ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the impact of Enalapril-folic acid tablet on development of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in elderly patients with coronary heart diseases(CHD) complicated with mild renal insufficiency. Methods A total of 935 old patients (≥60 years) undergoing selective PCI at our hospital from January 2013 to June 2016 were enrolled in this retrospective study.Based on treatments during the perioperative phase ,the 935 patients were divided into Enalapril-folic acid tablet intervention group (n= 296 ,31.7％ ) ,and other RAS blocker control group with Angiotensin eonverting-enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or Angiotensin Ⅱreceptor blocker (ARB) (n=639 ,68.3％ ). The levels of serum creatinine for 72 hours after operation were monitored and evaluated.Baseline data and CIN incidence were compared between two groups.The clinical events within 1 month after contrast media application were recorded.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze independent risk factors for CIN after PCI. Results The incidence of CIN after PCI was lower in the intervention group than in the control group with no statistical significance[7.1％ (21/296) vs.11.1％ (71/639) ,χ2 = 3.679 ,P= 0.059].Multivariate regression analysis showed that age (OR=1.103 ,P=0.001) ,hypertension (OR=3.362 ,P=0.017) , and hyper-homocysteinemia (OR=3.528 ,P=0.003) were independent risk factors ,but the treatment with Enalapril-folic acid tablet might be a protective factor for development of CIN after PCI (OR=0.443 ,P=0.042).During the 1-month follow-up ,the rate of recurrent angina pectoris was lower in the intervention group than in the control group ( P < 0.05 ) ,while there were no statistically significant differences between two groups in the rates of rehospitalization due to worsening renal dysfunction ,dialysis/hemofiltration ,acute heart failure ,and new myocardial infarction (all P>0.05). Conclusions The treatment with enalapril-folic acid tablet may prevent the occurrence of CIN after PCI in elderly patients with coronary heart disease and mild renal insufficiency.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the impact of plasma homocysteinemia(Hcy) on contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Consecutive 684 ACS patients undergoing first PCI in our department between January 2013 and December 2014 were prospectively enrolled.Patients were divided into 2 groups according to the pre-procedural plasma Hcy level: high-Hcy group (Hcy≥10 μmol/L, n=404) and control group (Hcy<10 μmol/L, n=280). The CIN was defined as serum creatinine ≥ 44.2 μmol/L or 25% increase compared to baseline within 48-72 h after PCI.The baseline clinical data and the ratio of CIN were compared between the 2 groups.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to define the independent risk factors for CIN.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>CIN occurred in 133(19.4%) out of 684 enrolled patients, and the incidence of CIN was significantly higher in high Hcy group than in the control group (22.0%(89/404)vs. 15.7%(44/280), P=0.040). After adjusting the confounding factors, including age, acute myocardial infarction, co-morbidities(hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and old myocardial infarction), laboratory examination (level of cystatin C and uric acid), glomerular filtration rate, left ventricular ejection fraction, angiographic and procedural characteristics (3 diseased vessels, multiple stent implantation), treatment at admission (spironolactone, digoxin), multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that high Hcy was independently associated with the development of CIN (OR=1.70, 95%CI 1.60-2.64, P=0.021).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Elevated Hcy prior PCI is an independent risk factor of CIN in ACS patients undergoing first PCI.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the relationship between hyperhomocysteinemia (H-Hcy) and long-term outcome of coronary artery disease (CAD) patients after drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation in a single centre.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 1 408 consecutive patients implanted with DES in our department between March 2011 and January 2013 were enrolled in this prospective study. Patients were stratified into H-Hcy (Hcy≥10 µmol/L, n=798, 56.7%) and non-H-Hcy group (Hcy<10 µmol/L, n=610, 43.3%). The clinical characteristics, coronary artery lesions, SYNTAX score and 1-year major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) were compared between the two groups.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Compared with non-H-Hcy group, coronary artery stenosis was severer as shown by higher diseased arteries (2.11±0.87 vs. 1.91±0.82, P<0.001), higher incidence of three diseased arteries (39.7% vs. 29.5%, P<0.001) and higher SYNTAX score (36.99±29.66 vs. 27.39±22.70, P=0.001) in H-Hcy group. The 1-year incidence of MACCE was also higher in H-Hcy group compared with non-H-Hcy group(18.4% vs. 8.9%, P<0.001). Multivariate Cox analysis showed that diabetes mellitus (OR=1.530, 95%CI 1.142-2.050, P=0.004), age (OR=1.065, 95%CI 1.038-1.093; P<0.001), and Hcy (OR=1.019, 95%CI 1.005-1.033, P=0.009) are the independent predictors for 1-year MACCE.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>High Hcy level is correlated with the severity of coronary artery stenosis, and serves as an independent predictor of MACCE after stenting in CAD patients.</p>
