Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study evaluates the 3-year clinical outcomes of high Killip grade (III/IV) acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients treated with either β-blockers (BB) and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) or BB and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB). METHODS A total of 13,105 patients were registered at the Korea Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry at the National Institute of Health (KAMIR-NIH). Among them, 871 patients with high Killip classification AMI were divided into the BB + ACEI group (n = 489) and the BB + ARB group (n = 381). Following propensity score matching, 343 patients were selected in each group. All patients completed a 3-year follow-up period. RESULTS The results indicate no significant differences between the BB + ACEI group and BB + ARB group in terms of cardiac death, recurrent myocardial infarction, and the rate of repeat percutaneous coronary intervention. However, the BB + ACEI group exhibited significantly lower risks in major adverse cardiac events (HR = 0.574, 95% CI: 0.421-0.783, p < .001), all-cause mortality (HR = 0.561, 95% CI: 0.404-0.778, p = .001), and non-cardiac death (HR = 0.365, 95% CI: 0.208-0.639, p < .001) compared to the BB + ARB group. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that BB + ACEI treatment is more beneficial than BB + ARB for high Killip grade AMI patients. Additionally, the BB + ACEI group has a superior preventative effect on mortality compared to the BB + ARB group.

Fifteen-Year Nationwide Trend in Antiplatelet Treatment among Drug-Eluting Stent Recipients in Korea: Many Patients Receive Very Prolonged Dual-Antiplatelet Treatment, and Newer Drugs Are Replacing the Older Ones. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12072675. [PMID: 37048759 PMCID: PMC10095404 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12072675] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2023] [Revised: 03/21/2023] [Accepted: 03/31/2023] [Indexed: 04/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Drug-eluting stent (DES) recipients require 6–12 months of dual antiplatelet treatment (DAPT) and long-term aspirin mono-antiplatelet treatment (MAPT). Given the diversity of contemporary antiplatelet agents, antiplatelet treatment (APT) selection is becoming more complicated. We evaluated 15-year APT trends based on nationwide prescription data of 79,654 patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using DESs from 2002 to 2018 in Korea. DAPT (80.7%) was the most preferred initial APT post-PCI. Many DES recipients received prolonged DAPT (post-PCI 3 years: 41.0%; 10 years: 27.7%). There was a noticeable delay in DAPT-to-MAPT conversion from the mid to late 2000s (after the late-stent thrombosis concerns of first-generation DESs raised); the conversion after that was similar during the 2010s, occurring most robustly at 12–18 months post-PCI. Clopidogrel had long and increasingly been used for MAPT, surpassing aspirin. The recent increase in newer P2Y12 inhibitor prescriptions was noted. The patients treated with newer P2Y12 inhibitors were more likely younger men and presented with acute myocardial infarction. Real-world APT is evolving, and guideline–practice gaps exist. Further studies exploring the impact of diverse APT strategies on patient outcomes are expected to provide insights into optimal APT that can sophisticatedly balance the ischemic and bleeding risks.

Abstract
The present study was conducted with the aim of identifying, and summarizing the characteristics of ACS registries at national, multinational and international levels. Literature was searched using keywords in the title and/or abstract without any time limit ending in March, 2021. After excluding duplicates, 2 reviewers independently reviewed the titles and/or abstracts and full text for inclusion. Each reviewer independently extracted the characteristics of the registries from included papers. Finally, the extracted characteristics were confirmed by a second reviewer. Out of the 1309 papers included, 71 ACS registries were identified (including 60 national and 11 multinational and international registries). Most national registries were being used in Europe. Most registries focused on measuring quality. In more than half of the registries, all types of ACS patients were enrolled. The diagnostic and drug classification systems were mentioned in eight and five registries, respectively. The design of 55 registries was hospital-based. The ability of computerized audit checks was made for 34 registries. More than half of the registries had patient consent and had a web-based design. In all the ACS registries, patient characteristics, clinical characteristics and treatment characteristics were recorded and post-discharge follow-up information was recorded in 45 registries. In the current situation and given that a limited number of countries in the world have national ACS registries, reviewing the results of this study and modeling the registries implemented in the leading countries can help countries without a registry to design it.

PLoS One 2023; 18:e0278993. [PMID: 36821598 PMCID: PMC9949675 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0278993] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2022] [Accepted: 10/27/2022] [Indexed: 02/24/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES To compare the long-term clinical outcomes of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with clopidogrel and DAPT with ticagrelor or prasugrel in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) who underwent coronary intervention. METHODS Between November 2011 and December 2015, a total of 13,104 patients with AMI were enrolled in the Korea Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry-National Institutes of Health (KAMIR-NIH) registry. Among them, 4,696 patients who received DAPT for more than 24 months were categorized into two groups: the clopidogrel group (n = 4,053) and ticagrelor or prasugrel group (n = 643). Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to reduce the bias due to confounding variables. Following PSM, the impacts of P2Y12 inhibitors on the clinical outcomes in both groups were compared during a 36-month clinical follow-up period. RESULTS There were no significant differences in clinical outcomes in terms of cardiac death (7.1% vs. 9.7%, p = 0.101), stroke (1.4% vs. 1.0%, p = 0.436), major bleeding (0.5% vs. 0.8%, p = 0.478), major adverse cardiac events (MACE) (21.6% vs. 20.5%, p = 0.626), and net adverse cardiac event (NACE) (22.1% vs. 21.3%, p = 0.731) between the groups. The ticagrelor or prasugrel group had a lower incidence of recurrent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (12.2% vs. 7.6%, p = 0.006) than the clopidogrel group. However, no differences were observed in the cumulative incidences of 3-year NACE between the ticagrelor or prasugrel and clopidogrel groups. CONCLUSIONS Cumulative incidences of long-term NACE did not differ between the two groups. Therefore, the type and duration of DAPT should be customized for each patient with AMI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the cause of increase the clinical research observational evidence on type 2 myocardial infraction (T2MI), the study compared the characteristics of T2MI and T1MI with respect to major adverse cardiac events (MACE) and mortality as long-term outcomes from a large, nationwide, prospective Korean cohort registry. METHODS From 13,105 consecutively enrolled individuals in the Korea Acute Myocardial Infarction-National Institute of Health (KAMIR-NIH) registry between October 2011 and December 2015, 11,053 acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients were divided into the T1MI (n=10,545) and T2MI (n=508) groups. All patients completed ≥3 years of follow-up. RESULTS The Kaplan-Meier curve analysis and Cox proportional hazard regression models showed that the cumulative rate of MACE was similar between the 2 groups (11.4% vs. 13.4%, log-rank P=0.185) at 3 years. However, the T2MI group showed higher rates of all-cause death [12.6% vs. 9.4%, log-rank P=0.019; hazard ratio (HR), 1.42; 95% CI: 1.08-1.85; P=0.012] and non-cardiac death (3.5% vs. 5.3%, log-rank P=0.043; HR, 1.55; 95% CI: 1.01-2.37; P=0.043) than the T1MI group. Male sex (HR 1.540; 95% CI: 1.218-1.947, P<0.001), old age (≥65 years; HR, 3.546; 95% CI: 2.645-4.753, P<0.001), low hemoglobin level (<12 g/dL; HR, 2.335; 95% CI: 1.841-2.961, P<0.001), high heart rate (>100 beats/min; HR, 1.852; 95% CI: 1.436-2.388, P<0.001), low glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (<60 mL/min/1.73 m2; HR, 2.373; 95% CI: 1.874-3.005, P<0.001), high body mass index (>25 kg/m2; HR, 0.644; 95% CI: 0.514-0.805, P<0.001), and low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (<40%; HR, 1.487; 95% CI: 1.095-2.020, P=0.011) were the independent predictors for 3-year non-cardiac mortality. CONCLUSIONS Although the 2 groups did not differ in MACE, the total mortality rate was higher in T2MI than in T1MI, especially non-cardiac mortality. The independent predictors for non-cardiac mortality were male sex, old age, anemia, low GFR, tachycardia, obesity, and low LVEF.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to compare mortality rates after discharge between the patients with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and those with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), and identify each mortality risk factors in these two types of myocardial infarction. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between 2011 and 2015, 13105 consecutive patients were enrolled in the Korea Acute Myocardial Infarction-National Institute of Health registry (KAMIR-NIH); 12271 patients with acute myocardial infarction met the inclusion criteria and were further stratified into the STEMI (n=5828) and NSTEMI (n=6443) groups. The occurrence of mortality and cardiac mortality at 3 years were compared between groups, and the factors associated with mortality for NSTEMI and STEMI were evaluated. RESULTS The comparison between these two groups and long-term follow-up outcomes showed that the cumulative rates of all-cause and cardiac mortality were higher in the NSTEMI group than in the STEMI group [all-cause mortality: 10.9% vs. 5.8%; hazards ratio (HR), 0.464; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.359-0.600, p<0.001; cardiac mortality: 6.6% vs. 3.5%, HR, 0.474; 95% CI, 0.344-0.654, p<0.001, respectively). In the NSTEMI group, low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF; <40%), no percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), old age (≥65 years), and low hemoglobin level (<12 g/dL) were identified as risk factors for 3-year mortality. In the STEMI group, old age, low glomerular filtration rate (<60 mL/min/1.73 m²), low LVEF, high heart rate (>100 beats/min), no PCI, and low hemoglobin level were identified as the risk factors for 3-year mortality. CONCLUSION The NSTEMI group had higher mortality compared to the STEMI group during the 3-year clinical follow-up after discharge. Low LVEF and no PCI were the main risk factors for mortality in the NSTEMI group. In contrast, old age and renal dysfunction were the risk factors for long-term mortality in the STEMI group.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS We aimed to evaluate the prevalence, characteristics, and clinical outcomes of spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) in young female patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). METHODS We identified 8,250 patients diagnosed with AMI who underwent coronary angiogram from the Chonnam National University Hospital database, Gwangju, Korea, between November 2005 and September 2017. A total of 148 female patients aged less than 60 years with a history of AMI were retrospectively studied and the characteristics and clinical outcomes were evaluated for all SCAD patients. RESULTS Among female patients with AMI aged less than 60 years, the prevalence of SCAD was 8.78% (13 of 148). Based on the angiographic classification, type 2 SCAD was most commonly observed on angiograms in 69.2% of the cases (nine of 13), followed by type 3 in 23.1% (three of 13), and type 1 in 7.7% (one of 13). Furthermore, the left anterior descending (LAD) artery was the most commonly affected coronary artery (76.9%, 10 of 13 cases) and the distal segments of the coronary arteries were the most common sites of SCAD (92.3%, 12 of 13). Regarding the clinical outcomes, one of 13 patients experienced repeat revascularization during the following 31 months. CONCLUSION The prevalence of SCAD was 8.7%, indicating that SCAD is not rare, among female patients aged less than 60 years with AMI in Korea. Type 2 SCAD was most commonly observed on angiogram. Moreover, the distal portion of the LAD was the segment most commonly affected by SCAD. The long-term clinical outcomes were favorable in patients surviving SCAD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Optimal dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) duration for medically managed acute coronary syndrome (ACS) (MMACS) patients is still unknown. We explored the efficacy and safety of ≥ 12-month DAPT among MMACS patients. METHODS In this sub-analysis of the optimal antiplatelet therapy for Chinese Patients with Coronary Artery Disease study (NCT01735305), clinical outcomes among MMACS patients were compared between the < 12-month and ≥ 12-month DAPT groups. The primary efficacy endpoint was a composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, and stroke. Safety endpoints included the Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) 2-5, BARC 3-5, and all bleeding events. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to compare baseline characteristics between the < 12-month and ≥ 12-month DAPT groups. RESULTS In this cohort of ACS patients (n = 10,016), MMACS patients (n = 2967) were less likely to use DAPT at 12 (31.64% vs. 67.47%, P < 0.0001) and 24 (13.82% vs. 18.71%, P < 0.0001) months and experienced more ischemic events at 12 (4.55% vs. 3.40%, P = 0.006) and 24 (6.88% vs. 5.08%, P = 0.0004) months than those treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (n = 7049). Among MMACS patients, the rate of primary efficacy endpoint occurring within the second year was significantly higher in the < 12-month DAPT group than in the ≥ 12-month group both before (2.88% vs. 1.60%, P = 0.040) and after (3.19% vs. 1.71%, P = 0.045) PSM. After PSM, no significant differences in all bleeding, BARC 2-5, and BARC 3-5 bleeding were found between the groups. CONCLUSION MMACS patients with insufficient DAPT management experienced relatively more ischemic events. DAPT for at least 1 year may be beneficial to this special population without significantly increasing the bleeding risks. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov identifier, NCT01735305.

Long-Term Clinical Outcome according to Changes of Glomerular Filtration Rate in AMI Patients with Multivessel Disease after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention. Chonnam Med J 2020; 56:121-129. [PMID: 32509559 PMCID: PMC7250665 DOI: 10.4068/cmj.2020.56.2.121] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2020] [Revised: 02/20/2020] [Accepted: 02/25/2020] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is an important indicator of renal failure. However, regarding delta GFR in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is rare. In this study, it was examined whether the delta GFR had an adverse effect on outcomes in patients with AMI and multivessel disease (MVD). Among 13,105 consecutive patients enrolled in the Korea Acute Myocardial Infarction–National Institute of Health registry, 2619 with AMI and MVD who underwent percutaneous cardiac intervention (PCI) were assigned to the better delta GFR (group I, n=1432 [54.7%]) or worse delta GFR (group II, n=1187 [45.3%]) groups and followed for 3 or more years. The mean age of group I was lower than that of group II (62.64±11.52 years vs. 64.29±11.64 years; p<0.001). On multivariate analysis, delta GFR (hazard ratio, 1.50; 95% confidence interval, 1.05-2.13; p=0.024) was a negative risk factor for adverse cardiac events. Age over 65 years (p<0.001), history of MI (p=0.008), low hemoglobin (p<0.001), high triglyceride (p=0.008), low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (p=0.002), and low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (p<0.001) were prognostic factors for major adverse cardiac events (MACE). In patients with a GFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2, mortality was increased by 0.9% in the multivessel PCI group and 0.7% in the IRA-only PCI group at the 1-year follow-up. According to the 3-year clinical follow-up analysis, prognosis was better in better delta GFR patients with AMI and MVD who underwent PCI than in worse delta GFR patients.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease, especially acute myocardial infarction (AMI), is a leading cause of death in the Asia-Pacific region. The Korea Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry (KAMIR) is the first nationwide, prospective, multicenter registry of Korean patients with AMI. Since the KAMIR first began in November 2005, more than 70,000 patients have been enrolled, and 230 papers have been published (as of October 2018). Moreover, published data from the KAMIR have revealed different characteristics from those of Western AMI registries regarding risk factors, interventional strategies, and clinical outcomes. As a result, the KAMIR study has improved the outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention and reduced mortality. We propose the use of the KAMIR score in the prediction of 1-year mortality. Using data from the KAMIR, we provide an overview of the current status of AMI in Korea, including trends in demographic characteristics, risk factors, medications, treatment strategies, and clinical outcomes.
