The Impact

ObjectivesTo understand the impact of COVID-19 on delivery and outcomes of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). Furthermore, to compare clinical presentation and outcomes of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) with active COVID-19 against those without COVID-19.MethodsWe systematically analysed 348 STEMI cases presenting to the PPCI programme in London during the peak of the pandemic (1 March to 30 April 2020) and compared with 440 cases from the same period in 2019. Outcomes of interest included ambulance response times, timeliness of revascularisation, angiographic and procedural characteristics, and in-hospital clinical outcomesResultsThere was a 21% reduction in STEMI admissions and longer ambulance response times (87 (62–118) min in 2020 vs 75 (57–95) min in 2019, p<0.001), but that this was not associated with a delays in achieving revascularisation once in hospital (48 (34–65) min in 2020 vs 48 (35–70) min in 2019, p=0.35) or increased mortality (10.9% (38) in 2020 vs 8.6% (38) in 2019, p=0.28). 46 patients with active COVID-19 were more thrombotic and more likely to have intensive care unit admissions (32.6% (15) vs 9.3% (28), OR 5.74 (95%CI 2.24 to 9.89), p<0.001). They also had increased length of stay (4 (3–9) days vs 3 (2–4) days, p<0.001) and a higher mortality (21.7% (10) vs 9.3% (28), OR 2.72 (95% CI 1.25 to 5.82), p=0.012) compared with patients having PPCI without COVID-19.ConclusionThese findings suggest that PPCI pathways can be maintained during unprecedented healthcare emergencies but confirms the high mortality of STEMI in the context of concomitant COVID-19 infection characterised by a heightened state of thrombogenicity.

Aim. To investigate the impact of hyperglycemia on the results of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (ASTEMI). Subjects and methods. A study group consisted of 511 patients with hyperglycemia (blood glucose level (BGL) ≥7.77 mmol/L) who underwent primary PCIs in the period from 2005 to 2015. A comparison group included 579 patients (BGL ≥7.77 mmol/L). Results. Assessment of the results of hospital interventions revealed that the mortality rates in patients with hyperglycemia proved to be higher than in those with normal BGL (6.5 and 2.6%, respectively; p=0.002). No differences were found in the rates of stent thrombosis (1 and 1.4%; p=0.541) and recurrent myocardial infarction (1.2 and 1.6%; p=0.591). Major adverse cardiac events, including death, recurrent infarction, and stent thrombosis, were more frequently determined in the hyperglycemic patients (7.6 and 4.3%; p=0.020). No-reflow phenomenon statistically significantly more frequently developed in the patients with hyperglycemia (6.8 and 3.3%; p=0.007). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that the presence of hyperglycemia served as an independent predictor of hospital mortality (odds ratio (OR) 2.6; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.4 to 4.8; p=0.002). The application of a random probability sampling technique revealed that mortality remained statistically significantly higher in the hyperglycemic patients than in the normoglycemic individuals at admission (6.7 and 2.6%; р=0.011). Conclusion. PCIs in patients with ASTEMI and hyperglycemia are characterized by higher mortality rates and the risk of major adverse cardiac events. Admission hyperglycemia is an independent predictor of hospital mortality.

<p><strong>Background and Objectives: </strong>To investigate the effects of atorvastatin (ATV) and trimetazidine (TMZ) combination treatment in patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. <strong></strong></p><p><strong>Subjects and Methods: </strong>A total of 92 patients with NSTE-ACS were randomly divided into the pretreatment with ATV group (80mg 12h before PCI, with a further 20mg every day to 30th days after PCI, n=44) or the pretreatment with ATV (as the ATV group) and TMZ (60mg 30min before PCI, with a further 20mg tid to 30th days after PCI, n=48). Echocardiography was executed and plasma N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) levels were measured just prior to the PCI and 30th days after PCI. The main end point was a 30-day incidence of major adverse cardiac events.</p><p><strong>Result: </strong>Major adverse cardiac events occurred in 9.1% of patients in the ATV group and 4.2% of those in the ATV+TMZ group (P=0.189). NT-pro-BNP of the two groups were decreased 30th days after PCI, however, NT-pro-BNP in the ATV+TMZ group were significantly lower than those in the ATV group (P&lt;0.05). Cardiac function in NSTE-ACS patients, as reflected by the increased LVEF, FS as well as decreased LVEDd (P&lt;0.05) in all groups at 30 days after intervention, but cardiac function parameters were more obviously improved in the group administered with ATV+TMZ (p&lt;0.05).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Short-term pretreatment with the combination of ATV and TMZ administration prior to PCI can prominently decrease NT-pro-BNP and improve cardiac function compared to a single administration of the ATV. </p>
