Predictive value of visit-to-visit blood pressure variability for cardiovascular events in patients with coronary artery disease with and without diabetes mellitus.

ABSTRACT:

Background

High blood pressure is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Visit-to-visit blood pressure variability (BPV) has recently been shown to predict cardiovascular outcomes. We investigated the predictive value of BPV for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) among patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Methods

Patients with stable CAD were enrolled and monitored for new MACE. Visit-to-visit BPV was defined as the coefficient of variation (CV) of systolic and diastolic BP across clinic visits. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the association of BPV with MACE. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was used to assess its predictive ability.

Results

Among 1140 Chinese patients with stable CAD, 192 (17%) experienced a new MACE. In multivariable analyses, the risk of MACE was significantly associated with CV of systolic BP (odds ratio [OR] for highest versus lowest quartile, 3.30; 95% CI 1.97-5.54), and diastolic BP (OR for highest versus lowest quartile, 2.39; 95% CI 1.39-4.11), after adjustment for variables of the risk factor model (age, gender, T2DM, hypertension, antihypertensive agents, number of BP measurements) and mean BP. The risk factor model had an AUC of 0.70 for prediction of MACE. Adding systolic/diastolic CV into the risk factor model with mean BP significantly increased the AUC to 0.73/0.72 (P = 0.002/0.007). In subgroup analyses, higher CV of systolic BP remained significantly associated with an increased risk for MACE in patients with and without T2DM, whereas the association of CV of diastolic BP with MACE was observed only in those without T2DM.

Conclusions

Visit-to-visit variability of systolic BP and of diastolic BP was an independent predictor of new MACE and provided incremental prognostic value beyond mean BP and conventional risk factors in patients with stable CAD. The association of BPV in CAD patients without T2DM with subsequent risk for MACE was stronger than in those with T2DM.

Project description:BackgroundHDL is endowed with several metabolic, vascular, and immunoinflammatory protective functions. Among them, a key property is to promote reverse cholesterol transport from cells back to the liver. The aim of this study was to estimate the association of scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI)- and ATP binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1)-mediated cholesterol efflux (the two major routes for cholesterol efflux to HDL) with the presence, extent, and severity of coronary artery disease (CAD), vascular wall remodelling processes, coronary plaque characteristics, and the incidence of myocardial infarction in the different subgroups of patients from the CAPIRE study.MethodsPatients (n = 525) from the CAPIRE study were divided into two groups: low-risk factors (RF), with 0-1 RF (n = 263), and multiple-RF, with ≥2 RFs; within each group, subjects were classified as no-CAD or CAD based on the segment involvement score (SIS) evaluated by coronary computed tomography angiography (SIS = 0 and SIS > 5, respectively). SR-BI- and ABCA1-mediated cholesterol efflux were measured using the plasma of all patients.ResultsSR-BI-mediated cholesterol efflux was significantly reduced in patients with CAD in both the low-RF and multiple-RF groups, whereas ABCA1-mediated cholesterol efflux was similar among all groups. In CAD patients, multivariable analysis showed that SR-BI-mediated cholesterol efflux <25th percentile predicted cardiovascular outcome (odds ratio 4.1; 95% CI: 1.3-13.7; p = .019), whereas ABCA-1-mediated cholesterol efflux and HDL-C levels significantly did not. Despite this finding, reduced SR-BI-mediated cholesterol efflux was not associated with changes in high-risk plaque features or changes in the prevalence of elevated total, non-calcified, and low-attenuation plaque volume.ConclusionSR-BI-mediated cholesterol efflux capacity is lower in patients with diffuse coronary atherosclerosis. In addition, a lower SR-BI-mediated cholesterol efflux capacity is associated with the worst clinical outcomes in patients with CAD, independently of atherosclerotic plaque features. Key MessagesIncreased cholesterol efflux capacity, an estimate of HDL function, is associated with a reduced CVD risk, regardless of HDL-C levels.HDL-C levels are significantly lower in patients with CAD.Lower SR-BI-mediated cholesterol efflux capacity is observed in patients with diffuse coronary atherosclerosis and is associated with the worst clinical outcomes in patients with CAD, independently of atherosclerotic plaque features.

Project description:BackgroundPatients with diabetes are a high-risk group for coronary in-stent restenosis (ISR), so it would be valuable to identify biomarkers to predict their prognosis. The plasma big endothelin-1 (big ET-1) level is closely related to cardiovascular adverse events; however, for patients with ISR and diabetes who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), whether big ET-1 is independently correlated with prognosis is still uncertain.MethodsPatients with drug-eluting stent (DES) restenosis who underwent successful re-PCI from January 2017 to December 2018 at the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences Fuwai Hospital were enrolled and followed up for 3 years. The patients were divided into the tertiles of baseline big ET-1. The primary end points were major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs): cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), target lesion revascularization (TLR), and stroke. A Cox multivariate proportional hazard model and the C-statistic were used to evaluate the potential predictive value of big ET-1 beyond traditional and angiographic risk factors.ResultsA total of 1,574 patients with ISR were included in this study, of whom 795 were diabetic. In patients with ISR and diabetes, after an average follow-up of 2.96 ± 0.56 years, with the first tertile of big ET-1 as a reference, the hazard ratio [HR] (95% CI) of MACEs after adjustment for traditional and angiographic risk factors was 1.24 (0.51-3.05) for the second tertile and 2.60 (1.16-5.81) for the third. Big ET-1 improved the predictive value for MACEs over traditional risk factors (C-statistic: 0.64 vs. 0.60, p = 0.03). Big ET-1 was not significantly associated with the risk of MACEs in patients without diabetes.ConclusionIncreased plasma big ET-1 was associated with a higher risk of adverse cardiovascular prognosis independent of traditional and angiographic risk factors, and therefore, it might be used as a predictive biomarker, in patients with ISR and diabetes.
