Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Foundation. Main funding source(s): Lundbeck Foundation OnBehalf Critical Cardiac Care Research Group Background Approximately half of all patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMICS) present with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Cardiogenic shock due to OHCA is caused by abrupt cessation of circulation, whereas AMICS without OHCA is due to cardiac failure with low cardiac output. Thus, there may also be differences between the two conditions in terms of blood borne biomarkers. Purpose To explore the potential differences in the admission plasma concentrations of biomarkers reflecting tissue perfusion (lactate), neuroendocrine response (mid-regional proadrenomedullin [MRproADM], Copeptin, pro-atrial natriuretic peptide [proANP]), endothelial damage (Syndecan-1, soluble thrombomodulin [sTM]), inflammation (soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 [sST2]) and kidney injury (neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin [NGAL]), in patients with AMICS presenting with or without OHCA. Method Consecutive patients admitted for acute coronary angiography due to suspected ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) were enrolled during a 1-year period. A total of 2,713 patients were screened. In the present study 86 patients with confirmed STEMI and CS at admission were included. Results Patients with OHCA (had significantly higher median admission concentrations of Lactate (6,9 mmol/L vs. 3.4 mmol/L p <0.001), NGAL (220 ng/ml  vs 150 ng/ml p = 0.046), sTM (10 ng/ml vs. 8.0  ng/ml p = 0.026) and Syndecan-1 (160 ng/ml vs. 120 ng/ml p= 0.015) and significantly lower concentrations of MR-proADM (0.85 nmol/L  vs. 1.6 nmol/L p <0.001) and sST2 (39 ng/ml vs. 62 ng/ml p < 0.001).  After adjusting for age, sex, and time from symptom onset to coronary angiography, lactate (p = 0.008), NGAL (p = 0.03) and sTM (p = 0.011) were still significantly higher in patients presenting with OHCA while sST2 was still significantly lower (p = 0.029). There was very little difference in 30-day mortality between the OHCA and non-OHCA groups (OHCA 37% vs. non-OHCA 38%). Conclusion Patients with STEMI and CS at admission with or without concomitant OHCA had similar 30-day mortality but differed in terms of Lactate, NGAL, sTM and sST2 levels at the time of admission to catheterization laboratory. These findings propose that non-OHCA and OHCA patients with CS could be considered as two individual clinical entities. Abstract Figure. Level of biomarkers OHCA vs. non-OHCA

Introduction: Racial disparities in outcomes of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and cardiac arrest (CA) exist. This study assessed the racial differences in the management and outcomes of CA complicating AMI to better inform clinical care. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that racial minorities would have worse outcomes with AMI-CA as compared to white patients. Methods: During 2012-2017, AMI admissions with a concomitant diagnosis of CA were identified from the National Inpatient Sample. Race was classified as white, black and others (Hispanic, Asian or Pacific Islander, Native American, Others). The primary outcome was racial disparities in in-hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes included racial disparities in invasive procedures and hospitalization characteristics. Results: We identified 3,504,225 admissions for AMI in the study period, of which 182,750 (5.2%) were complicated by CA. 74.8% were white, 10.7% were black and 14.5% belonged to other races. Black and other race AMI-CA admissions received less frequent early coronary angiography (41.4% vs 50.2% vs 52.8%), coronary angiography (61.9% vs 70.2% vs. 73.1% %), PCI (44.6% vs 53.0% vs 58.1%), CABG and mechanical circulatory support compared to white and other races. The mean time to coronary angiography was highest among blacks (3.4 ± 4.2 days) and lowest among whites (3.0 ± 3.7 days). Black and other races had significantly higher unadjusted mortality, however in a multivariable logistic regression analysis with white race as referent, black race was associated with lower in-hospital mortality (OR 0.95 [95% CI 0.91-0.99]; p =0.007) whereas other races had higher in-hospital mortality (OR 1.11 [95% CI 1.08-1.15]; p <0.001) compared to white race. AMI-CA admissions of black race had longer length of hospital stay, higher rates of palliative care consultation, less frequent DNR status use, and fewer discharges to home. Admissions of other races had higher use of DNR status and higher hospitalization costs compared to whites and blacks. Conclusions: Significant racial disparities exist in in-hospital mortality among AMI admissions complicated with CA. Further quantitative and qualitative research into the equitable care of racial minorities with AMI-CA is needed to address this disparity.
