RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: The administration of intravenous cangrelor at reperfusion achieves faster onset of platelet P2Y12 inhibition than oral ticagrelor and has been shown to reduce myocardial infarction (MI) size in the preclinical setting. We hypothesized that the administration of cangrelor at reperfusion will reduce MI size and prevent microvascular obstruction in patients with ST-segment-elevation MI undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention. METHODS: This was a phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial conducted between November 2017 to November 2021 in 6 cardiac centers in Singapore. Patients were randomized to receive either cangrelor or placebo initiated before the primary percutaneous coronary intervention procedure on top of oral ticagrelor. The key exclusion criteria included presenting <6 hours of symptom onset; previous MI and stroke or transient ischemic attack; on concomitant oral anticoagulants; and a contraindication for cardiovascular magnetic resonance. The primary efficacy end point was acute MI size by cardiovascular magnetic resonance within the first week expressed as percentage of the left ventricle mass (%LVmass). Microvascular obstruction was identified as areas of dark core of hypoenhancement within areas of late gadolinium enhancement. The primary safety end point was Bleeding Academic Research Consortium-defined major bleeding in the first 48 hours. Continuous variables were compared by Mann-Whitney U test (reported as median [first quartile-third quartile]), and categorical variables were compared by Fisher exact test. A 2-sided P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS: Of 209 recruited patients, 164 patients (78%) completed the acute cardiovascular magnetic resonance scan. There were no significant differences in acute MI size (placebo, 14.9% [7.3-22.6] %LVmass versus cangrelor, 16.3 [9.9-24.4] %LVmass; P=0.40) or the incidence (placebo, 48% versus cangrelor, 47%; P=0.99) and extent of microvascular obstruction (placebo, 1.63 [0.60-4.65] %LVmass versus cangrelor, 1.18 [0.53-3.37] %LVmass; P=0.46) between placebo and cangrelor despite a 2-fold decrease in platelet reactivity with cangrelor. There were no Bleeding Academic Research Consortium-defined major bleeding events in either group in the first 48 hours. CONCLUSIONS: Cangrelor administered at the time of primary percutaneous coronary intervention did not reduce acute MI size or prevent microvascular obstruction in patients with ST-segment-elevation MI given oral ticagrelor despite a significant reduction of platelet reactivity during the percutaneous coronary intervention procedure.

Background: The coronary no-reflow (NR) phenomenon is an independent predictor of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs). This study aimed to establish a clinical and comprehensive nomogram for predicting NR in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). Methods: The multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the NR-related factors. A nomogram was established via several clinical and biochemical factors, and the performance was evaluated via discrimination, calibration, and clinical factors. Results: The study consisted of 3041 AMI patients after pPCI, including 2129 patients in the training set (70%) and 912 patients in the validation set (30%). The NR event was 238 in the training set and 87 in the validation set. The level of N-terminal prohormone B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), basophil count (BASO), neutrophil count (NEUBC), D-dimer, hemoglobin (Hb), and red blood cell distribution width (RDW.CV) in NR patients showed statistically significant differences. In the training set, the C-index was 0.712, 95% CI 0.677 to 0.748. In the validation set, the C-index was 0.663, 95% CI 0.604 to 0.722. Conclusions: A nomogram that may predict NR in AMI patients undergoing pPCI was established and validated. We hope this nomogram can be used for NR risk assessment and clinical decision-making and significantly prevent potentially impaired reperfusion associated with NR.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Predicting the prognosis of primary percutaneous coronary intervention(PPCI) in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients in the perioperative period is of great clinical significance. The inflammatory response during the perioperative period is also an important factor. This study aimed to investigate the dynamic changes in the systemic immune inflammatory index (SII) during the perioperative period of PPCI and evaluate its predictive value for in-hospital and out-of-hospital outcomes in patients with STEMI. METHODS: This retrospective study included 324 consecutive patients with STEMI who were admitted to the cardiac care unit. Blood samples were collected before PPCI, 12 h (T1), 24 h, 48 h after PPCI, the last time before hospital discharge (T2), and 1 month after hospital discharge. The SII was calculated as (neutrophils×platelets)/lymphocytes. Based on whether the primary endpoint occurred, we divided the patients into event and non-event groups. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify independent risk factors that might influence the occurrence of the primary endpoint. Dynamic curves of SII were plotted, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were drawn for each node to calculate the optimal critical value, sensitivity, and specificity to assess their predictive ability for in-hospital and out-of-hospital courses. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to analyze the differences in survival rates at different SII inflammation levels. RESULTS: High levels of SII were individually related to the occurrence of the in-hospital period and long-term outcomes during the post-operative follow-up of STEMI patients (in-hospital SII: T1:OR 1.001,95%CI 1.001-1.001, P < 0.001; SII following hospital discharge: T1M: OR 1.008,95%CI 1.006-1.010, P < 0.001). Patients with high SII levels had lower survival rates than those with low SII levels. The analysis showed that the SII 12 h after (T1) and SII 1 month (T1M) had excellent predictive values for the occurrence of in-hospital and out-of-hospital outcomes, respectively (AUC:0.896, P < 0.001; AUC:0.892, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: There is a significant relationship between the dynamic status of SII and prognosis in patients with STEMI. This study found that the 12 h and SII 1 month affected in-hospital and out-of-hospital outcomes, respectively. Consequently, we focused on the dynamic changes in the SII.

BACKGROUND: The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), based on white blood cell, neutrophil, and platelet counts, is a proposed marker of systemic inflammation and immune activation. This study aimed to explore the relationship between SII and complete atrioventricular block (CAVB) development in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed data from 883 patients who underwent primary PCI for STEMI between January 2009 and December 2017. Patients were categorized into two groups based on CAVB development. SII levels were calculated from blood samples taken on admission. RESULTS: Of the included patients, 48 (5.03%) developed CAVB. SII was higher in patients with CAVB compared to those without CAVB (1370 [1050-1779]x109/L vs. 771 [427-1462] x109/L, p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed a significant positive correlation between SII and the risk of CAVB development (OR:1.0003, 95%CI:1.0001-1.0005, P = 0.044). The cut-off value for the SII in the estimation of CAVB was 1117.7 × 109/L (area under the ROC curve [AUC]: 0.714, 95% CI = 0.657-0.770 with a sensitivity of 70.8% and specificity of 65.6%, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: This study showed a significant link between high SII levels and CAVB development in STEMI patients undergoing PCI. Our findings suggest that SII may be a valuable, routinely available, and inexpensive marker for identifying patients at increased risk of CAVB.

BACKGROUND: It is unknown whether the existence of severe bystander damage will affect left ventricular (LV) healing following primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). The aim of the present analysis was to follow LV recovery using 2D speckle tracking echocardiography (2-D STE) in cases with single versus multiple vessel disease with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) who underwent PPCI and to assess major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) within 3 months. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This work was conducted at Assiut University Heart Hospital. Of 1026 screened subjects with AMI needing PPCI and assessed for eligibility, only 89 cases fulfilled the inclusion criteria. They were classified into Group A: single vessel and Group B: multiple vessel (≥ 2 vessels) disease. Their data were obtained on admittance and after 90 days. RESULTS: In group A compared to group B, there was a statistically preferable value at baseline in the global longitudinal strain- Apical 2 chamber (GLS-A2C) (-12.05 ± 3.57 vs. -10.38 ± 3.92, P = 0.039). At follow-up, the improvement was in all 2-D STE variables, including GLS-long axis (GLS-LAX) (-13.09 ± 3.84 vs.-10.75 ± 3.96, P = 0.006), GLS- apical 4 chamber (GLS-A4C) (-13.23 ± 3.51 vs.-10.62 ± 4.08, P = 0.002), GLS-A2C (-13.85 ± 3.41 vs-10.93 ± 3.97, P < 0.001) and GLS- average (GLS-AVG, P = 0.001). There was a considerable negative correlation between the recovery of LV performance and the existence of multi-vessel lesions (P = 0.009). There was no variance between the groups regarding MACEs. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with single vessel lesions who underwent PPCI to the culprit lesion had better recovery of LV function than those with multi-vessel (≥ 2 vessels) lesions who underwent PPCI to the culprit lesion only. The presence of multivessel involvement was an independent risk factor for deterioration in GLS. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Registered in clinical trial, clinicalTrial.gov ID NCT04103008 (25/09/2019).

Background: Patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and COVID-19 infection have a worse clinical course and prognosis. The prognostic significance of the timing of STEMI in relation to COVID-19 infection was not investigated. Objectives: To assess whether the time of STEMI development in relation to COVID-19 infection (concurrent or following the infection) influenced the short-term prognosis. Methods: This was an observational study of consecutive COVID-19 patients with STEMI admitted to the COVID-hospital Batajnica (February 2021-March 2022). The patients were divided into the "STEMI first" group: patients with STEMI and a positive polymerase chain reaction test for COVID-19, and the "COVID-19 first" group: patients who developed STEMI during COVID-19 treatment. All patients underwent coronary angiography. The primary endpoint was in-hospital all-cause mortality. Results: The study included 87 patients with STEMI and COVID-19 (Mage, 66.7 years, 66% male). The "STEMI first" group comprised 54 (62.1%) patients, and the "COVID-19 first" group included 33 (37.9%) patients. Both groups shared a comparatively high burden of comorbidities, similar angiographic and procedural characteristics, and high percentages of performed percutaneous coronary interventions with stent implantation (90.7% vs. 87.9%). In-hospital mortality was significantly higher in the "COVID-19 first" group compared to the "STEMI first" group (51.5% vs. 27.8%). Following adjustment, the "COVID-19 first" group had a hazard ratio of 3.22 (95% confidence interval, 1.18-8.75, p = .022) for in-hospital all-cause death, compared with the "STEMI first" group (reference). Conclusion: Clinical presentation with COVID-19 infection, followed by STEMI ("COVID-19 first"), was associated with greater short-term mortality compared to patients presenting with STEMI and testing positive for COVID-19 ("STEMI first").

AIM: We aim to describe prevalence of Emergency Medical Service (EMS) use, investigate factors predictive of EMS use, and determine if EMS use predicts treatment delay and mortality in our ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) cohort. METHOD: We prospectively collected data on 5,602 patients presenting with STEMI for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) transported to PCI-capable hospitals in Victoria, Australia, from 2013-2018 who were entered into the Victorian Cardiac Outcomes Registry (VCOR). We linked this dataset to the Ambulance Victoria and National Death Index (NDI) datasets. We excluded late presentation, thrombolysed, and in-hospital STEMI, as well as patients presenting with cardiogenic shock and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. RESULTS: In total, 74% of patients undergoing primary PCI for STEMI used EMS. Older age, female gender, higher socioeconomic status, and a history of prior ischaemic heart disease were independent predictors of using EMS. EMS use was associated with shorter adjusted door-to-balloon (53 vs 72 minutes, p<0.001) and symptom-to-balloon (183 vs 212 minutes, p<0.001) times. Mode of transport was not predictive of 30-day or 12-month mortality. CONCLUSIONS: EMS use in Victoria is relatively high compared with internationally reported data. EMS use reduces treatment delay. Predictors of EMS use in our cohort are consistent with those prevalent in prior literature. Understanding the patients who are less likely to use EMS might inform more targeted education campaigns in the future.

Background: Intramyocardial hemorrhage (IMH) is a result of ischemia-reperfusion injury in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). Despite patients with IMH show poorer prognoses, studies investigating predictors of IMH occurrence are scarce. This study firstly investigated the effectiveness of regulatory T cell (Treg), peak value of Creatine Kinase MB (pCKMB), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), and left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD) as predictors for IMH. Methods: In 182 STEMI patients received PPCI, predictors of IMH were analyzed by logistic regression analysis. The predictive ability of risk factors for IMH were determined by receiver operating characteristic curves, net reclassification improvement (NRI), integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) and C-index. Results: Overall, 80 patients (44.0%) developed IMH. All 4 biomarkers were independent predictors of IMH [odds ratio [OR] (95% confidence interval [CI]): 0.350 (0.202-0.606) for Treg, 1.004 (1.001-1.006) for pCKMB, 1.060 (1.022-1.100) for hsCRP, and 3.329 (1.346-8.236) for LVESD]. After propensity score matching (PSM), the biomarkers significantly predicted IMH with areas under the curve of 0.750 for Treg, 0.721 for pCKMB, 0.656 for hsCRP, 0.633 for LVESD, and 0.821 for the integrated 4-marker panel. The addition of integrated 4-marker panel to a baseline risk model had an incremental effect on the predictive value for IMH [NRI: 0.197 (0.039 to 0.356); IDI: 0.200 (0.142 to 0.259); C-index: 0.806 (0.744 to 0.869), all p < 0.05]. Conclusions: Treg individually or in combination with pCKMB, hsCRP, and LVESD can effectively predict the existence of IMH in STEMI patients received PPCI. Clinical Trial Registration: NCT03939338.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: The characteristics and clinical outcomes associated with sustained ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation (VT/VF) in Japanese acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients remain unknown.MethodsâandâResults: Consecutive AMI patients (n=1,941) transferred to the Hirosaki University Hospital and treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) within 12 h of onset were retrospectively studied. The incidence of VT/VF during hospitalization was 8.3%, and 75% of cases occurred by the end of PCI. Independent predictors associated with VT/VF occurrence by the end of PCI and after PCI, respectively, were identified. Additionally, the differences between patients with VT and VF were examined, which revealed that the characteristics of patients and predictors for VT and VF were clearly different. Additionally, the QRS duration during VT was measured, which demonstrated the possible involvement of Purkinje fibers for VT in the acute phase of AMI. Of the patients with VT/VF, 12% required ECMO support due to refractory VT/VF despite intravenous antiarrhythmic agents such as ß-blockers, amiodarone, and nifekalant. Among the patients discharged alive, 1,690 were followed up for a mean of 3.7 years. VT/VF occurrence during hospitalization did not affect the mid-term clinical outcomes even in patients with VT. CONCLUSIONS: The results clearly indicated that VT/VF is still a serious complications of AMI. We need to identify patients at high risk of developing VT/VF for careful observation and appropriate intervention.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: It has been reported that patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) transferred to low-volume primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) hospitals (<115/year) in low population density areas experience higher in-hospital mortality rates. This study compared in-hospital outcomes of patients admitted to high-volume primary PCI hospitals (≥115/year) with those for other regional general hospitals.MethodsâandâResults: Retrospective analysis was conducted on data obtained from 2,453 patients with AMI admitted to hospitals in Iwate Prefecture (2014-2018). Multivariate analysis revealed that the in-hospital mortality rate of AMI among patients in regional general hospitals was significantly higher than among patients in high-volume hospitals. However, no significant difference in mortality rate was observed among patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary PCI. Although no significant difference was found in the in-hospital mortality rate of patients with Killip class I STEMI, significantly lower in-hospital mortality rates were observed in patients admitted in high-volume hospitals for Killip classes II, III, and IV. CONCLUSIONS: Although in-hospital outcomes for patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI were similar, patients with heart failure or cardiogenic shock exhibited better in-hospital outcomes in high-volume primary PCI hospitals than those in regional general hospitals.

BACKGROUND: Several clinical studies have produced diverse results regarding the efficacy and safety of early intravenous beta-blockers in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). A study-level meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) comparing early intravenous beta-blockers versus placebo or routine care in STEMI patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was performed. METHODS: A database search was conducted using PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and Clinicaltrials.gov for randomized clinical trials (RCTs) that compared intravenous beta-blockers versus placebo or routine care in STEMI patients who underwent primary PCI. The efficacy outcomes were infarct size (IS, % of LV) and the myocardial salvage index (MSI) based on magnetic resonance imaging, electrocardiographic findings, heart rate, ST-segment reduction percent (STR%), and complete STR. Safety outcomes included arrhythmias in the first 24 h (ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation [VT/VF], atrial fibrillation [AF], bradycardia, and advanced atrioventricular [AV] block), cardiogenic shock and hypotension during hospitalization, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and major adverse cardiovascular events (cardiac death, stroke, reinfarction, and heart failure readmission) at follow-up. RESULTS: Seven RCTs with 1428 patients were included in this study, with 709 patients in the intravenous beta-blockers and 719 in the control group. Intravenous beta-blockers improved MSI compared to the control group (weighted mean difference [WMD] 8.46, 95% confidence interval [CI] 3.12-13.80, P = 0.002, I2 = 0%), but no differences were observed in IS (% of LV) between groups. Compared to the control group, the intravenous beta-blockers group had a lower risk of VT/VF (relative risk [RR] 0.65, 95% CI 0.45-0.94, P = 0.02, I2 = 35%) without an increase of AF, bradycardia, and AV-block and significantly decreased HR, hypotension. LVEF at 1 week ± 7 days (WMD 2.06, 95% CI 0.25-3.88, P = 0.03, I2 = 12%) and 6 months ± 7 days (WMD 3.24, 95% CI 1.54-4.95, P = 0.0002, I2 = 0%) was improved in the intravenous beta-blockers group compared to the control group. Subgroup analysis showed that intravenous beta-blockers before PCI decreased the risk of VT/VF and improved LVEF compared to the control group. Furthermore, sensitivity analysis showed that patients with a left anterior descending (LAD) artery lesion had a smaller IS (% of LV) in the intravenous beta-blockers group compared to the control group. CONCLUSION: Intravenous beta-blockers improved the MSI, decreased the risk of VT/VF in the first 24 h, and were associated with increased LVEF at 1 week and 6 months following PCI. In particular, intravenous beta-blockers started before PCI is beneficial for patients with LAD lesions.
RESUMEN
PURPOSE: We assessed the potential effect of CoQ10 administration for the prevention of contrast induced-acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS: One hundred fifty STEMI patients who were candidates for primary PCI, along with intravenous saline hydration, randomly received a placebo or CoQ10. CoQ10 was administrated orally, 400 mg before the procedure and 200 mg twice daily after the procedure for three consecutive days. Serum creatinine concentration and corresponding creatinine clearance (estimated by the CKD Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) creatinine equation) were measured at baseline and 24, 48, and 72 h after primary PCI. Furthermore, the serum level of superoxide dismutase (SOD), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and malondialdehyde (MDA) was measured before and 72 h after primary PCI. RESULTS: The mean serum creatinine concentration before contrast administration was similar in the two groups (0.98 ± 0.08 versus 0.99 ± 0.09 mg/dL). While in both study groups, compared to baseline, the mean serum creatinine concentration increased at 48 and 72 h after contrast exposure, the CoQ10 group showed a lower serum creatinine concentration than the placebo group (P-value = 0.017 and 0.004, respectively). However, comparing the mean values of creatinine clearance between the groups at the study time points did not demonstrate a statistically significant difference. CI-AKI, defined as a > 25% or 0.5 mg/dL increase in baseline serum creatinine concentration, occurred in 8.00% of the cases in the CoQ10 group versus 20.00% in the placebo group (P-value = 0.034). Furthermore, at 72 h, the CoQ10-treated group exhibited higher serum levels of SOD and TAC and a lower MDA level than the placebo-treated group. CONCLUSIONS: Our research's findings proposed CoQ10 supplementation as an adjuvant to saline hydration as a preventive approach against CI-AKI. TRIAL REGISTRATION: The trial was registered at Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials ( https://www.irct.ir/trial/60435 , identifier code: IRCT20120215009014N414). Registration date: 2021-12-29.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to examine the effects of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted with data collected from AMI patients who underwent successful PPCI. The study included 61 cases that received 8-week MBSR intervention (MBSR group) and 61 cases that received weekly health education (control group) over the same period. Outcome measures, including hemodynamic parameters, psychosocial characteristics [Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS)], health-related quality of life [HRQoL, 7-item Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ-7)], and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), were assessed at baseline (T1), post-intervention (T2), 1 month after the post-intervention (T3) and 3 months after the post-intervention (T4). RESULTS: Compared to the control group, the MBSR group showed improvements in blood pressure, specifically in systolic blood pressure (SBP) at T4, and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) at T3 and T4, and mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) at T3 and T4. Additionally, the MBSR group had lower scores of anxiety and perceived stress (HADS, PSS) and higher scores of perceived social support (PSSS) after the intervention. Furthermore, the MBSR group had higher scores on the SAQ-7 at all measurement points. The control group had a significantly higher total MACE rate compared to the MBSR group (26.23% vs. 9.84%). CONCLUSIONS: This study provides support for the potential benefits of MBSR as an adjunctive treatment for AMI patients undergoing PPCI.

OBJECTIVE: The study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of relative wall thickness (RWT) in the patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). METHODS: A total of 866 patients with STEMI admitted in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, The Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School from November 2010 to December 2018 were enrolled in the current study retrospectively. Three methods were used to calculate RWT: RWTPW, RWTIVS+PW and RWTIVS. The included patients were divided according to the median values of RWTPW, RWTIVS+PW, and RWTIVS, respectively. Survival analysis were performed with Kaplan-Meier plot and multivariate Cox proportional hazard model was established to evaluate the adjusted hazard ratio of the three kinds of RWT for all cause death, cardiac death and MACE (major adverse cardiac death). RESULTS: There was no significance for the survival analysis between the low and high groups of RWTPW, RWTIVS+PW and RWTIVS at 30 days and 12 months. Nonetheless, the cumulative incidence of all cause death and cardiac death in the low group of RWTPW and RWTIVS+PW was higher than those in the high group at 60 months. The cumulative incidence of MACE in the low group of RWTPW was higher than the high group at 60 months. Multivariate Cox regression model showed that RWTPW were inversely associated with long-term cardiac death and MACE in STEMI patients. In the subgroup analysis, three calculations of RWT had no predictive value for the patients with anterior myocardial infarction. By contrast, RWTPW was the most stable independent predictor for the long-term outcomes of the patients with non-anterior myocardial infarction. CONCLUSION: RWTPW, RWTIVS+PW and RWTIVS had no predictive value for the long-term clinical outcomes of patients with anterior myocardial infarction, whereas RWTPW was a reliable predictor for all cause death, cardiac death and MACE in patients with non-anterior myocardial infarction.

BACKGROUND: Acute hyperglycemia is considered an independent prognosticator of both in-hospital and long-term outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). This study aimed To analyze the incidence of acute hyperglycemia and its impact on the adverse in-hospital outcome in patients with STE-ACS undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS: In this study, we enrolled patients presenting with STE-ACS and undergoing primary PCI at a tertiary care cardiac center. Acute hyperglycemia was defined as random plasma glucose (RBS) > 200 mg/dl at the time of presentation to the emergency room. RESULTS: Of the 4470 patients, 78.8% were males, and the mean age was 55.52 ± 11 years. In total, 39.4% (1759) were found to have acute hyperglycemia, and of these, 59% (1037) were already diagnosed with diabetes. Patients with acute hyperglycemia were observed to have a higher incidence of heart failure (8.2% vs. 5.5%; p < 0.001), contrast-induced nephropathy (10.9% vs. 7.4%; p < 0.001), and in-hospital mortality (5.7% vs. 2.5%; p < 0.001). On multivariable analysis, acute hyperglycemia was found to be an independent predictor of mortality with an adjusted odds ratio of 1.81 [1.28-2.55]. Multi-vessel disease (1.73 [1.17-2.56]), pre-procedure left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) (1.02 [1.0-1.03]), and Killip class III/IV (4.55 [3.09-6.71]) were found to be the additional independent predictors of in-hospital mortality. CONCLUSIONS: Acute hyperglycemia, regardless of diabetic status, is an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality among patients with STE-ACS undergoing primary PCI. Acute hyperglycemia, along with other significant predictors such as multi-vessel involvement, LVEDP, and Killip class III/IV, can be considered for the risk stratification of these patients.

Objective. Most studies analyzing predictors of sudden cardiac death (SCD) after acute myocardial infarction included only high-risk patients or index reperfusion had not been performed in all patients. The aim of our study was to analyze the incidence of SCD and determine the predictors of SCD occurrence during 6-year follow-up of unselected patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). Method. we analysed 3114 STEMI patients included included in the University Clinical Center of Serbia STEMI Register. Patients presenting with cardiogenic schock were excluded. Echocardiographic examination was performed before hospital discharge. Results. During 6-year follow-up, lethal outcome was registered in 297 (9.5%) patients, of whom 95 (31.9%) had SCD. The highest incidence of SCD was recorded in the first year of follow-up, when SCD was registered in 25 patients, which is 26.3% of the total number of patients who had had SCD, i.e. 0.8% of the patients analyzed. The independent predictors for the occurrence of SCD during 6-year follow-up were EF < 45% (HR 3.07, 95% 1.87-5.02), post-procedural TIMI flow <3 (HR 2.59, 95%CI 1.37-5.14), reduced baseline kidney function (HR 1.87, 95%CI 1.12-2.93) and Killip class >1 at admission (HR 1.69, 95%CI 1.23-2.97). Conclusion. There is a low incidence of SCD in unselected STEMI patients treated with primary PCI. Predictors of SCD occurence during long-term follow-up in analyzed patients are clinical variables that are easily recorded during index hospitalization and include: EF ≤45%, post-procedural flow TIMI < 3, Killip class >1, and reduced baseline kidney function.

BACKGROUND: No reflow (NR) remains an important constraint in management of ST elevation myocardial Infarction (STEMI) patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Most ECG parameters validated till date including ST resolution are postprocedural. R wave peak time (RWPT) is a dynamic parameter and reflects conduction delay in ischaemic myocardium in selected leads supplied by infarct related artery (IRA). The present study was undertaken to see whether preprocedural RWPT per se or RWPT following primary PCI can predict persistence of NR along with immediate and short-term clinical outcome. METHODS: 200 patients were enrolled after exclusion. Clinical, Biochemical, ECG parameters including RPWT and angiographic parameters (pre- and post-procedure) were recorded. ECG papers was analysed using digital image processing software (http://imagej.nih.gov/ij/). All patients were followed up for 6 months. RESULTS: NR was observed in 35% of the patients. Age, Diabetes, symptom to balloon time, higher thrombus burden, peak CPK-MB level (pre and post procedure) were significantly higher in NR group. On ECG analysis, baseline RWPT, QRS duration and pathological Q wave were significantly higher in NR group. On multivariate analysis, age (OR 1.10 CI 1.00-1.21 P = 0.04), thrombus grade ≥ 3 in IRA (OR 12.38 CI 2.08-73.58 P = 0.006), symptom to balloon time (OR 2.18 CI 1.6-3.0 P < 0.001) and baseline RWPT on ECG [OR 1.86 CI 1.24-2.78, P = 0.003] were found to be independent predictors of NR. Increase in RWPT following primary PCI was found to both highly sensitive and specific for diagnosing persistence of NR after primary PCI. Follow up at the end of 6 months has shown that patients with increased RWPT following primary PCI had worse short-term cardiovascular outcomes compared to those with decreased RWPT following primary PCI. CONCLUSION: Baseline RWPT is a significant predictor of NR in patients of STEMI undergoing primary PCI. A persistently increased RWPT following primary PCI is also a highly sensitive and specific ECG marker of persistence of NR which is associated with adverse short-term clinical outcome.

BACKGROUND: We explored the potential of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for acute ischemic stroke patients at hospitals that perform percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in the United States. METHODS: We analyzed nationally representative data between 2017 and 2020 to determine the numbers, characteristics, and outcomes of acute ischemic stroke patients admitted to hospitals that perform both primary PCI and MT, hospitals that perform primary PCI but not MT and hospitals that perform neither PCI or MT. Multiple logistic regressions were performed to evaluate the effect of hospital type on in-hospital mortality and discharge home (without palliative care). RESULTS: A total of 1,210,415, 1,002,950, and 488,845 acute ischemic stroke patients were admitted to hospitals that performed both primary PCI and MT, performed primary PCI but not MT, or performed neither PCI nor MT, respectively. Compared with hospitals that performed both PCI and MT, the odds of in-hospital mortality were lower in hospitals that performed PCI only (odds ratio (OR) 0.88 95 % confidence interval (CI) 0.86-0.91, p<0.001) and hospitals that performed neither PCI or MT (OR 0.85 95 %CI 0.82-0.89, p<0.0010). There was no significant difference in the odds of discharge home between the three types of hospitals. CONCLUSIONS: Almost 37 % the patients with acute ischemic stroke are admitted to hospitals that perform primary PCI (but not MT) supporting strategies to increase the performance of MT in such hospitals as an option to increase rapid availability of MT in the United States.

BACKGROUND: In contrast to traditional femoral artery access, radial artery access for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is associated with reduced mortality and bleeding but has higher crossover rates. Therefore, factors associated with crossover warrant exploration as crossover due to technical challenges associated with the radial route may be mitigated. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to identify predictors of radial access failure or crossover to femoral access in PPCI. METHODS: A systematic review and meta-analysis was undertaken according to the Joanna Briggs Institute Systematic Reviews Checklist with searches conducted in Medline, EMBASE, CINAHL, and SCOPUS databases. Inclusion criteria for this study included patients with STEMI; PPCI; and primary research identifying predictors of radial access failures and/or crossovers, published in English, and after 2010. This study was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42020167122). Statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows version 26.0 (IBM Corp, Armonk, NY) and RevMan version 5.4 (Cochrane Collaboration, London, United Kingdom) with meta-analysis conducted by using the DerSimonian and Laird random-effects method. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Quality Assessment Tool for Observational Cohort and Cross-Sectional Studies was utilised for quality and risk of bias assessment, with EndNote software used for citations. RESULTS: Eight observational studies met inclusion criteria, comprising 12,621 patients. Risk of bias of these studies was assessed using the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Quality Assessment Tool for Observational Cohort and Cross-Sectional Studies. The mean age was 61.2 ± 12.0 years, and 75.3% were male. Crossover from transradial to transfemoral artery occurred in 529 (4.2%) patients. Reasons for radial access failure included failed puncture (35.3%), peripheral occlusion or tortuosity (24.5%), and radial artery spasm (20.1%). Predictors of crossover included older age (odds ratio [OR], 1.95; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.44-2.65; p < 0.001), female sex (OR, 2.10; 95% Cl, 1.58-2.80; p < 0.001), weight ≤65 kg (OR, 2.95; 95% CI, 1.95-4.46; p < 0.001), and previous percutaneous coronary intervention (OR, 2.80; 95% Cl, 1.74-4.52; p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Older age, female sex, weight ≤65 kg, and previous percutaneous coronary intervention were predictors of crossover or failure from the radial to femoral artery. As these predictors are known to be associated with high bleeding and mortality, they should not preclude attempting a radial-first approach in all patients with STEMI. However, as these results were unadjusted, this study warrants further research to thoroughly investigate predictors of radial artery crossover.

Late, repetitive or chronic remote ischaemic conditioning (CRIC) is a potential cardioprotective strategy against adverse remodelling following ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). In the randomised Daily Remote Ischaemic Conditioning Following Acute Myocardial Infarction (DREAM) trial, CRIC following primary percutaneous coronary intervention (P-PCI) did not improve global left ventricular (LV) systolic function. A post-hoc analysis was performed to determine whether CRIC improved regional strain. All 73 patients completing the original trial were studied (38 receiving 4 weeks' daily CRIC, 35 controls receiving sham conditioning). Patients underwent cardiovascular magnetic resonance at baseline (5-7 days post-STEMI) and after 4 months, with assessment of LV systolic function, infarct size and strain (longitudinal/circumferential, in infarct-related and remote territories). At both timepoints, there were no significant between-group differences in global indices (LV ejection fraction, infarct size, longitudinal/circumferential strain). However, regional analysis revealed a significant improvement in longitudinal strain in the infarcted segments of the CRIC group (from - 16.2 ± 5.2 at baseline to - 18.7 ± 6.3 at follow up, p = 0.0006) but not in corresponding segments of the control group (from - 15.5 ± 4.0 to - 15.2 ± 4.7, p = 0.81; for change: - 2.5 ± 3.6 versus + 0.3 ± 5.6, respectively, p = 0.027). In remote territories, there was a lower increment in subendocardial circumferential strain in the CRIC group than in controls (- 1.2 ± 4.4 versus - 2.5 ± 4.0, p = 0.038). In summary, CRIC following P-PCI for STEMI is associated with improved longitudinal strain in infarct-related segments, and an attenuated increase in circumferential strain in remote segments. Further work is needed to establish whether these changes may translate into a reduced incidence of adverse remodelling and clinical events.
