RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Mortality after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is increased in patients with hypertension. The mechanisms underlying this association are uncertain. We sought to investigate whether patients with STEMI and prior hypertension have greater microvascular obstruction (MVO) and infarct size (IS) compared with those without hypertension. METHODS: We pooled individual patient data from 7 randomized trials of patients with STEMI undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in whom cardiac magnetic resonance imaging was performed within 1 month after reperfusion. The associations between hypertension and MVO, IS, and mortality were assessed in multivariable adjusted models. RESULTS: Among 2174 patients (61.3 ± 12.6 years, 76% male), 1196 (55.0%) had hypertension. Patients with hypertension were older, more frequently diabetic and had more extensive coronary artery disease than those without hypertension. MVO and IS measured as percent LV mass were not significantly different in patients with and without hypertension (adjusted differences 0.1, 95% CI -0.3 to 0.6, P = .61 and -0.2, 95% CI -1.5 to 1.2, P = .80, respectively). Hypertension was associated with a higher unadjusted risk of 1-year death (hazard ratio [HR] 2.28, 95% CI 1.44-3.60, P < .001), but was not independently associated with higher mortality after multivariable adjustment (adjusted HR 1.04, 95% CI 0.60-1.79, P = .90). CONCLUSION: In this large-scale individual patient data pooled analysis, hypertension was not associated with larger IS or MVO after primary PCI for STEMI.

BACKGROUND: Incomplete revascularization (ICR) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with mortality and morbidity. AIM: We sought to investigate whether ICR in the left anterior descending artery (LAD) is worse than ICR of the right coronary artery (RCA) or left circumflex artery (LCX); and whether ICR in patients with a chronic total occlusion (CTO) is worse than in those without. METHODS: In the RIVER-PCI trial, 2651 patients with ICR after PCI were randomly assigned to ranolazine or placebo. Angiograms were assessed at an independent core laboratory in 2501 patients (94.3%). The primary endpoint was the composite of ischemia-driven revascularization or hospitalization. RESULTS: A total of 1664 patients (66.5%) had ICR involving the LAD, whereas 837 (33.5%) had ICR limited to the RCA or LCX. At median follow-up of 643 days, the primary endpoint occurred in 26.9% versus 26.5% of patients (adjusted HR [aHR]: 1.03, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.88-1.21). A nonrecanalized CTO was present in 854 patients (34.1%) with ICR after PCI. The primary endpoint occurred in 28.6% versus 25.9% of ICR patients with versus without a CTO (aHR: 1.10, 95% CI: 0.94-1.29). However, patients with a CTO had higher rates of ischemia-driven hospitalization without revascularization (aHR: 1.27, 95% CI: 1.04-1.56), heart failure hospitalization (aHR: 2.69, 95% CI: 1.61-4.59) and myocardial infarction (aHR: 1.46, 95% CI: 1.11-1.92) compared with those without. CONCLUSIONS: The 2-year prognosis was similar in post-PCI patients with ICR whether the LAD was versus was not involved. ICR patients with a CTO had more frequent hospitalizations for ischemia and myocardial infarctions compared with those without.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: XC001 is a novel adenoviral-5 vector designed to express multiple isoforms of VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) and more safely and potently induce angiogenesis. The EXACT trial (Epicardial Delivery of XC001 Gene Therapy for Refractory Angina Coronary Treatment) assessed the safety and preliminary efficacy of XC001 in patients with no option refractory angina. METHODS: In this single-arm, multicenter, open-label trial, 32 patients with no option refractory angina received a single treatment of XC001 (1×1011 viral particles) via transepicardial delivery. RESULTS: There were no severe adverse events attributed to the study drug. Twenty expected severe adverse events in 13 patients were related to the surgical procedure. Total exercise duration increased from a mean±SD of 359.9±105.55 seconds at baseline to 448.2±168.45 (3 months), 449.2±175.9 (6 months), and 477.6±174.7 (12 months; +88.3 [95% CI, 37.1-139.5], +84.5 [95% CI, 34.1-134.9], and +115.5 [95% CI, 59.1-171.9]). Total myocardial perfusion deficit on positron emission tomography imaging decreased by 10.2% (95% CI, -3.1% to 23.5%), 14.3% (95% CI, 2.8%-25.7%), and 10.2% (95% CI, -0.8% to -21.2%). Angina frequency decreased from a mean±SD 12.2±12.5 episodes to 5.2±7.2 (3 months), 5.1±7.8 (6 months), and 2.7±4.8 (12 months), with an average decrease of 7.7 (95% CI, 4.1-11.3), 6.6 (95% CI, 3.5-9.7), and 8.8 (4.6-13.0) episodes at 3, 6, and 12 months. Angina class improved in 81% of participants at 6 months. CONCLUSIONS: XC001 administered via transepicardial delivery is safe and generally well tolerated. Exploratory improvements in total exercise duration, ischemic burden, and subjective measures support a biologic effect sustained to 12 months, warranting further investigation.

Background: Little is known about the bleeding risk associated with cangrelor use in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) who are exposed to an oral P2Y12 inhibitor before coronary angiography. Methods: Cangrelor in Acute MI: Effectiveness and Outcomes (CAMEO) is an observational registry studying platelet inhibition for patients with MI. Upstream oral P2Y12 inhibition was defined as receipt of an oral P2Y12 inhibitor within 24 hours before hospitalization or in-hospital before angiography. Among cangrelor-treated patients, we compared bleeding after cangrelor use through 7 days postdischarge between patients with and without upstream oral P2Y12 inhibitor exposure. Results: Among 1802 cangrelor-treated patients with MI, 385 (21.4%) received upstream oral P2Y12 inhibitor treatment. Of these, 101 patients (33.8%) started cangrelor within 1 hour, 103 (34.4%) between 1 and 3 hours, and 95 (31.8%), >3 hours after in-hospital oral P2Y12 inhibitor administration; the remaining received an oral P2Y12 inhibitor before hospitalization. There was no statistically significant difference in rates of bleeding among cangrelor-treated patients with and without upstream oral P2Y12 inhibitor exposure (6.5% vs 8.8%; adjusted odds ratio [OR], 0.62; 95% CI, 0.38-1.01). Bleeding was observed in 5.0%, 10.7%, and 3.2% of patients treated with cangrelor <1, 1 to 3, and >3 hours after the last oral PY12 inhibitor dose, respectively; bleeding rates were not statistically different between groups (1-3 hours vs <1 hour: adjusted OR, 2.70; 95% CI, 0.87-8.32; >3 hours vs <1 hour: adjusted OR, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.15-2.85). Conclusions: Bleeding risk was not observed to be significantly higher after cangrelor treatment in patients with and without upstream oral P2Y12 inhibitor exposure.
