Introduction: Prognostication of outcome in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) is currently based on clinical characteristics and biomarkers indicating dysglycemia, dyslipidemia, renal dysfunction and possibly cardiac biomarkers. Hypothesis: We assessed the incremental prognostic value of biomarkers of inflammation in the Stabilization of Atherosclerotic Plaque By Initiation of Darapladib Therapy (STABILITY) trial. Methods: In STABILITY, 15,828 patients with chronic CAD on optimal medical treatment were randomized to treatment with darapladib or placebo. Serum levels of hs-C-reactive protein (CRP) and Interleukin (IL)-6 were measured at randomization in 14,373 and 4733 patients, respectively. Centrally adjudicated outcome events were accumulated during a median of 3.7 years follow-up. The associations between levels of the biomarkers and outcomes were evaluated by multivariable Cox regression. Results: The impact of biomarker levels at baseline in relation to the composite endpoint, MACE (major adverse cardiovascular event), of cardiovascular (CV) death, myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke, and its individual components are presented in the Table. Both hs-CRP and IL-6 provided strong prognostic information in addition to clinical predictors for outcomes of MACE, CV death and MI, but not for stroke. Conclusions: In conclusion, the cardiac biomarkers hs-CRP and IL-6, provided important complementary prognostic information on the risk of CV mortality and MI, but not for stroke in patients with stable CAD on optimal medical treatment.

Aim. To assess the incidence of moderate systolic dysfunction in patients with stable coronary artery disease and determine the factors associated with it.Methods. 200 patients with coronary artery disease admitted to the Cardiology Department of the Research Institute for coronary artery bypass grafting were included in the study. Patients were assigned to two groups depending on the presence or absence of right ventricular systolic dysfunction (RVSD). Patients with RVSD (n = 30, 64 [59; 68] years), were assigned in Group 1, whereas patients without it (n = 170, 64 [60; 68] years) were assigned to Group 2.Results. Univariate logistic regression reported the following factors to be associated with RVSD: prior myocardial infarction (p = 0.098), chronic heart failure (p = 0.020), long smoking history (p = 0.003), increased left ventricular end-systolic and enddiastolic volumes (p = 0.005 and p = 0.004), decreased tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (p <0.001), decreased early mitral flow propagation velocity (p = 0.027) and left ventricular ejection fraction (p = 0.002), significant circumflex artery stenosis (p = 0.075), right coronary artery occlusion (p = 0.073), singlevessel and three-vessel coronary artery disease (p = 0.055 and p = 0.014). Three multivariate models were generated. A decrease in the left ventricular ejection fraction (p = 0.009), three-vessel coronary artery disease (p = 0.055), and early mitral flow propagation velocity (p = 0.072) were considered as independent predictors of RVSD.Conclusion. Moderate RVSD was found in 15% of patients with stable coronary artery disease and preserved left ventricular function. A decrease in the left ventricular ejection fraction, but not damage to individual coronary arteries, the number of affected coronary arteries, the presence and localization of myocardial infarction were among the factors independently associated with right ventricular systolic function.
