Appearance of serum creatine kinase MB fraction (CK-MB), reflecting the periprocedural myonecrosis, after successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with future cardiac adverse events. The intracoronary adenosine on the incidence of myonecrosis after elective PCI was assessed. In this prospective, case control study with a total of 60 patients, 30 cases pretreated with 50 micro grams bolus intracoronary adenosine before advancement of guidewire and 30 controls not pretreated was studied during elective PCI. Both groups received statin and loading dose of Clopidogrel. Myonecrosis was assessed by CK-MB level after PCI. Post procedural myonecrosis occurred in 16.7 % (n=5) in case group and 36.7 % (n=11) in control group (OR=1.818; 95% CI 0.841; P=0.080). The result is not statistically significant but shows that the incidence of myonecrosis was reduced from 36.7% to 16.7%. Intracoronary adenosine reduces the incidence of myonecrosis after elective PCI.

Background: As an invasive modality, a coronary angioplasty may cause a great deal of anxiety in patients and affect their mental health and general well-being. Accordingly, we sought to assess whether showing patients the video of their elective percutaneous coronary intervention (angiogram) could affect their illness perception and anxiety level. Materials and Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, the patients undergoing angioplasty, were randomly divided into two groups of 30 patients. Angiograms were shown only to the intervention group postprocedurally. A checklist comprising demographic data and clinical presentations as well as the Beck anxiety questionnaire and the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ) was completed for each patient immediately after the intervention and one month later. The differences in the patients’ anxiety level and illness perception were analyzed. Results: In the intervention group, the mean anxiety score before and after watching the angiograms was 34.26 ± 8.1 and 24.4 ± 8.56, respectively. While in the control group, the score before and after angioplasty was 34.46 ± 9.34 and 26.6 ± 9.44, respectively. Thus, watching angiograms led to a significant decrease in the anxiety score in the intervention group, whereas there was no such difference in the control group. There was also a considerable difference in the anxiety score between the two groups. Further, there was a significant decrease in the BIPQ score of the intervention group after watching the angioplasty videos. Conclusion: Educating cardiovascular patients about diagnostic and therapeutic procedures may confer such good outcomes as alleviated anxiety, enhanced satisfaction, and ultimately, fewer anxiety-related complications.

Purpose: Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is the third cause of hospital-acquired renal failure and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Several studies have revealed the protective role of omega-3 in prevention and treatment of some kidney injuries. This study was conducted to examine the effect of omega-3 supplementation on the markers of renal function and to evaluate its potential in the prevention of CIN in patients undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: In this double-blind, randomized clinical trial, 85 eligible patients scheduled for PCI was randomly divided into omega-3 (a single 3750 mg dose of omega-3 as well as routine hydration therapy within 12 hours before PCI) or control (placebo plus routine hydration therapy) groups. Serum creatinine (SCr) and cystatin C levels were measured at baseline and 24 hours after PCI. Results: Our results indicated that post- PCI cystatin C levels were significantly decreased in the omega-3 group compared to the control group (P < 0.001). Although less upward manner was seen in the level of 24-hour creatinine in the omega-3 group, it did not reach the significance level (P = 0.008). Conclusion: The positive effect of omega-3 on cystatin C levels showed that it may have a protective role in the prevention of CIN in post-PCI patients with normal kidney function. However, to better assess this effect, it is highly recommended to design future studies with higher doses and longer duration of therapy with omega-3 plus long-term follow up.

ObjectivesTo investigate the changes in serum myeloperoxidase (MPO), interleukin (IL)-17A and heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF) levels before and after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and to evaluate the associations of MPO, IL-17A and HB-EGF levels with the 1-year restenosis rate.DesignCase–control study.SettingsXiangyang Central Hospital between January 2012 and December 2017.ParticipantsPatients with coronary heart disease who underwent PCI.InterventionsNot applicable.Primary and secondary outcome measuresNot applicable.ResultsFinally, 407 and 132 patients were included in the control and in-stent restenosis (ISR) groups, respectively. The general clinical characteristics of the patients were not significantly different between the two groups. The MPO, IL-17A and HB-EGF levels were not significantly different between the two groups at baseline but significantly increased after PCI. The ISR group showed higher levels of MPO, IL-17A and HB-EGF compared with the control group at all postoperative time points. Multivariable analysis showed that MPO, IL-17A and HB-EGF were associated with increased ISR [MPO (OR=1.003; 95% CI: 1.001 to 1.005; p=0.002), IL-17A (OR=1.015; 95% CI: 1.009 to 1.020; p<0.0001) and HB-EGF (OR=2.256; 95% CI: 1.103 to 4.009; p=0.002)]. All three factors had sensitivity and specificity ≥68% for ISR.ConclusionsHB-EGF could be used for the detection of ISR after PCI and could be of use for the prediction of ISR, but the value of MPO and IL-17A might be more limited. This will have to be validated in future studies.
