Antecedent hypertension and myocardial injury in patients with reperfused ST-elevation myocardial infarction.

ABSTRACT: Antecedent hypertension is associated with poor outcome in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Whether differences in myocardial salvage, infarct size and microvascular injury contribute to the adverse outcome is unknown. We investigated the association between antecedent hypertension and cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) parameters of myocardial salvage and damage in a multicenter CMR substudy of the AIDA-STEMI trial (Abciximab Intracoronary versus intravenously Drug Application in ST-elevation myocardial infarction).We analyzed 792 consecutive STEMI patients reperfused within 12 h after symptom onset. Patients underwent CMR imaging for assessment of myocardial salvage, infarct size and microvascular obstruction within 10 days after infarction. Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) were recorded at 12-month follow-up.Antecedent hypertension was present in 540 patients (68 %) and was associated with a significantly increased baseline risk profile (advanced age, higher body mass index, higher incidence of diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, previous angioplasty and multivessel disease, p??0.05).Despite a higher rate of MACE in contemporary reperfused STEMI patients with antecedent hypertension, there was no difference in reperfusion efficacy, infarct size and reperfusion injury as visualized by CMR.NCT00712101 .

Project description:Current evidence regarding the effect of intravenous morphine administration on reperfusion injury and/or cardioprotection in patients with myocardial infarction is conflicting. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of morphine administration, on infarct size and reperfusion injury assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) in a large multicenter ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) population. In total, 734 STEMI patients reperfused by primary percutaneous coronary intervention <12 h after symptom onset underwent CMR imaging at eight centers for assessment of myocardial damage. Intravenous morphine administration was recorded in all patients. CMR was completed within one week after infarction using a standardized protocol. The clinical endpoint of the study was the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) within 12 months after infarction. Intravenous morphine was administered in 61.8% (n = 454) of all patients. There were no differences in infarct size (17%LV, interquartile range [IQR] 8-25%LV versus 16%LV, IQR 8-26%LV, p = 0.67) and microvascular obstruction (p = 0.92) in patients with versus without morphine administration. In the subgroup of patients with early reperfusion within 120 min and reduced flow of the infarcted vessel (TIMI-flow ?2 before PCI) morphine administration resulted in significantly smaller infarcts (12%LV, IQR 12-19 versus 19%LV, IQR 10-29, p = 0.035) and reduced microvascular obstruction (p = 0.003). Morphine administration had no effect on hard clinical endpoints (log-rank test p = 0.74) and was not an independent predictor of clinical outcome in Cox regression analysis. In our large multicenter CMR study, morphine administration did not have a negative effect on myocardial damage or clinical prognosis in acute reperfused STEMI. In patients, presenting early ( ?120 min) morphine may have a cardioprotective effect as reflected by smaller infarcts; but this finding has to be assessed in further well-designed clinical studies.

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:BackgroundData on the association between obesity and acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are sparse and inconclusive. We aimed to evaluate the association between obesity and AKI and the outcome in these patients.MethodsA retrospective observational study of 3979 STEMI patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was performed at a single center. Patients with and without AKI were compared. Patients were also divided into three categories according to BMI, and these were compared. All-cause mortality was determined at 30 days and over a median period of 7.0 years.ResultsThe incidence of AKI was similar in all BMI categories. There was no association between BMI categories and AKI (p = 0.089). The Spearman correlation coefficient between BMI categories and AKI showed no correlation (r = -0.005; p = 0.75). More AKI patients died within 30 days and in the long term [137 (18.5%) and 283 (38.1%) patients in the AKI group died compared to 118 (3.6%) and 767 (23.1%) in the non-AKI group; p < 0.0001]. AKI was harmful in all BMI categories (p < 0.0001) and was associated with more than a 2.5-fold and a 1.5-fold multivariable-adjusted 30-day and long-term mortality risk, respectively (aOR 2.59; 95% CI 1.84-3.64; p < 0.0001, aHR 1.54; 95% CI 1.32-1.80; p < 0.0001). BMI categories were not associated with 30-day mortality (p = 0.26) but were associated with long-term mortality (p < 0.0001). Overweight and obese patients had an approximately 25% lower long-term multivariable-adjusted risk of death than normal-weight patients. In patients with AKI, BMI was only associated with long-term risk (p = 0.022). Obesity had an additional beneficial effect in these patients, and only patients with obesity, but not overweight patients, had a lower multivariable adjusted long-term mortality risk than normal-weight patients (aHR 062; 95% CI 0.446-0.88 p = 0.007).ConclusionsIn patients who experienced AKI, obesity had an additional positive modifying effect. Our data suggest that the incidence of AKI in STEMI patients is not BMI-dependent.

Project description:ImportanceMyocardial tissue injury due to acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) initiates an inflammatory response that leads to a release of systemic inflammatory biomarkers, including C-reactive protein (CRP) and white blood cells, consequently reducing the usefulness of these routine biomarkers for identifying concomitant infections. The clinical role of procalcitonin (PCT), a promising marker of bacterial infection, to detect concomitant infection in acute STEMI is unknown, mainly because it is unclear whether myocardial injury per se induces systemic PCT release.ObjectiveTo investigate the release of serum PCT in the acute setting of STEMI (24 and 48 hours after primary percutaneous coronary intervention) and to elucidate any associations with myocardial injury markers through a comprehensive assessment by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging.Design, setting, and participantsThis prospective cohort study conducted between 2016 and 2018 included 141 consecutive patients with STEMI treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Concentrations of PCT, high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP), and high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) and white blood cell counts were measured serially 24 and 48 hours after infarct.ExposuresAcute STEMI and primary percutaneous coronary intervention.Main outcomes and measuresThe association of PCT and typical inflammatory marker levels with CMR-determined myocardial damage was assessed. Infarct size, extent of microvascular obstruction, and occurrence of intramyocardial hemorrhage as determined by CMR within the first week following STEMI were also evaluated.ResultsIn total, 141 patients with STEMI (117 men [83%]) having a median age of 56 years (interquartile range, 50-66 years) were included. The median PCT concentration was 0.07 μg/L (interquartile range, <0.06-0.11 μg/L) 24 hours after intervention and 0.07 μg/L (interquartile range, <0.06-0.09 μg/L) 48 hours after intervention. Whereas hs-CRP and hs-cTnT levels and white blood cell counts were significantly correlated with CMR markers of myocardial damage at both 24 and 48 hours after intervention, the PCT level showed no significant correlation with infarct size (at 24 hours: r = 0.07; P = .40; at 48 hours: r = 0.13; P = .12) or with microvascular obstruction (at 24 hours: r = -0.03; P = .75; at 48 hours: r = 0.09; P = .30). Furthermore, PCT levels at 24 hours (odds ratio, 1.25; 95% CI, 0.63-2.48; P = .52) and 48 hours (odds ratio, 1.56; 95% CI, 0.72-3.41; P = .26) were not significantly associated with the presence of intramyocardial hemorrhage.Conclusions and relevanceIn the acute phase after percutaneous coronary intervention for STEMI, circulating PCT levels remained unassociated with the extent of myocardial and microvascular tissue damage as visualized by CMR imaging.
