Temporal trends and inequalities in coronary angiography utilization in the management of non-ST-Elevation acute coronary syndromes in the U.S.

ABSTRACT: Coronary angiography (CA) is the basis of an invasive management strategy in non-ST elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTEACS). There are limited contemporary data on national temporal trends in utilization of CA in different patient subgroups. We sought to investigate temporal trends, predictors and clinical outcomes associated with the use of CA in the US. Using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) from 2004-2014, we identified all inpatient admissions, age ?18, with a primary diagnosis of NSTEACS. Descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic regression models were used to investigate temporal trends, predictors and clinical outcomes associated with CA. From a total of 4,380,827 patients, 57.5% received CA during the study period and were more likely to be male, younger and less comorbid as defined per Charlson comorbidity index. The proportion of patients receiving CA increased from 48.5% to 68.5%, however, higher proportional increase was observed in males (53.9% to 69.4% P_trend?trend?

Project description:BACKGROUND:T-wave abnormalities are common during the acute phase of non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes, but mechanisms underlying their occurrence are unclear. We hypothesized that T-wave abnormalities in the presentation of non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes correspond to the presence of myocardial edema. METHODS AND RESULTS:Secondary analysis of a previously enrolled prospective cohort of patients presenting with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes was conducted. Twelve-lead electrocardiography (ECG) and cardiac magnetic resonance with T2-weighted imaging were acquired before invasive coronary angiography. ECGs were classified dichotomously (ie, ischemic versus normal/nonischemic) and nominally according to patterns of presentation: no ST- or T-wave abnormalities, isolated T-wave abnormality, isolated ST depression, ST depression+T-wave abnormality. Myocardial edema was determined by expert review of T2-weighted images. Of 86 subjects (65% male, 59.4 years), 36 showed normal/nonischemic ECG, 25 isolated T-wave abnormalities, 11 isolated ST depression, and 14 ST depression+T-wave abnormality. Of 30 edema-negative subjects, 24 (80%) had normal/nonischemic ECGs. Isolated T-wave abnormality was significantly more prevalent in edema-positive versus edema-negative subjects (41.1% versus 6.7%, P=0.001). By multivariate analysis, an ischemic ECG showed a strong association with myocardial edema (odds ratio 12.23, 95% confidence interval 3.65-40.94, P<0.0001). Among individual ECG profiles, isolated T-wave abnormality was the single strongest predictor of myocardial edema (odds ratio 23.84, 95% confidence interval 4.30-132, P<0.0001). Isolated T-wave abnormality was highly specific (93%) but insensitive (43%) for detecting myocardial edema. CONCLUSIONS:T-wave abnormalities in the setting of non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes are related to the presence of myocardial edema. High specificity of this ECG alteration identifies a change in ischemic myocardium associated with worse outcomes that is potentially reversible.
