Objects: We assessed the ability of ST-segment elevation in lead aVR to predict left main and/or 3-vessel disease (LM/3VD) in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Meterial and Method: 410 patients with ACS, who underwent coronary angiography, were evaluated. Results: 131 (31.9%) patients have been LM/3VD. ST segment elevation > 0.05 mV in leads aVR have been an independent predictor LM/3VD with sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) 74.0%, 78.1%, 61.4% and 86.5%, respectively (p<0.001). ST segment elevation > 0.05 mV in leads aVR with ST segment depression in leads V4-V6 have related LM/3VD with sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV 44.3%, 92.8%, 74.4% and 75.2%, respectively (p<0.001). ST segment elevation > 0.1 mV in leads aVR have related LM/3VD with sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV 51.9%, 87.1%, 65.1% and 79.4%, respectively (p<0.001). Conclusions: ST segment elevation > 0.05 mV in leads aVR have been an independent predictor LM/3VD in patients with ACS. Key words: Acute coronary syndromes, ST-segment elevation, aVR

Abstract Background Patients with multivessel or complex coronary artery disease (CAD) are at increased risk of atherothrombotic events. It has been suggested that these patients may derive an incremental benefit with more intense antiplatelet strategies, according to prior subgroup analyses from randomized clinical trials. However, whether there is any association between the presence and extension of multivessel CAD and platelet aggregability (PA) in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) is unknown. Purpose To analyze the independent association between PA and presence of multivessel CAD in patients with ACS. Methods Patients with ACS on dual antiplatelet therapy (aspirin plus clopidogrel) were included in this study. Multivessel CAD was defined as the presence of significant ≥50% stenosis at two or more major epicardic vessels. Platelet aggregability was assessed by VerifyNow P2Y12 assay expressed in P2Y12 Reactivity Units (PRU) on the day of discharge from the coronary care unit. High On-treatment platelet reactivity (HPR) was defined as PRU ≥208. Stepwise linear and logistic regression models were applied to adjust for confounders. Models were adjusted for: age, sex, race, diabetes, hypertension, smoking, dyslipidemia, prior MI, prior PCI, prior CABG, prior HF, prior stroke and ACS phenotype (STEMI vs. Non-ST-segment elevation ACS). Results A total of 237 patients were included, among whom 143 (60.3%) had multivessel CAD at the coronary angiogram and 175 (73.8%) were submitted to PCI during index hospitalization. Patients with multivessel disease were older (mean age 64.8±12.1 vs. 58.9±11.2 years; p&lt;0.001) and more likely to have a history of diabetes (47.6% vs. 29.8%; p=0.006) and non-ST-segment elevation ACS as the index event (55.2% vs. 28.7%; p&lt;0.001), compared to patients without multivessel CAD. After adjustments, presence of multivessel CAD was associated with higher PA (mean 161.4±74 PRU in patients with versus 140.3±70.9 PRU in patients without multivessel CAD; adjusted mean difference 23.7 PRU; 95% CI 4.8 to 42.5; p=0.014). Additionally, there was an incremental of 12.5 PRU (95% CI 2.8 to 22.3; adj p=0.012) for each diseased vessel and of 4.67 PRU (95% CI 0.11 to 9.22; adj p=0.045) for each diseased coronary segment. Compared to patients with single-vessel disease, patients with three-vessel disease had higher rates of HPR. (Figure). Conclusion In patients with ACS, the presence and extension of multivessel CAD were associated with higher levels of platelet aggregability and higher rates of high on-treatment platelet reactivity with clopidogrel. This finding may explain the incremental benefit with more intense antiplatelet therapies seen in this particular subgroup in prior clinical trials.

Background: Early diagnosis in ACS is significant to treatment and prognosis. It helps to reduce death and complications. What is the value of IMA concentration for diagnosing non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndromes. Objective: Studying the IMA concentration in blood serum in patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndromes; determining sensitivity, specificity and cut off point of IMA in diagnosis of non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndromes. Subject and Method: 75 patients hospitalized in Hue Central Hospital with breast pang, presenting non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndromes. Based-on the ESC Guidelines 2015, diagnosis of non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndromes is made on 37 of those as in a patients group; 38 others are chosen as a controls group. Cross-sectional study with comparison is applied. Result: (i) Concentration of enzymes CK-MB and of hs-TnT in the patients group is higher compared with that in the controls group. Average IMA concentration in patients group is 93.49± 89.56 IU/mL (median: 58.57IU/mL) and higher compared with the controls group which reaches 15.01 ± 9.87 IU/mL (median: 11.735IU/mL). It results in a statistical significance p<0,001. (ii) The cut off point for diagnosing non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndromes > 28.68IU/mL, reaching a sensitivity at 91.9% and a specificity at 86.8%, AUC = 0.98, 95% CI=0.95-1.00, p<0.001, OR= 74.8, 95% CI =16.54 - 338.38, p<0.001. Conclusion: IMA has high sensitivity and specificity in diagnosis of non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndromes. Key words: iMA, NSTEMi, Acute coronary syndrome without ST elevation
