Indexes of inflammation and nutrition alone were shown to predict outcomes in patients with PCI. However, the clinical predictive value of mixed indicators is unclear. This study aimed to assess the predictive value of the albumin/neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) on the long-term prognosis of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: A total of 608 post-PCI CHD patients were categorized into low- and high-index groups based on the optimal cut-off values for albumin and NLR. The primary outcome was a composite endpoint comprising all-cause mortality and major adverse cerebrovascular events. The secondary outcome was the comparison of the predictive efficiency of the new nutritional index, albumin/NLR, with that of albumin or NLR alone. Results: Over the five-year follow-up period, 45 patients experienced the composite endpoint. The incidence of endpoint events was significantly higher in the low-index group (12%) compared to the high-index group (4.9%). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis revealed that the albumin/NLR index had a larger area under the curve (AUC: 0.655) than albumin (AUC: 0.621) or NLR (AUC: 0.646), indicating superior predictive efficiency. The prognostic nutritional index had an AUC of 0.644, further supporting the enhanced predictive value of the albumin/NLR index over individual nutritional and inflammatory markers. Conclusion: The albumin/neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio is independently associated with the long-term prognosis of CHD patients post-PCI and demonstrates superior predictive efficiency compared to individual nutritional and inflammatory markers.展开更多

Whether this advantage of CABG over PCI is confined to diabetics who require insulin is unknown. We review the published literature comparing CABG with PCI in diabetics including 8 cohorts and 4,786 patients. There was a lower rate for all-cause mortality (Relative risk (RR): 0.78, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.62-0.99), and for major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE, RR: 0.59, 95% CI: 0.47-0.75) for CABG compared to PCI. Composite outcome of mortality, myocardial infarction and stoke was similar between CABG and PCI (RR: 0.87, 95% CI: 0.54-1.42). Visual inspection of the forest plots showed that in most analyses, the point estimates of the RR are similar between the insulin requiring group and non-insulin requiring group. On meta-regression, there was no interaction between status of insulin requirement and revascularization strategies (P 〉 0.05 for all). The pre- sented data on the still unpublished analysis of the FREEDOM trial showed similar results. Thus, in the current era, CABG is superior to PCI with lower mortality and MACCE rates, but the state of insulin requirement had no effect on the outcomes from the two revascularization strategies.展开更多

Methods From January 2009 to December 2012, 1268 patients (86.4% male, mean age of 58,4 ± 12.2 years) presented to our hospital for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and underwent PPCI. They were divided into two groups: elderly group defined as age _〉 70 years and non-elderly group defined as age 〈 70 years. Data were collected retrospectively on baseline clinical characteristics, door-to-balloon (D2B) time, angiographic findings, therapeutic modality and hospital course. Results The elderly group constituted 19% of the study population with mean age 76.6 ± 5.0 years. There was a higher proportion of female gender and ethnic Chinese patients in the elderly group when compared with the non-elderly group. The former was less likely to be smokers and have a significantly higher prevalence of hypertension. The mean D2B time was significantly longer in the elderly group. They also had a significantly higher incidence of triple vessel disease and obstructive left main disease. The use of radial artery access, glyeoprotein 2b/3a inhibitors and drug-eluting stents during PPCI were also significantly lower. In-hospital mortality was significantly higher in the elderly group. The rate of cardiogenic shock and inhospital complications were also significantly higher. Conclusions Our registry showed that in-hospital mortality rate in elderly South-East Asian patients undergoing PPCI for STEMI was high. Further studies into the optimal STEMI management strat- egy for these elderly patients are warranted.展开更多

Methods: 50 patients were enrolled in this study during the period from 1/11/2018 to 1/11/2019 at Menoufiya University and national heart institute. All patients present with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction within 24 hours of onset of symptoms, and have multi vessel coronary artery disease on angiography suitable for PCI. Patients were subjected to detailed medical history, physical examination, and electrocardiography. Results: 50 patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (28 females and 22 males) underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention. 25 patients had total revascularization to all coronary arteries, the other 25 patients had only culprit revascularization. We found that there was a significant reduction in the incidence of recurrent chest pain and non-fatal Myocardial infarction in the total revascularization group. Conclusion: Our study showed that Multivessel revascularization resulted in an improved clinical course and a significant reduction of MACCE regarding non-fatal MI and a significant reduction of recurrent chest pain.展开更多

Methods From May 2003 to April 2005, 150 consecutive type 2 diabetic patients with MVD underwent revascularization, 84 by percutaneous coronary intervention (PC1) with DES and 66 by CABG. The study end point was the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) during hospital interval after procedure and follow-up. Results Most preoperative characteristics were similar in two groups, but left main disease (30% vs 4%, P = 0. 001 ) and three-vessel disease ( 70% vs 54%, P = 0. 045 ) were more prevalent in CABG group. Complete revascularization was achieved in more patients in CABG group than that in PC1 group (82% vs 67%, P =0. 037). Cumulative incidence of MACEs in hospital was similar between two groups (2.4% PC1 vs 9. 1% CABG , P =0. 069) despite the higher early morbidity (6. 1% vs 0%, P =0. 022) associated with CABG. Patients were followed up clinically for a mean of 18 - 8 months ( range 13- 36 months). The incidence of MACEs remained higher after PC1 with multiple DES (21.4% vs 9. 1%, P =0. 041 ) mainly driven by a more require for repeat revascularization ( 13. 1% vs 3. 0%, P = 0. 030 ). Conclusion PC1 with DES implantation, combined with tight glycemic control, aggressive cardiovascular risk factor modification and antiplatelet treatment, may be a safe and feasible alternative to CABG for selected diabetic patients with multivessel disease.展开更多

文摘Background and Objective: Some patients continue to experience major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in frigid places. Indexes of inflammation and nutrition alone were shown to predict outcomes in patients with PCI. However, the clinical predictive value of mixed indicators is unclear. This study aimed to assess the predictive value of the albumin/neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) on the long-term prognosis of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: A total of 608 post-PCI CHD patients were categorized into low- and high-index groups based on the optimal cut-off values for albumin and NLR. The primary outcome was a composite endpoint comprising all-cause mortality and major adverse cerebrovascular events. The secondary outcome was the comparison of the predictive efficiency of the new nutritional index, albumin/NLR, with that of albumin or NLR alone. Results: Over the five-year follow-up period, 45 patients experienced the composite endpoint. The incidence of endpoint events was significantly higher in the low-index group (12%) compared to the high-index group (4.9%). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis revealed that the albumin/NLR index had a larger area under the curve (AUC: 0.655) than albumin (AUC: 0.621) or NLR (AUC: 0.646), indicating superior predictive efficiency. The prognostic nutritional index had an AUC of 0.644, further supporting the enhanced predictive value of the albumin/NLR index over individual nutritional and inflammatory markers. Conclusion: The albumin/neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio is independently associated with the long-term prognosis of CHD patients post-PCI and demonstrates superior predictive efficiency compared to individual nutritional and inflammatory markers.
文摘Several studies have shown that coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) is superior to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with diabetes and multi-vessel disease. Whether this advantage of CABG over PCI is confined to diabetics who require insulin is unknown. We review the published literature comparing CABG with PCI in diabetics including 8 cohorts and 4,786 patients. There was a lower rate for all-cause mortality (Relative risk (RR): 0.78, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.62-0.99), and for major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE, RR: 0.59, 95% CI: 0.47-0.75) for CABG compared to PCI. Composite outcome of mortality, myocardial infarction and stoke was similar between CABG and PCI (RR: 0.87, 95% CI: 0.54-1.42). Visual inspection of the forest plots showed that in most analyses, the point estimates of the RR are similar between the insulin requiring group and non-insulin requiring group. On meta-regression, there was no interaction between status of insulin requirement and revascularization strategies (P 〉 0.05 for all). The pre- sented data on the still unpublished analysis of the FREEDOM trial showed similar results. Thus, in the current era, CABG is superior to PCI with lower mortality and MACCE rates, but the state of insulin requirement had no effect on the outcomes from the two revascularization strategies.

文摘Objective To evaluate the clinical characteristics and in-hospital outcomes of elderly South-East Asian patients undergoing primary pereutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). Methods From January 2009 to December 2012, 1268 patients (86.4% male, mean age of 58,4 ± 12.2 years) presented to our hospital for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and underwent PPCI. They were divided into two groups: elderly group defined as age _〉 70 years and non-elderly group defined as age 〈 70 years. Data were collected retrospectively on baseline clinical characteristics, door-to-balloon (D2B) time, angiographic findings, therapeutic modality and hospital course. Results The elderly group constituted 19% of the study population with mean age 76.6 ± 5.0 years. There was a higher proportion of female gender and ethnic Chinese patients in the elderly group when compared with the non-elderly group. The former was less likely to be smokers and have a significantly higher prevalence of hypertension. The mean D2B time was significantly longer in the elderly group. They also had a significantly higher incidence of triple vessel disease and obstructive left main disease. The use of radial artery access, glyeoprotein 2b/3a inhibitors and drug-eluting stents during PPCI were also significantly lower. In-hospital mortality was significantly higher in the elderly group. The rate of cardiogenic shock and inhospital complications were also significantly higher. Conclusions Our registry showed that in-hospital mortality rate in elderly South-East Asian patients undergoing PPCI for STEMI was high. Further studies into the optimal STEMI management strat- egy for these elderly patients are warranted.
文摘In the past,comparative effectiveness trials evaluating percutaneous coronary interventions(PCI),using either balloon angioplasty or bare metal stent(BMS) implantation,versus coronary artery bypass surgery(CABG) found similar survival rates at long-term follow-up with both revascularization strategies.Two major meta-analyses of these trials reported 5-and 6-year comparative effectiveness between PCI and CABG:one included only four trials that compared PCI with BMS implantation versus CABG whereas the largest one also included trials using balloon angioplasty.In these studies,the authors observed no survival differences between groups although a significant survival advantage was seen in diabetics treated with CABG and this benefit was also perceived in elderly patients.In both reports,number of involved vessels,presence of left anterior descending artery stenosis or poor left ventricular ejection fraction were no predictors of poor survival with PCI.Therefore,extent of the coronary artery disease(CAD) was not associated with poor outcome after PCI in the pre-drug eluting stent(DES) era.Recently,the ASCERT(Database Collaboration on the Comparative Effectiveness of Revascularization Strategies) registry found higher mortality rate with PCI in patients ≥ 65 years old in comparison with CABG,and advantages of surgery were seen in all subgroups including those at low risk.In this registry,PCI was accomplished by implantation of the first type of DES designs in 78% of cases.The intriguing observation of high mortality rate with PCI,including for non-diabetics and patients with two-vessel CAD,meaning a lack of clinical benefit with DES implantation,had not been seen previously.The study was not randomized,although its results are largely strengthened by its sample size.In this manuscript,the authors describe other registries and randomized trials reporting similar results supporting the findings of the aforementioned study and explore the reasons for these results,while also searching for potential solutions.
文摘Objectives: To compare between only Culprit revascularization versus total revascularization in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary PCI with 6 months follow up of occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACCE). Methods: 50 patients were enrolled in this study during the period from 1/11/2018 to 1/11/2019 at Menoufiya University and national heart institute. All patients present with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction within 24 hours of onset of symptoms, and have multi vessel coronary artery disease on angiography suitable for PCI. Patients were subjected to detailed medical history, physical examination, and electrocardiography. Results: 50 patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (28 females and 22 males) underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention. 25 patients had total revascularization to all coronary arteries, the other 25 patients had only culprit revascularization. We found that there was a significant reduction in the incidence of recurrent chest pain and non-fatal Myocardial infarction in the total revascularization group. Conclusion: Our study showed that Multivessel revascularization resulted in an improved clinical course and a significant reduction of MACCE regarding non-fatal MI and a significant reduction of recurrent chest pain.
文摘BACKGROUND Although bilirubin is known to be an antioxidant,any relationship with coronary heart disease remains controversial.To the best of our knowledge,no previous study has investigated the association between bilirubin and perioperative myocardial infarction(PMI),including its long-term prognosis.AIM To investigate the impact of bilirubin levels on PMI in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI),and long-term prognosis in post-PMI patients.METHODS Between January 2014 and September 2018,10236 patients undergoing elective PCI were enrolled in the present study.Total bilirubin(TB)and cardiac troponin I(cTnI)levels were measured prior to PCI and cTnI at further time-points,8,16 and 24 h after PCI.Participants were stratified by pre-PCI TB levels and divided into three groups:<10.2;10.2-14.4 and>14.4μmol/L.PMI was defined as producing a post-procedural cTnI level of>5×upper limit of normal(ULN)with normal baseline cTnI.Major adverse cardiovascular events(MACEs)included cardiac death,MI,stroke and revascularization during a maximum 5-year follow-up.RESULTS PMI was detected in 526(15.3%),431(12.7%)and 424(12.5%)of patients with pre-PCI TB levels of<10.2,10.2-14.4 and>14.4μmol/L(P=0.001),respectively.Multivariate logistical analysis indicated that patients with TB 10.2-14.4 and>14.4μmol/L had a lower incidence of PMI[TB 10.2-14.4μmol/L:Odds ratio(OR):0.854;95%confidence interval(CI):0.739-0.987;P=0.032;TB>14.4μmol/L:OR:0.846;95%CI:0.735-0.975;P=0.021]compared with patients with TB<10.2μmol/L.Construction of a Kaplan-Meier curve demonstrated a higher MACE-free survival time for patients with higher TB than for those with lower TB(log-rank P=0.022).After adjustment for cardiovascular risk factors and angiographic characteristics,multivariate Cox analysis showed that a TB level>14.4μmol/L was associated with a reduced risk of MACEs compared with a TB level<10.2μmol/L(hazard ratio 0.667;95%CI:0.485-0.918;P=0.013).CONCLUSION Bilirubin was a protective factor in PMI prediction.For post-PMI patients,elevated bilirubin levels were independently associated with a reduced risk of MACEs during long-term follow-up.

文摘Objective:This study aimed to evaluate the major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events(MACCEs)and overall safety profile associated with iodixanol in Chinese patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).Methods:Patients at 30 centers in China registered in the OpenClinic v3.6 database from October 30,2013,to October 7,2015,were included in the study.The primary endpoint was in-hospital MACCEs including target lesion revascularization(TLR),stroke,stent thrombosis,cardiac death,and PCI-related myocardial infarction(MI)within 72 h post-PCI.Secondary endpoints were MACCEs from 72 h to 30 d post-PCI and other safety events within 30 d post-PCI.Results:A total of 3,042 patients were enrolled.The incidence of MACCEs within 72 h post-PCI was 2.33%(n=71),including cardiac death(0.03%,n=1)and PCI-related MI(2.30%,n=70).The incidence of MACCEs from 72 h to 30 d post-PCI was 0.16%(n=5),including cardiac death(0.10%,n=3),PCI-related MI(0.03%,n=1),and TLR for stent thrombosis(0.03%,n=1).The incidence of composite angiographic or procedural complications was 2.86%(n=87);233(7.86%)patients had results suggesting contrast-induced acute kidney injury.Conclusions:These findings indicate that the use of iodixanol in Chinese patients undergoing PCI is associated with a low incidence of MACCEs,confirming its safety in this population.
文摘The late-breaking science presented at the 2023 scientific session of the American Heart Association paves the way for future pragmatic trials and provides meaningful information to guide management strategies in coronary artery disease and heart failure(HF).The dapagliflozin in patient with acute myocardial infarction(DAPA-MI)trial showed that dapagliflozin use among patients with acute MI without a history of diabetes mellitus or chronic HF has better cardiometabolic outcomes compared with placebo,with no difference in cardiovascular outcomes.The MINT trial showed that in patients with acute MI and anemia(Hgb<10 g/dL),a liberal transfusion goal(Hgb≥10 g/dL)was not superior to a restrictive strategy(Hgb 7-8 g/dL)with respect to 30-day all-cause death and recurrent MI.The ORBITA-2 trial showed that among patients with stable angina and coronary stenoses causing ischemia on little or no antianginal therapy,percutaneous coronary intervention results in greater improvements in anginal frequency and exercise times compared with a sham procedure.The ARIES-HM3 trial showed that in patients with advanced HF who received a HeartMate 3 levitated left ventricular assist device and were anticoagulated with a vitamin K antagonist,placebo was noninferior to daily aspirin with respect to the composite endpoint of bleeding and thrombotic events at 1 year.The TEAMMATE trial showed that everolimus with low-dose tacrolimus is safe in children and young adults when given≥6 months after cardiac transplantation.Providing patients being treated for HF with reduced ejection fraction(HFrEF)with specific out-of-pocket(OOP)costs for multiple medication options at the time of the clinical encounter may reduce‘contingency planning’and increase the extent to which patients are taking the medications decided upon.The primary outcome,which was cost-informed decisionmaking,defined as the clinician or patient mentioning costs of HFrEF medication,occurred in 49%of encounters with the checklist only control group compared with 68%of encounters in the OOP cost group.
文摘Background Aspirin and clopidogrel resistance plays a significant role in the development of cardiovascular ischemic events for ninety patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.Recent studies have indicated that increasing the dose of antiplatelet drugs maybe a potent method to improve the inhibition of platelet aggregation.Methods Thrombelastograph (TEG) determinations were used to evaluate the effect of antiplatelet therapy.According to the results,90 patients were divided into three groups and given different doses of aspirin and clopidogrel.Thirty patients with both an inhibition rate of aspirin 〉50% and an inhibition rate of clopidogrel 〉50% were defined as the control group.Sixty patients with an inhibition rate for aspirin 〈50% and an inhibition rate for clopidogrel 〈50% were defined as the resistance group.Patients in resistance group were randomly assigned to be given a routine dose (100 mg aspirin plus 75 mg clopidogrel per day,which we called a resistance plus routine dose group,R+R) and a loading dose (200 mg aspirin and 150 mg clopidogrel per day,which we called resistance plus loading dose group,R+L) of antiplatelet therapy.A 12-month follow-up was observed to examine the change of inhibition rate of antiplatelet therapy and to estimate the relationship between inhibition rate and the occurrence of cardiovascular ischemic events.Results After 6 months of antiplatelet therapy,the inhibition rate of aspirin in the R+L group increased from (31.4±3.7)% to (68.6±7.1)%,which was significantly higher than that in R+R group,(51.9±8.2)% (P 〈0.01).The inhibition rate of clopidogrel in the R+L group increased from (22.1±3.8)% to (60.2±7.4)%,which was significantly higher than in the R+R group,(45.9±4.3)% (P 〈0.01).The occurrence rates of cardiovascular ischemic events,stent thrombosis,recurrent unstable angina and myocardial infarction in the R+R group were 20%,36% and 17%,respectively.Occurrence was significantly increased compared with that in the control group,3%,10% and 1%,respectively (P 〈0.01).In contrast,the occurrence rates in the R+L group (10%,23% and 6%,respectively) were attenuated compared with those in the R+R group (P 〈0.01 ),although still higher than in the control group (P 〈0.01).Conclusions Almost all of the cardiovascular ischemic events occurred in the first six months after percutaneous coronary intervention.According to the result of TEG determinations,earlier application of a loading dose of aspirin and clopidogrel can decrease the rate of recurrent cardiovascular ischemic events.
文摘Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of drug-elating stents (DES) implantation in diabetic patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (MVD) compared with coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) on the clinical outcomes. Methods From May 2003 to April 2005, 150 consecutive type 2 diabetic patients with MVD underwent revascularization, 84 by percutaneous coronary intervention (PC1) with DES and 66 by CABG. The study end point was the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) during hospital interval after procedure and follow-up. Results Most preoperative characteristics were similar in two groups, but left main disease (30% vs 4%, P = 0. 001 ) and three-vessel disease ( 70% vs 54%, P = 0. 045 ) were more prevalent in CABG group. Complete revascularization was achieved in more patients in CABG group than that in PC1 group (82% vs 67%, P =0. 037). Cumulative incidence of MACEs in hospital was similar between two groups (2.4% PC1 vs 9. 1% CABG , P =0. 069) despite the higher early morbidity (6. 1% vs 0%, P =0. 022) associated with CABG. Patients were followed up clinically for a mean of 18 - 8 months ( range 13- 36 months). The incidence of MACEs remained higher after PC1 with multiple DES (21.4% vs 9. 1%, P =0. 041 ) mainly driven by a more require for repeat revascularization ( 13. 1% vs 3. 0%, P = 0. 030 ). Conclusion PC1 with DES implantation, combined with tight glycemic control, aggressive cardiovascular risk factor modification and antiplatelet treatment, may be a safe and feasible alternative to CABG for selected diabetic patients with multivessel disease.
文摘Background The choice between coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for revascularisation in patients with diabetes and multivessel coronary artery disease, who account for 25% of revascularisation procedures, is much debated. We aimed to assess whether all-cause mortality differed be- tween patients with diabetes who had CABG or PCI by doing a systematic review and meta-analysis of ran- domised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing CABG with PCI in the modem stent era.
