Aims: The present study aimed to investigate the prognostic role of derived neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (dNLR) in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) after PCI.Methods: A total of 3,561 post-PCI patients with CHD were retrospectively enrolled in the CORFCHD-ZZ study from January 2013 to December 2017. The patients (3,462) were divided into three groups according to dNLR tertiles: the first tertile (dNLR < 1.36; n = 1,139), second tertile (1.36 ≥ dNLR < 1.96; n = 1,166), and third tertile(dNLR ≥ 1.96; n = 1,157). The mean follow-up time was 37.59 ± 22.24 months. The primary endpoint was defined as mortality (including all-cause death and cardiac death), and the secondary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs).Results: There were 2,644 patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and 838 patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) in the present study. In the total population, the all-cause mortality (ACM) and cardiac mortality (CM) incidence was significantly higher in the third tertile than in the first tertile [hazard risk (HR) = 1.8 (95% CI: 1.2–2.8), p = 0.006 and HR = 2.1 (95% CI: 1.23–3.8), p = 0.009, respectively]. Multivariate Cox regression analyses suggested that compared with the patients in the first tertile than those in the third tertile, the risk of ACM was increased 1.763 times (HR = 1.763, 95% CI: 1.133–2.743, p = 0.012), and the risk of CM was increased 1.763 times (HR = 1.961, 95% CI: 1.083–3.550, p = 0.026) in the higher dNLR group during the long-term follow-up. In both ACS patients and CCS patients, there were significant differences among the three groups in the incidence of ACM in univariate analysis. We also found that the incidence of CM was significantly different among the three groups in CCS patients in both univariate analysis (HR = 3.541, 95% CI: 1.154–10.863, p = 0.027) and multivariate analysis (HR = 3.136, 95% CI: 1.015–9.690, p = 0.047).Conclusion: The present study suggested that dNLR is an independent and novel predictor of mortality in CHD patients who underwent PCI.

Background: Healthcare resource utilization and costs associated with cardiovascular events among patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are needed to assess the value of treatments. Methods: A retrospective analysis of a large US administrative claims database (1/1/2006-12/31/2011) was conducted to describe episodes of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE: hospitalization for stroke, myocardial infarction (MI), or cardiac arrest) in adults with CHD and ACS, respectively. The CHD cohort (n=245,185) had either a diagnosis of MI, a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedure or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), or both, a CHD diagnosis and a multiple vessel coronary procedure, at a minimum. The ACS cohort (N= 75,231, not mutually exclusive with CHD) had ≥1 ACS-related hospitalization. The index date was the first observed cohort-specific disease claim and the 30-day period following the service date of the index episode or discharge date (for hospitalizations). Patients were required to have continuous health plan enrollment for 12 months +/- the index episode. HF, MI, and cardiac arrest diagnoses did not specify whether they were fatal or not. Results: Mean age in both cohorts was ~65 years and ~66% were male. The overall MI rate during the 12-month follow-up period was 15.6 and 26.4 per 1,000 person years for CHD and ACS patient, respectively. Among patients with at least one MACE, 286 CHD patients (4.8% of those with an event) and 137 ACS patients (5.5% of those with an event) experienced a second event during the 12-month follow-up period. Mean (SD) total episode-related costs per patient were $19,230 ($34,983) for CHD patients and $23,490 ($36,749) for ACS patients. Inpatient hospitalization represented the highest proportion of costs at 86.9% of CHD and 95.0% of ACS episode-related costs, while CVD-related pharmacotherapy mean costs (SD) were only $226 ($293) and $228 ($294) per patient for CHD and ACS, respectively. Conclusions: CHD and ACS are resource intensive diseases in the first year after index episode, with most costs related to hospitalizations. Outpatient cardiovascular drug costs make up a small proportion of the total costs.

Fibrinolysis Shutdown

Abstract Background：Dual antiplatelet therapy can reduce coronary thrombosis and improve the prognosis in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, there was limited prognostic information about fibrinolytic dysregulation in patients with ACS. This study is aimed to evaluated the prevalence and impact of fibrinolytic dysregulation in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).Methods：We retrospectively analyzed coagulation and fibrinolysis related indexes of ACS in hospitalized adults with rapid thrombelastography between May 2016 and December 2018. All of the follow-up visits were ended by December 2019. The primary outcome was the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), which included unstable angina pectoris, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal cerebral infarction, heart failure and all-cause death. Results：338 patients were finally included with an average age of 62.5 ± 12.8 years old, 273 (80.5%) were males, 137(40.5%) patients were with STEMI. Fibrinolysis shutdown and hyperfibrinolysis were observed among 163 (48.2%) and 76(22.5%) patients, respectively. During a total of 603.2 person·years of follow-up period, 77 MACEs occurred (22.8%). Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that age [HR: 1.031 95% CI: 1.007-1.056, P = 0.012] and LY30 [HR: 1.097, 95% CI: 1.013-1.188, P = 0.023] were independently correlated with the occurrence of MACEs. The hazard ratios pertaining to MACEs in patients with LY30＜0.8% and ＞3.0% compared with those in the physiologic range(LY30: 0.8-3.0%) were 2.275 [HR: 2.275, 95% CI: 1.241-1.241, P = 0.003] and 1.196 [HR: 1.196, 95% CI: 0.679-2.109,P=0.535], respectively.Conclusions: Fibrinolytic dysregulation is very common in selected patients with ACS, and hyperfibrinolysis (HF) (LY30 >3%) is associated with poor outcomes in patients with ACS

Waist To Hip Ratio

Background: Heart failure (HF) is considered one of the most common complications of coronary heart disease (CHD), with a higher incidence of readmission and mortality. Thus, exploring the risk factors related to the prognosis is necessary. Moreover, the effect of the waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) on HF patients with revascularized CHD is still unclear. Thus, we aimed to assess the influence of WHR on the prognosis of HF patients with revascularized CHD.Methods: We collected data of HF patients with revascularized CHD who were referred to the Cardiac Rehabilitation Clinic of PLA Hospital from June 30, 2015, to June 30, 2019. Cox proportional hazard regression analysis was used to determine the relationship between WHR and prognosis of HF patients with revascularized CHD. Patients were divided into higher and lower WHR groups based on the cutoff WHR value calculated by the X-tile software. Cox regression analysis was used to analysis the two groups. We drew the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) of WHR and analyzed the differences between the two groups. Endpoints were defined as major adverse cardiac events (MACE) (including all-cause mortality, non-fatal myocardial infarction, unscheduled revascularization, and stroke).Results: During the median follow-up of 39 months and maximum follow-up of 54 months, 109 patients were enrolled, of which 91.7% were males, and the mean age was 56.0 ± 10.4 years. WHR was associated with the incidence of MACE in the Cox regression analysis (p = 0.001); an increase in WHR of 0.01 unit had a hazard ratio (HR) of 1.134 (95%CI: 1.057–1.216). The WHR cutoff value was 0.93. Patients in the higher WHR group had a significantly higher risk of MACE than those in the lower WHR group (HR = 7.037, 95%CI: 1.758–28.168). The ROC area under the curve was 0.733 at 4 years. Patients in the higher WHR group had a higher body mass index (BMI; 26.7 ± 3.5 vs. 25.4 ± 2.4, P = 0.033) than patients in the lower WHR group.Conclusions: WHR is an independent risk factor of the long-term prognosis of Chinese HF patients with revascularized CHD. Patients with WHR ≥ 0.93 require intensified treatment. Higher WHR is related to higher BMI and ΔVO2/ΔWR.

Abstract Aims Trimethyllysine (TML) is involved in carnitine synthesis, serves as a precursor of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) and is associated with cardiovascular events in patients with established coronary heart disease (CHD). We prospectively examined circulating TML as a predictor of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in community-dwelling adults and patients with CHD. Methods and Results By Cox regression modelling, risk associations were examined in 6393 subjects in the community-based Hordaland Health Study (HUSK). A replication study was conducted among 4117 patients with suspected stable angina pectoris in the Western Norway Coronary Angiography Cohort (WECAC). During a mean follow-up of 10.5 years in the HUSK-cohort, 884 (13.8%) subjects died, of whom 287 from cardiovascular causes. After multivariable adjustments for traditional cardiovascular risk factors, the hazard ratio (HR) (95% CI) for all-cause mortality comparing the 4th vs. 1st TML-quartile was 1.66 (1.31-2.10, p < 0.001). Particularly strong associations were observed for cardiovascular mortality (HR [95% CI] 2.04 [1.32-3.15, p = 0.001]). Corresponding risk-estimates in the WECAC (mean follow-up of 9.8 years) were 1.35 [1.10-1.66, p = 0.004] for all-cause and 1.45 [1.06-1.98, p = 0.02] for cardiovascular mortality. Significant correlations between plasma TML and TMAO were observed in both cohorts (rs≥0.42, p < 0.001); however, additional adjustments for TMAO did not materially influence the risk associations, and no effect modification by TMAO was found. Conclusion Elevated TML-levels were associated with increased risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality both in subjects with and without established CHD.

Abstract Background We examined the association between annual changes in job strain and incident coronary heart disease (CHD) in a population-based cohort study in Denmark. Methods We studied all workers residing in Denmark in 2000, aged 30-59 years with no prevalent CHD (N = 1,660,150). Using a job exposure matrix (JEM) with annual updates, we assessed changes in job strain from 2000-2009. Incident CHD was identified in hospital and death registers from 2001 to 2010. Using Cox regression, we calculated hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the association between annual changes in job strain and incident CHD. Results During 16.1 million person-years (mean time of follow-up: 9.7 years), we identified 24,159 CHD cases (15.0 per 10,000 person-years). Compared to persistent no job strain, persistent job strain (HR 1.07, 95% CI 1.03–1.10), onset of job strain (HR 1.20, 95% CI 1.12–1.29) and removal of job strain (HR 1.20, 95% CI 1.12–1.28) were associated with higher CHD incidence. Conclusions Persistent and onset of job strain was associated with a higher risk of CHD. Removal of job strain was also associated with a higher risk, which might be due to health selection. Our results suggest that job strain contributes to risk of CHD in the Danish workforce. Key messages Implementing JEM in a population-based cohort of more than 1.6 million workers enabled us to demonstrate associations between annual changes in job strain and risk of incident CHD.

Abstract Background Inflammation is involved in the pathogenesis and progression of coronary artery diseases (CADs), including acute coronary syndrome. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been identified as a novel marker of the pro-inflammatory state. We aimed to evaluate the predictive efficacy of the NLR for the prognosis of patients with new-onset ACS. Methods We retrospectively included consecutive patients with new-onset ACS treated with emergency coronary angiography. NLR was measured at baseline and analyzed by tertiles. The severity of coronary lesions was evaluated by the Gensini score. Correlations of NLR with the severity of CAD and the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular diseases (MACEs) during follow-up were determined. Results Overall, 737 patients were included. The NLR was positively correlated with the severity of coronary lesions as assessed by Gensini score (P < 0.05). During the follow-up period (mean, 43.49 ± 23.97 months), 65 MACEs occurred. No significant association was detected between baseline NLR and the risk of MACEs during follow-up by either Kaplan–Meier or Cox regression analysis. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that a higher NLR was independently associated with coronary lesion severity as measured by the Gensini score (1st tertile vs. 3rd tertile hazard ratio [HR]: 0.527, P < 0.001, and 2nd tertile vs. 3rd tertile HR: 0.474, P = 0.025). Conclusions The NLR may be associated with coronary disease severity at baseline but is not associated with adverse outcomes in patients with new-onset ACS. Ethics Approval Number 2019XE0208

However, there was limited prognostic information about fibrinolytic dysregulation in patients with ACS. This study is aimed to evaluated the prevalence and impact of fibrinolytic dysregulation in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

The primary outcome was the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), which included unstable angina pectoris, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal cerebral infarction, heart failure and all-cause death. Results Three hundred thirty-eight patients were finally included with an average age of 62.5 ± 12.8 years old, 273 (80.5%) were males, 137(40.5%) patients were with ST-elevation myocardial infraction. Fibrinolysis shutdown (LY30<0.8%) and hyperfibrinolysis (LY30 >3.0%) were observed among 163 (48.2%) and 76(22.5%) patients, respectively. During a total of 603.2 person·years of follow-up period, 77 MACEs occurred (22.8%). Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that LY30 [HR: 1.101, 95% CI: 1.010–1.200, P = 0.028] was independently correlated with the occurrence of MACEs. The hazard ratios pertaining to MACEs in patients with fibrinolysis shutdown and hyperfibrinolysis compared with those in the physiologic range (LY30: 0.8–3.0%) were 1.196 [HR: 1.196, 95% CI: 0.679–2.109,P = 0.535] and 2.275 [HR: 2.275, 95% CI: 1.241–4.172, P = 0.003], respectively. Conclusions Fibrinolytic dysregulation is very common in selected patients with ACS, and hyperfibrinolysis (LY30 > 3%) is associated with poor outcomes in patients with ACS.

Abstract BACKGROUND Increased cardiac troponin I or T detected by high-sensitivity assays (hs-cTnI or hs-cTnT) confers an increased risk of adverse prognosis. We determined whether patients presenting with putatively normal, detectable cTn concentrations [&gt; limit of detection and &lt; upper reference limit (URL)] have increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) or all-cause mortality. METHODS A prospective 5-year follow-up of patients recruited in the emergency department with possible acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and cTn concentrations measured with hs-cTnI (Abbott) and hs-cTnT (Roche) assays. Cox regression models were generated with adjustment for covariates in those without MACE on presentation. Hazard ratios (HRs) for hs-cTn were calculated relative to the HRs at the median concentration. RESULTS Of 1113 patients, 836 were without presentation MACE. Of these, 138 incurred a MACE and 169 died during a median 5.8-year follow-up. HRs for MACE at the URLs were 2.3 (95% CI, 1.7–3.2) for hs-cTnI and 1.8 (95% CI, 1.3–2.4) for hs-cTnT. Corresponding HRs for mortality were 1.7 (95% CI, 1.2–2.2) for hs-cTnI and 2.3 (95 % CI, 1.7–3.1) for hs-cTnT. The HR for MACE increased with increasing hs-cTn concentration similarly for both assays, but the HR for mortality increased at approximately twice the rate for hs-cTnT than hs-cTnI. Patients with hs-cTnI ≥10 ng/L or hs-cTnT ≥16 ng/L had the same percentage of MACE at 5-year follow-up (33%) as patients with presentation MACE. CONCLUSIONS Many patients with ACS ruled out and putatively normal but detectable hs-cTnI concentrations are at similar long-term risk as those with MACE. hs-cTnT concentrations are more strongly associated with 5-year mortality than hs-cTnI.

Abstract The severity and complexity evaluation of coronary artery disease in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) require objective and accurate prognosis indexes. We assessed the relationship between lncRNA-Ang362 and prognosis of CHD patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Clinical follow-up data of CHD patients were prospectively collected. LncRNA-Ang362 levels were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Survival rate was calculated by the Kaplan–Meier method, and risk ratios and 95% confidence intervals were computed using univariate and multivariate COX proportional hazard models. Finally, 434 patients were included in the follow-up cohort. The median follow-up time was 24.8 months (6.7–40). The incidence of adverse cardiovascular events was 13.6%. The high expression group significantly tended to be smoker and higher body mass index, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, creatinine, and uric acid levels compared with the low expression group. According to the SYNTAX grade, the high-risk and medium-risk groups had significantly higher lncRNA expression levels than the low-risk group. The univariate COX regression analysis indicated that high lncRAN-Ang362 expression significantly increased the risk of adverse cardiovascular events in CHD patients after PCI (hazard risk (HR) = 3.19, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.29–7.92). Multivariate analysis found high lncRNA-Ang362 expression was independently related to worse prognosis in CHD patients after PCI (HR = 2.83, 95%CI: 1.34–6.02). Plasma lncRNA-Ang362 may be a prognosis factor in CHD patients after PCI. The patients with higher lncRNA-Ang362 expression usually have poor prognosis.
