The prognostic value of Tei index in acute myocardial infarction: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT: Background: Echocardiographic evaluation of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is used in the risk stratification of patients with an acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, the prognostic value of the Tei index, an alternative measure of global cardiac function, in AMI patients is not well established.

Methods: We conducted a systematic review, using MEDLINE and EMBASE, to evaluate the prognostic value of the Tei index in predicting adverse outcomes in patients presenting with AMI. The data was collected and narratively synthesised.

Results: A total of 16 studies were including in this review with 2886 participants (mean age was 60 years from 14 studies, the proportion of male patients 69.8% from 14 studies). Patient follow-up duration ranged from during the AMI hospitalisation stay to 57.8 months. Tei index showed a significant association with heart failure episodes, reinfarction, death and left ventricular thrombus formation in 14 out of the 16 studies. However, in one of these studies, Tei index was only significantly predictive of cardiac events in patients where LVEF was <40%. In two further studies, Tei index was not associated with predicting adverse outcomes once LVEF, left ventricular end-systolic volume index and left ventricular early filling time was taken into consideration. In the two remaining studies, there was no prognostic value of Tei index in relation to patient outcomes.

Conclusions: Tei index may be an important prognostic marker in AMI patients, however, more studies are needed to better understand when it should be used routinely within clinical practice.

Project description:Background: Recent studies have shown that blood-based miRNAs are dysregulated in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and are therefore a potential tool for the diagnosis of AMI. Therefore, this study summarized and evaluated studies focused on microRNAs as novel biomarkers for the diagnosis of AMI from the last ten years. Methods: MEDLINE, the Cochrane Central database, and EMBASE were searched between January 2010 and December 2019. Studies that assessed the diagnostic accuracy of circulating microRNAs in AMI were chosen. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, diagnostic odds ratio, and area under the curve (AUC) were used to assess the test performance of miRNAs. Results: A total of 58 studies that included 8,206 participants assessed the diagnostic accuracy of circulating miRNAs in AMI. The main results of the meta-analyses are as follows: (1) Total miRNAs: the overall pooled sensitivity and specificity were 0.82 (95% CI: 0.79-0.85) and 0.87 (95% CI: 0.84-0.90), respectively. The AUC value was 0.91 (95% CI: 0.88-0.93) in the overall summary receiver operator characteristic (SROC) curve. (2) The panel of two miRNAs: sensitivity: 0.88 (95% CI: 0.77-0.94), specificity: 0.84 (95% CI: 0.72-0.91), AUC: 0.92 (95% CI: 0.90-0.94). (3) The panel of three miRNAs: sensitivity: 0.91 (95% CI: 0.85-0.94), specificity: 0.87 (95% CI: 0.77-0.92), AUC: 0.92 (95% CI: 0.89-0.94). (4) Results by types of miRNAs: miRNA-1: sensitivity: 0.78 (95% CI: 0.71-0.84), specificity: 0.86 (95% CI: 0.77-0.91), AUC: 0.88 (95% CI: 0.85-0.90); miRNA-133a: sensitivity: 0.85 (95% CI: 0.69-0.94), specificity: 0.92 (95% CI: 0.61-0.99), AUC: 0.93 (95% CI: 0.91-0.95); miRNA-208b: sensitivity: 0.80 (95% CI: 0.69-0.88), specificity: 0.96 (95% CI: 0.77-0.99), AUC: 0.91 (95% CI: 0.88-0.93); miRNA-499: sensitivity: 0.85 (95% CI: 0.77-0.91), specificity: 0.95 (95% CI: 0.89-0.98), AUC: 0.96 (95% CI: 0.94-0.97). Conclusion: miRNAs may be used as potential biomarkers for the detection of AMI. For single, stand-alone miRNAs, miRNA-499 may have better diagnostic accuracy compared to other miRNAs. We propose that a panel of multiple miRNAs with high sensitivity and specificity should be tested.

Project description:Objective: Fragmented QRS (fQRS) have been reported as a predictor of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) and mortality in several studies on cardiovascular disease. However, most studies have yielded discrepant results. This study aimed to explore the correlation between fQRS and cardiovascular events in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) during their hospital stay and follow-up period, and the predictive value of fQRS in the prognosis of AMI. Methods: We searched for relevant studies in four databases, Medline, Embase, PubMed, and the Cochrane Library from January 2010 to March 2020. Our initial search yielded 585 articles. Of these, we screened 19 studies, and finally included a total of 6,914 patients in this analysis, comparing death events or MACE in AMI patients with or without fQRS. Results: Fragmented QRS was significantly associated with a higher risk of in-hospital mortality (OR, 3.97; 95% CI, 2.45-6.44; p < 0.00001), long-term mortality (OR, 2.93; 95% CI, 1.76-4.88; p < 0.0001), in-hospital MACE (OR, 2.48; 95% CI, 1.62-3.80; p < 0.0001), and long-term MACE (OR, 3.81; 95% CI, 2.21-6.57; p < 0.00001). In particular, it demonstrated a higher predictive value for in-hospital cardiovascular mortality and long-term all-cause mortality in AMI patients and in-hospital mortality in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Moreover, fQRS was also associated with an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias (OR, 2.76; 95% CI, 1.72-4.43; p < 0.0001) and heart failure (OR, 1.65; 95% CI, 1.02-2.66; p = 0.04). Fragmented QRS was negatively associated with left ventricular ejection function (LVEF) (MD, -5.47; CI, [-7.03, -3.91]; p < 0.00001) and positively associated with a high incidence of coronary artery triple vessel lesions (OR, 2.14; 95% CI, 1.31-3.51; p = 0.002) in AMI patients. Conclusion: Fragmented QRS is significantly associated with in-hospital and long-term mortality and MACE in patients with AMI, as well as ventricular arrhythmias and heart failure. Furthermore, it may be a marker of mortality and MACE risk. Moreover, fQRS also indicates a reduced LVEF and a high incidence of coronary artery triple vessel lesions in AMI patients.

Project description:Background A comprehensive evaluation of the benefits of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRA) in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients is lacking. Objective To summarize the evidence on the efficacy and safety of MRA in patients admitted for AMI. Methods Articles were identified through PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Ovid (Medline1946-2021), and ClinicalTrials.gov databases from their inception to December 31, 2020. Results 15 articles with a total of 11,861 patients were included. MRA reduced the risk of all-cause mortality by 16% (relative ratio (RR): 0.84; 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.76, 0.94); P = 0.002) and the incidence of cardiovascular adverse events by 12% (RR: 0.88, 95% CI (0.83, 0.93), P < 0.00001) in post-AMI patients, and further analysis demonstrated that early administration of MRA within 7 days after AMI resulted in a greater reduction in all-cause mortality (RR: 0.72, 95% CI (0.61, 0.85), P < 0.0001). Subgroup analyses showed that post-STEMI patients without left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) treated with MRA had a 36% reduction in all-cause mortality (RR: 0.64, 95% CI (0.46, 0.89), P = 0.007) and a 22% reduction in cardiovascular adverse events (RR: 0.78, 95% CI (0.67, 0.91), P = 0.002). Meanwhile, post-STEMI patients without LVSD treated with MRA get significant improvements in left ventricular ejection fraction (mean difference (MD): 2.69, 95% CI (2.44, 2.93), P < 0.00001), left ventricular end-systolic index (MD: -4.52 ml/m2, 95% CI (-8.21, -0.83), P = 0.02), and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (MD: -0.11 cm, 95% CI (-0.22, 0.00), P = 0.05). The corresponding RR were 1.72 (95% CI (1.43, 2.07), P < 0.00001) for considered common adverse events (hyperkalemia, gynecomastia, and renal dysfunction). Conclusions Our findings suggest that MRA treatment reduces all-cause mortality and cardiovascular adverse events in post-AMI patients, which is more significant in patients after STEMI without LVSD. In addition, MRA treatment may exert beneficial effects on the reversal of cardiac remodeling in patients after STEMI without LVSD.
