Chronic Kidney Disease Has a Graded Association with Death and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Stable Coronary Artery Disease: An Analysis of 21,911 Patients from the CLARIFY Registry.

ABSTRACT: : Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with an increased cardiovascular risk in a broad spectrum of populations. However, the risk associated with a reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in patients with stable coronary artery disease receiving standard care in the modern era, independently of baseline cardiovascular disease, risk factors, and comorbidities, remains unclear. We analyzed data from 21,911 patients with stable coronary artery disease, enrolled in 45 countries between November 2009 and July 2010 in the CLARIFY registry. Patients with abnormal renal function were older, with more comorbidities, and received slightly lower-although overall high-rates of evidence-based secondary prevention therapies than patients with normal renal function. The event rate of patients with CKD stage 3b or more (eGFR <45 mL/min/1.73 m2) was much higher than that associated with any comorbid condition. In a multivariable adjusted Cox proportional hazards model, lower eGFR was independently associated with a graded increased risk of cardiovascular mortality, with adjusted HRs (95% CI) of 0.98 (0.81-1.18), 1.31 (1.05-1.63), 1.77 (1.38-2.27), and 3.12 (2.25-4.33) for eGFR 60-89, 45-59, 30-44, and <30 mL/min/1.73 m2, compared with eGFR ?90 mL/min/1.73 m2. A strong graded independent relationship exists between the degree of CKD and cardiovascular mortality in this large cohort of patients with chronic coronary artery disease, despite high rates of secondary prevention therapies. Among clinical risk factors and comorbid conditions, CKD stage 3b or more is associated with the highest cardiovascular mortality.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Despite major advances in prevention and treatment, coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the leading cause of death worldwide. Whereas many sources of data are available on the epidemiology of acute coronary syndromes, fewer datasets reflect the contemporary management and outcomes of stable CAD patients. HYPOTHESIS:A worldwide contemporary registry would improve our knowledge about stable CAD. The main objectives are to describe the demographics, clinical profile, contemporary management and outcomes of outpatients with stable CAD; to identify gaps between evidence and treatment; and to investigate long-term prognostic determinants. METHODS:CLARIFY (ProspeCtive observational LongitudinAl RegIstry oF patients with stable coronary arterY disease) is an ongoing international observational longitudinal registry. Stable CAD patients from 45 countries in Europe, Asia, America, Middle East, Australia and Africa were enrolled between November 2009 and June 2010. The inclusion criteria were previous myocardial infarction, evidence of coronary stenosis >50%, proven symptomatic myocardial ischemia or prior revascularization procedure. The main exclusion criteria were serious non-cardiovascular disease, conditions interfering with life expectancy or severe other cardiovascular disease (including advanced heart failure). Follow-up visits were planned annually for up to 5 years, interspersed with 6-month telephone calls. RESULTS:Of the 32,703 patients enrolled, most (77.6%) were male, age (mean ± SD) was 64.2 ± 10.5 years, and 71.0% were receiving treatment for hypertension; mean ± SD resting heart rate was 68.2 ± 10.6 bpm. Patients were enrolled based on a history of myocardial infarction >3 months earlier (57.7%), having at least one stenosis >50% on coronary angiography (61.1%), proven symptomatic myocardial ischemia on non-invasive testing (23.1%), or history of percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass graft (69.8%). Baseline characteristics were similar across the four subgroups identified by the four inclusion criteria. CONCLUSION:CLARIFY will provide a useful resource for understanding the current epidemiology of stable CAD.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The population of patients with established coronary artery disease (CAD) is growing because of an improvement in outcomes and survival from acute disease episodes. Nevertheless, these patients remain at high risk of cardiovascular events. Thus, CAD management is important in prevention of disease progression. The objective of this analysis was to describe disease management and clinical outcome of Austrian outpatients with stable CAD over 5 years by using data from the international CLARIFY registry. METHODS:CLARIFY was an international prospective observational registry of outpatients with stable CAD, defined as prior myocardial infarction or revascularization (CABG or PCI), coronary stenosis of more than 50% by coronary angiography or chest pain with myocardial ischemia. We analyzed demographic characteristics, risk factors, treatments and clinical outcomes of 424 Austrian outpatients with established CAD who were enrolled between November 2009 and July 2010 and observed until September 2015. RESULTS:The primary risk factors in Austrian outpatients with stable CAD were smoking (current smokers: 13.2%), overweight (77.1%), hypertension (78.5%), raised low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol plasma levels (81.4% ? 0.7?g/l or 1.8?mmol/l), elevated heart rate (?70?bpm: 60.9% in patients with anginal symptoms) and poor physical activity (none or light activity: 63.4%). Patients received lipid-lowering drugs (predominantly statins), aspirin, beta-blockers and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors according to current recommendations. After 5 years a systolic blood pressure (SBP) < 140?mm?Hg and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) < 90?mm?Hg was reached in 58.5% of patients. Of the patients 70.4% had LDL cholesterol plasma levels below 1.0?g/l (2.6?mmol/l), 42.1% of smokers had stopped smoking, 42.9% of patients with anginal symptoms had a heart rate ?60?bpm and 26.0% of diabetic patients had brought their HbA1c levels below 6.5%. Cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction or stroke occurred in 30 patients (7.1%), all-cause death in 25 cases (5.9%) and cardiovascular death in 15 cases (3.5%). Myocardial infarction was reported in 14 patients (fatal and non-fatal: 3.3%) and stroke in 8 patients (fatal and non-fatal: 1.9%), 39 patients (9.2%) underwent myocardial revascularization and 124 patients (29.2%) experienced cardiovascular hospitalization. CONCLUSION:Characteristics of Austrian outpatients with stable CAD corresponded to those of patients with CAD in other developed countries. Medical treatments following the recommendations of the European guidelines were prescribed in the majority of patients; however, recommended goals of life style interventions including a heart rate less than 60?bpm and general risk factor management were not achieved by a high proportion of patients. Heart rate control and life style changes remain unmet needs of cardiovascular care in Austria.

Project description:ImportanceCoronary artery calcification (CAC) is highly prevalent in dialysis-naive patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, there are sparse data on the association of CAC with subsequent risk of cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality in this population.ObjectiveTo study the prospective association of CAC with risk of cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality among dialysis-naive patients with CKD.Design, setting, and participantsThe prospective Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort study recruited adults with an estimated glomerular filtration rate of 20 to 70 mL/min/1.73 m2 from 7 clinical centers in the United States. There were 1541 participants without cardiovascular disease at baseline who had CAC scores.ExposuresCoronary artery calcification was assessed using electron-beam or multidetector computed tomography.Main outcomes and measuresIncidence of cardiovascular disease (including myocardial infarction, heart failure, and stroke) and all-cause mortality were reported every 6 months and confirmed by medical record adjudication.ResultsDuring an average follow-up of 5.9 years in 1541 participants aged 21 to 74 years, there were 188 cardiovascular disease events (60 cases of myocardial infarction, 120 heart failures, and 27 strokes; patients may have had >1 event) and 137 all-cause deaths. In Cox proportional hazards models adjusted for age, sex, race, clinical site, education level, physical activity, total cholesterol level, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level, systolic blood pressure, use of antihypertensive treatment, current cigarette smoking, diabetes status, body mass index, C-reactive protein level, hemoglobin A1c level, phosphorus level, troponin T level, log N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide level, fibroblast growth factor 23 level, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and proteinuria, the hazard ratios associated with per 1 SD log of CAC were 1.40 (95% CI, 1.16-1.69; P < .001) for cardiovascular disease, 1.44 (95% CI, 1.02-2.02; P = .04) for myocardial infarction, 1.39 (95% CI, 1.10-1.76; P = .006) for heart failure, and 1.19 (95% CI, 0.94-1.51; P = .15) for all-cause mortality. In addition, inclusion of CAC score led to an increase in the C statistic of 0.02 (95% CI, 0-0.09; P < .001) for predicting cardiovascular disease over use of all the above-mentioned established and novel cardiovascular disease risk factors.Conclusions and relevanceCoronary artery calcification is independently and significantly related to the risks of cardiovascular disease, myocardial infarction, and heart failure in patients with CKD. In addition, CAC improves risk prediction for cardiovascular disease, myocardial infarction, and heart failure over use of established and novel cardiovascular disease risk factors among patients with CKD; however, the changes in the C statistic are small.
