Prognostic value of angiographic microvascular resistance in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Angiographic Microvascular Resistance (AMR), derived from a solitary angiographic view, has emerged as a viable substitute for the Index of Microcirculatory Resistance (IMR). However, the prognostic significance in ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) patients is yet to be established. This research endeavors to explore the prognostic capabilities of AMR in patients diagnosed with STEMI.

Methods

In this single-center, retrospective study, 232 patients diagnosed with STEMI who received primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) were recruited from January 1, 2018, to June 30, 2022. Utilizing the maximally selected log-rank statistics analysis, participants were divided into two cohorts according to an AMR threshold of 2.55 mmHg*s/cm. The endpoint evaluated was a composite of all-cause mortality or hospital readmission due to heart failure.

Results

At a median follow-up of 1.74 (1.07, 3.65) years, the composite endpoint event was observed in 28 patients within the higher AMR group and 8 patients within the lower AMR group. The higher AMR group showed a significantly higher risk for composite outcome compared to those within the low-AMR group (HR_adj: 3.33; 95% CI 1.30‒8.52; p = 0.03). AMR ≥ 2.55 mmHg*s/cm was an independent predictor of the composite endpoint (HR = 2.33; 95% CI 1.04‒5.21; p = 0.04). Furthermore, a nomogram containing age, sex, left ventricle ejection fraction, post-PCI Quantitative Flow Ratio (QFR), and AMR was developed and indicated a poorer prognosis in the high-risk group for STEMI patients at 3 years. (HR=4.60; 95% CI 1.91‒11.07; p < 0.01).

Conclusions

AMR measured after PCI can predict the risk of all-cause death or readmission for heart failure in patients with STEMI. AMR-involved nomograms improved predictive performance over variables alone.

Project description:BackgroundThe success of coronary reperfusion therapy in ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (MI) is commonly limited by failure to restore microvascular perfusion.Methods and resultsWe performed a prospective cohort study in patients with reperfused ST-segment-elevation MI who underwent cardiac magnetic resonance 2 days (n=286) and 6 months (n=228) post MI. A serial imaging time-course study was also performed (n=30 participants; 4 cardiac magnetic resonance scans): 4 to 12 hours, 2 days, 10 days, and 7 months post reperfusion. Myocardial hemorrhage was taken to represent a hypointense infarct core with a T2* value of <20 ms. Microvascular obstruction was assessed with late gadolinium enhancement. Adverse remodeling was defined as an increase in left ventricular end-diastolic volume ≥20% at 6 months. Cardiovascular death or heart failure events post discharge were assessed during follow-up. Two hundred forty-five patients had evaluable T2* data (mean±age, 58 [11] years; 76% men). Myocardial hemorrhage 2 days post MI was associated with clinical characteristics indicative of MI severity and inflammation. Myocardial hemorrhage was a multivariable associate of adverse remodeling (odds ratio [95% confidence interval]: 2.64 [1.07-6.49]; P=0.035). Ten (4%) patients had a cardiovascular cause of death or experienced a heart failure event post discharge, and myocardial hemorrhage, but not microvascular obstruction, was associated with this composite adverse outcome (hazard ratio, 5.89; 95% confidence interval, 1.25-27.74; P=0.025), including after adjustment for baseline left ventricular end-diastolic volume. In the serial imaging time-course study, myocardial hemorrhage occurred in 7 (23%), 13 (43%), 11 (33%), and 4 (13%) patients 4 to 12 hours, 2 days, 10 days, and 7 months post reperfusion. The amount of hemorrhage (median [interquartile range], 7.0 [4.9-7.5]; % left ventricular mass) peaked on day 2 (P<0.001), whereas microvascular obstruction decreased with time post reperfusion.ConclusionsMyocardial hemorrhage and microvascular obstruction follow distinct time courses post ST-segment-elevation MI. Myocardial hemorrhage was more closely associated with adverse outcomes than microvascular obstruction.Clinical trial registrationURL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT02072850.

Project description:ObjectivesGlobal left ventricular (LV) function is routinely used to assess cardiac function; however, myocardial strain is able to identify more subtle dysfunction. We aimed to determine the recovery and prognostic value of featuring tracking (FT) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) strain in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients with a concurrent chronic total occlusion (CTO).MethodsIn the randomized EXPLORE trial, there was no significant difference in global LV function after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of the CTO, compared with no-CTO PCI, post-STEMI. In the current study, we included 200 of the 302 EXPLORE patients with a baseline CMR, of which 180 also had 4-month follow-up (serial) CMR. Global longitudinal strain (GLS) was calculated from 3 long-axis views. Global circumferential strain (GCS) and segmental strain were calculated from 3 short-axis views (basal, mid, and apical).ResultsGlobal strain significantly improved at 4 months (GLS ∆ - 1.8 ± 4.3%, p < 0.001; GCS ∆ - 1.7 ± 4.7%, p < 0.001); however, there was no treatment effect of CTO-PCI on strain recovery. GLS was a significant predictor for 4 months of LV ejection fraction (p = 0.006), incremental to other CMR parameters including infarct size. For mortality, infarct size remained the strongest predictor. On regional level, segmental strain independently predicted recovery in the dysfunctional segments (p < 0.001).ConclusionsGlobal and segmental myocardial strains significantly improved over time, with no effect of CTO-PCI. Global strain was associated with outcome and segmental strain was an independent predictor for regional LV recovery in the dysfunctional CTO territory. Further research is needed to determine the additional prognostic value of strain beyond routine CMR parameters.Key points• In STEMI patients with a concurrent CTO, strain significantly improves over time, regardless of CTO-PCI. • Global strain is an independent predictor for functional recovery, incremental to infarct size, LVEF, and clinical parameters. • Segmental strain was able to predict the recovery of wall thickening, incremental to transmural extent of infarction.
