Prediction of 1-year clinical outcomes using the SYNTAX score in patients with prior heart failure undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: sub-analysis of the SHINANO registry
AbstractAlthough coronary artery disease (CAD) is common in patients with heart failure (HF), little is known about the prognostic significance of coronary lesion complexity in patients with prior HF undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The aim of this study was to investigate whether the coronary Synergy between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with TAXus and Cardiac Surgery (SYNTAX) score could improve risk stratification in HF patients with CAD. Two hundred patients (mean age 73  ± 11 years, left ventricular ejection fraction 49 ± 15 %) with prior HF who underwent PCI were divided into two grou...

Comparison of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Versus Coronary Artery Bypass Graft in Aged Patients With Unprotected Left Main Artery Lesions.
This study compared the outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) versus coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) in this population.A total of 126 patients older than 60 years of age with LM lesions who underwent revascularization in our hospital from January 2012 to December 2013 were followed up for an average of 15.2 months. The cumulative incidence of major adverse cardiac and cerebral events (MACCE) was estimated by Kaplan-Meier plots. During follow-up, the CABG group had higher proportions of cardiac death, stroke, and worsening of heart failure while the PCI group had a higher proportion of recurrence of angi...

Survival Benefits of Invasive Versus Conservative Strategies in Heart Failure in Patients With Reduced Ejection Fraction and Coronary Artery Disease: A Meta-Analysis Original Articles
Conclusions— The present meta-analysis indicates that revascularization strategies are superior to medical treatment in improving survival in patients with ischemic heart disease and reduced ejection fraction. Between the 2 revascularization strategies, CABG seems more favorable compared with PCI in this particular clinical setting.

Subclinical markers of cardiovascular disease predict adverse outcomes in chronic kidney disease patients with normal left ventricular ejection fraction
AbstractEmerging cardiovascular biomarkers, such as speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) and aortic pulse wave velocity (aPWV), have recently demonstrated the presence of subclinical left ventricular dysfunction and arterial stiffening in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and no previous cardiovascular history. However, limited information exists on the prognostic impact of these biomarkers. We aimed to investigate whether STE and aPWV predict major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in this patient population. In this cohort study we prospectively analysed 106 CKD patients with no overt cardiovascular disease (CVD)...

Effects of recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide on the prognosis of patients with acute anterior myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention: a prospective, multi-center, randomized clinical trial.
CONCLUSIONS: Early intravenous rhBNP administration after PCI significantly lowered the serum concentrations of cTnT and NT-proBNP, increased LVEDd, SV and LVEF, and reduced MACEs, including cardiac death, in patients with acute anterior MI undergoing PCI. PMID: 28203406 [PubMed - in process]

Abstract 236: Coronary Artery Procedures in the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory After Overnight Call: Are Patients at Higher Risk? Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusion: There were greater procedural complications when performed post-call compared to no post-call; however, when adjusting for significant baseline variables, there was no significant difference seen between groups. Taking into consideration factors that contributed to procedural complications most likely will improve patient outcomes.

Current Use of Oral Anticoagulants and Prognostic Analysis in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation Undergoing Coronary Stenting.
CONCLUSIONS: In real-life AF patients undergoing coronary stenting, guideline-recommended VKA was less used. AF patients had adjusted worse prognosis during 12-month follow-up after discharge. It is of utmost importance to improve the current status of oral anticoagulants use. PMID: 28584203 [PubMed - in process]

Differential Event Rates and Independent Predictors of Long-Term Major Cardiovascular Events and Death in 5795 Patients With Unprotected Left Main Coronary Artery Disease Treated With Stents, Bypass Surgery, or Medication: Insights From a Large International Multicenter Registry Coronary Artery Disease
Conclusions— Among patients with unprotected left main coronary artery disease, the key clinical predictors for MACCE and death were generally similar regardless of index treatment. This study provides effect estimates for clinically relevant predictors of long-term clinical outcomes in real-world left main coronary artery patients, providing possible guidance for tailored preventive strategies.

Does Treatment of Impaired Glucose Tolerance Improve Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients with Previous Myocardial Infarction?
ConclusionAlthough voglibose effectively treated IGT, no additional benefits for cardiovascular events in patients with previous MI and IGT were observed. Voglibose may not be a contributing therapy to the secondary prevention in patients with MI and IGT.Trial RegistrationClinicaltrials.gov number: NCT00212017

Prognostic value of brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity in patients with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction
Conclusion: Our findings indicate that baPWV was a strong independent prognostic factor of MACE in patients with NSTEMI. This suggests that baPWV can be a useful prognostic factor in the clinical setting for easier and less invasive prediction of MACE in patients with NSTEMI.

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 outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a 13-year nationwide cohort study
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with increased risk of coronary atherosclerosis. However, its impact on the long-term outcomes in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has not been described. Using the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan, we identified 215275 adult patients who underwent first-time PCI between 2000 and 2012. Among them, the outcomes of patients with COPD (n = 24900) and without COPD (n = 190375) were compared. Baseline demographics and 13-year overall mortality and adverse cardiac outcomes after PCI (i.e., ischemic events, repeat revascula...

Immediate complete revascularization in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and multivessel disease treated by primary percutaneous coronary intervention: Insights from the ORBI registry.
CONCLUSION: Immediate CR did not improve in-hospital outcomes of patients with STEMI with multivessel disease in this analysis. Randomized studies are warranted to elucidate the optimal timing of CR in patients with STEMI. PMID: 29229216 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
