Background and objectives: We aimed to demonstrate the clinical utility of CHA2DS2-VASc score in risk assessment of patients with STEMI regarding adverse clinical outcomes particularly no-reflow phenomenon. Materials and Methods: We designed a retrospective cohort study using the data of Tehran Heart Center registry for acute coronary syndrome. The study included 1331 consecutive patients with STEMI who underwent primary angioplasty. Patients were divided into two groups according to low and high CHA2DS2-VASc score. Angiographic results of reperfusion were inspected to evaluate the association of high CHA2DS2-VASc score and the likelihood of suboptimal TIMI flow. The secondary endpoint of the study was short-term in-hospital mortality of all cause. Results: The present study confirmed that CHA2DS2-VASc model enables us to determine the risk of no-reflow and all-cause in-hospital mortality independently. Odds ratios were 1.59 (1.30–2.25) and 1.60 (1.17–2.19), respectively. Moreover, BMI, high thrombus grade, and cardiogenic shock were predictors of failed reperfusion (odds were 1.07 (1.01–1.35), 1.59 (1.28–1.76), and 8.65 (3.76–24.46), respectively). We showed that using a cut off value of ≥ two in CHA2DS2-VASc model provides a sensitivity of 69.7% and specificity of 64.4% for discrimination of increased mortality hazards. Area under the curve: 0.72 with 95% CI (0.62–0.81). Conclusions: Calculation of CHA2DS2-VASc score applied as a simple risk stratification tool before primary PCI affords great predictive power. Furthermore, incremental values are obtained by using both CHA2DS2-VASc and no-reflow regarding mortality risk assessment.

Myocardial Blush Grade

Background: The TIMI myocardial blush grade (MBG) has been shown to be a strong angiographic predictor of mortality in patients with TIMI 3 flow after primary angioplasty. This study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between regional myocardial perfusion quantified by cardiac magnetic resonance and angiographic reperfusion score defined by MBG. Methods: We studied 29 consecutive patients (25 men, age 63±13 years) with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (LAD lesion: 12, RCA lesion: 16, LCx lesion: 2) who underwent primary angioplasty within 6 hours from the onset and showed TIMI grade 3. MBG was determined on angiography at the end of angioplasty. All patients underwent rest myocardial perfusion MRI during initial hospitalization, and regional MBF (ml/min/g) was quantified by using a Patlak plot method. Myocardial perfusion (MP) ratio was calculated from quantitative perfusion MRI, as MBF in infarction area/MBF in normal area. The optimal cut-off value of MP ratio that can predict MBG 3 on coronary angiography was determined by using a receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Results: In 29 patients with TIMI 3 flow after angioplasty, 4 patients had MBG 0–1, 7 had MBG 2 and 18 had MBG 3. The MP ratio in MBG 3 group calculated from quantitative perfusion MRI was significantly higher than the MP ratios in MBG 0 –1 group and MBG 2 group (0.96±0.18 vs. 0.48±0.25, P<0.001; 0.96±0.18 vs. 0.66±0.19, P=0.003, respectively). There was no significant difference between the MP ratios in MBG 0 –1 group and MBG 2 group. The ROC curve revealed that MP ratio of 0.74 is an optimal threshold to distinguish MBG 3 from MBG 0 –2, with a high area under the curve of 0.90. Conclusions: The result of this study demonstrates that MP ratio quantified from rest perfusion MRI correlated well with MBG on coronary angiography.

The Relationship

Aims: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between heart rate at admission and in-hospital mortality in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS). Methods: Consecutive ACS patients admitted in 2008–2010 across 58 hospitals in six participant countries of the European Hospital Benchmarking by Outcomes in ACS Processes (EURHOBOP) project (Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Portugal and Spain). Cardiogenic shock patients were excluded. Associations between heart rate at admission in categories of 10 beats per min (bpm) and in-hospital mortality were estimated by logistic regression in crude models and adjusting for age, sex, obesity, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, known heart failure, renal failure, previous stroke and ischaemic heart disease. In total 10,374 patients were included. Results: In both STEMI and NSTE-ACS patients, a U-shaped relationship between admission heart rate and in-hospital mortality was found. The lowest risk was observed for heart rates between 70–79 bpm in STEMI and 60–69 bpm in NSTE-ACS; risk of mortality progressively increased with lower or higher heart rates. In multivariable models, the relationship persisted but was significant only for heart rates >80 bpm. A similar relationship was present in both patients with or without diabetes, above or below age 75 years, and irrespective of the presence of atrial fibrillation or use of beta-blockers. Conclusion: Heart rate at admission is significantly associated with in-hospital mortality in patients with both STEMI and NSTE-ACS. ACS patients with admission heart rate above 80 bpm are at highest risk of in-hospital mortality.

Background ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction is known to be associated with worse short-term outcome than non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. However, whether or not this trend holds true in patients with a high Killip class has been unclear. Methods We analyzed 3704 acute myocardial infarction patients with Killip II–IV class from the Japan Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry and compared the short-term outcomes between ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction ( n = 2943) and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction ( n = 761). In addition, we also performed the same analysis in different age subgroups: <80 years and ≥80 years. Results In the overall population, there were no significant difference in the in-hospital mortality (20.0% vs 17.1%, p = 0.065) between ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction groups. Patients <80 years of age also showed no difference in the in-hospital mortality (15.7% vs 15.2%, p = 0.807) between ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction ( n = 2001) and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction ( n = 453) groups, whereas among those ≥80 years of age, ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction ( n = 942) was associated with significantly higher in-hospital mortality (29.3% vs 19.8%, p = 0.001) and in-hospital cardiac mortality (23.3% vs 15.0%, p = 0.002) than non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction ( n = 308). After adjusting for covariates, ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction was a significant predictor for in-hospital mortality (odds ratio 2.117; 95% confidence interval, 1.204–3.722; p = 0.009) in patients ≥80 years of age. Conclusion Among cases of acute myocardial infarction with a high Killip class, there was no marked difference in the short-term outcomes between ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction in younger patients, while ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction showed worse short-term outcomes in elderly patients than non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Future study identifying the prognostic factors for the specific anticipation intensive cares is needed in this high-risk group.

Prior Stroke

Background: We sought to evaluate the impact of prior cerebrovascular and/or peripheral arterial disease (PAD) on in-hospital outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndromes. Methods: From 1 October 2010 to 26 February 2016, 13,904 acute coronary syndrome patients were enrolled in a national multicentre registry. They were divided into four groups: prior stroke/transient ischaemic attack (stroke/TIA); prior PAD; prior stroke/TIA and PAD; none. The endpoints included in-hospital mortality and a composite endpoint of death, re-infarction and stroke during hospitalization. Results: 6.3% patients had prior stroke/TIA, 4.2% prior PAD and 1.4% prior stroke/TIA and PAD. Prior stroke/TIA and/or PAD patients were less likely to receive evidence-based medical therapies (dual antiplatelet therapy: stroke/TIA= 88.6%, PAD= 86.6%, stroke/TIA+PAD= 85.7%, none= 92.2%, p<0.001; β-blockers: stroke/TIA= 77.1%, PAD= 72.1%, stroke/TIA+PAD= 71.9%, none= 80.8%, p<0.001; angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockers: stroke/TIA= 86.3%, PAD= 83.6%, stroke/TIA+PAD= 83.2%, none= 87.1%, p=0.030) and to undergo percutaneous revascularization (stroke/TIA= 52.8%, PAD= 45.6%, stroke/TIA+PAD= 43.7%, none= 67.9%, p<0.001), despite more extensive coronary artery disease (three-vessel disease: stroke/TIA= 29.1%, PAD= 38.3%, stroke/TIA+PAD= 38.3%, none= 20.2%, p<0.001). In a multivariable analysis, prior stroke/TIA+PAD was a predictor of in-hospital mortality (odds ratio= 2.828, 95% confidence interval 1.001–7.990) and prior stroke/TIA (odds ratio= 1.529, 95% confidence interval 1.056–2.211), prior PAD (odds ratio= 1.618, 95% confidence interval 1.034–2.533) and both conditions (odds ratio= 3.736, 95% confidence interval 2.002–6.974) were associated with the composite endpoint. Conclusion: A prior history of stroke/TIA and/or PAD was associated with lower use of medical therapy and coronary revascularization and with worst short-term prognosis. An individualized management may improve their poor prognosis.

Abstract Introduction: The recent development of large networks dedicated to ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) led to a significant increase in the number of primary percutaneous interventions (p-PCI) parallel with mortality reduction in Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). The number of non ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) is increasing and the highest mortality rates are encountered in patients with cardiogenic shock and/or out of hospital cardiac arrest associated to ACS. The aim of this study was to identify the factors associated with a higher mortality rate in a global population with acute coronary syndromes presented in the emergency department of a county clinical hospital which serves as a regional center for a STEMI network. Material and method: This is a retrospective study including 684 patients with acute coronary syndrome admitted in the Clinic of Cardiology from the County Clinical Emergency Hospital Tîrgu Mureș in 2014. In all the cases, the factors that correlated with in hospital mortality were identified and analyzed. Results: The incidence of arterial hypertension was significantly higher in patients admitted with unstable angina (75.0%) and STEMI cases with less than 12 hours onset of symptomatology (68.1%), while impaired renal function correlated with the presence of NSTEMI (66.6%). The presence of a multivessel disease was significantly correlated with cardiogenic shock. The localisation of the culprit lesion in the left anterior descending artery (LAD) significantly correlated with the development of cardiogenic shock, LAD culprit lesions being present in 44.4% of CS cases as compared with 21.7% of noCS cases in STEMI patients. In NSTEMI patients, the localisation of the culprit lesion in the left main artery (LM) significantly correlated with the development of cardiogenic shock, culprit lesions in the left main being present in 47.0% of CS cases as compared with 28.5% of noCS cases in STEMI patients. Conclusion: Patients presenting with out-of-hospital resuscitated cardiac arrest due to Acute Myocardial Infarction associate higher in-hospital mortality rates. In-hospital mortality seems to be highly correlated with the female gender, STEMI myocardial infarction and the presence of multivascular lesions.

The aim. To study the risk factors for hospital mortality in patients with acute coronary syndrome with ST-segment elevation (STEACS) complicated by cardiogenic shock (CS).Materials and methods. A total of 104 patients with STEACS complicated by CS were studied. The follow-up group (group I) included 58 (55,8%) patients who died in hospital (mean age 71,8±7,31 years), the comparison group (group II) – 46 patients, who have been treated and discharged (mean age 59,5±6,18 years). All patients underwent general clinical studies, the level of troponins, lipids, glucose, creatinine in plasma was determined, electrocardiography and echocardiography were performed. Coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were urgently performed. The method of binary logistic regression with the determination of the odds ratio and its 95% confidence interval for each reliable variable was used to identify risk factors for hospital mortality.Results. In group I patients with CS, compared with group II, patients over the age of 70 (32 (55,2%) vs 10 (22,7%), р=0,0004), with concomitant chronic kidney disease (32 (55,2%) vs 9 (19,6%), p=0,0002), postinfarction cardiosclerosis (30 (51,7%) vs 9 (19,6%), р=0,001) and chronic heart failure of III-IV functional class (32 (55,1%) vs 11 (23,9%), p=0,001) were significantly more often observed. Baseline levels of plasma leukocytes, troponin and creatinine were significantly higher in deceased patients with CS. Left ventricular ejection fraction below 40% was observed more often in the follow-up group than in the comparison group (46 (79,3%) vs 27 (58,7%), p=0,022). In group I, compared with group II, there was a higher incidence of three-vessel coronary lesions (36 (75%) vs 12 (26,1%), p=0,0001) and chronic coronary artery occlusion unrelated to STEACS (25 (52,1%) vs 12 (26,1%), р=0,009). The same trend was observed when assessing the average number of stenoses and occlusions of the coronary arteries. PCI was performed in 43 (74,1%) of the deceased and 43 (93,5%) of the surviving STEACS patients with CS (p=0,009). The follow-up group had a higher rate of unsuccessful PCI (30,2%) vs 3 (7%), р=0,001) and performed later than 6 hours after the onset of an angina attack (28 (65,1%) vs 6 (14%), р=0,0001).Summary. Hospital mortality in patients with STEMI complicated by CS was associated with the presence left ventricular ejection fraction less than 40%, three-vessel coronary lesion and performing PCI later than 6 hours from the beginning of the pain attack.
