Antithrombotic Therapy for Atrial Fibrillation and Coronary Disease de-Mystified
Publication date: Available online 20 August 2018Source: Canadian Journal of CardiologyAuthor(s): Jason G. Andrade, Marc W. Deyell, Graham C. Wong, Laurent MacleABSTRACTAtrial fibrillation (AF) is a progressive chronic disease characterized by exacerbations and periods of remission. It is estimated that up to 20-30% of those with AF also have coronary artery disease (CAD), and 5-15% will require percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). In patients with concomitant AF and CAD, management remains challenging and requires a careful and balanced assessment of the risk of bleeding against the anticipated impact on ischemic out...

Contemporary Atrial Fibrillation Management: A Comparison of the Current AHA/ACC/HRS, CCS, and ESC Guidelines
Publication date: August 2017 Source:Canadian Journal of Cardiology, Volume 33, Issue 8 Author(s): Jason G. Andrade, Laurent Macle, Stanley Nattel, Atul Verma, John Cairns In this article we compare and contrast the current recommendations, and highlight the important differences, in the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association/Heart Rhythm Society, European Society of Cardiology, and Canadian Cardiovascular Society atrial fibrillation (AF) guidelines. Although many of the recommendations of the various societies are similar, there are important differences in the methodologies underlying their developmen...

Associations between Complex PCI and Prasugrel or Clopidogrel use in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndromes undergoing PCI: From the PROMETHEUS Study
Conclusions Despite the use of contemporary techniques, ACS patients undergoing complex PCI had significantly higher rates of 1-year MACE. Adjusted magnitude of treatment effects with prasugrel versus clopidogrel were consistent in complex and non-complex PCI without evidence of interaction. Teaser In this analysis from the PROMETHEUS ACS registry (n = 19,914), complex PCI (PCI of left main/ bifurcation/ moderate-severely calcified lesion/ stent length ≥30mm) was associated with greater risk of 1-year MACE (death, myocardial infarction, stroke or unplanned revascularization; HR 1.29 [1.20-1.39]). Treatment effects with p...

Outcomes Among Clopidogrel, Prasugrel, And Ticagrelor In Stemi Patients Undergoing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention From The Total Trial
ConclusionsIn this observational analysis of STEMI patients undergoing PPCI, ticagrelor was associated with improved outcomes compared to clopidogrel and prasugrel. An appropriately powered randomized trial is needed to confirm these findings.

Acute Myocardial Infarction in Severe Mental Illness: Prevalence, Clinical Outcomes, and Process of Care in U.S. Hospitalizations
ConclusionSchizophrenia and ONOP are the only SMI subtypes associated with adverse clinical outcomes after AMI. However, all patients with SMI were less likely to receive invasive management for AMI, with female gender and schizophrenia diagnosis being the strongest predictors of conservative management. A multidisciplinary approach between psychiatrists and cardiologists could improve the outcomes of this high-risk population.RésuméContexteLe trouble mental grave (TMG) est associé à une augmentation de la mortalité cardiovasculaire. Nous avons étudié la prévalence des patients atteints d’un TMG qui avaient subi ...

Outcomes Among Clopidogrel, Prasugrel, and Ticagrelor in ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction Patients Who Underwent Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention From the TOTAL Trial
ConclusionsIn this observational analysis of STEMI patients who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention, ticagrelor was associated with improved outcomes compared with clopidogrel and prasugrel. An appropriately powered randomized trial is needed to confirm these findings.RésuméContexteIl n’existe pas d’analyse robuste comparant les inhibiteurs P2Y12 à prise orale (clopidogrel, prasugrel et ticagrélor) chez les patients ayant subi un infarctus du myocarde avec élévation du segment ST (STEMI) traités par une intervention coronaire percutanée (ICP) primaire. Nous avons entrepris d’évaluer les rés...

Antiplatelet Effect of Different Loading Doses of Ticagrelor in Non-ST-Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients Undergoing PCI: The APELOT Trial
Conclusions Doubling the ticagrelor loading dose achieved faster onset and greater platelet inhibition without an increase in adverse events in patients with NSTE-ACS undergoing PCI.

Temporal changes in treatments and outcomes after acute myocardial infarction among cancer survivors and patients without cancer, 1995 to 2013
CONCLUSIONSAmong CS and NCP with AMI in Ontario, similar improvements in mortality and receipt of treatments were observed between 1995 and 2013. However, compared with NCP, CS had a higher risk of mortality and heart failure. Cancer 2017. © 2017 American Cancer Society.

Long term Follow-up of the Trial of Routine ANgioplasty and Stenting after Fibrinolysis to Enhance Reperfusion in Acute Myocardial Infarction (TRANSFER AMI)

The potential impact of new stent platforms for coronary revascularization in diabetics
Publication date: Available online 1 March 2018 Source:Canadian Journal of Cardiology Author(s): Gustavo S. Guandalini, Sripal Bangalore Coronary artery disease in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) is characterized by extensive atherosclerosis, longer lesions and diffuse distal disease. Consequently, these patients have worse outcomes following coronary revascularization, regardless of the modality employed. Traditionally, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has been regarded as more effective than percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with DM, owing likely to more complete revascularization and prote...

A multicenter trial of extracorporeal cardiac shock wave therapy for refractory angina pectoris: report of the highly advanced medical treatment in Japan
In this study, we further addressed the efficacy and safety of CSWT in a single-arm multicenter study approved as a highly advanced medical treatment by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. Fifty patients with refractory AP [mean age 70.9 ± 12.6 (SD) years, M/F 38/12] without the indications of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) were enrolled in 4 institutes in Japan. Ischemic myocardial regions in the left ventricle (LV) were identified by drug-induced stress myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). Shock waves (200 shots/spot at 0.09 mJ/mm2) were applied t...
