RESUMO

The pandemic has led to adverse short-term outcomes for patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). It is unknown if this translates to poorer long-term outcomes. In Singapore, the escalation of the outbreak response on February 7, 2020 demanded adaptation of STEMI care to stringent infection control measures. A total of 321 patients presenting with STEMI and undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention at a tertiary hospital were enrolled and followed up over 1-year. They were allocated into three groups based on admission date-(1) Before outbreak response (BOR): December 1, 2019-February 6, 2020, (2) During outbreak response (DOR): February 7-March 31, 2020, and (3) control group: November 1-December 31, 2018. The incidence of cardiac-related mortality, cardiac-related readmissions, and recurrent coronary events were examined. Although in-hospital outcomes were worse in BOR and DOR groups compared to the control group, there were no differences in the 1-year cardiac-related mortality (BOR 8.7%, DOR 7.1%, control 4.8%, p = 0.563), cardiac-related readmissions (BOR 15.1%, DOR 11.6%, control 12.0%, p = 0.693), and recurrent coronary events (BOR 3.2%, DOR 1.8%, control 1.2%, p = 0.596). There were higher rates of additional PCI during the index admission in DOR, compared to BOR and control groups (p = 0.027). While patients admitted for STEMI during the pandemic may have poorer in-hospital outcomes, their long-term outcomes remain comparable to the pre-pandemic era.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The clinical significance of coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is not yet fully understood. We aimed to examine differences in clinical and procedural characteristics, clinical management, and outcomes in patients with CAE undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). METHODS: This was a retrospective analysis of consecutive patients presenting with STEMI with a culprit native coronary artery from July 2015 to June 2019. Patients were divided into CAE and Non-CAE groups as detected on coronary angiography during PPCI. Comparison between groups was made for baseline clinical and procedural characteristics, as well as complications, pharmacological treatment, and follow-up outcomes. RESULTS: 36/1780 (2.0%) patients were found to have CAE. Patients with CAE had a median age of 57.1 ± 11.7 years and were more likely to be male 33/36 (91.7%). Diabetes was less commonly seen in the CAE group (11.1% vs 31.4%, p = 0.010), and there were no differences in the proportion of patients with hypertension and hyperlipidemia. Patients with CAE had more involvement of right coronary artery (RCA) culprit vessel (63.9% vs. 38.4%, p = 0.026), less coronary stenting (25.0% vs 87.2%, p < 0.001) and post-PPCI TIMI 3 flow (69.4% vs 95.5%, P < 0.001), and were more likely to be discharged with oral anticoagulants (36.1% vs 7.6%, p < 0.001). At 3-year follow-up, all-cause mortality rates were higher in the non-CAE group (0.0% vs 11.5%, p < 0.028), suggesting that CAE was not associated with unfavorable long-term outcome. On multivariate analysis, CAE was not an independent predictor of MACE. CONCLUSION: Despite lower rates of post-PPCI TIMI 3 flow, CAE was not associated with unfavorable long-term outcome.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is associated with significant mortality leading to loss of productive life years, especially in younger patients. This study aims to compare the characteristics and outcomes of young versus older patients with STEMI undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) to help focus public health efforts in STEMI prevention. METHODS: Data from the Coronary Care Unit database of the National University Hospital, Singapore from July 2015 to June 2019 were reviewed. Patients were divided into young (<50 years old) or older (≥50 years old) groups. RESULTS: Of the 1818 consecutive patients with STEMI who underwent PPCI, 465 (25.6%) were <50 years old. Young compared with older patients were more likely to be male, current smokers, of Indian ethnicity, have family history of ischaemic heart disease (IHD) and had lower 1 year mortality (3.4% vs 10.4%, p<0.0001). Although diabetes, hypertension or dyslipidaemia was less common among young patients, the prevalence of having any one of these risk factors was high in the range of 28% to 38%. Age was an independent predictor of mortality in the older but not younger patients with STEMI, and diabetes showed a trend towards mortality in both groups. CONCLUSION: Young patients with STEMI are more often smokers, of Indian ethnicity and had family history of IHD, although cardiometabolic risk factors are also prevalent. Mortality is lower, but not negligible, among the young patients with STEMI. Public health efforts are needed to reduce the prevalence of these risk factors among the constitutionally susceptible population.
