RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Sudden cardiac arrest is a serious complication of acute myocardial infarction (MI). Although in-hospital mortality from MI has decreased, the mortality of MI patients complicated with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains high. However, the features of acute MI patients with OHCA have not been well known. OBJECTIVES: We sought to characterize the clinical and angiographic features of acute MI patients with OHCA comparing with those without OHCA. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 480 consecutive patients with acute MI undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Patients complicated with OHCA were compared with patients without OHCA. RESULTS: Of the patients, 141 (29%) were complicated with OHCA. Multivariate analysis revealed that age (odds ratio [OR]: 0.8; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.7 to 0.9 per 5 years; p < 0.001), estimated glomerular filtration rate (OR: 0.8; 95% CI: 0.7 to 0.8 per 10 ml/min/1.73 m2; p < 0.001), peak creatine kinase-myocardial band (OR: 1.3; 95% CI: 1.2 to 1.4 per 102 U/l; p < 0.001), calcium-channel antagonists use (OR: 0.4; 95% CI: 0.2 to 0.7; p = 0.002), the culprit lesion at the left main coronary artery (OR: 5.3; 95% CI: 1.9 to 15.1; p = 0.002), and the presence of chronic total occlusion (OR: 2.9; 95% CI: 1.5 to 5.7; p = 0.001) were significantly associated with OHCA. CONCLUSIONS: Younger age, no use of calcium-channel antagonists, worse renal function, larger infarct size, culprit lesion in the left main coronary artery, and having chronic total occlusion were associated with OHCA.

AIMS: Nutritional status as well as physical capacity is related to prognosis in patients with heart failure. The purpose of this study was to explore a simple prognostic indicator in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) by including both nutritional status and physical capacity. METHODS AND RESULTS: Patients hospitalized with ADHF (N = 203; mean age, 81 years) were enrolled. We evaluated the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) on hospital admission and at discharge. A GNRI score < 92 was defined as malnutrition. Physical capacity was evaluated by simple walking test to determine if patients could walk 200 m, with a Borg scale score ≤ 13, without critical changes in vital signs. Primary endpoints were mortality and heart failure rehospitalization within 2 years. A total of 49% and 48% of patients showed malnutrition on admission and at discharge, respectively. Malnutrition at discharge was more strongly related to mortality [hazard ratio (HR) 3.382, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.900-6.020, P < 0.0001)] than that on admission (HR 2.448, 95% CI 1.442-4.157, P = 0.001) by univariable analysis. Malnutrition at discharge was related to mortality (HR 2.370, 95% CI 1.166-4.814, P = 0.02), but malnutrition on admission was not related (HR 1.538, 95% CI 0.823-2.875, P = 0.18) by multivariable analysis. Almost half of patients (45%) could not walk 200 m, which was significantly related to mortality by univariable analysis (HR 3.303, 95% CI 1.905-5.727, P < 0.0001), but was not by multivariable analysis (HR 1.990, 95% CI 0.999-3.962, P = 0.05). The combined index including both GNRI and simple walking test was an independent and stronger predictor of mortality than either index alone by multivariable analysis (HR 2.249, 95% CI 1.362-3.716, P < 0.01). Neither malnutrition nor low physical capacity was related to heart failure rehospitalization by univariable analysis (HR 0.702, 95% CI 0.483-1.020, P = 0.06; HR 1.047, 95% CI 0.724-1.515, P = 0.81, respectively). Malnutrition at discharge significantly reduced heart failure rehospitalization by multivariable analysis (HR 0.431, 95% CI 0.266-0.698, P < 0.01). When patients were classified into Group G (both nutritional status and physical capacity at discharge were good), Group E (either was good), and Group B (both were bad), mortality rates were significantly different among the groups (log rank P < 0.0001). CONCLUSION: A simple indicator including both nutritional status and physical capacity may predict 2 year mortality in elderly patients with ADHF.

Although the presence of chronic total occlusion (CTO) has been associated with long-term mortality in the patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, the influence of having CTO on in-hospital mortality in sudden cardiac arrest (SCA)-acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients has not been reported. Therefore, we examined the association between the presence of CTO and in-hospital mortality in those patients. Consecutive 106 SCA-ACS patients who received coronary angiography were retrospectively included. The factors associated with in-hospital mortality were analyzed. Among 106 patients, 40 (38%) patients died during hospitalization. Multivariate analysis revealed presence of CTO dependent on infarct-related artery (IRA-dependent-CTO) (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.88, pâ¯=â¯0.004), diabetes mellitus (HRâ¯=â¯2.04, pâ¯=â¯0.044), percutaneous cardiopulmonary support use (HRâ¯=â¯2.22, pâ¯=â¯0.045), successful recanalization (HRâ¯=â¯0.31, pâ¯=â¯0.004), and peak creatine kinase muscle-brain fraction (HRâ¯=â¯1.11, p < 0.001) were significantly associated with mortality. In conclusion, presence of IRA-dependent-CTO was significantly associated with in-hospital mortality in SCA-ACS patients.
