Abstract
Autoimmune Rheumatic Diseases (AIRDs) are associated with increased cardiovascular mortality. However, the post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) outcomes in this population present a research gap, given the limited and discordant findings in existing studies. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the relationship between AIRDs and clinical outcomes after PCI; 9 studies with 7,027,270 patients (126,914 with AIRD, 6,900,356 without AIRD) were included. The AIRD cohort was characterized by an older age, a predominantly female demographic, and a greater prevalence of hypertension and diabetes mellitus. Over a mean follow-up period of 4.6 ± 3.5 years, AIRD patients demonstrated significantly higher odds of all-cause mortality (odds ratio (OR) 1.45, 95% CI: 1.25-1.78, P < .001) and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (OR 1.63, 95% CI: 1.01-2.62, P = .04) compared with non-AIRD patients. Sensitivity analysis using adjusted estimates, confirmed the higher all-cause mortality (hazard ratio 1.32, 95% CI: 1.05-1.64, P = .01). Patients with rheumatoid arthritis had a significantly elevated odds of all-cause mortality (OR 1.50, 95% CI: 1.27-1.77) and MACE (OR 1.18, 95% CI: 1.14-1.21). Our study demonstrated an association between AIRDs and suboptimal long-term outcomes post-PCI. Prospective studies are warranted to explore the risk factors of unfavorable prognoses in patients with AIRDs.

Abstract
Background
Rheumatic immune mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) are associated with high risk of acute coronary syndrome. The long‐term prognosis of acute coronary syndrome in patients with rheumatic IMIDs is not well studied.
Methods and Results
We identified Medicare beneficiaries admitted with a primary diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI) from 2014 to 2019. Outcomes of patients with MI and concomitant rheumatic IMIDs including systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic sclerosis, dermatomyositis, or psoriasis were compared with propensity matched control patients without rheumatic IMIDs. One‐to‐three propensity‐score matching was done for exact age, sex, race, ST‐segment–elevation MI, and non–ST‐segment–elevation MI variables and greedy approach on other comorbidities. The study primary outcome was all‐cause mortality. The study cohort included 1 654 862 patients with 3.6% prevalence of rheumatic IMIDs, the most common of which was rheumatoid arthritis, followed by systemic lupus erythematosus. Patients with rheumatic IMIDs were younger, more likely to be women, and more likely to present with non–ST‐segment–elevation MI. Patients with rheumatic IMIDs were less likely to undergo coronary angiography, percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting. After propensity‐score matching, at median follow up of 24 months (interquartile range 9–45), the risk of mortality (adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 1.15 [95% CI, 1.14–1.17]), heart failure (HR, 1.12 [95% CI 1.09–1.14]), recurrent MI (HR, 1.08 [95% CI 1.06–1.11]), and coronary reintervention (HR, 1.06 [95% CI, 1.01–1.13]) (
P
<0.05 for all) was higher in patients with versus without rheumatic IMIDs.
Conclusions
Patients with MI and rheumatic IMIDs have higher risk of mortality, heart failure, recurrent MI, and need for coronary reintervention during follow‐up compared with patients without rheumatic IMIDs.

Autoimmune diseases in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: A risk factor for in-stent restenosis? Atherosclerosis 2021; 333:24-31. [PMID: 34418682 DOI: 10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2021.08.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2021] [Revised: 06/25/2021] [Accepted: 08/04/2021] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Despite the relation between autoimmune diseases and increased atherosclerotic risk is established, the influence of autoimmune disorders on in-stent restenosis (ISR) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is only partly known. ISR is an aberrant reparative process mainly characterized by an increased number of vascular smooth muscle cells and excessive deposition of extracellular proteoglycans and type III collagen. Chronic inflammation, always present in autoimmune diseases, modulates the endothelial response to PCI. Aim of this review is to resume the current evidence on the association between ISR and autoimmune diseases, focusing on pathogenic mechanisms and therapeutic targets. METHODS We conducted a comprehensive review of the literature on the relationship between ISR and insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), antiphospholipid-antibodies syndrome (APS), inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), and Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT). RESULTS Patients affected with IDDM, RA, SLE, APS, IBD and HT proved to face higher rates of ISR compared to the general population. The endothelial dysfunction seems the principal common pathogenic pathway for ISR and is attributed to both the immune system disorder and the systemic inflammation. Some evidence suggested that methotrexate and anti-tumor necrosis factor treatments can be effective in reducing ISR, while antibodies against vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 showed to reduce neointimal hyperplasia in animal models. CONCLUSIONS Autoimmune diseases are a risk factor for ISR. The study of the potential cardiovascular benefits of the current therapies, mainly anti-inflammatory drugs, and the pursuit of innovative treatments appear of paramount interest.

Abstract
Up to 15% of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients experience severe clinical presentation, resulting in acute respiratory distress (ARDS) and finally death. N-terminal natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is associated with a worse prognosis in patients with ARDS. However, whether or not this peptide can help discriminate high-risk COVID-19 patients remains unclear. Therefore, in this meta-analysis, we summarized the available evidence on NT-proBNP in patients admitted for COVID-19. Pooled mean, mean differences (MD) and standardized mean difference (SMD) were the summary metrics. Thirteen studies were finally selected for this analysis with a total of 2248 patients, of which 507 had a severe condition (n = 240) or died (n = 267). Pooled mean NT-proBNP levels on admission were 790.57 pg/mL (95% confidence intervals (CIs): 532.50 to 1048.64) in patients that experienced a severe clinical condition or died, and 160.56 pg/mL (95% CI: 118.15 to 202.96) in non-severe patients (SMD: 1.05; 95% (CI): 0.83 to 1.28; p < 0.001; I2 74%; and MD was 645.84 pg/mL (95% CI: 389.50–902.18). Results were consistent in studies categorizing patients as non-survivors versus survivors (SMD: 1.17; 95% CI 0.95 to 1.40; p < 0. 001; I2: 51%), and in those classifying populations in severe versus non-severe clinical condition (SMD: 0.94 95% CI 0.56 to 1.32; p < 0.001; I2: 81%; pinteraction = 0.30). In conclusion, our results suggest that assessing NT-proBNP may support physicians in discriminating high-risk COVID-19 patients.
