Objective. Whether optimal cardiovascular health metrics may reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in secondary prevention is uncertain. The study was conducted to evaluate the influence of lifestyle changes on clinical outcomes among the subjects underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods. The study group consists of 17,099 consecutive PCI patients. We recorded data on subject lifestyle behavior changes after their procedure. Patients were categorized as ideal, intermediate, or poor CV health according to a modified Life’s Simple 7 score (on body mass, smoking, physical activity, diet, cholesterol, blood pressure, and glucose). Multivariable COX regression was used to evaluate the association between CV health and revascularization event. We also tested the impact of cumulative cardiovascular health score on reoccurrence of cardiovascular event. Results. During a 3-year median follow-up, 1,583 revascularization events were identified. The observed revascularization rate was 8.0%, 9.3%, and 10.6% in the group of patients with optimal (a modified Life’s Simple 7 score of 11–14), average (score = 9 or 10), or inadequate (less or equal than 8) CV health, respectively. After multivariable analysis, the adjusted hazard ratios were 0.83 (95% CI: 0.73–0.94) and 0.89 (95% CI: 0.79–0.99) for patients with optimal and average lifestyle changes comparing with the inadequate tertile (P for trend = 0.003). In addition, each unit increase in above metrics was associated with a decrease risk of revascularization (HR, 0.96; 95% confidence interval, 0.93–0.98; P<0.001). Conclusion. Ideal CV health related to lower incidence of cardiovascular events, even after the percutaneous coronary intervention. Revascularization can be reduced by lifestyle changes. The cardiovascular health metrics could be extrapolated to secondary prevention and need for further validation.

Introduction: Sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) is a risk factor of cardiovascular disease. However, the impact of SAS on the clinical course after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains to be elucidated. Methods: A total of 206 consecutive patients who underwent PCI were included. The incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) at 3-year was compared among patients with untreated SAS (untreated SAS group; n=60), those with SAS treated by continuous positive alveolar pressure (CPAP group; n=20) and those without SAS (non-SAS group; n=96). MACE included cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization (TVR), and non-TVR (NTVR). Results: There was no significant difference in baseline clinical characteristics among the untreated SAS group, the CPAP group and the non-SAS groups, other than in age (74.1 ± 9.6 vs. 71.2 ± 0.33 vs. 68.2 ± 10.7, p = 0.002) and hemoglobin A1c levels (6.54 ± 0.87 vs. 6.61 ± 0.58 vs. 6.09 ± 0.70 %, p < 0.001). The incidence of MACE, TLR and TVR was significantly higher in the untreated SAS group than in the CPAP group and the Non-SAS group although there was no significant difference in the incidence of NTVR among the three groups (Figure). The untreated SAS was independently associated with the incidence of 3-year MACE (odds ratio 3.24, 95% confidence interval 1.36-8.20, p = 0.008). Conclusions: The incidence of MACE was significantly higher in patients with untreated SAS than in those treated with CPAP and those without SAS after PCI. The present findings may highlight the importance of SAS management in patients requiring PCI.

Coronary artery disease in patients with diabetes is frequently a diffuse process with multivessel involvement and is associated with increased risk for myocardial infarction and death. The role of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) versus coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with diabetes and multivessel disease who require revascularisation has been debated and remains uncertain. The debate has been continued mainly because of the question to what degree an increased risk for in-stent restenosis among patients with diabetes contributes to other late adverse outcomes. This article reviews outcomes from early trials of balloon angioplasty versus CABG through later trials of bare-metal stents versus CABG and more recent data with drug-eluting stents as the comparator. Although not all studies have been powered to show statistical significance, the results have been generally consistent with a mortality benefit for CABG versus PCI, despite differential risks for restenosis with the various PCI approaches. The review also considers the impact of mammary artery grafting of the left anterior descending artery and individual case selection on these results, and proposes an algorithm for selection of patients in whom PCI remains a reasonable strategy.

Abstract Background Females comprise a minority of patients with chronic total occlusions (CTO). It is known that men have a greater benefit from CTO percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) than women. We aimed to determine gender-based differences in baseline characteristics and outcomes after PCI in patients with CTO. Methods The Netherlands Heart Registration (NHR) is a nationwide registry that registers outcomes of cardiac interventions. For the purpose of this analysis, the data of all patients undergoing PCI from inception of the NHR to December 2018 were selected, that included PCI with at least one CTO in one of the treated coronary arteries. We compared baseline characteristics and the outcomes 1 year mortality, 30 day myocardial infarction (MI) and target vessel revascularization (TVR) &lt;1 year between men and women. Results A total of 7560 patients were identified that underwent PCI between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2018 with at least 1 CTO in the treated vessel. A total of 5850 was male (77.4%) and 1710 was female (22.6%). Women were older (68.5±10.6 versus 64.7±10.6 years old, p&lt;0.001), and more frequently had diabetes (29.4% [n=529] versus 25.0% [n=1602], p&lt;0.001) and kidney disease (4.5% [n=529] versus 2.2% [n=142], p&lt;0.001). However, men had more extensive cardiovascular disease, i.e. multi-vessel disease (56.0% [n=3584] versus 50.4% [n=912], p&lt;0.001), previous MI (39.7% [n=2527] versus 31.0% [n=555], p&lt;0.001), previous PCI (48.2% [n=1967] versus 40.2% [n=455], p&lt;0.001) and previous coronary artery bypass grafting (16.8% [n=1085] versus 10.5% [n=191], p&lt;0.001) and more frequently presented with an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, compared to women (2.1% [n=136] versus 1.1% [n=20], p=0.004). The 1-year mortality was higher in women (10.3% versus 7.5%, p&lt;0.001), as well as the 30-day MI (0.9% versus 0.4%, p=0.043), but men had higher risk for TVR&lt;1 year (11.7% versus 9.5%, p=0.044). Corrected for age and comorbidities, female gender was an independent predictor for mortality (Figure 1; odds ratio 1.83, 95% confidence interval 1.08–3.11, p=0.025). Conclusion In this nationwide registry comprising 7560 CTO patients undergoing PCI, significant gender-based differences were found. Males were found to have more extensive cardiovascular disease. However, females were at higher risk of mortality, possibly due to higher age and higher prevalence of concomitant comorbidities. Figure 1.
