Background— Bone marrow CD133-postive (CD133 + ) cells possess high hematopoietic and angiogenic capacity. We tested the feasibility, safety, and functional effects of the use of enriched CD133 + progenitor cells after intracoronary administration in patients with recent myocardial infarction. Methods and Results— Among 35 patients with acute myocardial infarction treated with stenting, 19 underwent intracoronary administration of CD133 + progenitor cells (12.6±2.2×10 6 cells) 11.6±1.4 days later (group 1) and 16 did not (group 2). At 4 months, left ventricular ejection fraction increased significantly in group 1 (from 45.0±2.6% to 52.1±3.5%, P <0.05), but only tended to increase in case-matched group 2 patients (from 44.3±3.1% to 48.6±3.6%, P =NS). Likewise, left ventricular regional chordae shortening increased in group 1 (from 11.5±1.0% to 16.1±1.3%, P <0.05) but remained unchanged in group 2 patients (from 11.1±1.1% to 12.7±1.3%, P =NS). This was paralleled by reduction in the perfusion defect in group 1 (from 28.0±4.1% to 22.5±4.1%, P <0.05) and no change in group 2 (from 25.0±3.0% to 22.6±4.1%, P =NS). In group 1, two patients developed in-stent reocclusion, 7 developed in-stent restenosis, and 2 developed significant de novo lesion of the infarct-related artery. In group 2, four patients showed in-stent restenosis. In group 1 patients without reocclusion, glucose uptake shown by positron emission tomography with 18 fluorodeoxyglucose in the infarct-related territory increased from 51.2±2.6% to 57.5±3.5% ( P <0.05). No stem cell-related arrhythmias were noted, either clinically or during programmed stimulation studies at 4 months. Conclusion— In patients with recent myocardial infarction, intracoronary administration of enriched CD133 + cells is feasible but was associated with increased incidence of coronary events. Nevertheless, it seems to be associated with improved left ventricular performance paralleled with increased myocardial perfusion and viability.

Abstract Background Myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) constitutes about 10% of the cases of acute coronary syndromes (ACS). It is a working diagnosis and requires further diagnostics to determine the cause of ACS. Methods In this study, 178 patients were initially diagnosed with MINOCA over a period of 3 years at the Department of Invasive Cardiology of the University Clinical Hospital in Białystok. The value of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated for all patients. The patients were divided into 2 groups depending on the value of eGFR: group 1—53 patients with impaired kidney function (eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2; 29.8%) and group 2—125 patients with normal kidney function (eGFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2; 70.2%). Results In group 1, the mean age of patients was significantly higher than that of group 2 patients (77.40 vs 59.27; p < 0.0001). Group had more women than group 2 (73.58% vs 49.60%; p = 0.003). Group 1 patients had higher incidence rate of arterial hypertension (92.45% vs 60.80%; p < 0.0001) and diabetes (32.08% vs 9.60%; p = 0.0002) and smoked cigarettes (22.64% vs 40.80%; p = 0.020). Group 1 patients had higher incidence rate of pulmonary edema, cardiogenic shock, sudden cardiac arrest (13.21% vs 4.00%; p = 0.025), and pneumonia (22.64% vs 6.40%; p = 0.001). After the 37-month observation, the mortality rate of the patients with MINOCA was 16.85%. Among group two patients, more of them became deceased during hospitalization (7.55% vs 0.80%; p = 0.012), followed by after 1 year (26.42% vs 7.20%; p = 0.0004) and after 3 years (33.96% vs 9.6%; p < 0.0001). Multivariate analysis revealed that the factors increasing the risk of death in MINOCA are as follows: older age, low eGFR, higher creatinine concentration, low left ventricular ejection fraction, and ST elevation in ECG. Conclusion Impaired kidney function is diagnosed in every third patient with MINOCA. Early and late prognosis of patents with MINOCA and renal dysfunction is poor, and their 3-year mortality is comparable to patients with myocardial infarction with significant stenosis of the coronary arteries and impaired kidney function.

Background: In this study, we present one-year results of drug-eluting balloon treatment of femoropopliteal in-stent restenosis. Methods: A total of 62 patients (48 males, 14 females; mean age 64.2±9.1 years; range, 54 to 81 years) who underwent drug-eluting balloon stenting for femoropopliteal in-stent restenosis between August 2013 and October 2017 were included in the study. The patients were classified into three groups based on the narrowing length of stenosis in the stents. Group/Class 1 (n=17): narrowing <1/2 of the stent length; Group/Class 2 (n=22): narrowing >1/2 of the stent length, not totally occluded; and Group/Class 3 (n=23): totally occluded. In-stent restenosis was treated with drug-eluting balloon treatment. Results: There was a significant difference among all classes in terms of in-stent restenosis. The length of stenosis was a predictor for in-stent restenosis. The mean stent length was 107.7±24.6 mm in Group 1, 164.6±17.9 mm in Group 2, and 180±19.3 mm in Group 3. For non-occluded in-stent restenosis, restenosis rate at one year after balloon angioplasty was 47.1% in Group 1, 86.4% in Group 2, and 95.7% in Group 3. Femoropopliteal bypass was performed in five patients in whom treatment failed. None of the patients required amputation. Conclusion: The length of in-stent restenosis in the femoropopliteal arterial stents is an important predictor for recurrent stenosis, when re-flow is achieved with drug-eluting balloons.

AbstractBackground:The acute loss of myocardium, following an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) leads to an abrupt increase in the loading conditions that induces a pattern of left ventricular remodeling (LVR). It has been shown that remodeling occurs rapidly and progressively within weeks after the AMI.Study aim:The aim of our study was to identify predictors for LVR, and find correlations between them and the cardiovascular (CV) risk factors that lead to remodeling.Material and methods:One hundred and five AMI patients who underwent primary PCI were included in the study. A 2-D echocardiography was performed at baseline (day 1 ± 3 post-MI) and at 6 months follow-up. The LV remodeling index (RI), was defined as the difference between the Left Ventricular End-Diastolic diameter (LVEDD) at 6 months and at baseline. The patients were divided into 2 groups, according to the RI: Group 1 – RI >15% with positive remodeling (n = 23); Group 2 – RI ≤15% with no remodeling (n = 82).Results:The mean age was 63.26 ± 2.084 years for Group 1 and 59.72 ± 1.267 years for Group 2. The most significant predictor of LVR was the female gender (Group 1 – 52% vs. Group 2 – 18%, p <0.0001). Men younger than 50 years showed a lower rate of LVR (Group1 – 9% vs. Group 2 – 20%, p = 0.0432). In women, age over 65 years was a significant predictor for LVR (Group 1 – 26% vs. Group 2 – 9%, p = 0.0025). The CV risk factors associated with LVR were: smoking (p = 0.0008); obesity (p = 0.013); dyslipidemia (p = 0.1184). The positive remodeling group had a higher rate of LAD stenosis compared to the no-remodeling group (48% vs. 26%, p = 0.002). The presence of multi-vessel disease was shown to be higher in Group 1 (26% vs. 9%, p = 0.0025). The echocardiographic parameters that predicted LVR were: LVEF <45% (p = 0.048), mitral regurgitation (p = 0.022), and interventricular septum hypertrophy (p <0.0001).Conclusions:The CV risk factors correlated with LVR were smoking, obesity and dyslipidemia. A >50% stenosis in the LAD and the presence of multi-vessel CAD were found to be significant predictors for LVR. The most powerful predictors of LVR following AMI were: LVEF <45%, mitral regurgitation, and interventricular septum hypertrophy.

Functional significance of collateral circulation was evaluated in 125 patients with total coronary occlusion. Patients were classified into 2 groups: group 1, patients without myocardial infarction; and group 2, patients with a first transmural myocardial infarction occurring within 3 months of symptom onset. There was a higher prevalence of well-developed collaterals and multivessel disease in patients without myocardial infarction than in those with myocardial infarction. The left ventricular ejection fraction, left ventricular enddiastolic pressure, and segmental wall motion scores were significantly better in group 1 than group 2. Despite total coronary occlusion, 61% of group 1 had a normal resting electrocardiogram; however, 96% of patients who underwent treadmill tests proved positive. The proportions of well-developed collaterals in 3 groups, divided according to the internal between onset of myocardial infarction and angiography (within 1 day of operation, 2 to 14 days, or 15 days to 3 months), were 13%, 54%, and 60%. There were no significant differences in left ventricular ejection fraction, segmental wall motion score, and left ventricular enddiastolic pressure in myocardial infarction patients with poorly developed collaterals and well-developed collaterals. The degree of collateral development is higher in myocardial infarction with right coronary artery occlusion compared with that of left anterior descending artery occlusion, without regarding the dominancy or length. Collateral circulation can prevent myocardial ischemia and present myocardial function in a significant number of patients without infarction; however, it does not provide protection against exercise-induced myocardial ischemia in the majority of patients from group 1. Although well-developed collaterals are not usually present within 1 day after myocardial infarction, they are generally present after 2 weeks. Collateral vessels in patients with myocardial infarction have no beneficial effects on preserving myocardial function.

Abstract Background: The impact of nutritional status on the early outcome of subjects with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is still not completely elucidated. This study aimed to assess the correlation between nutritional status, as expressed by the CONUT and PIN scores, and (1) clinical and laboratory characteristics, (2) complication rates, and (3) length of hospitalization, in patients with AMI. Materials and methods: We included 56 consecutive patients with AMI who underwent primary percutaneous intervention and stenting. Evaluation of the nutritional status was comprised in the calculation of the CONUT and PNI scores. The study population was divided into 2 groups according to the calculated CONUT score, as follows: group 1 – CONUT score <3 points (normal to mildly impaired nutritional status) and group 2 – CONUT score ≥3 points (moderate to severe malnutrition). The primary end-point of the study was the rate of in-hospital complications (left ventricular free wall rupture, hemodynamic instability requiring inotropic medication, high-degree atrioventricular block, the need for temporary cardiostimulation, supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias and in-hospital cardiac arrest). The secondary end-points included the duration of hospitalization and the length of stay in the intensive cardiac care unit. Results: In total, 56 patients (44.64% with STEMI, 55.35% with NSTEMI) with a mean age of 61.96 ± 13.42 years, 58.92% males were included in the study. Group distribution was: group 1 – 76.78% (n = 43), group 2 – 23.21% (n = 23). There were no differences between the two groups regarding age, gender, cardiovascular risk factors, or comorbidities. PNI index in group 1 was 54.4 ± 10.4 and in group 2 41.1 ± 2.8, p <0.0001. Serum albumin was significantly lower in group 1 – 4.1 ± 0.3 vs. group 2 – 3.6 ± 0.3 (p <0.0001), similarly to total cholesterol levels (group 1 – 194.9 ± 41.5 vs. group 2 – 161.2 ± 58.2, p = 0.02). The complete blood cell count showed that group 2 presented lower levels of hematocrit (p = 0.003), hemoglobin (p = 0.002), and lymphocytes (p <0.0001) compared to group 1, but a significantly higher platelet count (p = 0.001), mean platelet volume (p = 0.03), neutrophil/lymphocyte (p <0.0001) and platelet/lymphocyte (p <0.0001) ratios, indicating enhanced blood thrombogenicity and inflammation. Regarding in-hospital complications, group 2 presented a higher rate of hemodynamic instability (group 1 – 11.6% vs. group 2 – 38.4%, p = 0.02). The overall hospitalization period was 7.7 ± 1.4 days in group 1 vs. 10.2 ± 4.8 days in group 2, p = 0.06; while the duration of stay in the intensive cardiac care unit was 2.6 ± 0.5 days in group 1 vs. 4.0 ± 2.5 days in group 2, p = 0.02. Conclusions: This study proved that nutritional deficit in acute myocardial patients who undergo revascularization is associated with an increased rate of in-hospital complications and with a longer observation time in a tertiary intensive cardiac care unit.

Aim. To evaluate the effect of culprit coronary artery revascularization after 48 hours from the symptoms’ onset on the prognosis of patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).Material and methods. Of the 1172 patients admitted to City Clinical Hospital № 13 in 2018 due to STEMI, 43 patients (4%) were included in the retrospective study. There were following inclusion criteria: hospitalization after 48 hours from the symptoms’ onset, no clinical signs of myocardial ischemia, and complete coronary artery occlusion according to angiography. The mean age of the subjects was 61,3±10,6 years, 34 (79%) men and 9 (21%) women. The subjects were divided into two groups: group 1 (n=22) — management with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), group 2 (n=21) — management with medications. The groups differ only in the severity of coronary atherosclerosis according to SYNTAX score: group 1 — 14,0 [11.0; 19.5], group 2 — 26,0 [16,5; 31,0] (p=0,009). At the end of inpatient treatment, patients underwent echocardiography. Death and myocardial infarction were monitored during hospitalization and for 12 months after discharge.Results. During hospitalization, 2 patients died (4,7%; one in each group, p=1,00). No recurrent MI were reported. The left ventricular ejection fraction in the PCI group was 50 [46; 54] %, in the group with drug therapy — 43 [38; 50] % (p=0,01). Out of 43 included patients, long-term outcomes were followed up in 32 (74%). Among them, 1 (5,8%) patient died in group 1, 6 (33,3%) patients — in group 2 (p=0,04). In total, death or recurrent MI in the first group was observed in 2 (12%) patients, in the second group — in 5 (33%) patients (p=0,14).Conclusion. Revascularization of a fully occluded culprit coronary artery in stable patients with STEMI after 48 hours of symptoms’ onset is associated with a higher inhospital left ventricular ejection fraction and a decrease in 12-month mortality.

To investigate the secretion of the plasma levels of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), we evaluated the relationship between plasma levels of ANP and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) in 45 consecutive patients during the acute phase of AMI (∼12 h after the attack) ( group 1) and compared data with those obtained after 1 mo ( group 2). In both groups 1and 2, plasma ANP levels significantly correlated with PCWP. The slope of the linear regression line between the PCWP and ANP in group 1 was significantly lower, by about one-third, than that in group 2. In addition, we examined changes in ANP levels and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) over 180 min after AMI induced by injection of microspheres into the left coronary arteries of three dogs. The LVEDP and ANP levels 30 min after AMI were significantly higher than those before; however, despite the persistent high LVEDP during the 180 min after AMI, ANP levels decreased gradually and significantly to 63% of the peak level at 150 min. These findings suggest that the secretion of ANP during the acute phase of myocardial infarction may be insufficient relative to the chronic phase.
