death was significantly lower for non-STEMI ACS patients (Odds Ratio = 0.58 (0.36–0.94), p = 0.03). At the 10-year follow-up, the death rates were 19.6% and 22.8% (p = 0.11) for STEMI and non-STEMI patients, respectively, and after adjustment of potential confounding factors, the 10-year probability of death did not significantly differ between non-STEMI and STEMI events (OR = 1.07 (0.83–1.38), p = 0.59). Over the first year, the mortality rate was 7.2%; it then decreased and stabilized at 1.7% per year between the 2nd and 10th year following ACS. Conclusion: STEMI patients have a worse vital prognosis than non-STEMI patients within 28 days following ACS. However, at the 10-year follow-up, STEMI and non-STEMI patients have a similar vital prognosis. From the 2nd year onwards following the occurrence of a first ACS, the patients become stable coronary artery disease patients with an annual mortality rate in the 2% range, regardless of the type of ACS they initially present with.

Objective To define the human papillomavirus (HPV) subtypes seen in a large adult population with traditionally defined recurrent respiratory papillomatosis. Study Design Retrospective review. Setting Tertiary care laryngology practice. Subjects and Methods All patients had a firm diagnosis of recurrent respiratory papillomatosis defined by (1) visually obvious papillomas, (2) recurrence requiring multiple surgeries, and (3) pathology diagnosis of “papilloma.” Each patient had also undergone HPV subtyping. Age, sex, presence of malignancy, and HPV subtypes were tabulated and correlated with long-term patient outcomes. Results A total of 184 patients were identified who fulfilled the above criteria. In total, 87.0% (160) had a low risk subtype; 9.2% had an alternative subtype. These consisted of subtypes 16, 18, 31, 44, 45, 55, and 70. Four patients (2.2%) had combinations of subtypes, with 1 patient with HPV 11 and 16, 1 patient with HPV 11 and 76, 1 patient with 11 and 84, and 1 patient with 18 and 45. Finally, 3.8% of patients were HPV negative, despite fulfilling all 3 criteria listed above. Conclusion In the patient population above, almost 10% of patients had an HPV subtype other than 6 and 11. This suggests that traditionally defined recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) can be caused by HPV subtypes other than 6 and/or 11. In addition, the clinical course of persons with this definition of RRP appears to vary by subtype, and this information may offer the ability to nuance follow-up instructions, reducing in particular the burden placed upon patients who have RRP caused by subtypes 6 and 11.

Abstract Purpose To assess survival trends after ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in patients with a prior cancer diagnosis and to evaluate the drivers of prognosis over a follow-up period of five years. Methods Patients with a known cancer diagnosis, admitted with STEMI between 2004–2014 and treated with primary PCI were recruited from the STEMI-clinical registry of our institution. Detailed information on cancer diagnosis, -stage, and treatment regimen were collected from the institutional and national cancer registry system and all patients were followed prospectively. Results In the 215 included patients the cumulative incidence of all-cause death after 5 years of follow-up was 38.2% (N=61). The cause of death was predominantly malignancy-related (N=29, 47.4% of deaths) and only 9 patients (14.8% of deaths) died of a cardiovascular cause. After correcting for age and sex – a recent cancer diagnosis (<1yr relative to >10 yr, HR 3.405 [95% CI: 1.552–7.470], p=0.002), distant metastasis at presentation (HR 2.603 [1.236–5.481], p=0.012), ongoing cancer treatment at presentation (HR 1.878 [1.015–3.475], p=0.045) and natural logarithm of maximum creatinine kinase level (HR 1.345 [1.044–1.733], p=0.022) were significant predictors of long-term mortality. While prevalent renal insufficiency showed significant association with all-cause mortality (HR 2.302 [1.289–4.111], p=0.005), other known determinants of long-term prognosis after STEMI – a history of diabetes mellitus (HR 1.250 [0.566–2.761], p=0.581), hypertension (HR 0.623 [0.393–1.085], p=0.150), and culprit vessel left anterior descending artery or left main artery (HR 1.066 [0.641–1.771], p=0.806) were not significantly associated with survival at 5-years follow-up. Conclusion Cancer patients admitted with STEMI have a poor survival with one third of patients died at 5 year follow up. Cancer was the most common cause of death and malignancy-related factors made a significant impact on prognosis, while most of the established cardiovascular determinants of prognosis were not significantly associated with long-term survival.

Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), a widely expressed pleiotropic cytokine, is reportedly involved in several cardiovascular diseases, in addition to inflammatory diseases. Plasma MIF levels are elevated in the early phase of acute cardiac infarction. This study is aimed at investigating the correlation between plasma MIF levels and cardiac function and prognosis in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) with or without diabetes mellitus. Overall, 204 patients with STEMI who underwent emergency percutaneous coronary intervention were enrolled: 57 and 147 patients in the diabetes and nondiabetes STEMI groups, respectively. Sixty-five healthy people were selected as controls. Plasma MIF levels were measured at the time of diagnosis. Basic clinical data and echocardiographic findings within 72 h of admission were collected. Patients were followed up, and echocardiograms were reviewed at the 12-month follow-up. Plasma MIF levels were significantly higher in the diabetes and nondiabetes STEMI groups than in the control group and in patients with Killip grade≥II STEMI than in those with Killip grade I. Plasma MIF levels were negatively correlated with the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of myocardial infarction in patients with or without diabetes in the acute phase of infarction, whereas the left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) was positively correlated. MIF levels in the nondiabetes STEMI group were positively correlated with N-terminal pro-b-type natriuretic peptide levels and were associated with LVEF and LVDD at the 12-month follow-up. The risk of adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events was significantly higher in the MIF high-level group (≥52.7 ng/mL) than in the nondiabetes STEMI group 36 months after presentation. Thus, MIF levels in STEMI patients with or without diabetes can reflect acute cardiac function. In STEMI patients without diabetes, MIF levels can also indicate cardiac function and long-term prognosis at the 12-month follow-up.

Abstract Background There are conflicting data about the proportion and prognosis of patients (pts) with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA). Purpose To define the incidence and prognosis of MINOCA pts in different types of AMI. Methods The Hungarian Myocardial Infarction Registry (HUMIR) is a nationwide, mandatory database in which the clinical and demographic informations of patients with AMI are recorded. Between January 1, 2014 and June 30, 2018, a total of 45,223 AMI (ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) n=22,469) pts were registered. After excluding pts with previous AMI, PCI, CABG, and congestive heart failure, 2003 MINOCA pts were found (MINOCA group), while 43,220 AMI pts had obstructive coronary artery disease (MI-CAD group). Results The proportion of pts with MINOCA disease was 4.4% among the total pts with AMI. The prevalence was higher in the non ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) group (n=1546, 6.8%) than in the STEMI (n=457, 2.0%) group. The pts with MINOCA disease were slightly younger compared to the pts with MI-CAD (mean age 64.0±14.4 vs. 65.5±12.2 years respectively). The proportion of women was higher in the MINOCA group than in the MI-CAD group (55.7% vs. 36.5%). At discharge, pts with MINOCA disease were less likely to be prescribed certain drugs compared to the pts with MI-CAD. These include aspirin (85.4% vs. 95.6%), RAAS blockers (83.8% vs. 90.4%), statins (86.2% vs. 94.7%), β-blockers (86.8% vs. 89.8%) for the MINOCA and MI-CAD groups respetively. At the 1-year follow-up, the incidence of new AMI events was 1.6% in the MINOCA group compared with 5.0% in the MI-CAD group (HR=2.79). All-cause mortality was higher among the pts with MI-CAD compared to the pts with MINOCA disease. In the MINOCA group, among the pts with NSTEMI, men and women had similar outcomes at 30 days, but men had somewhat higher mortality at one and two years. In contrast, in the STEMI group, women had higher mortality compared to men at all time points during the study (Table 1). Mortality among MINOCA and MI-CAD pts Mortality MINOCA (n=2003) MI-CAD (n=43,220) MINOCA – STEMI MINOCA – NSTEMI Men (n=218) Women (n=239) Men (n=669) Womenr (n=877) 30-day 5.9% [4.9–7.0] 8.4% [8.1–8.7] 8.7% [4.9–12.4] 13.4% [9–17.6] 4.3% [2.8–5.9] 4.4% [3.1–5.8] 1-year 12.5% [11.0–14.0] 15.6% [15.3–16.0] 12.1% [7.6–16.4] 20.3% [15–25.2] 12.2% [9.6–14.7] 10.8% [8.7–12.8] 2-year 16.7% [14.9–18.5] 19.9% [19.5–20.3] 18.2% [12.4–23.6] 23.6% [17.8–29] 16.9% [13.8–20] 14.3% [11.7–16.7] 95% confidence interval in brackets. Conclusion The population-level incidence of MINOCA disease was 4.4% in AMI; the incidence was higher in the NSTEMI group compared to the STEMI group (6.8% vs. 2.0%). Despite the benign anatomy, the long-term prognosis is poor, especially in women after STEMI: 1 out of 4 pts died at the two-year follow up. Acknowledgement/Funding None

Background: The relationship between fasting hyperglycemia (FHG) and new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is unclear, and whether their co-occurrence is associated with a worse in-hospital and long-term prognosis than FHG or AF alone is unknown.Objective: To explore the correlation between FHG and new-onset AF in patients with AMI, and their impact on in-hospital and long-term all-cause mortality.Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study comprising 563 AMI patients. The patients were divided into the FHG group and the NFHG group. The incidence of new-onset AF during hospitalization was compared between the two groups and sub-groups under different Killip grades. Logistic regression was used to assess the association between FHG and new-onset AF. In-hospital mortality and long-term all-cause mortality were compared among patients with FHG, AF, and with both FHG and AF according to 10 years of follow-up information.Results: New-onset AF occurred more frequently in the FHG group than in the NFHG group (21.6 vs. 9.2%, p < 0.001). This trend was observed for Killip grade I (16.6 vs. 6.5%, p = 0.002) and Grade II (17.1 vs. 6.9%, p = 0.005), but not for Killip grade III–IV (40 vs. 33.3%, p = 0.761). Logistic regression showed FHG independently correlated with new-onset AF (OR, 2.56; 95% CI, 1.53–4.30; P < 0.001), and 1 mmol/L increased in fasting glucose was associated with a 5% higher rate of new-onset AF, after adjustment for traditional AF risk factors. AMI patients complicated with both fasting hyperglycemia and AF showed the highest in-hospital mortality and long-term all-cause mortality during an average of 11.2 years of follow-up. Multivariate Cox regression showed FHG combined with AF independently correlated with long-term all-cause mortality after adjustment for other traditional risk factors (OR = 3.13, 95% CI 1.64–5.96, p = 0.001), compared with the group with neither FHG nor new-onset AF.Conclusion: FHG was an independent risk factor for new-onset AF in patients with AMI. AMI patients complicated with both FHG and new-onset AF showed worse in-hospital and long-term all-cause mortality than with FHG or AF alone.
