Extracellular Vesicles Are Associated With Outcome in Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation and Myocardial Infarction.

ABSTRACT: Background: Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is being increasingly applied in patients with circulatory failure, but mortality remains high. An inflammatory response syndrome initiated by activation of blood components in the extracorporeal circuit may be an important contributing factor. Patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) may also experience a systemic inflammatory response syndrome and are at risk of developing cardiogenic shock and cardiac arrest, both indications for VA-ECMO. Extracellular vesicles (EV) are released by activated cells as mediators of intercellular communication and may serve as prognostic biomarkers. Cardiomyocyte EV, released upon myocardial ischemia, hold strong potential for this purpose. The aim of this study was to assess the EV-profile in VA-ECMO and STEMI patients and the association with outcome. Methods: In this prospective observational study, blood was sampled on day 1 after VA-ECMO initiation or myocardial reperfusion (STEMI patients). EV were isolated by differential centrifugation. Leukocyte, platelet, endothelial, erythrocyte and cardiomyocyte (caveolin-3⁺) Annexin V⁺ EV were identified by flow cytometry. EV were assessed in survivors vs. non-survivors of VA-ECMO and in STEMI patients with normal-lightly vs. moderately-severely reduced left ventricular function. Logistic regression was conducted to determine the predictive accuracy of EV. Pearson correlation analysis of EV with clinical parameters was performed. Results: Eighteen VA-ECMO and 19 STEMI patients were recruited. Total Annexin V⁺, cardiomyocyte and erythrocyte EV concentrations were lower (p ≤ 0.005) while the percentage of platelet EV was increased in VA-ECMO compared to STEMI patients (p = 0.002). Total Annexin V⁺ EV were increased in non-survivors of VA-ECMO (p = 0.01), and higher levels were predictive of mortality (AUC = 0.79, p = 0.05). Cardiomyocyte EV were increased in STEMI patients with moderately-severely reduced left ventricular function (p = 0.03), correlated with CK-MB_max (r = 0.57, p = 0.02) and time from reperfusion to blood sampling (r = 0.58, p = 0.01). Leukocyte EV correlated with the number of coronary stents placed (r = 0.60, p = 0.02). Conclusions: Elevated total Annexin V⁺ EV on day 1 of VA-ECMO are predictive of mortality. Increased cardiomyocyte EV on day 1 after STEMI correlate with infarct size and are associated with poor outcome. These EV may aid in the early identification of patients at risk of poor outcome, helping to guide clinical management.

Project description:BackgroundEEG-based prognostication studies in intensive care units often rely on a standard 21-electrode montage (stdEEG) requiring substantial human, technical, and financial resources. We here evaluate whether a simplified 4-frontal electrode montage (4-frontEEG) can detect EEG patterns associated with poor outcomes in adult patients under veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO).MethodsWe conducted a reanalysis of EEG data from a prospective cohort on 118 adult patients under VA-ECMO, in whom EEG was performed on admission to intensive care. EEG patterns of interest included background rhythm, discontinuity, reactivity, and the Synek's score. They were all reassessed by an intensivist on a 4-frontEEG montage, whose analysis was then compared to an expert's interpretation made on stdEEG recordings. The main outcome measure was the degree of correlation between 4-frontEEG and stdEEG montages to identify EEG patterns of interest. The performance of the Synek scores calculated on 4-frontEEG and stdEEG montage to predict outcomes (i.e., 28-day mortality and 90-day Rankin score [Formula: see text]) was investigated in a secondary exploratory analysis.ResultsThe detection of EEG patterns using 4-frontEEG was statistically similar to that of stdEEG for background rhythm (Spearman rank test, ρ = 0.66, p < 0.001), discontinuity (Cohen's kappa, [Formula: see text] = 0.955), reactivity ([Formula: see text] = 0.739) and the Synek's score (ρ = 0.794, p < 0.001). Using the Synek classification, we found similar performances between 4-frontEEG and stdEEG montages in predicting 28-day mortality (AUC 4-frontEEG 0.71, AUC stdEEG 0.68) and for 90-day poor neurologic outcome (AUC 4-frontEEG 0.71, AUC stdEEG 0.66). An exploratory analysis confirmed that the Synek scores determined by 4 or 21 electrodes were independently associated with 28-day mortality and poor 90-day functional outcome.ConclusionIn adult patients under VA-ECMO, a simplified 4-frontal electrode EEG montage interpreted by an intensivist, detected common EEG patterns associated with poor outcomes, with a performance similar to that of a standard EEG montage interpreted by expert neurophysiologists. This simplified montage could be implemented as part of a multimodal evaluation for bedside prognostication.

Project description:BackgroundThis study aimed to identify the determinant factors of survival in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and refractory cardiogenic shock (RCS) who underwent veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).MethodsSixty-nine consecutive patients with AMI-related RCS were enrolled in the study. They were treated with ECMO and primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The clinical scores and coronary angiography (CAG) factors related to 100-day survival were evaluated.ResultsThirty patients (43.5%) survived for more than 100 days. The CAG showed that 19 (27.5%) patients had left main disease (LMD). There were 17 (24.6%), 27 (39.1%), and 25 (36.3%) patients with one-vessel, two-vessel, and three-vessel disease, respectively. There were significant differences between the survivors and non-survivors in the simplified acute physiology score II (SAPSII) (65.4±17.2 vs. 83.1±13.0, P<0.001), sepsis-related organ failure assessment score (SOFA) (10.4±2.7 vs. 12.3±2.5, P=0.004), survival after veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation score (SAVE) (-4.4±4.3 vs. -8.4±3.1, P<0.001), CPR time (15.8±16.6 vs. 30.0±29.5, P=0.048), LMD [4 (13.3%) vs. 15 (38.5%), P=0.029], and number of coronary artery disease (NCAD) (P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that NCAD (OR 3.788, P=0.008) was one of the independent predictors of mortality. The ROC analysis showed that SAPSII (AUC 0.786, P<0.001), SOFA (AUC 0.715, P=0.002), and SAVE (AUC 0.766, P<0.001) equally predict mortality. The combined NCAD parameters more accurately predicted mortality and differences in the AUC values (d-AUC) between SAPSII plus NCAD vs. SAPSII (d-AUC 0.073, z=2.256, P=0.024), SOFA plus NCAD vs. SOFA (d-AUC 0.058, z=2.773, P=0.006), and SAVE plus NCAD vs. SAVE (d-AUC 0.036, z=2.332, P=0.020).ConclusionsThe SAPSII, SOFA, and SAVE scores predict the prognosis of ECMO-treated AMI patients with RCS. The CAG findings reinforce the predictive power of each score.
