Sex-Related Differences in In-Hospital Mortality in Japanese ST-Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction Patients Presenting to Hospital in the 24 Hours After Symptom Onset?- Results From K-ACTIVE.

ABSTRACT: Background: Despite the drastic advances in clinical care for patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), female STEMI patients have higher in-hospital mortality rates than male patients. This study assessed the influence of sex on in-hospital mortality in STEMI patients in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. Methods?and?Results: From October 2015 to June 2018, 2,491 consecutive STEMI patients (23.9% female) who presented to hospital in the 24 h after symptom onset were analyzed. The female patients were 9 years older and less frequently had diabetes, smoking and prior MI than male patients. Pre-hospital managements, including prehospital 12-lead electrocardiography, and symptom-to-door time were similar between the sexes. A door-to-device time ?90 min was achieved in 61.3% of female cases and in 65.0% of male cases (P=0.13). Reperfusion therapy was provided to 94.6% of female and 97.6% of male patients (P<0.001). In-hospital mortality rate was not significantly different between female and male patients (6.6% vs. 7.8%, P=0.37). On multivariate logistic regression analysis, female sex itself was not associated with in-hospital mortality (OR, 1.52; 95% CI: 0.67-3.47, P=0.32). Conclusions: There was no sex discrepancy in the in-hospital mortality of STEMI patients in this study. Guideline-based treatment, such as advanced pre-hospital management and a high use of reperfusion therapy might have attenuated the sex-related differences in the in-hospital mortality.

Project description:Objective: ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) occurs as a result of acute occlusion of the coronary artery. Despite successful reperfusion using percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), a large percentage of myocardial cells die after reperfusion which is recognized as ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/R). Oxidized phosphatidylcholines (OxPCs) are a group of oxidized lipids generated through non-enzymatic oxidation and have pro-inflammatory properties. This study aimed to examine the roles of OxPCs in a clinical setting of myocardial I/R. Methods: Blood samples were collected from STEMI patients at presentation prior to primary PCI (PPCI) (Isch) and at 4 time-points post-PPCI, including 2 h (R-2 h), 24 h (R-24 h), 48 h (R-48 h), and 30 days (R-30 d) post-PPCI. As controls, blood samples were collected from patients with non-obstructive coronary artery disease after diagnostic coronary angiography. Aspiration thrombectomy was also performed in selected STEMI patients. High-performance lipid chromatography-electrospray mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was used for OxPCs analysis. Results: Twenty-two distinct OxPC species were identified and quantified in plasma samples in patients presenting with STEMI. These compounds were categorized as fragmented and non-fragmented species. Total levels of OxPCs did not significantly differ between Isch and control groups. However, total levels of fragmented OxPCs increased significantly in the ischemic period compared with controls (Isch: 4.79 ± 0.94, Control: 1.69 ± 0.19 ng/μl of plasma, P < 0.05). Concentrations of non-fragmented OxPCs had significant reductions during ischemia compared to the control group (Isch: 4.84 ± 0.30, Control: 6.6 ± 0.51 ng/μl, P < 0.05). Levels of total OxPCs in patients with STEMI were not significantly different during reperfusion periods. However, fragmented OxPCs levels were elevated at 48 h post-reperfusion and decreased at 30 days following MI, when compared to R-2 h and R-24 h time points (Isch: 4.79 ± 0.94, R-2 h: 5.33 ± 1.17, R-24 h: 5.20 ± 1.1, R-48 h: 4.18 ± 1.07, R-30 d: 1.87 ± 0.31 ng/μl, P < 0.05). Plasma levels of two fragmented OxPCs, namely, POVPC and PONPC were significantly correlated with peak creatine kinase (CK) levels (P < 0.05). As with plasma levels, the dominant OxPC species in coronary aspirated thrombus were fragmented OxPCs, which constituted 77% of total OxPC concentrations. Conclusion: Biologically active fragmented OxPC were elevated in patients presenting with STEMI when compared to controls. PONPC concentrations were subsequently increased after PPCI resulting in reperfusion. Moreover, levels of POVPC and PONPC were also associated with peak CK levels. Since these molecules are potent stimulators for cardiomyocyte cell death, therapeutics attenuating their activities can result in a novel therapeutic pathway for myocardial salvage for patients undergoing reperfusion therapy.

Project description:Background Adenosine is used to treat no-reflow in the infarct-related artery (IRA) during ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction intervention. However, the physiological effect of adenosine in the IRA is variable. Coronary steal-a reduction of blood flow to the distal coronary bed-can occur in response to adenosine and this is facilitated by collaterals. We investigated the effects of adenosine on coronary flow reserve (CFR) in patients presenting with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction to better understand the physiological mechanism underpinning the variable response to adenosine. Methods and Results Pressure-wire assessment of the IRA after percutaneous coronary intervention was performed in 93 patients presenting with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction to calculate index of microvascular resistance, CFR, and collateral flow index by pressure. Modified collateral Rentrop grade to the IRA was recorded, as was microvascular obstruction by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Coronary steal (CFR <0.9), no change in flow (CFR=0.9-1.1), and hyperemic flow (CFR >1.1) after adenosine occurred in 19 (20%), 15 (16%), and 59 (63%) patients, respectively. Patients with coronary steal had higher modified Rentrop score to the IRA (1 [0, 1.75] versus 0 [0, 1], P<0.001) and a higher collateral flow index by pressure (0.25±0.10 versus 0.15±0.10, P=0.004) than the hyperemic group. The coronary steal group also had significantly higher index of microvascular resistance (61.68 [28.13, 87.04] versus 23.93 [14.67, 37.00], P=0.006) and had more disease (stenosis >50%) in the donor arteries (52.63% versus 22.03%, P=0.02) than the hyperemic group. Conclusions Adenosine-induced coronary steal may be responsible for a reduction in coronary flow reserve in a proportion of patients presenting with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction.
