Li W, Song Y. Red cell distribution width to albumin ratio is a risk factor for atrial fibrillation in subjects hospitalized with coronary angiography. BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2024; 24:95. [PMID: 38331757 PMCID: PMC10854169 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-024-03772-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2023] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 02/10/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Red cell distribution width to albumin ratio (RAR) has been demonstrated to be associated with the risk of cardiovascular diseases. However, it is still unknown whether the RAR affects atrial fibrillation (AF). Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the association between RAR and AF in subjects hospitalized with coronary angiography. METHODS A total of 2436 participants were retrospectively included. Red cell distribution width, albumin and other data were collected. AF was confirmed using 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) or 24-h Holter. All participants were divided into four groups according to the RAR values by quartile (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were performed to examine the correlation between RAR and AF. RESULTS Among the 2436 participants, 227 (9.3%) AF cases were observed. The RDW and RAR were significantly higher in AF group than in non-AF group (all P < 0.001). Univariate logistic regression showed an positive association between RAR and AF (P < 0.001). In multivariate logistic regression, RAR was found to be an independent risk factor of AF after adjusting for confounding factors (OR:2.015, 95%CI:1.315-3.089, P = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The present study indicated that elevated RAR level was independently correlated with increased risk of AF in subjects hospitalized with coronary angiography.

Systematic Review of the Association of the Hospital Frailty Risk Score with Mortality in Patients with Cerebrovascular and Cardiovascular Disease. Curr Cardiol Rev 2024; 20:45-62. [PMID: 38425103 DOI: 10.2174/011573403x276647240217112151] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2023] [Revised: 11/26/2023] [Accepted: 12/14/2023] [Indexed: 03/02/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND There is limited systematic data on the association between the Hospital Frailty Risk Score (HFRS) and characteristics and mortality in patients with cerebrovascular and cardiovascular disease (CVD). This systematic review aimed to summarise the use of the HFRS in describing the prevalence of frailty in patients with CVD, the clinical characteristics of patients with CVD, and the association between frailty on the likelihood of mortality in patients with CVD. METHODS A systematic literature search for observational studies using terms related to CVD, cerebrovascular disease, and the HFRS was conducted using 6 databases in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Studies were appraised using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). RESULTS Seventeen observational studies were included, all rated 'good' quality according to the NOS. One study investigated 5 different CVD cohorts (atrial fibrillation (AF), heart failure (HF), hypotension, hypertension, and chronic ischemic heart disease), 1 study investigated 2 different CVD cohorts (AF and acute myocardial infarction (AMI)), 6 studies investigated HF, 3 studies investigated AMI, 4 studies investigated stroke, 1 study investigated AF, and 1 study investigated cardiac arrest. Increasing frailty risk category was associated with increased age, female sex, and non-white racial group across all CVD. Increasing frailty risk category is also associated with increased length of hospital stay, total costs, and increased odds of 30-day all-cause mortality across all CVD. CONCLUSIONS The HFRS is an efficient and effective tool for stratifying frailty in patients with CVD and predicting adverse health outcomes.

A synergistic impact of body mass index and gamma gap on heart failure and mortality rate among older patients with coronary artery disease: a prospective study with 10-year follow-up. Nutr Diabetes 2023; 13:25. [PMID: 38052781 PMCID: PMC10697953 DOI: 10.1038/s41387-023-00255-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2023] [Revised: 11/11/2023] [Accepted: 11/20/2023] [Indexed: 12/07/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE This prospective study with 10-year follow-up aimed to analyze potential impact of body mass index (BMI) and gamma gap on heart failure and mortality rate in older patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS There were 987 consecutive older patients with CAD included and divided into four groups according to BMI and gamma gap levels. RESULTS Median age was 86 years. The highest proportion of heart failure (46.2%) and the highest mortality rate (84.4%) was observed in patients with low BMI and high gamma gap, whereas the lowest proportion of heart failure (18.9%) and the lowest mortality rate (62.9%) was observed in those with high BMI and low gamma gap. After full adjustment in multivariate Logistic regression analysis, heart failure was most common in patients with low BMI and high gamma gap compared with those with high BMI and low gamma gap (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.82, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.79-4.48, P < 0.05). Meanwhile, multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that mortality rate was the highest in those with low BMI and high gamma gap compared with patients with high BMI and low gamma gap (HR: 1.65, 95% CI: 1.32-2.07, P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The combination of low BMI and high gamma gap could further promote heart failure and increase mortality rate in older patients with CAD. Future studies should explore the underlying mechanisms linking low BMI, high gamma gap, and mortality rate, as well as the potential benefits of nutritional and immunological interventions to improve health prognosis in older patients with CAD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common arrhythmia contributing to serious conditions such as stroke and heart failure. Recent studies demonstrated that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) were related to cardiovascular disease. However, the molecular mechanisms of AF are not fully clear. This study intended to discover lncRNAs that are differentially expressed in AF compared with controls and evaluate the potential functions of these lncRNAs. METHODS Ninety-seven patients (49 patients with AF and 48 patients without AF) were included in this study. Among these patients, leucocyte suspensions of 3 AF patients and 3 controls were sent for RNA-seq analysis to select differentially expressed lncRNA and mRNA. Different lncRNA expressions were validated in another samples (46 AF patients and 45 controls). Gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis was conducted to annotate the function of selected mRNAs. Alternative splicing (AS) analysis was performed and a lncRNA-mRNA network was also constructed. The receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve was used to evaluate diagnostic values. Logistic regression analysis was utilized to assess the risk or protective factor of AF. RESULTS A total of 223 mRNAs and 105 lncRNAs were detected in AF patients compared with controls. Total 4 lncRNAs (LINC01781, AC009509.2, AL662844.3, AL662844.4) associated with AF were picked out for validation in another samples by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), detecting that upregulated AC009509.2 and downregulated LINC01781 in AF patients. Multivariate logistic regression analysis illustrated that left atrial diameter (OR 1.201; 95% CI 1.093-1.320; P=0.000) and AC009509.2 (OR 1.732; 95% CI 1.092-2.747; P=0.020) were related to AF respectively. ROC curve showed that AC009509.2, LINC01781 and left atrial diameter (LAD) were predictors of AF. For LINC01781, the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.654 (95% CI 0.541-0.767, P=0.0113). For AC009509.2, the AUC was 0.710 (95% CI 0.599-0.822, P=0.0005). Bioinformatic methods (GO enrichment, AS analysis and lncRNA-mRNA network construction) were performed to reveal the role of lncRNAs. CONCLUSIONS This study discussed differentially expressed lncRNA and their potential interaction with mRNA in AF. LncRNA AC009509.2 could be a new potential biomarker for AF prediction.

Serum fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio predicts new-onset atrial fibrillation risk during hospitalization in patients with acute myocardial infarction after percutaneous coronary intervention: a retrospective study. BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2023; 23:432. [PMID: 37658287 PMCID: PMC10474692 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-023-03480-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2023] [Accepted: 08/29/2023] [Indexed: 09/03/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND New-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) is a common adverse outcome of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and is closely correlated with hospital stay and prognosis. In recent years, serum fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio (FAR), a novel biomarker for inflammation and thrombosis, has been used to predict the severity and prognosis of coronary artery disease. Our study aimed to investigate the relationship between FAR and NOAF during hospitalization after PCI in patients with AMI. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the incidence of NOAF during hospitalization and follow-up in 670 patients with AMI after PCI. Data were collected on patient age, sex, body mass index, medical history, current medication, heart failure, laboratory tests, culprit blood vessels, echocardiographic characteristics, and AMI type. The enrolled patients were divided into NOAF and non-NOAF groups. The baseline characteristics of patients in the two groups were compared, and the predictive correlation between FAR and NOAF was evaluated using logistic regression analysis and the receiver operating characteristic curve. RESULTS Fifty-three (7.9%) patients developed NOAF during hospitalization. The occurrence of NOAF was found to be independently associated with higher FAR besides older age, higher neutrophil count, greater left atrial size, worse Killip class upon admission, lower body mass index, lower platelet count, lower left ventricle ejection fraction, and target left circumflex artery disease. FAR exhibited a better predictive value for the occurrence of NOAF during hospitalization (area under the curve, 0.732; 95% confidence interval, 0.659-0.808). CONCLUSIONS FAR is a robust tool for predicting NOAF risk during hospitalization in patients with AMI after PCI and has a better predictive value than serum fibrin and serum albumin levels alone.

Abstract
Purpose Our study aimed to identify new-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) risk factors in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients after treatment with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and investigate whether their nutritional status can be a predicting factor of NOAF. Patients and Methods We analyzed 662 AMI patients after PCI for NOAF occurrence during follow-up hospitalization and divided them into an NOAF and non-NOAF group. The patients' nutritional status was assessed using the controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score and geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI). The Kaplan‒Meier analysis was used to assess NOAF-free survival in varying degrees of malnutrition. Cox proportional hazards models were used to identify the risk factors for NOAF. Results Eighty-four (12.7%) patients developed NOAF during hospitalization. There was a statistically significant difference in the occurrence of NOAF among different categories of nutritional status. The CONUT score and GNRI classifications were independent predictors of NOAF. NOAF occurrence was associated with older age, higher uric acid levels, higher N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide levels, greater left atrial size, and worse Killip class upon admission. Conclusion The nutritional status can affect NOAF occurrence in AMI patients after PCI. The CONUT score and GNRI are ideal tools for evaluating the nutritional status of AMI patients, with an excellent predictive effect on NOAF.
