Abstract
PURPOSE Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) carries a relatively poor prognosis and requires multimodal prognostication to guide clinical decisions. Identification of previously unrecognized metabolic routes associated with patient outcome may contribute to future biomarker discovery. In OHCA, inhaled xenon elicits neuro- and cardioprotection. However, the metabolic effects remain unknown. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this post-hoc study of the randomised, 2-group, single-blind, phase 2 Xe-Hypotheca trial, 110 OHCA survivors were randomised 1:1 to receive targeted temperature management (TTM) at 33°C with or without inhaled xenon during 24 h. Blood samples for nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy metabolic profiling were drawn upon admission, at 24 and 72 h. RESULTS At 24 h, increased lactate, adjusted hazard-ratio 2.25, 95% CI [1.53; 3.30], p<0.001, and decreased branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) leucine 0.64 [0.5; 0.82], p = 0.007, and valine 0.37 [0.22; 0.63], p = 0.003, associated with 6-month mortality. At 72 h, increased lactate 2.77 [1.76; 4.36], p<0.001, and alanine 2.43 [1.56; 3.78], p = 0.001, and decreased small HDL cholesterol ester content (S-HDL-CE) 0.36 [0.19; 0.68], p = 0.021, associated with mortality. No difference was observed between xenon and control groups. CONCLUSIONS In OHCA patients receiving TTM with or without xenon, high lactate and alanine and decreased BCAAs and S-HDL-CE associated with increased mortality. It remains to be established whether current observations on BCAAs, and possibly alanine and lactate, could reflect neural damage via their roles in the metabolism of the neurotransmitter glutamate. Xenon did not significantly alter the measured metabolic profile, a potentially beneficial attribute in the context of compromised ICU patients. TRIAL REGISTRATION Trial Registry number: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00879892.

Impact of Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Levels at Acute Coronary Syndrome Admission on Long-Term Clinical Outcomes. J Atheroscler Thromb 2024; 31:444-460. [PMID: 37821363 PMCID: PMC10999725 DOI: 10.5551/jat.64368] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2023] [Accepted: 08/21/2023] [Indexed: 10/13/2023] Open
Abstract
AIM Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level reduction is highly effective in preventing the occurrence of a cardiovascular event. Contrariwise, an inverse association exists between LDL-C levels and prognosis in some patients with cardiovascular diseases-the so-called "cholesterol paradox." This study aimed to investigate whether the LDL-C level on admission affects the long-term prognosis in patients who develop acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and to examine factors associated with poor prognosis in patients with low LDL-C levels. METHODS We enrolled 410 statin-naïve patients with ACS, whom we divided into low- and high-LDL-C groups based on an admission LDL-C cut-off (obtained from the Youden index) of 122 mg/dL. Endothelial function was assessed using the reactive hyperemia index 1 week after statin initiation. The primary composite endpoint included all-cause death, as well as myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke occurrences. RESULTS During a median follow-up period of 6.1 years, 76 patients experienced the primary endpoint. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that patients in the low LDL-C group had a 2.3-fold higher risk of experiencing the primary endpoint than those in the high LDL-C group (hazard ratio, 2.34; 95% confidence interval, 1.29-4.27; p=0.005). In the low LDL-C group, slow gait speed (frailty), elevated chronic-phase high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels (chronic inflammation), and endothelial dysfunction were significantly associated with the primary endpoint. CONCLUSIONS Patients with low LDL-C levels at admission due to ACS had a significantly worse long-term prognosis than those with high LDL-C levels; frailty, chronic inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction were poor prognostic factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evaluating the Achilles tendon thickness (ATT) may be beneficial for risk stratification of long-term secondary cardiovascular events among patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS This observational study evaluated major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs), including cardiovascular death/death from unknown causes, at 5 years after PCI according to the baseline ATT (≥9 mm vs. <9 mm). RESULTS Overall, 355 patients aged ≥75 years were enrolled; 47 (13.2 %) and 308 patients (86.8 %) had an ATT ≥9 mm and <9 mm, respectively. The incidence of MACCEs at 5 years was numerically higher but not significantly different for the ATT ≥9 mm group compared with the ATT <9 mm group (Gray's p-value = 0.10). However, the incidence of cardiovascular death/death from unknown causes at 5 years was significantly higher in the ATT ≥9 mm group than in the ATT <9 mm group (Gray's p-value = 0.034). Multivariable Fine and Gray competing risk analysis showed that an ATT ≥9 mm was associated with both MACCEs [hazard ratio (HR), 1.95; 95 % confidence interval (CI), 1.12-3.41; p-value = 0.019] and cardiovascular death/death from unknown causes (HR, 2.81; 95 % CI, 1.31-6.03; p-value = 0.008) at 5 years in patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥30 mL/min/1.73 m2. CONCLUSIONS A significantly thick Achilles tendon could be a marker for MACCEs, including cardiovascular death/death from unknown causes, at 5 years among elderly patients with an eGFR ≥30 mL/min/1.73 m2 after PCI.

Abstract
Background and Aims Lipid metabolism is altered in systemic sclerosis (SSc), mediating activation of immune cells and fibroblasts. However, it is unclear whether altered lipid profile is associated with a risk of developing SSc. We aimed to assess the association between lipid profile and risk of incident SSc. Methods From a Korean nationwide database, individuals without SSc who underwent national health check-ups in 2009 were selected and followed-up through 2019. Serum levels of total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and triglyceride were measured on the health check-up date in 2009. Individuals who developed SSc during follow-up were identified. Multivariable Cox models were performed to estimate the risk of incident SSc according to TC, HDL-C, LDL-C, and triglyceride levels, respectively. Results Of the 9,894,996 individuals selected, 1355 individuals developed SSc during a mean follow-up of 9.2 years (incidence rate=1.49 per 100,000 person-years). Levels of TC (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 0.959, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.945-0.974), HDL-C (aHR 0.968, 95% CI 0.950-0.987), LDL-C (aHR 0.968, 95% CI 0.952-0.983) were inversely associated with the risk of incident SSc, whereas no significant association was observed between levels of triglyceride (aHR 1.004, 95% CI 0.998-1.011) and risk of incident SSc. Conclusion Serum levels of TC, HDL-C, and LDL-C were inversely associated with the risk of incident SSc. Our findings provide new insights that altered lipid profile could be considered a non-causal biomarker associated with incident SSc, which could help early diagnosis. The underlying mechanism for this association needs further studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease increases with levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). Yet, a paradox may exist where lower LDL-C levels at myocardial infarction (MI) are associated with poorer prognoses. OBJECTIVE To assess the association between LDL-C levels at MI with risk factor burden and cause-specific outcomes. METHODS Statin-naive patients hospitalized for a first MI and registered in SWEDEHEART were included. Data were linked to Swedish registers. Primary outcomes were all-cause mortality and nonfatal MI. Associations between LDL-C and outcomes were assessed using adjusted proportional hazards models. RESULTS Among 63,168 patients (median age, 66 years), the median LDL-C level was 3.0 mmol/L (interquartile range 2.4-3.6). Patient age and comorbidities increased as LDL-C decreased. During a median follow-up of 4.5 years, 10,236 patients died, and 4973 had nonfatal MI. Patients with the highest LDL-C had a lower risk of mortality (hazard ratio [HR] 0.75; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.71-0.80). The risk of hospitalization for pneumonia, hip fracture, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and new cancer diagnosis was lower with higher LDL-C (HR range, 0.40-0.81). Patients with the highest LDL-C had a greater risk of recurrent MI (HR 1.16; 95% CI 1.07-1.26). CONCLUSIONS Patients with the highest LDL-C levels at MI had the lowest incidence of mortality and morbidity. This seems to reflect lower age at MI, less underlying morbidities, paired with the modifiability of LDL-C. However, supporting the causal association between LDL-C and ischemic heart disease, elevated LDL-C was simultaneously associated with an increased risk of nonfatal MI.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) continue to be the main cause of death in our country. Adequate control of lipid metabolism disorders is a key challenge in cardiovascular prevention that is far from being achieved in real clinical practice. There is a great heterogeneity in the reports of lipid metabolism from Spanish clinical laboratories, which may contribute to its poor control. For this reason, a working group of the main scientific societies involved in the care of patients at vascular risk, has prepared this document with a consensus proposal on the determination of the basic lipid profile in cardiovascular prevention, recommendations for its realization and unification of criteria to incorporate the lipid control goals appropriate to the vascular risk of the patients in the laboratory reports.

HDL Subclasses and the Distribution of Paraoxonase-1 Activity in Patients with ST-Segment Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24119384. [PMID: 37298334 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24119384] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2023] [Revised: 05/14/2023] [Accepted: 05/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/12/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of this multicentric study was to assess the impacts of oxidative stress, inflammation, and the presence of small, dense, low-density lipoproteins (sdLDL) on the antioxidative function of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) subclasses and the distribution of paraoxonase-1 (PON1) activity within HDL in patients with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI). In 69 STEMI patients and 67 healthy control subjects, the lipoproteins' subclasses were separated using polyacrylamide gradient (3-31%) gel electrophoresis. The relative proportion of sdLDL and each HDL subclass was evaluated by measuring the areas under the peaks of densitometric scans. The distribution of the relative proportion of PON1 activity within the HDL subclasses (pPON1 within HDL) was estimated using the zymogram method. The STEMI patients had significantly lower proportions of HDL2a and HDL3a subclasses (p = 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively) and lower pPON1 within HDL3b (p = 0.006), as well as higher proportions of HDL3b and HDL3c subclasses (p = 0.013 and p < 0.001, respectively) and higher pPON1 within HDL2 than the controls. Independent positive associations between sdLDL and pPON1 within HDL3a and between malondialdehyde (MDA) and pPON1 within HDL2b were shown in the STEMI group. The increased oxidative stress and increased proportion of sdLDL in STEMI are closely related to the compromised antioxidative function of small HDL3 particles and the altered pPON1 within HDL.

Abstract
Las enfermedades cardiovasculares (ECV) siguen siendo la principal causa de muerte en nuestro país. El control adecuado de las alteraciones del metabolismo lipídico es un reto clave en prevención cardiovascular que está lejos de alcanzarse en la práctica clínica real. Existe una gran heterogeneidad en los informes del metabolismo lipídico de los laboratorios clínicos españoles, lo que puede contribuir al mal control del mismo. Por ello, un grupo de trabajo de las principales sociedades científicas implicadas en la atención de los pacientes de riesgo vascular, hemos elaborado este documento con una propuesta básica de consenso sobre la determinación del perfil lipídico básico en prevención cardiovascular, recomendaciones para su realización y unificación de criterios para incorporar los objetivos de control lipídico adecuados al riesgo vascular de los pacientes en los informes de laboratorio.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Data regarding the relationship between malnutrition and clinical outcomes of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is limited. The study aims to evaluate the clinical impact of malnutrition in AMI patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS AND RESULTS The COREA-AMI registries identified 10,161 AMI patients who underwent PCI from January 2004 to August 2014. Patients with geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) scores of <82, 82 to <92, 92 to <98, and ≥98 were categorized as having severe, moderate, mild malnutrition risk, and absence of risk, respectively. Associations of GNRI with Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) 3 or 5 bleeding, all-cause death, and major cardiovascular events (MACEs; a composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or ischemic stroke) were evaluated. Over 50% of AMI patients were malnourished, with 25.0%, 22.7%, and 4.9% having mild, moderate, and severe malnutrition risks, respectively. Over a median 4.9-year follow-up, patients with malnutrition risk had higher risks of BARC 3 or 5 bleeding (adjusted hazard ratios [aHRs], 1.27, 1.55, and 2.02 for mild, moderate, and severe, respectively; p < 0.001), all-cause death (aHRs, 1.26, 1.46, and 1.85 for mild, moderate, and severe, respectively; p < 0.001), and MACEs (aHRs, 1.14, 1.32, and 1.67 for mild, moderate, and severe, respectively; p < 0.001) than patients without risk. CONCLUSION Elevated malnutrition risk was common among AMI patients undergoing PCI and was strongly associated with a higher risk of major bleeding, all-cause death, and major ischemic events.

Abstract
Background: In the emergent situation of COVID-19, off-label therapies and newly developed vaccines may bring the patients more adverse drug event (ADE) risks. Data mining based on spontaneous reporting systems (SRSs) is a promising and efficient way to detect potential ADEs to help health professionals and patients get rid of the risk. Objective: This pharmacovigilance study aimed to investigate the ADEs of some attractive drugs (i.e., "hot drugs" in this study) in COVID-19 prevention and treatment based on the data from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) adverse event reporting system (FAERS). Methods: The FAERS ADE reports associated with COVID-19 from the 2nd quarter of 2020 to the 2nd quarter of 2022 were retrieved with hot drugs and frequent ADEs were recognized. A combination of support, lower bound of 95% confidence interval (CI) of the proportional reporting ratio (PRR) was applied to detect significant hot drug and ADE signals by the Python programming language on the Jupyter notebook. Results: A total of 66,879 COVID-19 associated cases were retrieved with 22 hot drugs and 1,109 frequent ADEs on the "preferred term" (PT) level. The algorithm finally produced 992 significant ADE signals on the PT level among which unexpected signals such as "hypofibrinogenemia" of tocilizumab and "disease recurrence" of nirmatrelvir\ritonavir stood out. A picture of signals on the "system organ class" (SOC) level was also provided for a comprehensive understanding of these ADEs. Conclusion: Data mining is a promising and efficient way to assist pharmacovigilance work, and the result of this study could help timely recognize ADEs in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the impact of total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) on long-term all-cause mortality (ACM) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and controls. DESIGN Matched case-control study with 8-year follow-up. SETTING Vastmanland County Hospital, Vasteras, Sweden. PARTICIPANTS Consecutive patients with AMI admitted to the coronary care unit from March 2005 to May 2010 and age-matched and sex-matched controls from the general population. OUTCOME MEASURES ACM. RESULTS Person-year at risk among patients with AMI and controls was 11 667 (cases: 5780 and controls: 5887). During follow-up, 199 patients and 84 controls died, implying 3.4 deaths among patients and 1.4 among controls per 100 person-years at risk. Unadjusted Cox analyses showed significantly increasing mortality by decreasing TC and LDL-C levels in both patients (HR=0.70, 95% CI 0.62 to 0.79, p<0.001, and HR=0.64, 95% CI 0.56 to 0.74, p<0.001) and controls (HR=0.73, 95% CI 0.60 to 0.89, p=0.002, and HR=0.74, 95% CI 0.59 to 0.93, p=0.010). After adjusting for clinical variables, the results for the patients remained significant. Cox analyses of the relations between mortality and TC and LDL-C below and above their respective medians revealed the following pattern. PATIENTS below medians were TC and LDL-C levels significantly inversely related to mortality; above medians there were no relations with mortality. CONTROLS below medians were TC and LDL-C levels significantly inversely related to mortality; above medians were LDL-C levels significantly positively related to mortality. Mean LDL-C level in patients with blood sampled >12 hours after symptom onset was 0.41 mmol/L lower than that in patients with blood sampled ≤12 hours (p=0.030). This LDL-C decrease was reasonably caused by ongoing AMI and reflects the difference in LDL-C levels between patients and controls. CONCLUSIONS In patients with AMI, lower TC and LDL-C levels independently predict higher ACM. In their controls, LDL-C levels above the median independently predict higher ACM. This study adds to the body of evidence supporting the existence of a cholesterol paradox.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Triglyceride (TG) and its related metabolic indices, all recognized as surrogates of insulin resistance, have been demonstrated to be relevant to clinical prognosis. However, the relative value of these TG-related indices for predicting cardiovascular events among patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) has not been examined. METHODS The TG, the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, the atherogenic index of plasma, TG to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio, and the lipoprotein combine index were assessed in 1694 ACS patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE), which was the composite of all-cause mortality, stroke, myocardial infarction, or unplanned repeat revascularization. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 31 months, 345 patients (20.4%) had MACE. The risk of the MACE was increased with higher TG and the four TG-derived metabolic indices [TG-adjusted hazard ratio (HR) = 1.002, 95% CI: 1.001-1.003; TyG index-adjusted HR = 1.736, 95% CI: 1.398-2.156; atherogenic index of plasma-adjusted HR = 2.513, 95% CI: 1.562-4.043; TG to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio-adjusted HR = 1.148, 95% CI: 1.048-1.258; and lipoprotein combine index-adjusted HR = 1.009, 95% CI: 1.004-1.014; P < 0.001 for all indices]. TG and all the four indices significantly improved the predictive ability for MACE in addition to the baseline model. Among them, TyG index showed the best ability for predicting MACE compared with the other three indices from all the three measurements ( P < 0.05 for all comparison). CONCLUSIONS TG and TG-derived metabolic indices were all strongly associated with MACE among ACS patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Among all the indices, TyG index showed the best ability to predict the risk of MACE.

Abstract
Background Atherosclerosis plays an important role in the pathophysiology of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). CD36 is a scavenger receptor involved in lipid metabolism. Some single‐nucleotide variants in the non‐coding region could indirectly alter the expression and the function of the protein. Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the gene and protein expression associated with CD36 variants (rs1194182;C > G; rs1049654;C > A, rs1334512;G > T, and rs3211892;G > A) in ACS patients from the western Mexican population. Methods We recruited 310 ACS patients and 308 subjects in the control group (CG). Genotyping was determined by TaqMan SNP genotyping assays. CD36 expression at the mRNA level was quantified by TaqMan gene expression assays. Soluble CD36 (sCD36) was measured by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay. Results We show that rs1194182G > C variant provides a protective effect with a 1.7‐fold lower susceptibility to develop ACS (p = 0.03); however, this association was masked by diabetes and dyslipidemia. We observed a higher sCD36 concentration in patient with ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) compared with patients with unstable angina (UA) (p = 0.038). Likewise, in diabetic patients versus non‐diabetic (p < 0.001). We observed in patients an increase in CD36 mRNA expression (1.91 times higher) than in the CG (p = 0.02). Conclusion The rs1194182 seems to be associated with diabetes in a risky manner, in ACS patients and protective for dyslipidemia in both groups. The concentration of sCD36 seems to be associated with the clinical spectrum of the ACS patients and the presence of diabetes, since patients with STEMI present significantly elevated level compared with UA.

Abstract
Aim: New parameters are emerging to predict prognosis in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). In this study we aimed to determine and compare the prognostic values of some metabolic indices in terms of predicting long-term mortality in patients with STEMI. Method: A total of 1900 nondiabetic patients who presented with STEMI and underwent percutaneous coronary intervention were included in the study. Multivariable Cox proportional regression analysis was used to determine and compare the predictive performance of triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, triglyceride-high density lipoprotein ratio (Ty/HDL) and admission glucose. Results: In multivariable Cox regression analysis, the model based on TyG index had better predictive performance than the Ty/HDL and admission blood glucose. Conclusion: The TyG index is more informative than Ty/HDL and admission glucose level to predict long-term all-cause mortality.

Abstract
Objective Our study's goal was to find out acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients' NUMB gene expression patterns and to evaluate its role as a diagnostic marker for AMI detection. Methods Peripheral blood was drawn from 124 individuals who had an AMI and 115 patients who had stable coronary artery disease (SCAD). The real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to measure the mRNA expression level of the NUMB gene in peripheral blood. Results The AMI group's NUMB gene expression was 0.906 (0.181–0.954), whereas the SCAD group's expression was 1.024 (0.207–1.127). However, the AMI group had 0.885 times lower NUMB mRNA expression than the SCAD group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Multivariate logistic regression evaluation found that lower NUMB expression was correlated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease. However, age and fasting plasma glucose levels were not associated with decreased NUMB expression.

Abstract
Background Neurotensin is involved in fatty acid and glucose metabolism and promotes the development of obesity and diabetes. These associations appear to be more pronounced in women. We investigated the association of neurotensin with long-term major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods We included 452 consecutive patients [144 (31.9%) females] undergoing PCI for ACS or CCS. Plasma samples drawn after PCI were analyzed for neurotensin with an enzyme-linked immunoassay. As primary endpoint, a composite of MACE including all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction and non-fatal stroke during 7 years of follow-up was investigated. As secondary endpoint, we investigated all-cause death. Results Neurotensin levels did not differ between male and female patients (p = 0.560). MACE occurred in 150 (33.2%) patients. Restricted cubic splines demonstrated a U-shaped association of log-transformed neurotensin with the primary and secondary endpoint. Therefore, we dichotomized our cohort according to tertiles of log-transformed neurotensin. In Kaplan-Meier analysis including the total cohort and restricted to male patients log- neurotensin tertiles were not associated with MACE (both p > 0.05). Moreover, in the overall cohort and in male patients multivariable Cox regression analysis log-neurotensin tertiles were not associated with MACE or with all-cause death (all p > 0.05). However, in female patients log-neurotensin was associated with MACE in Kaplan-Meier analysis (log-rank p = 0.013). Also, after multivariable adjustment female patients in the first tertile had a significantly increased risk for MACE compared to female patients in the second tertile [HR 3.84 (95% CI 1.71–8.60), p = 0.001]. There was tendency for increased risk in female patients in the third tertile compared to the second tertile [HR 2.14 (95% CI 0.97–4.73), p = 0.058]. Moreover, in female patients the [first and the third tertile of log- neurotensin were associated with all-cause death 1s vs. 2nd tertile: HR 3.03 (95% CI 1.21–7.63), p = 0.018; 3rd vs. 2nd tertile: HR 3.01 (95% CI 1.22–7.44), p = 0.016]. Conclusion In female patients with CAD undergoing PCI, neurotensin has a U-shaped relationship with adverse outcomes. These data suggest a sex specific association between neurotensin and long-term adverse events after PCI.

Achilles tendon thickness is associated with coronary lesion severity in acute coronary syndrome patients without familial hypercholesterolemia. J Cardiol 2021; 79:311-317. [PMID: 34657775 DOI: 10.1016/j.jjcc.2021.09.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2021] [Revised: 09/14/2021] [Accepted: 09/19/2021] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Thickening of Achilles tendon (≥9 mm on radiography) is one of the diagnostic criteria for familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). Since FH is associated with premature coronary artery disease (CAD) including acute coronary syndrome (ACS), measurement of Achilles tendon thickness (ATT) is important for early diagnosis of FH. However, clinical significance of mild thickening of Achilles tendon in non-FH patients with CAD is unclear. The present study investigated the association of ATT with coronary lesion severity in early-onset ACS without clinically diagnosed FH. METHODS From outpatients who had a history of ACS under 60 years old, 76 clinically non-FH subjects (71 men and 5 women; mean age at the onset of ACS, 50.5 years) with maximum ATT of <9 mm were enrolled in this study. The severity of coronary lesions was assessed by SYNTAX score derived from coronary angiography at the onset of ACS. RESULTS ATT levels were not significantly different among patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI, n=47), non-STEMI (n=12), and unstable angina (n=17). Whereas, both average and maximum ATT were significantly larger in patients with multivessel lesions (n=25) than in those with single-vessel disease (n=51). Furthermore, SYNTAX score was positively correlated with average ATT (r=0.368, p=0.0011) and maximum ATT (r=0.388, p=0.0005). As for the relation to clinical parameters, maximum ATT had positive correlations with body mass index and C-reactive protein. A multiple regression analysis revealed that average and maximum ATT were significantly associated with SYNTAX score, independently of various confounding factors. CONCLUSIONS Our findings demonstrated that ATT, even though its level was <9 mm, was associated with coronary lesion severity in clinically non-FH patients with early-onset ACS. Apart from diagnosing FH, ATT may be a predictor of the progression of CAD.

Abstract
Aim: Genetic testing can provide a definitive diagnosis of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). However, accessibility of genetic testing may be limited in certain countries where it is not considered “standard of care,” including Japan. In addition, mutations responsible for FH cannot be identified in approximately 30% of patients.
Methods: EXPLORE-J is a multicenter, prospective, observational study of patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The genetic data were analyzed and adjudicated as pathogenic, indeterminate, or nondetectable pathogenic variant.
Results: Of 1,944 patients, 431 underwent genetic screening. Overall, most patients had nonpathogenic variants ofLDLR,LDLRAP1, orPCSK9 (n=396, 91.9%). Of the 25 (5.8%) patients with pathogenic variants, variants of theLDLR gene and thePCSK9 gene were seen in 10 and 15 patients, respectively. Indeterminate variants were observed in 10 (2.3%) patients. Of the 431 patients, eight (1.9%) met the criteria for a diagnosis of FH using the Japanese Atherosclerosis Society (JAS) 2017 guidelines. When genetic data were incorporated, 33 (7.7%) patients met the JAS guidelines. No patients with FH pathogenic variants satisfied the JAS clinical criteria for a diagnosis of FH.
Conclusions: The results revealed a higher prevalence of genetic mutations of FH among Japanese patients with ACS and a low sensitivity of the FH diagnostic criteria of the JAS 2017 guidelines. These findings highlight the difficulties of FH diagnosis in patients with ACS in the acute phase and suggest the importance of genetic testing and family history.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Association of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and highly sensitive C-reactive protein in ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients was assessed in this study. METHODS 591 consecutive patients who were hospitalized with a diagnosis of ST-elevation myocardial infarction were enrolled and assigned into tertiles according to their serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. Differences in highly sensitive C-reactive protein among low-density lipoprotein cholesterol tertiles and correlations between highly sensitive C-reactive protein and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were assessed. RESULTS Highly sensitive C-reactive protein levels differed significantly among the groups (p<0.001) and found to be highest in the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol tertile 1 and lowest in the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol tertile 3 (post-hoc p-values: tertile 1 vs. 2 <0.001; tertile 1 vs. 3 <0.001; tertile 2 vs. 3=0.019). There was a negative correlation between hs-CRP and both low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (r=-0.332, p<0.001) and total cholesterol (r=-0.326, p<0.001). There was also a negative correlation between highly sensitive C-reactive protein and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, though the strength of this relationship was weak (r=-0.103, p=0.014). CONCLUSION Lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels are associated with higher inflammatory burden in patients with acute STEMI. Further studies are required to elucidate the significance of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in ST-elevation myocardial infarction settings.

Predictors for one-year outcomes of cardiorespiratory fitness and cardiovascular risk factor control after cardiac rehabilitation in elderly patients: The EU-CaRE study. PLoS One 2021; 16:e0255472.

Abstract
Introduction Studies on effectiveness of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) in elderly cardiovascular disease patients are rare, and it is unknown, which patients benefit most. We aimed to identify predictors for 1-year outcomes of cardiorespiratory fitness and CV risk factor (CVRF) control in patients after completing CR programs offered across seven European countries. Methods Cardiovascular disease patients with minimal age 65 years who participated in comprehensive CR were included in this observational study. Peak oxygen uptake (VO2), body mass index (BMI), resting systolic blood pressure (BPsys), and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) were assessed before CR (T0), at termination of CR (T1), and 12 months after start of CR (T2). Predictors for changes were identified by multivariate regression models. Results Data was available from 1241 out of 1633 EU-CaRE patients. The strongest predictor for improvement in peak VO2 was open chest surgery, with a nearly four-fold increase in surgery compared to non-surgery patients. In patients after surgery, age, female sex, physical inactivity and time from index event to T0 were negative predictors for improvement in peak VO2. In patients without surgery, previous acute coronary syndrome and higher exercise capacity at T0 were the only negative predictors. Neither number of attended training sessions nor duration of CR were significantly associated with change in peak VO2. Non-surgery patients were more likely to achieve risk factor targets (BPsys, LDL-C, BMI) than surgery patients. Conclusions In a previously understudied population of elderly CR patients, time between index event and start of CR in surgery and disease severity in non-surgery patients were the most important predictors for long-term improvement of peak VO2. Non-surgery patients had better CVRF control.

Abstract
Hypercholesterolemia is a well-established risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) has been labeled as "bad" cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) as "good" cholesterol. The prevailing hypothesis is that lowering blood cholesterol levels, especially LDL-C, reduces vascular deposition and retention of cholesterol or apolipoprotein B (apoB)-containing lipoproteins which are atherogenic. We review herein the clinical trial data on different pharmacological approaches to lowering blood cholesterol and propose that the mechanism of action of cholesterol lowering, as well as the amplitude of cholesterol reduction, are critically important in leading to improved clinical outcomes in ASCVD. The effects of bile acid sequestrants, fibrates, niacin, cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitors, apolipoprotein A-I and HDL mimetics, apoB regulators, acyl coenzyme A: cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) inhibitors, cholesterol absorption inhibitors, statins, and proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors, among other strategies are reviewed. Clinical evidence supports that different classes of cholesterol lowering or lipoprotein regulating approaches yielded variable effects on ASCVD outcomes, especially in cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. Statins are the most widely used cholesterol lowering agents and have the best proven cardiovascular event and survival benefits. Manipulating cholesterol levels by specific targeting of apoproteins or lipoproteins has not yielded clinical benefit. Understanding why lowering LDL-C by different approaches varies in clinical outcomes of ASCVD, especially in survival benefit, may shed further light on our evolving understanding of how cholesterol and its carrier lipoproteins are involved in ASCVD and aid in developing effective pharmacological strategies to improve the clinical outcomes of ASCVD.

Abstract
Aims Clinical trials have demonstrated that a reduction in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) reduces cardiovascular (CV) events. This has, however, not yet been shown in a real-world setting. We aimed to investigate the association between LDL-C changes and statin intensity with prognosis after a myocardial infarction (MI). Methods and results Patients admitted with MI were followed for mortality and major CV events. Changes in LDL-C between the MI and a 6- to 10-week follow-up visit were analysed. The associations between quartiles of LDL-C change and statin intensity with outcomes were assessed using adjusted Cox regression analyses. A total of 40 607 patients were followed for a median of 3.78 years. The median change in LDL-C was a 1.20 mmol/L reduction. Patients with larger LDL-C reduction (1.85 mmol/L, 75th percentile) compared with a smaller reduction (0.36 mmol/L, 25th percentile) had lower hazard ratios (HR) for all outcomes (95% confidence interval): composite of CV mortality, MI, and ischaemic stroke 0.77 (0.70–0.84); all-cause mortality 0.71 (0.63–0.80); CV mortality 0.68 (0.57–0.81); MI 0.81 (0.73–0.91); ischaemic stroke 0.76 (0.62–0.93); heart failure hospitalization 0.73 (0.63–0.85), and coronary artery revascularization 0.86 (0.79–0.94). Patients with ≥50% LDL-C reduction using high-intensity statins at discharge had a lower incidence of all outcomes compared with those using a lower intensity statin. Conclusions Larger early LDL-C reduction and more intensive statin therapy after MI were associated with a reduced hazard of all CV outcomes and all-cause mortality. This supports clinical trial data suggesting that earlier lowering of LDL-C after an MI confers the greatest benefit.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS It remains unclear whether serum PCSK9 levels can predict the severity of the disease and the risk of future events in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). We aimed to evaluate the association between PCSK9 levels, metabolic parameters, severity of CAD on coronary angiography (SYNTAX score), and the risk of in-hospital events and at one-year follow-up. METHODS AND RESULTS From September 2015 to December 2016, serum PCSK9 levels were measured on admission in patients not previously receiving statin therapy, and admitted for an acute myocardial infarction (MI), in an intensive care unit from a university hospital. In a total of 648 patients (mean age: 66 years, 67% male), median PCSK9 was 263 ng/ml, higher for females compared with males (270 vs 256 ng/ml, p = 0.009). Serum PCSK9 was associated with LDL cholesterol (r = 0.083, p = 0.036), total cholesterol (r = 0.136, p = 0.001) and triglycerides (r = 0.137, p = 0.001). A positive association was also observed in the subgroup of patients with CRP >10 mg/L (p < 0.001), but not with NT-proBNP, troponin and creatine kinase. PCSK9 levels were similar whatever the SYNTAX score or the number of significant coronary lesions. PCSK9 levels were not associated with in-hospital events (death, recurrent MI and stroke) and events (cardiovascular death, cardiovascular events, recurrent MI) at one-year follow-up. CONCLUSIONS In this large cohort of patients hospitalized for acute MI and not previously receiving statin therapy, PCSK9 levels was not associated with the severity or the recurrence of cardiovascular events. The clinical utility of measuring PCSK9 levels for this category of patients therefore appears limited.

Abstract
Background Although acute coronary syndromes (ACS) are a major cause of morbidity and mortality, relationships with biologically active lipid species potentially associated with plaque disruption/erosion in the context of their lipoprotein carriers are indeterminate. The aim was to characterize lipid species within lipoprotein particles which differentiate ACS from stable coronary artery disease. Methods and Results Venous blood was obtained from 130 individuals with de novo presentation of an ACS (n=47) or stable coronary artery disease (n=83) before coronary catheterization. Lipidomic measurements (533 lipid species; liquid chromatography electrospray ionization/tandem mass spectrometry) were performed on whole plasma as well as 2 lipoprotein subfractions: apolipoprotein A1 (apolipoprotein A, high‐density lipoprotein) and apolipoprotein B. Compared with stable coronary artery disease, ACS plasma was lower in phospholipids including lyso species and plasmalogens, with the majority of lipid species differing in abundance located within high‐density lipoprotein (high‐density lipoprotein, 113 lipids; plasma, 73 lipids). Models including plasma lipid species alone improved discrimination between the stable and ACS groups by 0.16 (C‐statistic) compared with conventional risk factors. Models utilizing lipid species either in plasma or within lipoprotein fractions had a similar ability to discriminate groups, though the C‐statistic was highest for plasma lipid species (0.80; 95% CI, 0.75–0.86). Conclusions Multiple lysophospholipids, but not cholesterol, featured among the lipids which were present at low concentration within high‐density lipoprotein of those presenting with ACS. Lipidomics, when applied to either whole plasma or lipoprotein fractions, was superior to conventional risk factors in discriminating ACS from stable coronary artery disease. These associative mechanistic insights elucidate potential new preventive, prognostic, and therapeutic avenues for ACS which require investigation in prospective analyses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A Japanese prospective, nation-wide, multicenter registry (J-MINUET) showed that long-term outcomes were worse in non-ST elevation acute myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), diagnosed by increased cardiac troponin levels, compared to STEMI. This was observed in both non-STEMI with elevated creatine kinase (CK) (NSTEMI+CK) and non-STEMI without elevated CK (NSTEMI-CK). However, predictive factors for long-term outcomes in STEMI, NSTEMI+CK, and NSTEMI-CK have not been elucidated. METHODS Using the Cox proportional hazards model, we determined significant independent predictors of long-term outcomes from a total of 111 parameters evaluated in the J-MINUET study in each of our groups, including STEMI, NSTEMI+CK, and NSTEMI-CK. Then, we calculated the risk score using the regression coefficients for the determined independent predictors for the strict prediction of long-term outcomes. RESULTS Prognostic factors, as well as composite cardiovascular events and all-cause death, were different between STEMI, NSTEMI+CK, and NSTEMI-CK. Risk scores could effectively and powerfully predict both composite cardiovascular events and all-cause death in each group. CONCLUSIONS The prediction of long-term outcomes using cored parameters of baseline demographics and clinical characteristics is feasible and could prove useful in establishing therapeutic strategies in patients with STEMI, NSTEMI+CK, and NSTEMI-CK.

Plasma kinetics of mature PCSK9, furin-cleaved PCSK9, and Lp(a) with or without administration of PCSK9 inhibitors in acute myocardial infarction. J Cardiol 2020; 76:395-401. [PMID: 32439340 DOI: 10.1016/j.jjcc.2020.04.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2020] [Revised: 03/22/2020] [Accepted: 04/11/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND There are two types of circulating proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), mature and furin-cleaved. Most types of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], an independent risk factor of cardiovascular events, bind to mature PCSK9. OBJECTIVE This study examined the effects of monoclonal anti-PCSK9 antibody on plasma PCSK9 and Lp(a) levels in acute myocardial infarction (MI). METHODS Acute MI patients (n=36) were randomly divided into evolocumab (140mg; n=17) and non-evolocumab (n=19) groups. Changes in plasma PCSK9 and Lp(a) levels were monitored before and 1, 3, 5, 10, and 20 days after evolocumab administration. RESULTS In the non-evolocumab group, plasma levels of mature PCSK9, furin-cleaved PCSK9, and Lp(a) (236.4±57.3ng/mL, 22.4±5.8ng/mL, and 19.2.±16.5mg/dL, respectively) significantly increased by day 3 (408.8±77.1ng/mL, p<0.001; 47.2±15.7ng/mL, p<0.001; and 39.7±21.3mg/dL, p<0.005, respectively) and returned to the baseline by day 10 or 20. In the evolocumab group, mature PCSK9 significantly increased by >1000ng/mL with a simultaneous decline of furin-cleaved PCSK9 below the measurement sensitivity level after day 3. The incremental area under the curve for plasma Lp(a) levels was significantly smaller in the evolocumab group compared with the non-evolocumab group (p=0.038). CONCLUSION Mature and furin-cleaved PCSK9 are transiently upregulated after MI onset. Evolocumab significantly increases mature PCSK9 and decreases furin-cleaved PCSK9 and might inhibit transient increase of plasma Lp(a) in acute MI.

Lower levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol are associated with increased cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndrome. Atherosclerosis 2020; 303:21-28. [PMID: 32474302 DOI: 10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2020.05.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2020] [Revised: 04/24/2020] [Accepted: 05/07/2020] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS This study aimed to elucidate whether high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) at 3-month follow-up for patients receiving contemporary lipid-lowering therapy after acute coronary syndrome (ACS) could predict cardiac events. METHODS The HIJ-PROPER study was a multicenter, prospective, randomized trial comparing intensive lipid-lowering therapy (pitavastatin + ezetimibe) and conventional lipid-lowering therapy (pitavastatin monotherapy) after ACS. The entire cohort was divided into three groups according to tertiles of HDL-C levels at 3-month follow-up (Group 1, HDL-C ≤43 mg/dL; Group 2, HDL-C >43, <53.6 mg/dL; Group 3; HDL-C ≥53.6 mg/dL). Baseline characteristics and incidence of the primary endpoint (a composite of all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, unstable angina pectoris, or ischemia-driven revascularization) were compared among the three groups. RESULTS The primary endpoint event occurred in 34.8%, 30.1%, and 24.6% of patients in Groups 1, 2, and 3, respectively, and its incidence was significantly higher in Group 1 than in Group 3 (hazard ratio [HR], 1.5; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.19-1.9; p = 0.001). Irrespective of the treatment regimen, Group 1 had significantly higher rates of the primary endpoint than Group 3 (pitavastatin + ezetimibe therapy: HR, 1.6; 95% CI, 1.12-2.22; p = 0.01 and pitavastatin monotherapy: HR, 1.4; 95% CI, 1.05-1.98; p = 0.02). These trends remained even after adjustment for baseline characteristics and lipid profiles. Multivariate analysis revealed that lower body mass index, prevalence of diabetes mellitus, higher levels of high-sensitivity C reactive protein at baseline, and lower levels of HDL-C at 3-month follow-up were independent predictors of the incidence of primary endpoint. CONCLUSIONS Lower levels of HDL-C at 3-month follow-up are independently associated with higher incidence of cardiovascular events in ACS patients receiving contemporary lipid-lowering therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationships between lipid profiles and IBD remain elusive. AIM To determine the association of IBD with serum lipid profiles. METHODS A nationwide population-based study was performed using claims data from the Korean National Healthcare Insurance service. A total of 9 706 026 subjects undergoing medical check-ups in 2009 were enrolled and followed up until 2016. Individuals who developed Crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC) were identified during follow-up. Adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) by age, sex, body mass index, cigarette smoking, alcohol drinking, exercise, income and underlying comorbidities was calculated to define the impact of serum lipid profiles on developing IBD. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 7.3 years, IBD was detected in 7,058 (0.07%) individuals. Compared with the highest quartile of serum total cholesterol (TC) levels, lower TC levels were associated with higher incidence of CD (aHR: Q1, 2.52; Q2, 1.52; Q3, 1.27), but not UC. Lower serum LDL-C levels were associated with higher incidence of CD (aHR: Q1, 1.92; Q2, 1.47; Q3, 1.22), but not UC. Moreover, lower serum HDL-C levels were associated with higher incidence of CD (aHR: Q1, 2.49; Q2, 1.90; Q3, 1.43), but not UC. In contrast, lower serum triglyceride levels were associated with higher incidence of UC (aHR: Q1, 1.22; Q2, 1.19; Q3, 1.19), but not CD. CONCLUSIONS Low serum TC, LDL-C and HDL-C levels were associated with CD. Low serum triglyceride levels were related to UC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tendon xanthoma, represented as Achilles tendon xanthoma (ATX), is one of the important diagnostic criteria for familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). However, there are some cases with ATX who do not meet these criteria. This study aimed to investigate the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with ATX. METHODS A total of 394 patients with CAD undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at Chiba University Hospital between June 2016 and February 2018 were enrolled. Soft X-ray radiography of Achilles tendon was performed, and a maximum thickness of 9 mm or more was regarded as ATX. Heterozygous FH was diagnosed according to the diagnostic criteria proposed by the Japan Atherosclerosis Society in 2017. CAD severity was assessed by SYNTAX score before the first PCI during the study period. RESULTS There were 43 (10.9%) patients with ATX, and 16 (4.1%) were diagnosed as FH (15 with ATX and 1 without ATX). The ATX group showed greater body mass index, lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level, and the higher prevalence of FH, diabetes, prior myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndrome, multivessel disease, hemodialysis, and prior statin administration. SYNTAX score and the rate of SYNTAX score ≥23 were significantly higher in the ATX group compared with the non-ATX group (p < 0.001 for each). When patients were divided into quartiles according to Achilles tendon thickness, SYNTAX score and the prevalence of SYNTAX score ≥23 were progressively increased in favor of greater Achilles tendon thickness (p < 0.001 for each). Multivariate analysis determined male, diabetes, and ATX as independent predictors for higher SYNTAX score. CONCLUSIONS In CAD patients undergoing PCI, ATX was independently associated with severity of CAD. Detecting ATX may be useful not only for diagnosing FH, but also for identifying patients with advanced CAD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Optimal lipid control is difficult to attain. We assessed preadmission achievement of the European Society of Cardiology targets for low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) control in patients admitted for acute coronary syndrome. METHODS Fasting LDL-C levels were measured in 3164 patients admitted between 2010 and 2017. We assessed the frequency of adequate LDL-C control, with targets defined according to individual cardiovascular risk, and the predictors of inadequate control. RESULTS The median LDL-C value was 104 (80-130) mg/dL. Most patients had high or very high cardiovascular risk and only 34.2% had LDL-C levels below the recommended target for their estimated risk. Achievement of LDL-C goals increased moderately throughout the study period. Adequate LDL-C control was inversely associated with patient risk. Dyslipidemia, active smoking, diabetes mellitus, and body mass index ≥ 25 were independent predictors of inadequate lipid control, while ongoing statin therapy was associated with adequate control. CONCLUSIONS Only slightly more than one third of patients admitted for acute coronary syndrome meet recommended LDL-C targets on admission. There is broad scope for improvement in primary and secondary prevention, especially among patients who are overweight or have other cardiovascular risk factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Prevalence of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), a common genetic disorder with a high risk for coronary artery disease (CAD), is high among CAD patients; however, data on FH prevalence among acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients are limited. EXPLORE-J is the largest registry to diagnose FH among Japanese ACS patients using the 2012 Japan Atherosclerosis Society guidelines. METHODS This prospective study consecutively recruited patients between April 2015 and August 2016 at 59 sites. Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels, family history of premature CAD, presence of tendon xanthomas, and Achilles tendon radiograms were recorded at baseline. The prevalence rate of FH in patients with ACS was estimated with 95% CI. RESULTS Of 1944 analyzed patients (mean age, 66.0 years; men, 80.3%), 52 (2.7% [95% CI: 2.0-3.5]) had FH. Thirty-one (1.6%) had LDL-C ≥180 mg/dL and Achilles tendon thickness (ATT) ≥9 mm, 8 (0.4%) had LDL-C ≥180 mg/dL and family history of premature CAD, 10 (0.5%) had ATT ≥9 mm and family history of premature CAD, and 3 (0.2%) met all the criteria. FH patients were younger than those without FH (59.5 [12.5] vs. 66.2 [12.1] years; p < 0.001). More patients with premature ACS (men, <55 years; women, <65 years) than without (4.7% [95% CI: 2.9-7.2] vs. 2.1% [1.4-3.0]) had FH. CONCLUSIONS FH prevalence is at least five-fold higher in ACS patients than in the general population, especially in patients with premature ACS onset and ATT ≥9 mm. FH screening in ACS patients is therefore clinically important and critical.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) have an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study was undertaken to develop a clearer understanding of the association between changes in disease activity and lipid levels in AAV, which may inform CVD risk stratification in this population. METHODS Lipid levels were assessed in stored serum samples (obtained at baseline and month 6) from the Rituximab for ANCA-Associated Vasculitis (RAVE) trial, which randomized patients to receive either rituximab or cyclophosphamide followed by azathioprine. Paired t-tests and multivariable linear regression were used to assess changes in lipid levels. RESULTS Of the 142 patients with serum samples available, the mean ± SD age was 52.3 ± 14.7 years, 72 (51%) were male, 95 (67%) were proteinase 3 (PR3)-ANCA positive, 72 (51%) had received a new diagnosis of AAV, and 75 (53%) were treated with rituximab. Several lipid levels increased between baseline and month 6, including total cholesterol (+12.4 mg/dl [95% confidence interval (95% CI) +7.1, +21.0]), low-density lipoprotein (+10.3 mg/dl [95% CI +6.1, +17.1]), and apolipoprotein B (+3.5 mg/dl [95% CI +1.0, +8.3]). These changes were observed among newly diagnosed and PR3-ANCA-positive patients but not among those with relapsing disease or myeloperoxidase-ANCA-positive patients. There was no difference in change in lipid levels between rituximab-treated patients and cyclophosphamide-treated patients. Changes in lipid levels correlated with changes in erythrocyte sedimentation rate but not with other inflammatory markers or glucocorticoid exposure. CONCLUSION Lipid levels increased during remission induction among patients with newly diagnosed AAV and those who were PR3-ANCA positive. Disease activity and ANCA type should be considered when assessing lipid profiles to stratify CVD risk in patients with AAV.

Abstract
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is reportedly associated with the development of coronary artery disease (CAD), especially acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, the prevalence of FH in patients with stable CAD is still unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of Achilles tendon xanthoma (ATX) and heterozygous FH in patients with stable CAD and ACS undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). A total of 423 patients with CAD (273 stable CAD and 150 ACS) undergoing PCI at Chiba University Hospital between June 2016 and February 2018 were enrolled in this study. Soft X-ray radiography of the Achilles tendon was performed in all patients, and a maximum thickness of 9 mm or more is regarded as ATX. Heterozygous FH was diagnosed according to the Japan Atherosclerosis Society Guidelines. In comparisons between stable CAD and ACS patients, ATX was observed in 9.2% vs. 15.3% (p = 0.055), and heterozygous FH was diagnosed in 3.7% vs. 5.3% (p = 0.416), respectively. Among ACS patients, those with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) showed the highest prevalence of ATX (19.5%) and FH (7.3%). Whereas ATX and heterozygous FH were considerably observed in patients with ACS, a certain number of ATX and heterozygous FH were also detected in stable CAD patients.

Abstract
Introduction Irrespective of underlying hyperlipidemia, the serum lipid profile witnesses a phasic fluctuation immediately after a major cardiovascular event. This study aims to evaluate the change in serum lipid profile in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods It was a prospective, cross-sectional study conducted in the department of cardiology, Shalamar Hospital, and Punjab Institute of Cardiology, from October until December 2018, focusing on patients admitted with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The patient's demographics and lipid profile (in mg/dl) within the first 24 hours and after 48 hours of the event were recorded. Results The mean serum total cholesterol (TC) levels decreased from 207.5 ± 30.5 to 192.4 ± 49.3 after 48 hours (p-value <0.0001). Mean serum triglyceride (TGs) levels increased from 153.8 ± 10.2 to 183.8 ± 14.8 (p-value <0.0001). Mean serum low density lipid-cholesterol (LDL-C) decreased from 149.0 ± 41.2 to 133.4 ± 54.0 (p-value = 0.0003). Mean serum high density lipid-cholesterol (HDL-C) decreased from 46.6 ± 9.9 to 40.7 ± 11.8 (p-value <0.0001). Conclusion Phasic fluctuations in serum lipid profile are observed after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The trend that follows include reduced TC, LDL-C, and HDL-C, and increased TGs. Periodic lipid profile must be evaluated in all patients admitted for AMI to understand the changing trend, initiate lifestyle measures to reach target lipid levels, and predict the choice of lipid-lowering therapy.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between hypercholesterolemia (HC) and clinical events through a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) registry. HC is a well-known independent risk factor for long-term cardiovascular events after PCI. However, it has been reported to be associated with a lower risk of adverse events in patients with cancer or acute coronary syndrome. Methods We analyzed the relationship between HC and adverse events in patients treated with everolimus-eluting stents (EESs) through the Tokyo-MD PCI study (an all-comer, multicenter, observational registry). The propensity score method was applied to select two groups with similar baseline characteristics. Results The unadjusted population included 1,536 HC patients and 330 non-HC patients. Propensity score matching yielded 314 matched pairs. After baseline adjustment, the outcomes of HC patients were significantly better than those of the non-HC patients with respect to the primary endpoint, which was a combination of mortality from all causes, nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI), nonfatal neurological events, and major bleeding [hazard ratio (HR) 0.56, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.39-0.81; p=0.002], and the secondary endpoints, which included a combination of mortality from all causes, nonfatal MI, and nonfatal neurological events (HR 0.59, 95% CI 0.39-0.88; p=0.01), and major bleeding (HR 0.42, 95% CI 0.20-0.88; p=0.02). A subgroup analysis showed age as an interaction factor for the primary endpoint (interaction p=0.035). Conclusion HC was associated with better outcomes in patients who underwent EES implantation, even after baseline adjustment.

Abstract
Objective In patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels in samples collected after an overnight fast are diagnostic indicators and well-established predictors of adverse outcomes. However, the relationship between the HDL-C levels in samples collected just after arrival (early HDL-C) and in-hospital mortality remains unknown. The purposes of the present ACS study were to (1) evaluate the association between the early HDL-C levels of patients and in-hospital mortality and (2) compare the early HDL-C level with other well-known determinants associated with in-hospital mortality. Methods This retrospective study surveyed 638 consecutive ACS patients and then assessed the possible determinants of in-hospital mortality. All initial blood samples, including that for early HDL-C, were drawn within one hour of arrival. Results In the present study, the overall in-hospital mortality was 5.9%. A multivariable analysis showed that a low early HDL-C [odds ratio (OR) 2.53, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.14-5.62], elevated troponin T (OR 4.40, 95% CI 1.26-15.29) and high Killip class (OR 15.41, 95% CI 7.29-32.59) were independent predictors of in-hospital mortality. A Kaplan-Meier survival analysis indicated that there the in-hospital outcome for the low early HDL-C group was significantly worse than that for the high early HDL-C group (age- and gender-adjusted hazard ratio 2.40, 95% CI 1.15-5.00, p=0.02). Conclusion ACS patients with low early HDL-C levels had higher in-hospital mortalities than those who did not have low early HDL-C levels. In addition to the already well-known determinants, low early HDL-C should also be considered as an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality in ACS patients who present to a cardiac care unit.

Nucleoporin 107 facilitates the nuclear export of Scn5a mRNA to regulate cardiac bioelectricity. J Cell Mol Med 2018; 23:1448-1457.

Abstract
Nucleoporins (Nups) are known to be functional in nucleo‐cytoplasmic transport, but the roles of nucleoporins in nonproliferating cells, such as cardiac myocytes, are still poorly understood. In this study, we report that Nup107 regulates cardiac bioelectricity by controlling the nucleo‐cytoplasmic trafficking of Scn5a mRNA. Overexpression of Nup107 induced the protein expression of Scn5a rather than that of other ion channels, with no effects of their mRNA levels. The analysis for the protein production demonstrated Nup107‐facilitated transport of Scn5a mRNA. Using RIP‐PCR and luciferase assay, we found that the 5′‐UTR of Scn5a mRNA was not involved in the interaction, whereas the spatial interaction between Nup107 protein and Scn5a mRNA was formed when Scn5a mRNA passing through the nuclear pore. Functionally, Nup107 overexpression in neonatal rat ventricle myocytes significantly increased the currents of Scn5a‐encoded INa channel. Moreover, the close correlation between Nup107 and Nav1.5 protein expression was observed in cardiomycytes and heart tissues subjected to hypoxia and ischaemic insults, suggesting a fast regulation of Nup107 on Nav1.5 channel in cardiac myocytes in a posttranscriptional manner. These findings may provide insights into the emergent control of cardiac electrophysiology through Nup‐mediated modulation of ion channels.

Abstract
CSL112 (Apolipoprotein A-I [Human]), an infusible, plasma-derived apolipoprotein A-I, is being developed to reduce cardiovascular events following acute myocardial infarction (AMI). A predecessor compound (CSL111) demonstrated a potential antiplatelet effect. A phase 2a multicentre, randomised, single-ascending dose study in patients with stable atherosclerotic disease receiving dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) assessed the potential additive effects of CSL112 administration on platelet function and increase bleeding risk in the subacute period after AMI. Patients (n = 44) on aspirin (75–325 mg/day) and either clopidogrel (75 mg/day, n = 37) or prasugrel (10 mg/day, n = 7) for > 30 days alongside standard-of-care therapy were randomised to a single dose of placebo or CSL112: 1.7, 3.4, or 6.8 g. Light transmission aggregometry was used to assess platelet aggregation in response to 2 mM arachidonic acid, 5 and 20 µM adenosine diphosphate, and 4 µg/mL collagen, pre-dose (baseline) and up to 48 h post-dosing. Compared to placebo, CSL112 had no clinically meaningful time- or dose-dependent effects on maximum platelet aggregation in response to any agonist, by either dose or renal function subgroup (p > 0.05). Coagulation parameters showed little variation over time or between treatment groups (p > 0.05). CSL112, when co-administered with standard DAPT, did not significantly influence platelet aggregation in response to agonists and is, therefore, not expected to significantly increase bleeding risk when administered with antiplatelet therapies.
