Serum sclerostin and adverse outcomes in elderly patients with stable coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Recently, sclerostin, a bone-derived protein, has been shown to play a key role in atherosclerosis progression. However, few studies have investigated the influence of sclerostin on cardiovascular disease prognosis. We investigated the relationship between serum sclerostin levels and adverse outcomes in elderly patients with stable coronary artery disease (SCAD) who were undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS:We enrolled 310 elderly SCAD patients who underwent PCI in this study and followed them 3 years. According to the median serum sclerostin levels, subjects were stratified into a low sclerostin (low scl) group (n = 144) and a high sclerostin (high scl) group (n = 166). Time-to-event analyses were performed with the Kaplan-Meier method. Associations between sclerostin levels and main adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) and mortality were evaluated by Cox multivariate regression analysis. The prognostic power of predictive models was verified by the concordance index and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. RESULTS:The high scl group had a significantly higher MACCE-free rate and better survival than the low scl group. Serum sclerostin was an independent predictor and could improve the prognostic power for adverse outcomes. In addition, serum sclerostin levels were significantly associated with bone turnover markers, a lower presence of multivessel disease and a lower CCS angina class. CONCLUSIONS:Serum sclerostin is a prognostic parameter for predicting and intervening in the adverse outcomes of elderly SCAD patients undergoing PCI, which may be explained by its potential role in the bone-vascular axis.

Project description:There are few reports on the long-term clinical outcome after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) complicated with frailty. This novel study investigated the association between pre-PCI frailty and long-term clinical outcomes in elderly patients aged 65 years or older with stable CAD who underwent elective PCI. We assessed 239 consecutive patients aged 65 years or older with stable CAD who underwent successful elective PCI at Kagoshima City Hospital between January 1st, 2017 and December 31st, 2020. Frailty was retrospectively assessed using the Canadian Study and Aging Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS). Based on the pre-PCI CFS, patients were divided into two groups: the non-frail (CFS < 5) and the frail (CFS ≥ 5) group. We investigated the association between pre-PCI CFS and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) defined as the composite of all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, and heart failure requiring hospitalization. Additionally, we assessed the association between pre-PCI CFS and major bleeding events defined as Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) type 3 or 5 bleeding. The mean age was 74.8 ± 7.0 years, and 73.6% were men. According to the pre-PCI frailty assessment, 38 (15.9%) and 201 (84.1%) were classified as frail and non-frail groups, respectively. During a median follow-up of 962 (607-1284) days, 46 patients developed MACEs and 10 patients developed major bleeding events. Kaplan-Meier curves showed a significantly higher incidence of MACE in the frail group compared to those in the non-frail group (Log-rank p < 0.001). Even in multivariate analysis, pre-PCI frailty (CFS ≥ 5) was independently associated with MACE (HR 4.27, 95% CI 1.86-9.80, p-value: < 0.001). Additionally, the cumulative incidence of major bleeding events was significantly higher in the frail group than in the non-frail group (Log-rank p = 0.001). Pre-PCI frailty was an independent risk factor for MACE and bleeding events in elderly patients with stable CAD who underwent elective PCI.

Project description:BackgroundNeurotensin is involved in fatty acid and glucose metabolism and promotes the development of obesity and diabetes. These associations appear to be more pronounced in women. We investigated the association of neurotensin with long-term major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).MethodsWe included 452 consecutive patients [144 (31.9%) females] undergoing PCI for ACS or CCS. Plasma samples drawn after PCI were analyzed for neurotensin with an enzyme-linked immunoassay. As primary endpoint, a composite of MACE including all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction and non-fatal stroke during 7 years of follow-up was investigated. As secondary endpoint, we investigated all-cause death.ResultsNeurotensin levels did not differ between male and female patients (p = 0.560). MACE occurred in 150 (33.2%) patients. Restricted cubic splines demonstrated a U-shaped association of log-transformed neurotensin with the primary and secondary endpoint. Therefore, we dichotomized our cohort according to tertiles of log-transformed neurotensin. In Kaplan-Meier analysis including the total cohort and restricted to male patients log- neurotensin tertiles were not associated with MACE (both p > 0.05). Moreover, in the overall cohort and in male patients multivariable Cox regression analysis log-neurotensin tertiles were not associated with MACE or with all-cause death (all p > 0.05). However, in female patients log-neurotensin was associated with MACE in Kaplan-Meier analysis (log-rank p = 0.013). Also, after multivariable adjustment female patients in the first tertile had a significantly increased risk for MACE compared to female patients in the second tertile [HR 3.84 (95% CI 1.71-8.60), p = 0.001]. There was tendency for increased risk in female patients in the third tertile compared to the second tertile [HR 2.14 (95% CI 0.97-4.73), p = 0.058]. Moreover, in female patients the [first and the third tertile of log- neurotensin were associated with all-cause death 1s vs. 2nd tertile: HR 3.03 (95% CI 1.21-7.63), p = 0.018; 3rd vs. 2nd tertile: HR 3.01 (95% CI 1.22-7.44), p = 0.016].ConclusionIn female patients with CAD undergoing PCI, neurotensin has a U-shaped relationship with adverse outcomes. These data suggest a sex specific association between neurotensin and long-term adverse events after PCI.

Project description:PurposeMalnutrition has been shown to be related to adverse clinical outcomes in patients with heart failure, hypertension, atrial fibrillation and other cardiovascular diseases. However, in the patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), especially in the elderly, the association of nutritional state and all-cause mortality remains unknown. We aimed to investigate the association of malnutrition with all-cause mortality in the elder patients undergoing PCI.Patients and methodsBased on the largest retrospective and observational cohort study from January 2007 to December 2017, the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score was applied to 21,479 consecutive patients with age ≥60 who undergoing PCI for nutritional assessment. Participants were classified as absent, mild, moderate and severe malnutrition by CONUT score. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to compare all-cause mortality among the above four groups. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression analyses were performed to examine the association of malnutrition with all-cause mortality.ResultsAccording to the CONUT score, 48.19%, 15.08% and 0.94% patients were mildly, moderately and severely malnourished, respectively. During a median follow-up of 5.16 years (interquartile range: 3.02 to 7.89 years), 3173 (14.77%) patients died. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the risk of all-cause mortality was significantly higher in patients with a worse nutritional status. Compared with normal nutritional state, malnutrition was associated with significantly increased risk for all-cause mortality (adjusted hazard ratio for mild, moderate and severe degrees of malnutrition, respectively: 1.20 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.09 to 1.33], 1.32 [95% CI: 1.17 to 1.49] and 1.76 [95% CI: 1.33 to 2.33]).ConclusionMalnutrition is prevalent among elderly patients with CAD undergoing PCI, and is strongly related to the all-cause mortality increasing. For elderly patients with CAD undergoing PCI, it is necessary to assess the status of nutrition, and evaluate the efficacy of nutritional interventions.

Project description:Background: Evidence on factors associated with guideline-directed secondary prevention medication (GDPM) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and its effect on the prognosis of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) is lacking in China. Aims: To ascertain predictors of GDPM in real-world clinical practice and to assess the effect of GDPM on clinical outcomes. Design: A retrospective cohort study. Methods: Consecutive patients admitted to Fuwai Hospital between January 2013 and December 2013 were recruited. GDPM comprised aspirin, clopidogrel, statins, β-blockers, and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin Ⅱ receptor blockers. The primary outcome was five-year major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) (cardiac death, myocardial infarction [MI] and unplanned revascularization). Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify predictors of prescribing GDPM. Multivariable Cox regression was used to examine the relationship between GDPM and clinical outcomes. Results: 10,067 patients were followed up for a median of 5.0 years (interquartile range: 4.3–5.2), 45.1% were prescribed with GDPM. Presenting with ST-segment elevation MI (adjusted OR = 3.252 [2.832–3.736]), prior MI (adjusted OR = 2.174 [1.948–2.425]), more stents implanted (adjusted OR = 1.063 [1.022–1.106]), overweight (adjusted OR = 1.136 [1.038–1.243]), obesity (adjusted OR = 1.274 [1.100–1.476]), diabetes (adjusted OR = 1.225 [1.115–1.344]), and hypertension (adjusted OR = 3.556 [3.196–3.956]) predicted the prescription of GDPM. Advanced age (adjusted OR = 0.556 [0.379–0.816]) was associated with lower prescription rate of GDPM. Patients with GDPM had lower rate of 5-year MACE (adjusted HR = 0.889 [0.808–0.978]) relative to those without GDPM. Conclusions: Despite the benefit of GDPM in improving the prognosis of CAD patients undergoing PCI, gaps still exist in GDPM prescription in real-world clinical practice. Our study determined target populations for physicians to strive to promote the application of GDPM.
