Differences by HIV serostatus in coronary artery disease severity and likelihood of percutaneous coronary intervention following stress testing.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:HIV-infected persons develop coronary artery disease (CAD) more commonly and earlier than uninfected persons; however, the role of non-invasive testing to stratify CAD risk in HIV is not well defined. METHODS AND RESULTS:Patients were selected from a single-center electronic cohort of HIV-infected patients and uninfected controls matched 1:2 on age, sex, race, and type of cardiovascular testing performed. Patients with abnormal echocardiographic or nuclear stress testing who subsequently underwent coronary angiography were included. Logistic regressions were used to assess differences by HIV serostatus in two co-primary endpoints: (1) severe CAD (?70% stenosis of at least one coronary artery) and (2) performance of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). HIV-infected patients (N = 189) were significantly more likely to undergo PCI following abnormal stress test when compared with uninfected persons (N = 319) after adjustment for demographics, CAD risk factors, previous coronary intervention, and stress test type (OR 1.85, 95% CI 1.12-3.04, P = 0.003). No associations between HIV serostatus and CAD were statistically significant, although there was a non-significant trend toward greater CAD for HIV-infected patients. CONCLUSIONS:HIV-infected patients with abnormal cardiovascular stress testing who underwent subsequent coronary angiography did not have a significantly greater CAD burden than uninfected controls, but were significantly more likely to receive PCI.

Project description:BackgroundCoronary artery disease (CAD) is a global problem with increasing incidence in Asia. Prior studies reported inter-ethnic differences in the prevalence of CAD rather than the severity of CAD. The angiographic "synergy between percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with taxus and cardiac surgery" (SYNTAX) score quantifies CAD severity and predicts outcomes. We studied CAD severity and all-cause mortality in four globally populous ethnic groups: Caucasians, Chinese, Indians and Malays.MethodsWe quantified SYNTAX scores of 1,000 multi-ethnic patients undergoing PCI in two tertiary hospitals in the Netherlands (Caucasians) and Singapore (Chinese, Indians and Malays). Within each ethnicity we studied 150 patients with stable CAD and 100 with ST-elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI). We made inter-ethnic comparisons of SYNTAX scores and all-cause mortality.ResultsDespite having a younger age (mean age Indians: 56.8 and Malays: 57.7 vs. Caucasians: 63.7 years), multivariable adjusted SYNTAX scores were significantly higher in Indians and Malays than Caucasians with stable CAD: 13.4 [11.9-14.9] and 13.4 [12.0-14.8] vs. 9.4 [8.1-10.8], p<0.001. Among STEMI patients, SYNTAX scores were highest in Chinese and Malays: 17.7 [15.9-19.5] and 18.8 [17.1-20.6] vs. 15.5 [13.5-17.4] and 12.7 [10.9-14.6] in Indians and Caucasians, p<0.001. Over a median follow-up of 709 days, 67 deaths (stable CAD: 37, STEMI: 30) occurred. Among STEMI patients, the SYNTAX score independently predicted all-cause mortality: HR 2.5 [1.7-3.8], p<0.001 for every 10-point increase. All-cause mortality was higher in Indian and Malay STEMI patients than Caucasians, independent of SYNTAX score (adjusted HR 7.2 [1.5-34.7], p=0.01 and 5.8 [1.2-27.2], p=0.02).ConclusionAmong stable CAD and STEMI patients requiring PCI, CAD is more severe in Indians and Malays than in Caucasians, despite having a younger age. Moreover, Indian and Malay STEMI patients had a greater adjusted risk of all-cause mortality than Caucasians, independent of SYNTAX score.

Project description:ObjectivesWe assessed differences in risk profile and 3-year outcome between patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for premature and non-premature coronary artery disease (CAD).BackgroundThe prevalence of CAD increases with age, yet some individuals develop obstructive CAD at younger age.MethodsAmong participants in four randomized all-comers PCI trials, without previous coronary revascularization or myocardial infarction (MI), we compared patients with premature (men <50 years; women <55 years) and non-premature CAD. Various clinical endpoints were assessed, including multivariate analyses.ResultsOf 6,171 patients, 887 (14.4%) suffered from premature CAD. These patients had fewer risk factors than patients with non-premature CAD, but were more often smokers (60.7% vs. 26.4%) and overweight (76.2% vs. 69.8%). In addition, premature CAD patients presented more often with ST-segment elevation MI and underwent less often treatment of multiple vessels, and calcified or bifurcated lesions. Furthermore, premature CAD patients had a lower all-cause mortality risk (adj.HR: 0.23, 95%-CI: 0.10-0.52; p < 0.001), but target vessel revascularization (adj.HR: 1.63, 95%-CI: 1.18-2.26; p = 0.003) and definite stent thrombosis risks (adj.HR: 2.24, 95%-CI: 1.06-4.72; p = 0.034) were higher. MACE rates showed no statistically significant difference (6.6% vs. 9.4%; adj.HR: 0.86, 95%-CI: 0.65-1.16; p = 0.33).ConclusionsAbout one out of seven PCI patients was treated for premature CAD. These patients had less complex risk profiles than patients with non-premature CAD; yet, their risk of repeated revascularization and stent thrombosis was higher. As lifetime event risk of patients with premature CAD is known to be particularly high, further efforts should be made to improve modifiable risk factors such as smoking and overweight.Twente trials(TWENTE I, clinicaltrials.gov: NCT01066650), DUTCH PEERS (TWENTE II, NCT01331707), BIO-RESORT (TWENTE III, NCT01674803), and BIONYX (TWENTE IV, NCT02508714).

Project description:BackgroundFibrinogen is a potential risk factor for the prognosis of CAD and is associated with the complexity of CAD. There is limited research specifically investigating the predictive role of fibrinogen in determining the severity of CAD among patients with T2DM, as well as its impact on the prognosis following PCI.MethodsThe study included 675 T2DM patients who underwent PCI at the Third People's Hospital of Chengdu between April 27, 2018, and February 5, 2021, with 540 of them remaining after exclusions. The complexity of CAD was assessed using the SYNTAX score. The primary endpoint of the study was the incidence of MACCEs.ResultsAfter adjusting for multiple confounding factors, fibrinogen remained a significant independent risk factor for mid/high SYNTAX scores (SYNTAX score > 22, OR 1.184, 95% CI 1.022-1.373, P = 0.025). Additionally, a dose-response relationship between fibrinogen and the risk of complicated CAD was observed (SYNTAX score > 22; nonlinear P = 0.0043). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUROC) of fibrinogen for predicting mid/high SYNTAX score was 0.610 (95% CI 0.567-0.651, P = 0.0002). The high fibrinogen group (fibrinogen > 3.79 g/L) had a higher incidence of calcified lesions and an elevated trend of more multivessel disease and chronic total occlusion. A total of 116 patients (21.5%) experienced MACCEs during the median follow-up time of 18.5 months. After adjustment, multivariate Cox regression analysis confirmed that fibrinogen (HR, 1.138; 95% CI 1.010-1.284, P = 0.034) remained a significant independent risk factor for MACCEs. The AUROC of fibrinogen for predicting MACCEs was 0.609 (95% CI 0.566-0.650, P = 0.0002). Individuals with high fibrinogen levels (fibrinogen > 4.28 g/L) had a higher incidence of acute myocardial infarction (P < 0.001), MACCEs (P < 0.001), all-cause death (P < 0.001), stroke (P = 0.030), and cardiac death (P = 0.002). Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed a higher incidence of MACCEs in the high fibrinogen group (Log-Rank test: P < 0.001).ConclusionsElevated fibrinogen levels were associated with increased coronary anatomical complexity (as quantified by the SYNTAX score) and a higher incidence of MACCEs after PCI in patients with T2DM.
