Aim. This study was designed to evaluate the relationship between microRNAs (miRNAs), miR-126-3p and miR-223-3p, as new biomarkers of platelet activation, and predicting recurrent thrombotic events after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods and Results. The analysis included 598 patients randomized in the PRAGUE-18 study (ticagrelor vs. prasugrel in AMI). The measurements of miRNAs were performed by using a novel miRNA immunoassay method. The association of miRNAs with the occurrence of the ischemic endpoint (EP) (cardiovascular death, nonfatal MI, or stroke) and bleeding were analyzed. The miR-223-3p level was significantly related to an increased risk of occurrence of the ischemic EP within 30 days (odds ratio (OR) = 15.74, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.07–119.93, p = 0.008) and one year (OR = 3.18, 95% CI: 1.40–7.19, p = 0.006), respectively. The miR-126-3p to miR-223-3p ratio was related to a decreased risk of occurrence of EP within 30 days (OR = 0.14, 95% CI: 0.03–0.61, p = 0.009) and one year (OR = 0.37, 95% CI: 0.17–0.82, p = 0.014), respectively. MiRNAs were identified as independent predictors of EP even after adjustment for confounding clinical predictors. Adding miR-223-3p and miR-126-3p to miR-223-3p ratios as predictors into the model calculating the ischemic risk significantly increased the predictive accuracy for combined ischemic EP within one year more than using only clinical ischemic risk parameters. No associations between miRNAs and bleeding complications were identified. Conclusion. The miR-223-3p and the miR-126-3p are promising independent predictors of thrombotic events and can be used for ischemic risk stratification after AMI.

Abstract Background Balancing the intensity and duration of antiplatelet therapy according to thrombotic risk is a fundamental need in order to optimize therapy effectiveness and safety. Incorporation of new predictors in thrombotic risk stratification is therefore of a crucial importance for antiplatelet therapy net clinical benefit. Purpose The present analysis aimed to evaluate the relation of miR-126-3p and miR-223-3p, new markers of platelet activation, in order to facilitate prediction of recurrent thrombotic events after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Method The analysis included 598 patients (age median 62 years, men 77.8%) randomized in the Prague-18 study (ticagrelor vs. prasugrel in AIM treated with primary PCI). During the study follow up, 40.6% of patients switched to clopidogrel. Determination of miR was evaluated 24 hours after admission; miR-126-3p and miR-223-3p were normalized by miR-423-3p and miR-150-5p. Quantitative determination of selected miRNAs was performed with a novel microRNA immunoassay method. Selected miRNAs were compared with key efficacy endpoints (cardiovascular death, nonfatal MI and stroke), stent thrombosis and all hemorrhagic events, and analysed using univariate and multivariate logistic regressions. Results Increased values of miR-223-3p were significantly related to the occurrence of combined ischemic endpoint within 30 days [OR (95% CI) 15.739 (2.066; 119.932) p=0.008] and within one year [3.175 (1.40; 7.186) p=0.006]. Decreased ratio of miR-126-3P/miR-223-3p was significantly related to the occurrence of combined ischemic endpoint within 30 days [0.137 (0.031; 0.609) p=0.009] and one year [0.372 (0.169; 0.819) p=0.014]. MiRNAs were identified as independent predictors even after adjustment for confounding clinical predictors (Study arm, Switch to Clopidogrel, Age, Men, BMI, Smoking, History of Hyperlipidemia, Hypertension, DM, MI, PCI, CABG, Chronic heart failure, Chronic renal failure, Peripheral arterial disease, LBBB, RBBB, TIMI <3 after PCI, Number of diseased vessels >1, Stem disease, Suboptimal of failure of PCI, Time to hospital). Adjusted ORs (95% CI) are 11.828 (1.472; 98.011), p=0.022 and 2.394 (1.021; 5.610), p=0.045 for increased value of miR-223-3p and the occurrence of combined ischemic endpoint within 30 days and one year respectively; 0.151 (0.030; 0.757), p=0.022 and 0.407 (0.179; 0.925), p=0.032 for decreased ratio of miR-126–3P/miR-223-3p and the occurrence of combined ischemic endpoint within 30 days and one year respectively. No association between miRNA and bleeding complications was identified. Conclusion The miR-223-3p and miR-126-3p to miR-223-3p ratio are strong independent predictors of thrombotic ischemic events and can be used to stratify patients post AMI.

Abstract Background In patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), it remains unclear whether serum PCSK9 levels can predict the severity of the disease and the risk of future cardiovascular events. Methods Among the patients admitted for an acute myocardial infarction (MI) from September 2015 to December 2016 in an intensive care unit from a university hospital, serum PCSK9 levels were measured on admission in patients not previously receiving statin therapy. We aimed to evaluate the association between PCSK9 levels, metabolic parameters, severity of CAD on coronary angiography, and the risk of in-hospital events and at one-year follow-up. Results In a total of 648 patients (mean age: 66 years, 67% male), the median PCSK9 was 263 ng/ml, higher for females compared with males (270 vs 256 ng/ml, p=0.009). Serum PCSK9 was associated with LDL cholesterol (r=0.083, p=0.036), total cholesterol (r=0.136, p=0.001) and triglycerides (r=0.137, p=0.001). A positive association was also observed in the subgroup of patients with CRP >10 mg/L (p<0.001), but not with NT-proBNP, troponin and creatine kinase. PCSK9 levels were similar whatever the SYNTAX score or the number of significant coronary lesions. Moreover, PCSK9 levels were not predictive of in-hospital events (death, recurrent MI and stroke) and events (cardiovascular death, cardiovascular events, recurrent MI) at one-year follow-up. Conclusion In this large cohort of patients hospitalized for acute MI and not previously receiving statin therapy, PCSK9 levels was not associated with the severity or the recurrence of cardiovascular events. The clinical utility of measuring PCSK9 levels remains to be demonstrated for this category of patients.

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) represent emergency state in an intensive cardiovascular care unit, which implies immediate and specific treatment. Of peculiar interest for cardiologists are young patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The family history taking for premature coronary artery disease (CAD) and establishment of genetic factors, responsible for coagulation, both are on target for this group of patients. Gold standard for AMI diagnosis is coronary angiography (CA), which usually implies endovascular treatment (EVT). When coronary thrombus formation is found in young patients, different diagnostic opportunities are possible. Thrombophilia (TF) represents blood coagulation abnormality resulting in an increased risk of thrombosis. It could affect different sections of the cardiovascular system, most commonly venous, but also arterial. This clinical condition could be confirmed by performing laboratory genetic tests. We studied a group of forty-one young patients with first appearance of ACS ≤ 55 years old included for a five-year period. All of them were evaluated with CA and received EVT. According to the thrombotic risk, we defined a high-risk group, treated with anticoagulant (AC) on top of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). The patients were followed-up for recurrent ischemic and bleeding events. We performed laboratory tests for the most frequent TF gene mutations in Bulgarian population. There is a conflicting data about this issue in different ethnic origins. The aim of our study is to estimate the possible relationship between the TF and the arterial thrombosis in young ACS patients, to defi ne specific treatment strategies, improving the prognosis of the patients.

SummaryAtrial fibrillation (AF) is a frequent complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). In the AMI setting, AF is frequently brief and attributed to acute haemodynamic changes, inflammation or ischaemia. However, it remains uncertain whether transient AF episodes are associated with a subsequent increased risk of ischaemic stroke. We studied the impact of transient new-onset AF on the one-year risk of ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA) in a retrospective cohort of 2,402 patients with AMI. Patients with previous AF or AF at hospital discharge were excluded. Transient AF occurred in 174 patients (7.2%) during the initial hospitalisation. During one year follow-up after hospital discharge, stroke or TIA occurred in 16 (9.2%) and 58 (2.6%) patients with and without transient AF, respectively (p< 0.0001). Compared with patients without transient AF, the adjusted hazard ratio for stroke or TIA in patients with transient AF was 3.03 (95% CI 1.73–5.32; p< 0.0001). Stroke or TIA occurred in 2.6% of patients without AF, 6.3% of patients with transient AF treated with oral anticoagulants, and 9.9% of patients with transient AF treated with antiplatelet agents. The incidence of recurrent AF after hospital discharge was markedly higher in patients with transient AF during the index hospitalisation (22.8% vs. 2.0%, p< 0.0001). In conclusion, transient AF complicating AMI is associated with an increased future risk of ischaemic stroke and TIA, particularly in patients treated with antiplatelet agents alone. High AF recurrence rates in these patients also suggest that oral anticoagulants should be strongly considered.
