Recent US Patterns and Predictors of Prevalent Diabetes among Acute Myocardial Infarction Patients.

ABSTRACT: Background. Diabetes mellitus (DM) confers high vascular risk and is a growing national epidemic. We assessed clinical characteristics and prevalence of diagnosed DM among patients hospitalized with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in the US over the last decade. Methods. Data were obtained from all states within the US that contributed to the Nationwide Inpatient Sample. All patients admitted to hospitals between 1997 and 2006 with a primary discharge diagnosis of AMI were included. Time trends in the proportion of these patients with DM diagnosis were computed. Results. The portion of patients with comorbid diabetes among AMI hospitalizations increased substantially from 18% in 1997 to 30% in 2006 (P < .0001). Absolute numbers of AMI hospitalizations in the US decreased 8% (from 729,?412 to 672,?243), while absolute numbers of AMI hospitalizations with coexisting DM rose 51% ((131,?189 to 198,?044), both (P < .0001). Women with AMI were significantly more likely to have DM than similarly aged men, but these differences diminished with increasing age. Conclusion. Although overall hospitalizations for AMI in the US diminished over the last decade, prevalence of diabetes rose substantially. This may have important consequences for the future societal vascular disease burden.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:We hypothesized that Displacement Encoding with Stimulated Echoes (DENSE) and feature-tracking derived circumferential strain would provide incremental prognostic value over the extent of infarction for recovery of segmental myocardial function. METHODS:Two hundred and sixty-one patients (mean age 59 years, 73% male) underwent MRI 2 days post-ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and 241 (92%) underwent repeat imaging 6 months later. The MRI protocol included cine, 2D-cine DENSE, T2 mapping and late enhancement. Wall motion scoring was assessed by 2-blinded observers and adjudicated by a third. (WMS: 1=normal, 2=hypokinetic, 3=akinetic, 4=dyskinetic). WMS improvement was defined as a decrease in WMS???1, and normalization where WMS?=?1 on follow-up. Segmental circumferential strain was derived utilizing DENSE and feature-tracking. A generalized linear mixed model with random effect of subject was constructed and used to account for repeated sampling when investigating predictors of segmental myocardial improvement or normalization RESULTS: At baseline and follow-up, 1416 segments had evaluable data for all parameters. Circumferential strain by DENSE (p?<?0.001) and feature-tracking (p?<?0.001), extent of oedema (p?<?0.001), infarct size (p?<?0.001), and microvascular obstruction (p?<?0.001) were associates of both improvement and normalization of WMS. Circumferential strain provided incremental predictive value even after accounting for infarct size, extent of oedema and microvascular obstruction, for segmental improvement (DENSE: odds ratio, 95% confidence intervals: 1.08 per -1% peak strain, 1.05-1.12, p?<?0.001, feature-tracking: odds ratio, 95% confidence intervals: 1.05 per -1% peak strain, 1.03-1.07, p?<?0.001) and segmental normalization (DENSE: 1.08 per -1% peak strain, 1.04-1.12, p?<?0.001, feature-tracking: 1.06 per -1% peak strain, 1.04-1.08, p?<?0.001). CONCLUSIONS:Circumferential strain provides incremental prognostic value over segmental infarct size in patients post STEMI for predicting segmental improvement or normalization by wall-motion scoring.

Project description:BACKGROUND: The dysregulated expressions of circulating miRNAs have been detected in various cardiovascular diseases. In our previous experiments, the altered expressions of circulating miRNA-21-5p, miRNA-361-5p and miRNA-519e-5p were confirmed in patients with coronary atherosclerosis by miRNA microarrays. However, the expression levels of these circulating miRNAs in the early phase of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are still unknown. In the present study, our aims were to examine the expressions of circulating miR-21-5p, miR-361-5p and miR-519e-5p in AMI patients, and assess their clinical applications for diagnosing and monitoring AMI. RESULTS: Two different cohorts were enrolled in this study. The first cohort included 17 AMI patients and 28 healthy volunteers, and the second cohort included 9 AMI patients, 9 ischemic stroke patients, 8 patients with pulmonary embolism, and 12 healthy volunteers. Quantitative real-time PCR and ELISA assays were preformed to detect the concentrations of plasma miRNAs and cardiac troponin I (cTnI), respectively. The results showed that the plasma levels of miR-21-5p and miR-361-5p were significantly increased in AMI patients, whereas the concentration of circulating miR-519e-5p was reduced. Interestingly, the levels of these circulating miRNAs correlated with the concentrations of plasma cTnI. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis revealed that these three circulating miRNAs had considerable diagnostic accuracy for AMI with high values of area under ROC curve (AUC). Importantly, combining the three miRNAs significantly increased the diagnostic accuracy. Furthermore, cell experiments demonstrated that these plasma miRNAs may originate from injured cardiomyocytes induced by hypoxia. In addition, the levels of all the three circulating miRNAs in ischemic stroke (IS) and pulmonary embolism (PE) were elevated, whereas the decreased level of plasma miR-519e-5p was only detected in AMI. ROC analysis demonstrated that circulating miR-519e-5p may be a useful biomarker for distinguishing AMI from other ischemic diseases. CONCLUSIONS: Circulating miRNAs may be novel and powerful biomarkers for AMI and they could be potential diagnostic tool for AMI.

Project description:Preclinical data suggest that an acute inflammatory response following myocardial infarction (MI) accelerates systemic atherosclerosis. Using combined positron emission and computed tomography, we investigated whether this phenomenon occurs in humans.Overall, 40 patients with MI and 40 with stable angina underwent thoracic 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose combined positron emission and computed tomography scan. Radiotracer uptake was measured in aortic atheroma and nonvascular tissue (paraspinal muscle). In 1003 patients enrolled in the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events, we assessed whether infarct size predicted early (?30 days) and late (>30 days) recurrent coronary events. Compared with patients with stable angina, patients with MI had higher aortic 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake (tissue-to-background ratio 2.15±0.30 versus 1.84±0.18, P<0.0001) and plasma C-reactive protein concentrations (6.50 [2.00 to 12.75] versus 2.00 [0.50 to 4.00] mg/dL, P=0.0005) despite having similar aortic (P=0.12) and less coronary (P=0.006) atherosclerotic burden and similar paraspinal muscular 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake (P=0.52). Patients with ST-segment elevation MI had larger infarcts (peak plasma troponin 32 300 [10 200 to >50 000] versus 3800 [1000 to 9200] ng/L, P<0.0001) and greater aortic 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake (2.24±0.32 versus 2.02±0.21, P=0.03) than those with non-ST-segment elevation MI. Peak plasma troponin concentrations correlated with aortic 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake (r=0.43, P=0.01) and, on multivariate analysis, independently predicted early (tertile 3 versus tertile 1: relative risk 4.40 [95% CI 1.90 to 10.19], P=0.001), but not late, recurrent MI.The presence and extent of MI is associated with increased aortic atherosclerotic inflammation and early recurrent MI. This finding supports the hypothesis that acute MI exacerbates systemic atherosclerotic inflammation and remote plaque destabilization: MI begets MI.URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov.
