Atrial Natriuretic

Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is secreted in response to the stretching of the atrial wall. Atrial ischemia most likely impairs the ability of atrial myocytes to produce ANP. Atrial infarction (AI) is rarely diagnosed but not infrequently associated with myocardial infarction (MI). The aim of the study was to assess the association between AI and the prognostic value of N-terminal proANP (NT-proANP) in patients with MI treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We evaluated data of 100 consecutive patients. Plasma levels of NT-proANP were measured by the ELISA method. ECG recordings were interpreted to diagnose AI according to Liu’s criteria. All patients were followed-up prospectively for 12 months for the manifestation of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), defined as unplanned coronary revascularization, stroke, reinfarction or all-cause death. AI was diagnosed in 36 patients. 14% of patients developed MACE. AI did not affect the incidence of MACE or any of its components, nor the patients’ prognosis. NT-proANP revealed to be a strong predictor of death but was not associated with other adverse events. Conclusions: AI in patients with MI treated with primary PCI is not connected with their prognosis nor affects the usefulness of NT-proANP in predicting death during the 12-month follow-up.

Objective: Although safety concerns still remain among patients undergoing unanticipated noncardiac surgery after prior percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), it has not been directly compared with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The objective of this study was to compare clinical outcomes after noncardiac surgery in patients with prior (>6 months) coronary revascularization by PCI or CABG. Methods: From February 2010 to December 2015, 413 patients with a history of coronary revascularization, scheduled for noncardiac surgery were identified. Patients were divided into PCI group and CABG group and postoperative clinical outcome was compared between 2 groups. The primary outcome was composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, and stroke in 1-year follow-up. Results: The 413 patients were divided according to prior coronary revascularization types: 236 (57.1%) into PCI and 177 (42.9%) into CABG group. In multivariate analysis within 1-year follow-up, there was no significant difference in clinical outcome which was composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, and stroke (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.50; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.76-2.93; P = .24). The same result was present in propensity-matched population analysis (HR: 1.43; 95% CI: 0.68-3.0; P = .34). Conclusions: In patients undergoing noncardiac surgery with prior coronary revascularization by PCI or CABG performed on an average of 42 months after PCI and 50 months after CABG, postoperative clinical outcome at 1-year follow-up is comparable.

Background: The recurrence of angina after percutaneous coronary intervention affects 20–35% of patients with stable coronary artery disease; however, few data are available in the setting of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. We evaluated the relation between coronary microvascular obstruction and the recurrence of angina at follow-up. Methods: We prospectively enrolled patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Microvascular obstruction was defined as thrombolysis in myocardial infarction flow less than 3 or 3 with myocardial blush grade less than 2. The primary endpoint was the recurrence of angina at follow-up. Moreover, angina status was evaluated by the Seattle angina questionnaire summary score (SAQSS). Therapy at follow-up and the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events were also collected. Results: We enrolled 200 patients. Microvascular obstruction occurred in 52 (26%) of them. Follow-up (mean time 25.17±9.28 months) was performed in all patients. Recurrent angina occurred in 31 (15.5%) patients, with a higher prevalence in patients with microvascular obstruction compared with patients without microvascular obstruction (13 (25.0%) vs. 18 (12.2%), P=0.008). Accordingly, SAQSS was lower and the need for two or more anti-anginal drugs was higher in patients with microvascular obstruction compared with patients without microvascular obstruction. At multiple linear regression analysis a history of previous acute coronary syndrome and the occurrence of microvascular obstruction were the only independent predictors of a worse SAQSS. Finally, the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events was higher in patients with microvascular obstruction compared with patients without microvascular obstruction. Conclusions: The recurrence of angina in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention is an important clinical issue. The occurrence of microvascular obstruction portends a worse angina status and is associated with the use of more anti-anginal drugs.

Abstract Background Malignant arrhythmias, ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation (VT/VF) in acute myocardial infarction (AIM) carry ominous prognosis including sudden cardiac death (SCD). It is not clear whether the timing of VT/VF occurrence always affects the poor prognosis of patients with AMI. Aim To investigate the prognosis of patients who undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in accordance with timing of VT/VF and to find the power predictors of their occurrence. Methods 307 consecutive patients in PREDICT-VT study (NCT03263949), 57.9±10.6 year old, 72.3% males were analysed. Of these patients, 27.7% had VT/VF from the symptoms onset, within 48 hours of AIM (early VT/VF group). 8.1% of patients had VT/VF after 48h, during one year follow up (late VT/VF group). Results The frequency of VT/VF occurrence was high between symptoms onset and the end of 2nd month and during 5th and 6th month of AIM. The parameters of conventional echocardiography were significantly impaired in late VT/VF group, as well as parameters of longitudinal strain (LS) (table). Moreover, the MACE (cardiovascular mortality, SCD, new infarction, emergency revascularisation, and hospitalized heart failure) was the highest in late VT/VF group (p=0.000). The most significant predictor of late VT/VF was systolic LS (cut off −12.72%, ROC 0.680, Sen 71%, Sp 64%, p=0.006). Conclusions Although late VT/VF occurrence after primary PCI were less frequent than early VT/VF occurrence, patients with late VT/VF had a very poor prognosis. The most power predictor of late VT/VF were systolic longitudinal strain. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: Public hospital(s). Main funding source(s): Clinical Center of Serbia

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.

Background: The ostial left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) lesion is an important target for coronary revascularization because its location subtends a large territory of myocardium. Ostial lesions have a reputation of being fibrotic, calcified, and relatively rigid. Greater degraees of rigidity and recoil resulted in lower acute gain and higher rates of target lesion revascularization (TLR) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). In addition, procedural complications such as dissections, vessel closure and myocardial infarction were more frequent. Aim of the study was to evaluate a simple but innovative technique to deal with significant LAD ostial lesion.Methods: This prospective study was conducted between January 2010 and February 2013. Patients with significant angiographic de novo ostial LAD artery stenoses were identified and screened for study eligibility. An ostial stenosis was defined as an angiographic narrowing of e” 70% located within 3 mm of the vessel origin. Study included all consecutive patients with ostial lesions who underwent elective PCI and stent deployment. The study population consisted of 36 patients.Results: Among 36 patients 27 (75%) were male. mean age was 55.75 ± 8.07 years. 21 (58.3%) had diabetes, 15 (41.7%) hypertension, 21 (58.3%) hypercholesterolemia, 24 (66.66%) were smoker and 18 (50%) had F/H of CAD. Among them 6 (16.7%) had STEMI, 9 (25%) had NSTEMI, 12 (33.3%) had UA and 9 (25%) CSA. CAG showed 15 (41.7%) SVD, 15 (41.7%) DVD and 6 (16.7%) were TVD. LAD ostial stenosis were 83.16 ± 10.14%. Considering procedural characteristics, DES were 33 (91.7%) and BMS were 3 (8.3%). DES polymers were Evarolimus 15 (41.7%), Zotarolimus 12 (33.3%) and Biolimus 6 (16.7%). Mean stent length were 21.75 ± 8.07 mm. Mean stent diameter were 2.83 ± 0.28 mm. Minimum follow up time was 9 months and maximum follow up time was 44 months. There were no MACE but Angina (CCS II) were 2 (5.55%) and LVF (NYHA II) were 1(2.77%).Conclusion: Precise placement of LAD ostial stent is always challenging. Several technique applied but results not always satisfactory. Our strategies were precise location of stent implantation at ostium by adopting special technique of simultaneous balloon placement from distal LM to proximal LCX preventing unwanted stent movement during its placement and also properly guiding us for precise stent placement at the ostium. Parked balloon from distal LM to LCX will also be helpful for quick measure for any plaque shifting into LCX.Cardiovasc. j. 2016; 9(1): 49-54

Circulating brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) predicts survival rate in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). We examined the relationship between BDNF and renalase before and after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and the role of renalase in patients with CAD. Serum BDNF and renalase levels were determined using blood samples collected before and after PCI. Incident myocardial infarction, stroke, and mortality were followed up longitudinally. A total of 152 patients completed the assessment. BDNF levels were not significantly changed after PCI compared to baseline levels (24.7 ± 11.0 vs. 23.5 ± 8.3 ng/mL, p = 0.175), although renalase levels were significantly reduced (47.5 ± 17.3 vs. 35.9 ± 11.3 ng/mL, p < 0.001). BDNF level before PCI was an independent predictor of reduction in renalase (95% confidence interval (CI): −1.371 to −0.319). During a median 4.1 years of follow-up, patients with serum renalase levels of ≥35 ng/mL had a higher risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, and death than those with renalase of <35 ng/mL (hazard ratio = 5.636, 95% CI: 1.444–21.998). In conclusion, our results show that serum BDNF levels before PCI were inversely correlated with the percentage change in renalase levels after PCI. Nevertheless, post-PCI renalase level was a strong predictor for myocardial infarction, stroke, and death.

BACKGROUND We wanted to assess the clinical profile and in-hospital outcomes of Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PPCI) for ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) in India in ESI (Employee Scheme Insurance) beneficiaries. METHODS From January 2017 to July 2018, 122 consecutive acute STEMI patients undergoing PPCI under ESI scheme were included in the study. Patients’ clinical profile, detailed procedural characteristics, time variables along with in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) were also assessed. RESULTS 122 patients underwent primary PCI during the study period. In the study, mean age was 55.23 (27 - 85) years; 94 (77.04 %) were males; 53 (43.44 %) were hypertensives; 38 (31.14 %) were smokers; and 44 (36.06 %) were diabetics. Ten (8.19 %) patients were in cardiogenic shock (CS). Anterior myocardial infarction was present in 70 (57.37 %) patients. The median chest-pain-onset to hospitalarrival-time was 270 (70 - 720), door-to-balloon time was 55 (20 - 180) and total ischemic time was 325 (105 - 780) minutes. In-hospital adverse events occurred in 14 (11.4 %) patients [death 8 (6.55 %), major bleeding 2 (1.63 %), urgent CABG 3 (2.45 %) and stroke 1 (0.81 %)]. Seven patients with cardiogenic shock died. CONCLUSIONS The mean age of our cohort was 55.23 years. In our study, majority of patients were males (77.05 %), hypertension was associated with 43.44 %, and diabetes was associated with 36.06 % of patients. Procedural success was achieved in 95.89 %. The overall in-hospital mortality was 6.55 % and 70 % in the cardiogenic shock subset. KEYWORDS Primary PCI, STEMI, ESI, PCI

Összefoglaló. Bevezetés: A szívinfarktust megelőző revascularisatiós beavatkozások prognosztikai jelentőségével kapcsolatban kevés elemzés ismeretes, hazai adatokat eddig nem közöltek. Célkitűzés: A szerzők a Nemzeti Szívinfarktus Regiszter adatait felhasználva elemezték a koszorúér-revascularisatiós szívműtétet (CABG) túlélt betegek prognózisát heveny szívinfarktusban. Módszer: Az adatbázisban 2014. 01. 01. és 2017. 12. 31. között 55 599 beteg klinikai és kezelési adatait rögzítették: 23 437 betegnél (42,2%) ST-elevációval járó infarktus (STEMI), 32 162 betegnél (57,8%) ST-elevációval nem járó infarktus (NSTEMI) miatt került sor a kórházi kezelésre. Vizsgáltuk a CABG után fellépő infarktus miatt kezelt betegek klinikai adatait és prognózisát, amelyeket azon betegek adataival hasonlítottunk össze, akiknél nem szerepelt szívműtét a kórelőzményben (kontrollcsoport). Eredmények: A betegek többsége mindkét infarktustípusban férfi volt (62%, illetve 59%). Az indexinfarktust megelőzően a betegek 5,33%-ánál (n = 2965) történt CABG, amely az NSTEMI-betegeknél volt gyakoribb (n = 2357; 7,3%). A CABG-csoportba tartozó betegek idősebbek voltak, esetükben több társbetegséget (magas vérnyomás, diabetes mellitus, perifériás érbetegség) rögzítettek. Az indexinfarktus esetén a katéteres koszorúér-intervenció a kontrollcsoport STEMI-betegeiben gyakoribb volt a CABG-csoporthoz viszonyítva (84% vs. 71%). Az utánkövetés 12 hónapja során a betegek 4,7–12,2%-ában újabb infarktus, 13,7–17,3%-ában újabb katéteres koszorúér-intervenció történt. Az utánkövetés alatt a CABG-csoportban magasabbnak találtuk a halálozást. A halálozást befolyásoló tényezők hatásának korrigálására Cox-féle regressziós analízist, illetve ’propensity score matching’ módszert alkalmaztunk. Mindkét módszerrel történt elemzés azt mutatta, hogy a kórelőzményben szereplő koszorúér-revascularisatiós műtét nem befolyásolta a túlélést. Amennyiben a beteg kórelőzményében szerepelt a koszorúérműtét, az indexinfarktus nagyobb eséllyel volt NSTEMI, mint STEMI (HR: 1,612; CI 1,464–1,774; p<0,001). Következtetés: A kórelőzményben szereplő koszorúér-revascularisatiós műtét nem befolyásolta a szívinfarktus miatt kezelt betegek életkilátásait. Orv Hetil. 2021; 162(5): 177–184. Summary. Introduction: Little analysis is known about the prognostic significance of revascularization interventions before myocardial infarction; no domestic data have been reported so far. Method: The authors use data from the Hungarian Myocardial Infarction Registry to analyze the prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction who had previous coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Between 01. 01. 2014. and 31. 12. 2017, 55 599 patients were recorded in the Registry: 23 437 patients (42.2%) had ST-elevation infarction (STEMI) and 31 162 patients (57.8%) had non-ST-elevation infarction (NSTEMI). The clinical data and prognosis of patients treated for infarction after CABG were compared with those of patients without a CABG history. Results: The majority of patients were male (59% and 60%, respectively). Prior to index infarction, CABG occurred in 5.33% of patients (n = 2965), which was more common in NSTEMI (n = 2357; 7.3%). The CABG patients were older and had more comorbidities (hypertension, diabetes mellitus, peripheral vascular disease). For index infarction, percutaneous coronary intervention was more common in STEMI patients in the control group compared to CABG (84% vs. 71%). At 12 months of follow-up, 4.7–12.2% of patients had reinfarction, and 13.7–17.3% had another percutaneous coronary intervention. During the full follow-up, the CABG group had higher mortality. Cox regression analysis and propensity score matching were used to correct for the effect of other factors influencing mortality. Both analyses showed CABG did not affect survival. In the CABG group, the index infarction was more likely to be NSTEMI than STEMI (HR: 1.612; CI 1.464–1.774; p<0.001). Conclusion: The history of CABG does not affect the life expectancy of patients treated for an acute myocardial infarction. Orv Hetil. 2021; 162(5): 177–184.
