Effect of Potent P2Y12 Inhibitors on Ventricular Arrhythmias and Cardiac Dysfunction in Coronary Artery Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Background:Previous studies have shown that P2Y12 receptor inhibitors might prevent ventricular arrhythmias and cardiac dysfunction in patients with coronary artery disease. However, few studies have focused on comparison of the efficacy of novel oral potent P2Y12 receptor inhibitors with clopidogrel on these outcomes. Methods and Results:We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that were published in electronic databases of MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Clinical Trials, and ClinicalTrials.gov before June 20, 2018. We compared the effect of prasugrel and ticagrelor with clopidogrel on outcomes of ventricular tachycardia (VT), ventricular fibrillation (VF), heart failure (HF), and cardiogenic shock (CS). Data were combined using both the fixed-effects models and the random-effects models, and the heterogeneity was assessed with the I 2 statistic. Nine RCTs (6 with prasugrel and 3 with ticagrelor) with 45,227 patients were included. Patients receiving prasugrel were associated with a lower risk of combined VT and VF (rate ratio [RR]: 0.72, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 95% CI: 0.52-0.99, p=0.043), as well as combined HF and CS (RR: 0.81, 95% CI: 0.70-0.94, p=0.005), compared with clopidogrel. Patients receiving ticagrelor were also associated with a reduced risk of VT and VF (RR: 0.85, 95% CI: 0.72-1.02, p=0.077), although without statistical significance, but not of HF and CS (RR: 0.96, 95% CI: 0.81-1.13, p=0.620). Conclusions:This meta-analysis of RCTs shows that, compared with clopidogrel, novel oral P2Y12 inhibitors, especially prasugrel, might have better effect on improving ventricular rhythm and cardiac function.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Cardiac sympathetic denervation (CSD) has been shown to reduce the burden of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) shocks in small series of patients with structural heart disease (SHD) and recurrent ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VT). OBJECTIVES:This study assessed the value of CSD and the characteristics associated with outcomes in this population. METHODS:Patients with SHD who underwent CSD for refractory VT or VT storm at 5 international centers were analyzed by the International Cardiac Sympathetic Denervation Collaborative Group. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to estimate freedom from ICD shock, heart transplantation, and death. Cox proportional hazards models were used to analyze variables associated with ICD shock recurrence and mortality after CSD. RESULTS:Between 2009 and 2016, 121 patients (age 55 ± 13 years, 26% female, mean ejection fraction of 30 ± 13%) underwent left or bilateral CSD. One-year freedom from sustained VT/ICD shock and ICD shock, transplant, and death were 58% and 50%, respectively. CSD reduced the burden of ICD shocks from a mean of 18 ± 30 (median 10) in the year before study entry to 2.0 ± 4.3 (median 0) at a median follow-up of 1.1 years (p < 0.01). On multivariable analysis, pre-procedure New York Heart Association functional class III and IV heart failure and longer VT cycle lengths were associated with recurrent ICD shocks, whereas advanced New York Heart Association functional class, longer VT cycle lengths, and a left-sided-only procedure predicted the combined endpoint of sustained VT/ICD shock recurrence, death, and transplantation. Of the 120 patients taking antiarrhythmic medications before CSD, 39 (32%) no longer required them at follow-up. CONCLUSIONS:CSD decreased sustained VT and ICD shock recurrence in patients with refractory VT. Characteristics independently associated with recurrence and mortality were advanced heart failure, VT cycle length, and a left-sided-only procedure.

Project description:OBJECTIVES:The study objectives were to test the hypotheses that ischemia during stress testing has prognostic value and identifies those patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction who derive the greatest benefit from coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) compared with medical therapy. BACKGROUND:The clinical significance of stress-induced ischemia in patients with CAD and moderately to severely reduced LV ejection fraction (EF) is largely unknown. METHODS:The STICH (Surgical Treatment for IsChemic Heart Failure) trial randomized patients with CAD and EF ?35% to CABG or medical therapy. In the current study, we assessed the outcomes of those STICH patients who underwent a radionuclide (RN) stress test or a dobutamine stress echocardiogram (DSE). A test was considered positive for ischemia by RN testing if the summed difference score (difference in tracer activity between stress and rest) was ?4 or if ?2 of 16 segments were ischemic during DSE. Clinical endpoints were assessed by intention to treat during a median follow-up of 56 months. RESULTS:Of the 399 study patients (51 women, mean EF 26 ± 8%), 197 were randomized to CABG and 202 were randomized to medical therapy. Myocardial ischemia was induced during stress testing in 256 patients (64% of the study population). Patients with and without ischemia were similar in age, multivessel CAD, previous myocardial infarction, LV EF, LV volumes, and treatment allocation (all p = NS). There was no difference between patients with and without ischemia in all-cause mortality (hazard ratio: 1.08; 95% confidence interval: 0.77 to 1.50; p = 0.66), cardiovascular mortality, or all-cause mortality plus cardiovascular hospitalization. There was no interaction between ischemia and treatment for any clinical endpoint. CONCLUSIONS:In CAD with severe LV dysfunction, inducible myocardial ischemia does not identify patients with worse prognosis or those with greater benefit from CABG over optimal medical therapy.

Project description:Background The clinical importance of intraprocedural stent thrombosis (IPST) during percutaneous coronary intervention in the contemporary era of potent oral P2Y12 inhibitors is not established. The aim of this study was to assess IPST and its association with clinical outcome in patients with myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with contemporary antithromboticmedications. Methods and Results The VALIDATE-SWEDEHEART study (Bivalirudin Versus Heparin in ST-Segment and Non-ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction in Patients on Modern Antiplatelet Therapy in the Swedish Web System for Enhancement and Development of Evidence-Based Care in Heart Disease Evaluated According to Recommended Therapies Registry Trial) included 6006 patients with myocardial infarction, treated with potent P2Y12 inhibitors during percutaneous coronary intervention. IPST, defined as a new or worsening thrombus related to a stent deployed during the procedure, was reported by the interventional cardiologist in 55 patients (0.9%) and was significantly associated with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction presentation, longer stents, bailout glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors, and final Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction flow <3. The primary composite end point included cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, out-of-laboratory definite stent thrombosis and target vessel revascularization within 30 days. Secondary end points were major bleeding and the individual components of the primary composite end point. Patients with versus without IPST had significantly higher rates of the primary composite end point (20.0% versus 4.4%), including higher rates of cardiovascular death, target vessel revascularization, and definite stent thrombosis, but not myocardial infarction or major bleeding. By multivariable analysis, IPST was independently associated with the primary composite end point (hazard ratio, 3.82; 95% CI, 2.05-7.12; P<0.001). Conclusions IPST is a rare but dangerous complication during percutaneous coronary intervention, independently associated with poor prognosis, even in the current era of potent antiplatelet agents. Future treatment studies are needed to reduce the rate of IPST and to improve the poor outcome among these patients. Registration URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov; Unique identifier: NCT02311231.
