ABSTRACT: Aims
Whilst the risk factors for type 1 myocardial infarction due to atherosclerotic plaque rupture and thrombosis are established, our understanding of the factors that predispose to type 2 myocardial infarction during acute illness is still emerging. Our aim was to evaluate and compare the risk factors for type 1 and type 2 myocardial infarction.Methods and results
We conducted a secondary analysis of a multi-centre randomized trial population of 48 282 consecutive patients attending hospital with suspected acute coronary syndrome. The diagnosis of myocardial infarction during the index presentation and all subsequent reattendances was adjudicated according to the Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction. Cox regression was used to identify predictors of future type 1 and type 2 myocardial infarction during a 1-year follow-up period. Within 1 year, 1331 patients had a subsequent myocardial infarction, with 924 and 407 adjudicated as type 1 and type 2 myocardial infarction, respectively. Risk factors for type 1 and type 2 myocardial infarction were similar, with age, hyperlipidaemia, diabetes, abnormal renal function, and known coronary disease predictors for both (P < 0.05 for all). Whilst women accounted for a greater proportion of patients with type 2 as compared to type 1 myocardial infarction, after adjustment for other risk factors, sex was not a predictor of type 2 myocardial events [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) 0.82, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.66-1.01]. The strongest predictor of type 2 myocardial infarction was a prior history of type 2 events (aHR 6.18, 95% CI 4.70-8.12).Conclusions
Risk factors for coronary disease that are associated with type 1 myocardial infarction are also important predictors of type 2 events during acute illness. Treatment of these risk factors may reduce future risk of both type 1 and type 2 myocardial infarction.

Project description:BackgroundDespite poor cardiovascular outcomes, there are no dedicated, validated risk stratification tools to guide investigation or treatment in type 2 myocardial infarction.ObjectivesThe goal of this study was to derive and validate a risk stratification tool for the prediction of death or future myocardial infarction in patients with type 2 myocardial infarction.MethodsThe T2-risk score was developed in a prospective multicenter cohort of consecutive patients with type 2 myocardial infarction. Cox proportional hazards models were constructed for the primary outcome of myocardial infarction or death at 1 year using variables selected a priori based on clinical importance. Discrimination was assessed by area under the receiving-operating characteristic curve (AUC). Calibration was investigated graphically. The tool was validated in a single-center cohort of consecutive patients and in a multicenter cohort study from sites across Europe.ResultsThere were 1,121, 250, and 253 patients in the derivation, single-center, and multicenter validation cohorts, with the primary outcome occurring in 27% (297 of 1,121), 26% (66 of 250), and 14% (35 of 253) of patients, respectively. The T2-risk score incorporating age, ischemic heart disease, heart failure, diabetes mellitus, myocardial ischemia on electrocardiogram, heart rate, anemia, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and maximal cardiac troponin concentration had good discrimination (AUC: 0.76; 95% CI: 0.73-0.79) for the primary outcome and was well calibrated. Discrimination was similar in the consecutive patient (AUC: 0.83; 95% CI: 0.77-0.88) and multicenter (AUC: 0.74; 95% CI: 0.64-0.83) cohorts. T2-risk provided improved discrimination over the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events 2.0 risk score in all cohorts.ConclusionsThe T2-risk score performed well in different health care settings and could help clinicians to prognosticate, as well as target investigation and preventative therapies more effectively.

Project description:BackgroundMediastinal radiation is associated with increased risk of myocardial infarction (MI) among non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) survivors.ObjectiveTo evaluate how preexisting cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) modify the association of mediastinal radiation and MI among a national population of NHL survivors with a range of CVRFs.Material and methodsUsing Danish registries, we identified adults diagnosed with lymphoma 2000-2010. We assessed MI from one year after diagnosis through 2016. We ascertained CVRFs (hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes), vascular disease, and intrinsic heart disease prevalent at lymphoma diagnosis. We used multivariable Cox regression to test the interaction between preexisting CVRFs and receipt of mediastinal radiation on subsequent MI.ResultsAmong 3151 NHL survivors (median age 63, median follow-up 6.5 years), 96 were diagnosed with MI. Before lymphoma, 32% of survivors had ≥1 CVRF. 8.5% of survivors received mediastinal radiation. In multivariable analysis, we found that mediastinal radiation (HR = 1.96; 95% CI = 1.09-3.52), and presence of ≥1 CVRF (HR = 2.71; 95% CI = 1.77-4.15) were associated with an increased risk of MI. Although there was no interaction on the relative scale (p = 0.14), we saw a clinically relevant absolute increase in risk for patients with CVRF from 10-year of MI of 10.5% without radiation to 29.5% for those undergoing radiation.ConclusionPatients with CVRFs have an importantly higher risk of subsequent MI if they have mediastinal radiation. Routine evaluation of CVRFs and optimal treatment of preexisting cardiovascular disease should continue after receiving cancer therapy. In patients with CVRFs, mediastinal radiation should only be given if oncologic benefit clearly outweighs cardiovascular harm.

Project description:IntroductionPremature myocardial infarction (MI) generally refers to MI in men ≤55 years or women ≤65 years. Premature MI is a major contributor to cardiovascular disease (CVD), which claimed 17.6 million lives globally in 2016. Reducing premature MI and CVD is a key priority for all nations; however, there is sparse synthesis of information on risk factors associated with premature MI. To address this knowledge gap, we are conducting a systematic review to describe the association between risk factors (demographics, lifestyle factors and biomarkers) and premature MI.Methods and analysisThe following databases were searched from inception to June 2018: CENTRAL, CINAHL, Clinical Trials, EMBASE and MEDLINE. We will include original research articles (case-control, cohort and cross-sectional studies) that report a quantitative relationship between at least one risk factor and premature MI. Two investigators will use predetermined selection criteria and independently screen articles based on title and abstract (primary screening). Articles that meet selection criteria will undergo full-text screening based on criteria used for primary screening (secondary screening). Data will be extracted using predetermined data extraction forms. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for case-control and cohort studies will be used to evaluate the risk of bias and will be adapted for cross-sectional studies. Whenever feasible, data will be summarised into a random-effects meta-analysis.Ethics and disseminationTo our knowledge, this will be the first study to synthesise results on the relationship between risk factors and premature MI. These findings will inform healthcare providers on factors associated with risk of premature MI and potentially improve primary prevention efforts by guiding development of interventions. These findings will be summarised and presented at conferences and through publication in a peer-reviewed journal.Prospero registration numberCRD42018076862.

Project description:BackgroundType 2 myocardial infarction (MI) is defined by a rise and fall of cardiac biomarkers and evidence of ischemia without unstable coronary artery disease (CAD) because of a mismatch in myocardial oxygen supply and demand. Myocardial injury is similar but does not fulfill the clinical criteria for MI. There is uncertainty in terms of the clinical characteristics, management, and outcomes of type 2 MI and myocardial injury in comparison with type 1 MI.Patients and methodsPatients admitted to a Veterans Affairs tertiary care hospital with a rise and fall in cardiac troponin were identified. MI and injury subtypes, presentation, management, and outcomes were determined.ResultsType 1 MI, type 2 MI, and myocardial injury occurred in 137, 146, and 175 patients, respectively. Patients with type 2 MI were older (P=0.02), had lower peak cardiac troponin (P<0.001), and were less likely to receive aspirin and statin at discharge (P<0.001) than type 1 MI survivors. All-cause mortality (median follow-up: 1.8 years) was not different between patient groups (type 1 MI mortality: 29.9%, type 2 MI: 30.8%, myocardial injury: 29.7%; log rank P=0.94). A significant proportion of deaths were attributed to cardiovascular causes in all subgroups (type 1 MI: 34.1%, type 2 MI: 17.8%, myocardial injury: 30.8%).ConclusionPatients with type 2 MI and myocardial injury were less likely to receive medical therapy for CAD than those with type 1 MI. No differences in all-cause mortality among MI subtypes were observed. Additional studies to determine optimal medical therapy and risk stratification strategies for these high-risk populations are warranted.

Project description:An increasing number of patients develop a myocardial infarction (MI) in the absence of standard modifiable risk factors (SMuRFs). Atherosclerosis is characterized by a chronic arterial wall inflammation in which monocyte-derived macrophages play a pivotal role. Trained immunity – a long lasting hyperreactive state of innate immune cells – might contribute to the development of atherosclerosis. This study investigated whether trained immunity is observed in this specific patient group. 20 SMuRFless MI patients who suffered an atherothrombotic myocardial infarction > 1 year and < 4 years before inclusion were recruited. All patients were younger than 50 years of age during the index event. Patients were matched to 18 healthy controls without coronary atherosclerosis as determined by a coronary CT-scan. Blood samples were obtained two weeks after interrupting statins in patients and starting aspirin therapy in controls to match relevant medication use. Circulating inflammatory parameters and monocytes were analyzed, with an in-depth focus on peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) function, and monocyte phenotype, RNA expression and epigenetic histone markers. PBMCs from SMuRFless patients showed higher cytokine production upon ex vivo stimulation. Although baseline RNA expression and monocyte activations markers were largely unchanged, enrichment of the transcriptionally permissive histone marker H3K4me3 on the promoter region of cytokine genes was observedIL-10 genes was observed. This existed without differences in systemic inflammation. Circulating monocytes in young SMuRFless MI patients have a hyperresponsive functional and epigenetic phenotype, indicative of trained immunity. In the absence of traditional risk factors, this could be a promising target for future therapy in these patients.

Project description:BackgroundThere is limited data on the characteristics of conventional risk factors (RFs) in young Chinese men hospitalized with a first acute myocardial infarction (AMI).HypothesisWe analyzed the trends in and prevalence of cardiovascular RFs and subtypes of MI during the first AMI in young Chinese men.MethodsA total of 2739 men aged 18-44 years hospitalized for a first AMI were identified from 2007 to 2017. The overall prevalence of RFs and their respective temporal trends and subtypes of AMI were evaluated.ResultsThe most prevalent conditions were smoking, followed by hypertension and then obesity. Patients aged <35 years had a much higher prevalence of hypercholesterolemia and obesity. Compared with a similar reference population in the United States, young Chinese men had a higher prevalence of smoking and dyslipidemia, but a lower prevalence of obesity, hypertension, and diabetes. The prevalence of hypertension increased from 2007 through 2017 (p trend <.001), whereas smoking decreased gradually. AMI frequently presented as ST-segment elevation MI (STEMI) (77.5%). Cluster of conventional RFs (3 RFs, odds ratio [OR]: 1.69, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.11-2.57; ≥4 RFs, OR: 2.50, 95% CI: 1.55-4.03] and multivessel disease (OR = 1.32, 95% CI: 1.08-1.60) increased the risk of non-STEMI (NSTEMI).ConclusionsConventional RFs were highly prevalent in young Chinese men who were hospitalized for first AMI events, and the temporal trends varied different between China and US populations. Multivessel disease and cluster of conventional RFs are closely related to NSTEMI. Optimized preventive strategies among young adults are warranted.

Project description:BackgroundType 2 myocardial infarction (T2MI) is frequently encountered in clinical practice and associated with adverse outcomes.ContentT2MI occurs most frequently due to noncoronary etiologies that alter myocardial oxygen supply and/or demand. The diagnosis of T2MI is often confused with acute nonischemic myocardial injury, in part because of difficulties in delineating the nature of symptoms and misunderstandings about disease categorization. The use of objective features of myocardial ischemia using electrocardiographic (ECG) or imaging abnormalities may facilitate more precise T2MI diagnosis. High-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) assays allow rapid MI diagnosis and risk stratification, yet neither maximum nor delta values facilitate differentiation of T2MI from T1MI. Several investigational biomarkers have been evaluated for T2MI, but none have robust data. There is interest in evaluating risk profiles among patients with T2MI. Clinically, the magnitude of maximum and delta cTn values as well as the presence and magnitude of ischemia on ECG or imaging is used to indicate disease severity. Scoring systems such as GRACE, TIMI, and TARRACO have been evaluated, but all have limited to modest performance, with substantial variation in time intervals used for risk-assessment and endpoints used.SummaryThe diagnosis of T2MI requires biomarker evidence of acute myocardial injury and clear clinical evidence of acute myocardial ischemia without atherothrombosis. T2MIs are most often caused by noncoronary etiologies that alter myocardial oxygen supply and/or demand. They are increasingly encountered in clinical practice and associated with poor short- and long-term outcomes. Clinicians require novel biomarker or imaging approaches to facilitate diagnosis and risk-stratification.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Among patients undergoing noncardiac surgery, major vascular surgery is associated with a high risk of perioperative myocardial infarction (MI). Currently, there are no perioperative MI risk calculators accounting for intraoperative and postoperative risk factors in vascular surgery patients. We aimed to investigate specific risk factors for perioperative MI after major open vascular surgery to determine which patients are at highest risk of MI and the association of perioperative MI with perioperative transfusion. METHODS:This statewide, retrospective cohort study analyzed risk factors for perioperative MI in major open vascular surgery between July 2012 and December 2015 using the Michigan Surgical Quality Collaborative, a multicenter quality collaborative. Patients were identified using current procedure terminology codes including open abdominal aortic aneurysm repairs (oAAA), aortobifemoral bypasses (AFB), and lower extremity bypasses (LEB). Rates of myocardial infarction were described for each procedure. A priori, preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative variables were evaluated using univariate and multivariable statistics after adjusting for intraoperative factors including anesthesia type, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative transfusion, and intraoperative vasopressor medications. RESULTS:A total of 3,689 patients underwent major open vascular surgery, including 375 oAAA, 392 AFB, and 2,922 LEB procedures. The overall incidence of MI was 2.4%, varying from 1.8% for aortobifemoral bypass, 2.4% for lower extremity bypass, and 3.7% for open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Although preoperative risk factors for myocardial infarction included age, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, diabetes, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, use of beta blocker, lower preoperative hematocrit, and surgical priority (urgent/emergent cases), after adjusting for intraoperative risk factors, all preoperative risk factors were not significant with the exception of surgical priority. After adjusting for intraoperative factors, only surgical priority (odds ratio [OR] = 1.70, 95% confidence interval [CI] [1.01-2.85], P < 0.001) and postoperative transfusion (OR = 2.65, 95% CI [1.59-4.44], P < 0.001) was associated with myocardial infarction, and higher nadir hematocrit was inversely associated with myocardial infarction (OR = 0.89, 95% CI [0.85-0.94], P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS:Among vascular surgery patients undergoing major open vascular surgery, surgical priority was the only preoperative risk factors independently associated with MI, and only postoperative variables such as nadir hematocrit and postoperative transfusion were associated with MI. This suggests minimizing intraoperative blood loss and prioritizing early intraoperative transfusion may be the potential targets for process improvement.

Project description:ImportanceStudies of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) occurring outside the hospital have informed approaches to addressing risk, treatment, and patient outcomes. Similar insights for in-hospital AMI are lacking.ObjectiveTo determine the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes associated with in-hospital AMI.Design, setting, and participantsCohort, nested case-control, and matched cohort study of patients hospitalized in US Veterans Health Administration facilities between July 2007 and September 2009. The incidence of in-hospital AMI was determined from a complete cohort of in-hospital AMI relative to the total number of inpatient admissions. From the in-hospital AMI cohort, detailed medical record review was performed on 687 cases and 687 individually matched controls. Risk factors and outcomes associated with in-hospital AMI were determined from matched comparison of in-hospital AMI cases to hospitalized controls.ExposuresCandidate risk factors for in-hospital AMI included characteristics at the time of admission and in-hospital variables prior to the index date.Main outcomes and measuresIn the determination of the incidence and risk factors associated with in-hospital AMI, the outcome of interest was in-hospital AMI. All-cause mortality was the main outcome of interest following in-hospital AMI.ResultsA total of 5556 patients with in-hospital AMI (mean [SD] age, 73 [10] years; 5456 [98.2%] male) were identified among 1.3 million admissions, with an incidence of 4.27 in-hospital AMI events per 1000 admissions. Independent risk factors associated with in-hospital AMI included intensive care unit setting, history of coronary artery disease, heart rate greater than 100 beats/min, hemoglobin level less than 8 g/dL, and white blood cell count 14 000/μL or greater. Compared with the matched control group, mortality was significantly higher for patients with in-hospital AMI (in-hospital mortality, 26.4% vs 4.2%; 30-day mortality, 33.0% vs 10.0%; 1-year mortality, 59.2% vs 34.4%).Conclusions and relevanceIn-hospital AMI was common and associated with common cardiovascular risk factors and markers of acute illness. Patient outcomes following in-hospital AMI were poor, with 1-year mortality approaching 60%. Further study of in-hospital AMI may yield opportunities to reduce in-hospital AMI risk and improve patient outcomes.

Project description:BackgroundPrevious observational studies have confirmed the relationship between inflammation and acute myocardial infarction (AMI), but genetic evidence is still lacking. The aim of this study was to explore the bidirectional association of multiple peripheral inflammatory factors with this disease at the genetic level.MethodsSummary data for AMI and several peripheral inflammatory factors (such as interleukin-10 and interleukin-18) were collected from published genome-wide correlation studies. Based on the correlation, independence, and exclusivity assumptions, a total of 9 to 110 instrumental variables were selected from these summary data to predict the above traits. Two-sample Mendelian randomization methods, including inverse-variance weighted (IVW), were used to make causal inferences between exposures and outcomes. Sensitivity analyses including Cochran's Q, MR-Egger intercept, leave-one-out, forest plot, and MR-PRESSO were adopted to assess heterogeneity and horizontal pleiotropy.ResultsThe IVW reported that elevated peripheral levels of interleukin-10 and interleukin-18 were nominally associated with a reduced risk of AMI (OR = 0.876, 95% CI = 0.788 ~ 0.974, P = 0.015; OR = 0.934, 95% CI = 0.875 ~ 0.997, P = 0.040). The IVW also reported that the risk of AMI nominally increased the peripheral level of interleukin-10 (OR = 1.062, 95% CI = 1.003 ~ 1.124, P = 0.040). No significant heterogeneity or horizontal pleiotropy were found by sensitivity analyses.ConclusionBoth interleukin-10 and interleukin-18 were peripheral inflammatory factors genetically associated with AMI. In particular, combined with previous knowledge, interleukin-10 may have a protective effect on the onset, progression, and prognosis of the disease.
