Clin Ther 2024:S0149-2918(24)00149-8. [PMID: 38991865 DOI: 10.1016/j.clinthera.2024.06.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2024] [Revised: 06/11/2024] [Accepted: 06/11/2024] [Indexed: 07/13/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease remains a prominent global cause of mortality, with coronary artery disease representing its most prevalent manifestation. Recently, a novel class of antidiabetic medication, namely sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, has been reported to have remarkable cardiorenal advantages for individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), and they may reduce cardiorenal risk even in individuals without pre-existing DM. Currently, there is no evidence regarding the safety and efficacy of these drugs in acute coronary syndrome (ACS), regardless of diabetes status. This review aims to comprehensively present the available preclinical and clinical evidence regarding the potential role of SGLT2 inhibitors in the context of ACS, as adjuncts to standard-of-care treatment for this patient population, while also discussing potential short- and long-term cardiovascular benefits. METHODS A literature search was performed through MEDLINE (via PubMed), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Scopus until February 26, 2024. Eligible were preclinical and clinical studies, comprising randomized controlled trials (RCTs), real-world studies, and meta-analyses. FINDINGS Evidence from preclinical models indicates that the use of SGLT2 inhibitors is associated with a blunted ischemia-reperfusion injury and decreased myocardial infarct size, particularly after prior treatment. Although RCTs and real-world data hint at a potential benefit in acute ischemic settings, showing improvements in left ventricular systolic and diastolic function, decongestion, and various cardiometabolic parameters such as glycemia,body weight, and blood pressure, the recently published DAPA-MI (Dapagliflozin in Myocardial Infarction without Diabetes or Heart Failure) trial did not establish a clear advantage regarding surrogate cardiovascular end points of interest. SGLT2 inhibitors appear to provide a benefit in reducing contrast-induced acute kidney injury events in patients with ACS undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. However, data on other safety concerns, such as treatment discontinuation because of hypotension, hypovolemia, or ketoacidosis, are currently limited. IMPLICATIONS Despite the well-established cardiovascular benefits observed in the general population with type 2 DM and, more recently, in other patient groups irrespective of diabetes status, existing evidence does not support the use of SGLT2 inhibitors in the context of ACS. Definitive answers to this intriguing research question, which could potentially expand the therapeutic indications of this novel drug class, require large-scale, well-designed RCTs.

Representativeness in randomised clinical trials supporting acute coronary syndrome guidelines. EUROPEAN HEART JOURNAL. QUALITY OF CARE & CLINICAL OUTCOMES 2023; 9:796-805. [PMID: 36702530 PMCID: PMC10745262 DOI: 10.1093/ehjqcco/qcad007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 17.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2022] [Revised: 01/12/2023] [Accepted: 01/23/2023] [Indexed: 01/28/2023]
Abstract
AIMS Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) are published to guide the management of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We aimed to critically appraise the representativeness and standard of care of randomised clinical trials (RCTs) supporting CPGs for ACS. METHODS AND RESULTS American and European CPGs for ST- and non-ST-elevation ACS were screened to extract all references (n = 2128) and recommendations (n = 600). Among the 407 primary publications of RCTs (19.1%), there were 52.6 and 73.2% recruiting patients in North America and Europe, respectively, whereas other regions were largely under-represented (e.g. 25.3% RCTs recruited in Asia). There was 68.6% RCTs enrolling patient with ACS, whereas the remaining 31.4% did not enrol any patient with ACS. There was under-representation of some important subgroups, including elderly, female (29.9%), and non-white patients (<20%). The incidence and type of reperfusion reported in these RCTs were not reflective of current clinical practice (the percentage of patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) among all RCTs was 42.7%; whereas for ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction patients, the number of participants who underwent fibrinolysis was 3.3-fold higher than those who underwent primary PCI). All-cause mortality in these RCTs was 11.9% in RCTs with a follow-up ≤ 1 year. CONCLUSION Randomised clinical trials supporting CPGs for ACS are not fully representative of the diversity of the ACS population and their current standard of care. While some of these issues with representativeness may be explained by how evidence has been accrued over time, efforts should be made by trialists to ensure that the evidence supporting CPGs is representative of the wider ACS population.

[PMID: 37902821 PMCID: PMC10644192 DOI: 10.2196/49892] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2023] [Revised: 08/21/2023] [Accepted: 08/23/2023] [Indexed: 10/31/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Myocardial infarction (MI) is a debilitating condition and a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Digital health is a promising approach for delivering secondary prevention to support patients with a history of MI and for reducing risk factors that can lead to a future event. However, its potential can only be fulfilled when the technology meets the needs of the end users who will be interacting with this secondary prevention. OBJECTIVE We aimed to gauge the opinions of patients with a history of MI and health professionals concerning the functions, features, and characteristics of a digital health solution to support post-MI care. METHODS Our approach aligned with the gold standard participatory co-design procedures enabling progressive refinement of feedback via exploratory, confirmatory, and prototype-assisted feedback from participants. Patients with a history of MI and health professionals from Australia attended focus groups over a videoconference system. We engaged with 38 participants across 3 rounds of focus groups using an iterative co-design approach. Round 1 included 8 participants (4 patients and 4 health professionals), round 2 included 24 participants (11 patients and 13 health professionals), and round 3 included 22 participants (14 patients and 8 health professionals). RESULTS Participants highlighted the potential of digital health in addressing the unmet needs of post-MI care. Both patients with a history of MI and health professionals agreed that mental health is a key concern in post-MI care that requires further support. Participants agreed that family members can be used to support postdischarge care and require support from the health care team. Participants agreed that incorporating simple games with a points system can increase long-term engagement. However, patients with a history of MI emphasized a lack of support from their health care team, family, and community more strongly than health professionals. They also expressed some openness to using artificial intelligence, whereas health professionals expressed that users should not be aware of artificial intelligence use. CONCLUSIONS These results provide valuable insights into the development of digital health secondary preventions aimed at supporting patients with a history of MI. Future research can implement a pilot study in the population with MI to trial these recommendations in a real-world setting.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Contemporary data on the epidemiology of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in Vietnam are extremely limited. METHODS We established population-based registries of residents from 2 provinces in a northern urban (Hai Phong), and a central rural (Thanh Hoa), province of Vietnam hospitalized with a validated first AMI in 2018. We described patient characteristics, in-hospital management and clinical complications, and estimated incidence rates of AMI in these two registries. RESULTS A total of 785 patients (mean age = 71.2 years, 64.7% men) were admitted to the two hospitals with a validated first AMI. Approximately 64% of the AMI cases were ST-segment-elevation AMI. Patients from Thanh Hoa compared with Hai Phong were more likely to delay seeking acute hospital care. The incidence rates (per 100,000 population) of initial AMI in Thanh Hoa and Hai Phong were 16 and 30, respectively. Most patients were treated with aspirin (Thanh Hoa: 96%; Hai Phong: 90%) and statins (both provinces: 91%) during their hospitalization. A greater proportion of patients in Hai Phong (69%) underwent percutaneous revascularization than those in Thanh Hoa (58%). The most common in-hospital complications were heart failure (both provinces:12%), cardiogenic shock (Thanh Hoa: 10%; Hai phong: 7%); and cardiac arrest (both provinces: 9%). The in-hospital case-fatality rates for patients from Thanh Hoa and Hai Phong were 6.8% and 3.8%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The incidence and hospital case-fatality rates of AMI were low in two Vietnamese provinces. Extent of pre-hospital delay and in-hospital use of evidence-based therapies were suboptimal, being more prominent in the rural province.

Abstract
Sodium glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors improve cardiorenal outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, and chronic heart failure. SGLT2 inhibitors also reduce the risk of cardiovascular mortality and hospitalization for heart failure among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and a remote history of myocardial infarction (MI). As a result of the growing body of evidence in diverse disease states, and the hypothesized mechanisms of action, it is reasonable to consider the potential of SGLT2 inhibition to improve outcomes in patients with acute MI as well if initiated early after presentation. Whether these therapies are efficacious and safe to use early in the course of acute coronary heart disease remains relatively unexplored. Here, we describe the contemporary data and continuing evidence gap for considering the use of SGLT2 inhibitors early following an acute MI to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the association of serum growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15) with in-hospital mortality and arrhythmic risks in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). A total of 296 consecutive patients with AMI were enrolled in our hospital from Jan. 2018 to Dec. 2020. Serum GDF-15 levels were measured at baseline. The primary endpoint was in-hospital all-cause mortality, and the secondary endpoint was major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) during hospitalization, defined as a composite of cardiovascular death, heart failure, sustained ventricular arrhythmias (ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation), and bleeding. During hospitalization, patients with a higher GDF-15 level had significantly higher incidences of in-hospital mortality (7.4% vs 1.4%; P = .02) and MACEs (9.5% vs 20.9%, P < .01) than those with a lower GDF-15 level. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that a higher GDF-15 level was significantly associated with increased risks of in-hospital mortality (OR = 1.92, 95% CI: 1.44-2.50; P < .01) and MACEs (OR = 2.19, 95% CI: 1.56-2.77; P < .01). In conclusion, GDF-15 was associated with the risks of in-hospital mortality and MACEs, indicating that it should be a prognostic biomarker for patients with AMI.

Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) has heterogeneous patterns of presentation concerning symptoms,
duration of episodes, AF burden, and the tendency to progress towards the terminal step of
permanent AF. AF is associated with a risk of stroke/thromboembolism traditionally
considered dependent on patient-level risk factors rather than AF type, AF burden, or
other characterizations. However, the time spent in AF appears related to an incremental
risk of stroke, as suggested by the higher risk of stroke in patients with clinical AF vs.
subclinical episodes and in patients with non-paroxysmal AF vs. paroxysmal AF. In patients
with device-detected atrial tachyarrhythmias, AF burden is a dynamic process with
potential transitions from a lower to a higher maximum daily arrhythmia burden, thus
justifying monitoring its temporal evolution. In clinical terms, the appearance of the
first episode of AF, the characterization of the arrhythmia in a specific AF type, the
progression of AF, and the response to rhythm control therapies, as well as the clinical
outcomes, are all conditioned by underlying heart disease, risk factors, and
comorbidities. Improved understanding is needed on how to monitor and modulate the effect
of factors that condition AF susceptibility and modulate AF-associated outcomes. The
increasing use of wearables and apps in practice and clinical research may be useful to
predict and quantify AF burden and assess AF susceptibility at the individual patient
level. This may help us reveal why AF stops and starts again, or why AF episodes, or
burden, cluster. Additionally, whether the distribution of burden is associated with
variations in the propensity to thrombosis or other clinical adverse events. Combining the
improved methods for data analysis, clinical and translational science could be the basis
for the early identification of the subset of patients at risk of progressing to a longer
duration/higher burden of AF and the associated adverse outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Triglyceride glucose (TyG) index is considered a new surrogate marker of insulin resistance that associated with the development of vascular disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of TyG index in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 3181 patients with AMI were included in the analysis. Patients were stratified into 2 groups according to their TyG index levels: the TyG index <8.88 group and the TyG index ≥8.88 group. The incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) during a median of 33.3-month follow-up were recorded. Multivariable Cox regression models revealed that the TyG index was positively associated with all-cause death [HR (95% CI): 1.51 (1.10,2.06), p = 0.010], cardiac death [HR (95% CI): 1.68 (1.19,2.38), p = 0.004], revascularization [HR (95% CI): 1.50 (1.16,1.94), p = 0.002], cardiac rehospitalization [HR (95% CI): 1.25 (1.05,1.49), p = 0.012], and composite MACEs [HR (95% CI): 1.19 (1.01,1.41), p = 0.046] in patients with AMI. The independent predictive effect of TyG index on composite MACEs was mainly reflected in the subgroups of male gender and smoker. The area under the curve (AUC) of the TyG index predicting the occurrence of MACEs in AMI patients was 0.602 [95% CI 0.580,0.623; p < 0.001]. CONCLUSION High TyG index levels appeared to be associated with an increased risk of MACEs in patients with AMI. The TyG index might be a valid predictor of cardiovascular outcomes of patients with AMI. TRIAL REGISTRATION Retrospectively registered.
