RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Physicians are not always comfortable deferring treatment of a stenosis in the left anterior descending (LAD) artery because of the perception that there is a high risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACE). The authors describe, using the DEFINE-FLAIR (Functional Lesion Assessment of Intermediate Stenosis to Guide Revascularisation) trial, MACE rates when LAD lesions are deferred, guided by physiological assessment using fractional flow reserve (FFR) or the instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR). OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to establish the safety of deferring treatment in the LAD using FFR or iFR within the DEFINE-FLAIR trial. METHODS: MACE rates at 1 year were compared between groups (iFR and FFR) in patients whose physiological assessment led to LAD lesions being deferred. MACE was defined as a composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction (MI), and unplanned revascularization at 1 year. Patients, and staff performing follow-up, were blinded to whether the decision was made with FFR or iFR. Outcomes were adjusted for age and sex. RESULTS: A total of 872 patients had lesions deferred in the LAD (421 guided by FFR, 451 guided by iFR). The event rate with iFR was significantly lower than with FFR (2.44% vs. 5.26%; adjusted HR: 0.46; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.22 to 0.95; p = 0.04). This was driven by significantly lower unplanned revascularization with iFR and numerically lower MI (unplanned revascularization: 2.22% iFR vs. 4.99% FFR; adjusted HR: 0.44; 95% CI: 0.21 to 0.93; p = 0.03; MI: 0.44% iFR vs. 2.14% FFR; adjusted HR: 0.23; 95% CI: 0.05 to 1.07; p = 0.06). CONCLUSIONS: iFR-guided deferral appears to be safe for patients with LAD lesions. Patients in whom iFR-guided deferral was performed had statistically significantly lower event rates than those with FFR-guided deferral.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Acute myocardial infarction (MI) causes left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction, which influences prognosis and clinical evolution. Early flow propagation velocity (FPV), evaluated by color M-mode Doppler, has been demonstrated to be a diastolic function parameter with excellent correlation with relaxation constant tau, and is relatively independent of pre- and afterload. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate left ventricular relaxation in MI patients treated with acute reperfusion therapy. METHODS: Patients with ST-elevation MI treated with reperfusion therapy were evaluated by echocardiagraphy in the first 48 hours and after one week. The parameters studied were: early peak filling velocity (E), late peak filling velocity (A), E/A ratio, E-wave deceleration time (EDT), isovolumic relaxation time (IVRT) and FPV. The values obtained at the first and second evaluation were compared; we evaluated the relation between pain-to-reperfusion time (PRT; < or =3 hours vs. >3 hours) and the presence of single-vessel or multivessel disease with the parameters previously mentioned. RESULTS: 40 patients were studied and 19 included, 15 (80%) male, mean age 57+/-14 The most prevalent risk factors were: hypertension (11 patients - 58%), smoking (14 - 74%), diabetes (6 - 30%), and dyslipidemia (12 - 63%). MI location was anterior in six patients (31%) and inferior in 13 (69%). Five patients (26%) underwent fibrinolysis and 14 (74%) direct percutaneous coronary intervention. Mean pain-to-reperfusion time was 3.7+/-2.8 hours. Four patients (21%) had single-vessel disease and 14 (74%) had multivessel disease. Near significance was found for the difference in the E/A ratio between the two evaluations and a significant difference in the FPV. A significant correlation was also found between PRT and E/A ratio at the two evaluations (p=0.003, p=0.05), and between PRT and IVRT after one week (p=0.011). E/A ratio, IVRT and FPV were normal at the two evaluations in patients who had undergone earlier reperfusion therapy. No significance was found between the number of diseased vessels and the parameters of diastolic function assessed. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: In the early phase of M1 treated with acute reperfusion, a delayed relaxation pattern was observed, which evolved to a normal pattern by the second evaluation, as statistically confirmed by FPV. Earlier reperfusion therapy preserves diastolic function. FPV is a sensitive and independent parameter for assessment of diastolic function in MI patients treated with acute reperfusion therapy.
