Background: Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Procedure (PPCI) results in reperfusion injury which will result in more extensive infarction. Remote Ischemic Postconditioning (RIPC) is a protective strategy to reduce the increase in the area of ​​infarction. miRNA-145 also plays a role in the protective effect of IPC and RIPC.   Research Methods: This study uses a pre and post test approach only with control group design with experimental research designs. Data is taken at the Integrated Heart Services Installation RSUP Dr. M. Djamil Padang from July to November 2019, 40 patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) performed RIPC. Bivariate analysis was performed to determine differences in levels of miRNA-145 and troponin I in STEMI patients underwent PPCI with and without RIPC using the Wilcoxon test and the Mann Whitney test.   Results:A total of 40 patients who underwent the PPCI procedure were divided into two groups PPCI + RIPC (n = 20) and PPCI without RIPC (n = 20). There were no significant differences in the basic characteristics between the two groups. There were no significant difference in escalation of median expression of miRNA-145 in PPCI+ RIPC [pre test 36.33 (27.44-52.39), post test 34.83 (27.65-65.26), p = 0.765] compared to PPCI without RIPC [pre test 31.66 (26.31-43.28), post test 33.43 (26.83-64.97), p = 0.765]. There were an increase in median troponin I levels in both groups, PPCI+ RIPC [pretest 4,104.70 (67.30-40,000.00), post test 30,448.50 (120.00-16.3192.20), p = 0.001] and PPCI without RIPC [pretest 826.50 (17.00-48.259.00), post test 42.784.50 (2,119.00-162.897.00), p = <0.001].   Conclusion:There were no significant difference in median expression of miRNA-145 in STEMI patients before and after (48 hours) underwent PPCI+RIPC and PPCI without RIPC. There were a significant difference in median levels of troponin I in STEMI patients before and after (48 hours) underwent PPCI+RIPC and PPCI without RIPC.

Objective: To investigate the clinical effect of aspirin combined with clopidogrel on acute myocardial infarction after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: One hundred thirty two patients with acute myocardial infarction who were admitted to the hospital between December 2016 and December 2017 were divided into a control group and an observation group according to random number table, 66 each group. Both groups were given emergency PCI and symptomatic treatment. The control group was given aspirin on the basis of conventional treatment before and after operation, while the observation group was given clopidogrel treatment on the basis of the treatment the same as the control group. The treatment lasted for 4 months. The clinical efficacy of the two groups was analyzed, and the cardiac function indicator, coagulation indicator and occurrence of adverse reactions were compared before and after treatment. Results: There was no thrombosis at the infarct site in coronary angiography after treatment in both groups. The efficacy in the observation group and control group were 89.4% and 81.8%, respectively; there was no significant difference between the two groups. The incidence of re-thrombosis in the two groups was 1.5% and 12.1% respectively, which was significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). The cardiac function indicator of both groups improved after treatment, especially the observation group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin activity (PA) and platelet aggregation rate (PAR) in the two groups before treatment (P>0.05). There was also no significant difference in PT and PA before and after treatment (P>0.05). The APTT and PAR were significantly different after treatment (P<0.05), and the PAR of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was 7.58%, which was not significantly different with that of the control group (12.12%) (P<0.05). Conclusion: Aspirin combined with clopidogrel can effectively reduce the occurrence of re-thrombosis after PCI and improve the recovery of cardiac function after acute operation, moreover the safety is high. It has important clinical application values. How to cite this:Zhang X, Qi L, Liu Y.

Background: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is known as a very rare possible trigger of pericarditis. Most frequently it develops after a latent period or early in the case of periprocedural complications. In this report, we present an atypical early onset of pericarditis after an uncomplicated PCI. Case Summary: A 58-year-old man was admitted to the hospital for PCI of the chronic total occlusion of the left anterior descending (LAD) artery. An initial electrocardiogram (ECG) was unremarkable. The PCI attempt was unsuccessful. There were no procedure-related complications observed at the end of the PCI attempt and the patient was symptom free. Six hours after the interventional procedure, the patient complained of severe chest pain. The ECG demonstrated ST-segment elevation in anterior and lateral leads. Troponin I was mildly elevated but a coronary angiogram did not reveal the impairment of collateral blood flow to the LAD territory. Due to pericarditic chest pain, typical ECG findings and pericardial effusion with elevated C-reactive protein, the diagnosis of acute pericarditis was established, and a course of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) was initiated. Chest pain was relieved and ST-segment elevation almost completely returned to baseline after three days of treatment. The patient was discharged in stable condition without chest pain on the fourth day after symptom onset. Conclusions: Acute pericarditis is a rare complication of PCI. Despite the lack of specific clinical manifestation, post-traumatic pericarditis should be considered in patients with symptoms and signs of pericarditis and a prior history of iatrogenic injury or thoracic trauma.

ObjectiveThe comparative efficacy and safety of prasugrel and ticagrelor in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remain unclear. We aimed to investigate the association of treatment with clinical outcomes.MethodsIn the SWEDEHEART (Swedish Web-system for enhancement and development of evidence-based care in heart disease evaluated according to recommended therapies) registry, all patients with MI treated with PCI and discharged on prasugrel or ticagrelor from 2010 to 2016 were included. Outcomes were 1-year major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE, death, MI or stroke), individual components and bleeding. Multivariable adjustment, inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) and propensity score matching (PSM) were used to adjust for confounders.ResultsWe included 37 990 patients, 2073 in the prasugrel group and 35 917 in the ticagrelor group. Patients in the prasugrel group were younger, more often admitted with ST elevation MI and more likely to have diabetes. Six to twelve months after discharge, 20% of patients in each group discontinued the P2Y12 receptor inhibitor they received at discharge. The risk for MACCE did not significantly differ between prasugrel-treated and ticagrelor-treated patients (adjusted HR 1.03, 95% CI 0.86 to 1.24). We found no significant difference in the adjusted risk for death, recurrent MI or stroke alone between the two treatments. There was no significant difference in the risk for bleeding with prasugrel versus ticagrelor (2.5% vs 3.2%, adjusted HR 0.92, 95% CI 0.69 to 1.22). IPTW and PSM analyses confirmed the results.ConclusionIn patients with MI treated with PCI, prasugrel and ticagrelor were associated with similar efficacy and safety during 1-year follow-up.
