Abstract
AIMS We aimed to explored the association between the use of optimal medical therapy (OMT) in patients with myocardial infarction (AMI) and diabetes mellitus (DM) and clinical outcomes. METHODS Bleeding complications in a Multicenter registry of patients discharged with diagnosis of Acute Coronary Syndrome (BleeMACS) is an international registry that enrolled participants with acute coronary syndrome followed up for at least 1 year across 15 centers from 2003 to 2014. Baseline characteristics and endpoints were analyzed. RESULTS Among 3095 (23.2%) patients with AMI and DM, 1898 (61.3%) received OMT at hospital discharge. OMT was associated with significantly reduced mortality (4.3% vs. 10.8%, p < 0.001), re-AMI (4.4% vs. 8.1%, p < 0.001), and composite endpoint of death/re-AMI (8.0% vs. 17.6%, p < 0.001). No difference was observed among regions. Propensity score matching confirmed that OMT significantly associated with lower mortality. After adjusting for confounding variables, OMT, drug-eluting stents, and complete revascularization were independent protective factors of 1-year mortality, whereas left ventricular ejection fraction and age were risk factors. CONCLUSIONS Guideline-recommended OMT was prescribed at suboptimal frequencies with geographic variations in this worldwide cohort. OMT can improve long-term clinical outcomes in patients with DM and AMI. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT02466854 June 9, 2015.

[PMID: 36780372 DOI: 10.1016/j.ahj.2022.10.082] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2022] [Revised: 10/11/2022] [Accepted: 10/25/2022] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) in patients with diabetes mellitus and multi-vessel disease has been questioned by the results of the FREEDOM trial, which showed superiority of coronary artery bypass graft(CABG) over first generation drug-eluting stents (DES) including a reduction in mortality. In the light of safer and more efficacious stents and significantly better medical management, those results that date back to 2012 need to be revisited. TUXEDO-2 is a study designed to compare two contemporary stents in Indian diabetic patients with multi-vessel disease. AIMS The primary objective of the TUXEDO-2 study is to compare the clinical outcomes of PCI with ultra-thin Supraflex Cruz vs Xience when combined with contemporary optimal medical therapy (OMT) in diabetic patients with multi-vessel disease. The secondary objective is to compare clinical outcomes between a pooled cohort from both arms of the study (Supraflex Cruz + Xience; PCI arm) vs CABG based on a performance goal derived from the CABG arm of the FREEDOM trial (historical cohort). The tertiary objective is a randomized comparison of ticagrelor vs prasugrel in addition to aspirin for the composite of ischemic and bleeding events. METHODS In this prospective, open-label, multi-centre, 2 × 2 factorial, randomized, controlled study, 1,800 patients with diabetes mellitus and multi-vessel disease (inclusion criteria similar to FREEDOM trial) with indication for coronary revascularization will be randomly assigned to Supraflex Cruz or Xience stents and also to ticagrelor- or prasugrel- based antiplatelet strategies. All patients will receive guideline directed OMT and optimal PCI including image- and physiology-guided complete revascularization where feasible. The patients will be followed through five years to assess their clinical status and major clinical events. The primary endpoint is a non-inferiority comparison of target lesion failure at one-year for Supraflex Cruz vs Xience (primary objective) with an expected event rate of 11% and a non-inferiority margin of 4.5%. For PCI vs CABG (secondary objective), the primary endpoint is major adverse cardiac events (MACE), defined as a composite of all cause death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, or stroke at one-year and yearly up to five years, with a performance goal of 21.6%. For ticagrelor vs prasugrel (tertiary objective), the primary endpoint is composite of death, myocardial infarction, stroke, and major bleeding as per the Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) at one-year with expected event rate of 15% and a non-inferiority margin of 5%. CONCLUSIONS The TUXEDO-2 study is a contemporary study involving state-of-the-art PCI combined with guideline directed OMT in a complex subset of patients with diabetes mellitus and multi-vessel disease. The trial will answer the question as to whether a biodegradable polymer coated ultra-thin Supraflex Cruz stent is an attractive option for PCI in diabetic patients with multi-vessel disease. It will also help address the question whether the results of FREEDOM trial would have been different in the current era of safer and more efficacious stents and modern medical therapy. In addition, the comparative efficacy and safety of ticagrelor vs prasugrel in addition to aspirin will be evaluated. (CTRI/2019/11/022088).

Jiang Z, Liu L, Bundhun PK. Cardiovascular Outcomes Observed with Ticagrelor versus Clopidogrel in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Meta-analysis. Diabetes Ther 2023; 14:387-399. [PMID: 36542307 PMCID: PMC9943993 DOI: 10.1007/s13300-022-01354-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2022] [Accepted: 12/05/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is often associated with macrovascular complications including cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), resulting in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Newer potent antiplatelet agents have recently been approved for use in clinical practice. In this analysis, we aimed to systematically compare the cardiovascular outcomes observed with ticagrelor versus clopidogrel in T2DM patients with ACS. METHODS From August to September 2022, electronic databases were searched for publications that compared cardiovascular outcomes observed with ticagrelor versus clopidogrel in patients with T2DM. The statistical analysis was carried out using RevMan 5.4 software. A random effect statistical model was used to analyze the data. Risk ratios (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to represent the data post analysis. RESULTS A total of 5868 participants with T2DM were included in this analysis, of which 1944 participants were assigned to the ticagrelor group and 3924 participants were assigned to the clopidogrel group. Our analysis showed that ticagrelor was associated with a significantly lower risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) (RR: 0.64, 95% CI: 0.49-0.84; P = 0.001), all-cause mortality (RR: 0.65, 95% CI: 0.51-0.83; P = 0.0004), and cardiac death (RR: 0.60, 95% CI: 0.43-0.84; P = 0.003) in comparison to clopidogrel. However, the risks of repeated revascularization (RR: 1.48, 95% CI: 0.44-4.99; P = 0.53), stent thrombosis (RR: 0.70, 95% CI: 0.18-2.71; P = 0.60), reinfarction (RR: 0.85, 95% CI: 0.58-1.23; P = 0.39), and stroke (RR: 0.56, 95% CI: 0.14-2.21; P = 0.41) were similar. Ticagrelor was associated with a significantly higher risk of minor bleeding (RR: 1.53, 95% CI: 1.07-2.19; P = 0.02), whereas the risk for major bleeding (RR: 1.08, 95% CI: 0.55-2.10; P = 0.82) was not significantly different. CONCLUSIONS In these T2DM patients with ACS, a significantly lower risk of major adverse cardiovascular events including all-cause mortality was observed in the ticagrelor group compared with the clopidogrel group. However, T2DM patients who were assigned to ticagrelor showed a significantly higher minor bleeding risk. Larger clinical trials should be able to confirm these hypotheses.

Antiplatelet efficacy of ticagrelor versus clopidogrel in Mediterranean patients with diabetes mellitus and chronic coronary syndromes: A crossover pharmacodynamic investigation. Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 9:1057331. [DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.1057331] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2022] [Accepted: 11/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
IntroductionPatients with diabetes mellitus (DM) have augmented platelet reactivity and diminished responsiveness to clopidogrel. Ticagrelor, a more potent P2Y12 inhibitor, is clinically superior to clopidogrel in acute coronary syndromes, although its role in chronic coronary syndromes (CCS) is still the subject of debate. The aim of this investigation was to compare the pharmacodynamic effectiveness of ticagrelor and clopidogrel in Mediterranean DM patients with CCS.Materials and methodsIn this prospective, randomized, crossover study, patients (n = 20) were randomized (1:1) to receive, on top of aspirin therapy, either ticagrelor 180 mg loading dose (LD)/90 mg maintenance dose (MD) b.i.d. or clopidogrel 600 mg LD/75 mg MD o.d. for 1 week in a crossover fashion with a 2–4 week washout period between regimens. Platelet function measurements were performed at 4 timepoints in each period (baseline, 2 h and 24 h after LD, and 1 week), including light transmission aggregometry (LTA, primary endpoint), VASP assay, Multiplate and VerifyNow P2Y12.ResultsThe ticagrelor LD achieved greater platelet inhibitory effect than clopidogrel LD, assessed with LTA (20 μM ADP as agonist), at 2 h (34.9 ± 3.9% vs. 63.6 ± 3.9%; p < 0.001) and 24 h (39.4 ± 3.5% vs. 52.3 ± 3.8%; p = 0.014). After 1 week of therapy, platelet reactivity was again significantly inferior with ticagrelor compared to clopidogrel (30.7 ± 3.0% vs. 54.3 ± 3.0%; p < 0.001). The results were consistent with the other platelet function assays employed.ConclusionIn Mediterranean patients with DM and CCS, ticagrelor provides a more potent antiplatelet effect than clopidogrel after the LD and during the maintenance phase of therapy.Clinical trial registration[ClinicalTrials.gov], identifier [NCT02457130].

Endothelial biomarkers and platelet reactivity on ticagrelor versus clopidogrel in patients after acute coronary syndrome with and without concomitant type 2 diabetes: a preliminary observational study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pleiotropic effects have been implicated in clinical benefits of ticagrelor compared to thienopyridine P2Y12 antagonists. There are conflicting data regarding effects of ticagrelor vs. thienopyridine P2Y12 blockers on endothelial function. Our aim was to compare endothelial biomarkers and their relations with platelet reactivity in real-world patients after acute coronary syndrome (ACS) on maintenance dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with ticagrelor or clopidogrel stratified by diabetes status. METHODS Biochemical indices of endothelial dysfunction/activation and platelet reactivity by multiple electrode aggregometry were compared in 126 stable post-ACS subjects (mean age: 65 ± 10 years, 92 men and 34 women), including patients with (n = 61) or without (n = 65) coexistent type 2 diabetes (T2DM) on uneventful maintenance DAPT with either ticagrelor (90 mg b.d.) or clopidogrel (75 mg o.d.) in addition to low-dose aspirin. Exclusion criteria included a complicated in-hospital course, symptomatic heart failure, left ventricular ejection fraction < 40% and relevant coexistent diseases except for well-controlled diabetes, mild renal insufficiency or hypertension. RESULTS Clinical characteristics were similar in patients on ticagrelor (n = 62) and clopidogrel (n = 64). The adenosine diphosphate-induced platelet aggregation and circulating soluble P-selectin (sP-selectin) were decreased in ticagrelor users irrespective of T2DM status (p < 0.001 and p < 0.01 for platelet reactivity and sP-selectin, respectively). Plasma levels of soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1) were lower in T2DM subjects on ticagrelor vs. clopidogrel (758 ± 162 vs. 913 ± 217 µg/L, p < 0.01). In contrast, plasma sVCAM-1 was similar in non-diabetic patients on ticagrelor and clopidogrel (872 ± 203 vs. 821 ± 210 µg/L, p > 0.7). The concentrations of sE-selectin, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 and asymmetric dimethylarginine did not differ according to the type of P2Y12 antagonist regardless of T2DM status. Platelet reactivity was unrelated to any endothelial biomarker in subjects with or without T2DM. CONCLUSIONS Our preliminary findings may suggest an association of ticagrelor-based maintenance DAPT with favorable endothelial effects compared to clopidogrel users in stable post-ACS patients with T2DM. If proven, this could contribute to more pronounced clinical benefits of ticagrelor in diabetic subjects.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed at determining the epidemiological-clinical and paraclinical particularities of non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) in Malagasy with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS This was a retrospective, descriptive and comparative study between patients with and without T2DM, carried out over a period of 38 months. The diagnosis of NSTE-ACS was retained in front of the association of chest discomfort, electrical abnormalities and elevations beyond fivefold the upper reference limit of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin. RESULT With 130 patients included, the overall prevalence of NSTE-ACS was 4.1%, of which 68 patients (52.3%) had T2DM. Compared to without T2DM, NSTE-ACS in T2DM was characterized by young age (p = .0002), high-frequency hypertension (OR 2.92 [1.23-7.25]; p = .0041), overweight/obesity (OR 4.39 [1.72-12.4]; p = .0002) and microalbuminuria (p < .0001), accelerated heart rate (p = .0104), atypical chest discomfort (OR 5.57 [2.21-15.7]; p < .0001), pulmonary crepitations (OR 2.25 [1.02-5.14]; p = .0224), high GRACE score (p = .0016), damage of extensive anterior leads (OR 2.11 [1.02-4.98]; p = .0402) and septal lead (OR 3.64 [1.41-10.3]; p = .0015), significant increase in cardiac troponin (p < .0001), high left ventricular filling pressure (OR 3.39 [1.51-7.90]; p = .001). CONCLUSION NSTE-ACS in T2DM is frequent, with an atypical clinical and severe paraclinical presentations. Adequate and multidisciplinary management of cardiovascular risk factors, including T2DM, could thus minimize the occurrence of NSTE-ACS and improve this profile.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relative efficacy and safety of more potent P2Y12 inhibitors in patients with acute coronary syndrome and high bleeding risk (HBR) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention remains unclear. We aimed to study the treatment effect of ticagrelor and prasugrel in percutaneous coronary intervention patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome and HBR. METHODS This post hoc analysis of the ISAR-REACT 5 trial (Intracoronary Stenting and Antithrombotic Regimen: Rapid Early Action for Coronary Treatment 5) included patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, randomized to ticagrelor or prasugrel, in whom HBR was defined as per Academic Research Consortium criteria. The primary (efficacy) end point was the composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, or stroke. The secondary (safety) end point was Bleeding Academic Research Consortium type 3 to 5 bleeding. Outcomes were assessed 12 months after randomization. RESULTS Out of the 3239 patients included in this analysis, 486 fulfilled the criteria for Academic Research Consortium-HBR definition (HBR group; ticagrelor, n=230 and prasugrel, n=256), while 2753 did not (non-HBR group; ticagrelor, n=1375 and prasugrel, n=1378). Compared with the non-HBR group, the HBR group had a higher risk for the primary (hazard ratio [HR]=3.57 [95% CI, 2.79-4.57]; P<0.001) and secondary end point (HR=2.94 [2.17-3.99]; P<0.001). In the HBR group, the primary (HR=1.09 [0.73-1.62]) and secondary (HR=1.18 [0.67-2.08]) end points were not significantly different between patients assigned to ticagrelor and prasugrel. In the non-HBR group, the primary end point (HR=1.62 [1.19-2.20]) occurred more frequently in patients assigned to ticagrelor as compared to patients assigned to prasugrel, without difference in safety (HR=1.08 [0.74-1.58]). There was no significant treatment allocation-by-HBR status interaction with respect to the primary (P for interaction=0.12) or secondary (P for interaction=0.80) end points. CONCLUSIONS In patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, HBR status increased both ischemic and bleeding risk without significant impact on the relative efficacy and safety of either ticagrelor or prasugrel. These results warrant confirmation in larger cohorts. REGISTRATION URL: https://www. CLINICALTRIALS gov; Unique identifier: NCT01944800.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The efficacy and safety of ticagrelor vs prasugrel in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) according to body mass index (BMI) remain unstudied. We assessed the efficacy and safety of ticagrelor vs prasugrel in patients with ACS according to BMI. METHODS Patients (n=3987) were grouped into 3 categories: normal weight (BMI <25kg/m2; n=1084), overweight (BMI ≥ 25 to <30kg/m2; n=1890), and obesity (BMI ≥ 30kg/m2; n=1013). The primary efficacy endpoint was the 1 year incidence of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, or stroke. The secondary safety endpoint was the 1 year incidence of Bleeding Academic Research Consortium type 3 to 5 bleeding. RESULTS The primary endpoint occurred in 63 patients assigned to ticagrelor and 39 patients assigned to prasugrel in the normal weight group (11.7% vs 7.5%; HR, 1.62; 95%CI, 1.09-2.42; P=.018), 78 patients assigned to ticagrelor and 58 patients assigned to prasugrel in the overweight group (8.3% vs 6.2%; HR, 1.36; 95%CI, 0.97-1.91; P=.076), and 43 patients assigned to ticagrelor and 37 patients assigned to prasugrel in the obesity group (8.6% vs 7.3%; HR, 1.18; 95%CI, 0.76-1.84; P=.451). The 1-year incidence of bleeding events did not differ between ticagrelor and prasugrel in patients with normal weight (6.5% vs 6.6%; P=.990), overweight (5.6% vs 5.0%; P=.566) or obesity (4.4% vs 2.8%; P=.219). There was no significant treatment arm-by-BMI interaction regarding the primary endpoint (Pint=.578) or secondary endpoint (Pint=.596). CONCLUSIONS In patients with ACS, BMI did not significantly impact the treatment effect of ticagrelor vs prasugrel in terms of efficacy or safety. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT01944800.

Impact of diabetes mellitus on the pharmacodynamic effects of prasugrel and ticagrelor after switching from clopidogrel in patients with coronary artery disease. J Thromb Thrombolysis 2022; 54:461-469. [PMID: 36048358 DOI: 10.1007/s11239-022-02696-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 08/13/2022] [Indexed: 10/14/2022]
Abstract
Switching P2Y12 inhibitors is common in clinical practice. However, data on the pharmacodynamic (PD) effects of switching in clinical settings characterized by high platelet reactivity, such as diabetes mellitus (DM), are limited. This is a post-hoc analysis from a prospective, randomized, open-label study conducted in coronary artery disease patients comparing the PD effects of loading dose (LD) and maintenance dose regimens of prasugrel vs ticagrelor according to DM status. A total of 110 patients were enrolled: 42 (38%) with DM and 68 (62%) without DM. All patients were on maintenance dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and clopidogrel. PD assessments were performed using whole blood vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP), with results quantified by the platelet reactivity index (PRI), VerifyNow P2Y12 (VN-P2Y12) with results reported as P2Y12 reaction units (PRU), and light transmittance aggregometry (LTA) following 20 and 5 µM adenosine diphosphate stimuli with results reported as maximum platelet aggregation (MPA). PD assessments were performed at baseline (while on clopidogrel), 30 min after LD, 2 h after LD, and 1 week after LD. Overall, platelet reactivity was higher in DM than in non-DM patients while on clopidogrel therapy. After switching to either prasugrel or ticagrelor, platelet reactivity dropped but remained significantly higher among patients with DM at 30 min with all tests (VN-PRU p < 0.01, MPA 20 µM p < 0.01, VASP-PRI p = 0.02) and at 2 h with VN-PRU (p < 0.01) and LTA-MPA 20 µM (p < 0.01) but not with VASP-PRI (p = 0.19). There were no significant differences between prasugrel and ticagrelor both among patients with or without DM, except for lower LTA-MPA 20 at 30 min (p < 0.01) among non-DM patients treated with prasugrel. Patients with DM treated with clopidogrel have higher platelet reactivity compared to patients without DM. Although platelet reactivity markedly reduces to a similar extent after switching to prasugrel or ticagrelor, patients with DM persist with increased platelet reactivity compared to patients without DM.Study registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01852175.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antiplatelet therapy is a cornerstone in the secondary prevention of ischemic events following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The new P2Y12 receptor inhibitors prasugrel and ticagrelor have been shown to improve patients' outcomes. Whether or not these drugs have equal efficacy in individuals with or without diabetes is disputed. Furthermore, platelets can be activated by thrombin, which is, at least in part, independent of P2Y12 -mediated platelet activation. Protease-activated receptor (PAR)-1 and -4 are thrombin receptors on human platelets. We sought to compare the in vitro efficacy of prasugrel (n = 121) and ticagrelor (n = 99) to inhibit PAR-mediated platelet aggregation in individuals with type 2 diabetes (prasugrel n = 26, ticagrelor n = 29). MATERIALS AND METHODS We compared P2Y12 -, PAR-1- and PAR-4-mediated platelet aggregation as assessed by multiple electrode platelet aggregometry between prasugrel- and ticagrelor-treated patients without and with type 2 diabetes who underwent acute PCI. RESULTS Overall, there were no differences of P2Y12 -, PAR-1- and PAR-4-mediated platelet aggregation between prasugrel- and ticagrelor-treated patients. However, both drugs inhibited P2Y12 -mediated platelet aggregation stronger, and thereby to a similar extent in patients with type 2 diabetes than in those without diabetes. There was no correlation between either P2Y12 -, or PAR-1- or PAR-4-mediated platelet aggregation and levels of HbA1c or the body mass index (BMI). However, we observed patients with high residual platelet reactivity in response to PAR-1 and PAR-4 stimulation in all cohorts. CONCLUSION Prasugrel and ticagrelor inhibit P2Y12 - and PAR-mediated platelet aggregation in individuals with diabetes to a similar extent, irrespective of HbA1c levels and BMI.

Ideal P2Y12 Inhibitor in Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Review and Current Status. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19158977.

Abstract
Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) has remained the cornerstone for management of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) over the years. Clopidogrel has been the quintessential P2Y12 receptor (platelet receptor for Adenosine 5′ diphosphate) inhibitor for the past two decades. With the demonstration of unequivocal superior efficacy of prasugrel/ticagrelor over clopidogrel, guidelines now recommend these agents in priority over clopidogrel in current management of ACS. Cangrelor has revived the interest in injectable antiplatelet therapy too. Albeit the increased efficacy of these newer agents comes at the cost of increased bleeding and this becomes more of a concern when combined with aspirin. Which P2Y12i is superior over another has been intensely debated over last few years after the ISAR-REACT 5 study with inconclusive data. Three novel antiplatelet agents are already in the pipeline for ACS with all of them succeeding in phase II studies. The search for an ideal antiplatelet remains a need of the hour for optimal reduction of ischemic events in ACS.

Abstract
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have an increased risk of thrombosis and approximately 50% of patients with advanced CKD die because of a cardiovascular disease. In addition to an increased risk of thrombosis, patients with CKD and particularly with advanced CKD, have an increased risk of hemorrhage, which increases parallel to the decline of kidney function. Due to this parallel existence of the prohemorrhagic and prothrombotic phenotype, antiplatelet treatment is difficult in the daily routine and data show that CKD patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are less likely to receive guideline-conform treatment. The underlying mechanisms are currently insufficiently understood and both platelet-dependent mechanisms and also platelet-independent mechanisms are under discussion. Accordingly, there is currently no specific treatment or treatment strategy for patients with CKD. In addition, CKD patients are underrepresented in registration studies on antiplatelet treatment and there are no data from randomized trials for patients with advanced CKD (CKD ≥ 4). Current guideline recommendations are therefore based on subgroup analyses and observational studies. In addition, questions on the duration of treatment, on risk scores for estimation of the risk of hemorrhage and on potential benefits of escalation and de-escalation strategies remain largely unanswered and should therefore be the focus of future studies.

Abstract
Diabetes exacerbates the progression of atherosclerosis and is associated with increased risk of developing acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Approximatively 25-30% of patients admitted for ACS have diabetes. ACS occurs earlier in diabetics and is associated with increased mortality and a higher risk of recurrent ischemic events. An increased proinflammatory and prothrombotic state is involved in the poorer outcomes of diabetic patients. In the past decade advancement in both percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery by-pass graft (CABG) techniques and more potent antiplatelet drugs like prasugrel and ticagrelor improved outcomes of diabetic patients with ACS, but this population still experiences worse outcomes compared to non-diabetic patients. While in ST elevation myocardial infarction urgent PCI is the method of choice for revascularization, in patients with non-ST elevation ACS an early invasive approach is suggested by the guidelines, but in the setting of multivessel (MV) or complex coronary artery disease (CAD) the revascularization strategy is less clear. This review describes the accumulating evidence regarding factors involved in promoting increased incidence and poor prognosis of ACS in patients with diabetes, the evolution over time of prognosis and outcomes, revascularization strategies and antithrombotic therapy studied until now.

Abstract
Antiplatelet agents, with aspirin and P2Y12 receptor antagonists as major key molecules, are currently the cornerstone of pharmacological treatment of atherothrombotic events including a variety of cardio- and cerebro-vascular as well as peripheral artery diseases. Over the last decades, significant changes have been made to antiplatelet therapeutic and prophylactic strategies. The shift from a population-based approach to patient-centered precision medicine requires greater awareness of individual risks and benefits associated with the different antiplatelet strategies, so that the right patient gets the right therapy at the right time. In this review, we present the currently available antiplatelet agents, outline different management strategies, particularly in case of bleeding or in perioperative setting, and develop the concept of high on-treatment platelet reactivity and the steps toward person-centered precision medicine aiming to optimize patient care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Platelets from septic patients exhibit increased reactivity. However, the underlying mechanism of sepsis-induced platelet hyperactivity is still not completely understood. OBJECTIVE P2Y12 is a central receptor for platelet activation. In this study, we investigated the role of platelet P2Y12 in platelet hyperactivity during sepsis. METHODS We measured platelet P2Y12 expression and aggregation in response to ADP in septic patients and cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-treated mice. We also detected the downstream signaling of P2Y12 in resting platelets from patients and mice with sepsis. The role of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain 2 (NOD2)/RIP2/NF-κB/P65 pathway in sepsis-induced platelet P2Y12 high expression was also investigated. Finally, we compared the antiplatelet and antithrombotic effects of clopidogrel, prasugrel, and ticagrelor in experimental sepsis in mice and rats. RESULTS Compared to healthy subjects, platelets from septic patients exhibit P2Y12 hyperactivity and higher P2Y12 expression. pAkt is enhanced and pVASP is impaired in resting platelets from the patients, indicating the constitutive activation of platelet P2Y12 receptor. Mouse sepsis model recapitulates the findings in septic patients. NOD2 deficiency attenuates sepsis-induced platelet P2Y12 high expression, hyperactivity, and thrombosis. Prasugrel and ticagrelor are potent P2Y12 inverse agonists, and exhibit superior antiplatelet and antithrombotic efficacy over clopidogrel in mice and rats with sepsis. CONCLUSIONS NOD2 activation upregulates platelet P2Y12 expression, which is constitutively activated and contributes to platelet hyperactivity in septic status. Compared to clopidogrel, prasugrel and ticagrelor are potent P2Y12 inverse agonists with superior antiplatelet and antithrombotic efficacy in experimental sepsis.

Diabetes mellitus is independently associated with early stent thrombosis in patients undergoing drug eluting stent implantation: Analysis from the Victorian cardiac outcomes registry. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv 2021; 99:554-562. [PMID: 34390170 DOI: 10.1002/ccd.29913] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2021] [Accepted: 07/31/2021] [Indexed: 11/08/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a predictor of restenosis and late stent thrombosis (ST) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting-stents (DES). Real-world data on rates of early ST is lacking. We compared clinical outcomes of patients with and without DM from the Victorian cardiac outcomes registry. METHODS Consecutive patients undergoing PCI with DES were analyzed with primary outcome being ST at 30-days. Secondary outcomes including major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and all-cause mortality. RESULTS Of 43,209 patients included, 9730 (22.5%) had DM. At 30 days, DM was independently associated with higher rates of early ST (0.7% vs. 0.5%) OR 1.41 (95% confidence interval; 1.05-1.87, p = 0.02), MACE (4.1% vs. 3.5%, p = 0.004) and mortality (1.9% vs. 1.5%, p = 0.01). Increased risk was not simply due to treatment. Patients with DM requiring insulin were equally affected in regard to MACE (4.7% vs. 3.9%, p = 0.069) and mortality (1.9%, vs. 1.8%, p = 0.746). On National Death Index linkage, patients with DM had increased all-cause mortality over five-year follow-up (OR 1.69 CI 1.55-1.83, p = < 0.001). CONCLUSION In this large real-world-registry, DM was an independent predictor of early ST, MACE and mortality at 30 days. These data suggest additional therapeutic strategies are required to reduce the risk of early complications in patients with DM undergoing PCI with DES.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease remains the main cause of mortality in individuals with diabetes mellitus (DM) and also results in significant morbidity. Premature and more aggressive atherosclerotic disease, coupled with an enhanced thrombotic environment, contributes to the high vascular risk in individuals with DM. This prothrombotic milieu is due to increased platelet activity together with impaired fibrinolysis secondary to quantitative and qualitative changes in coagulation factors. However, management strategies to reduce thrombosis risk remain largely similar in individuals with and without DM. The current review covers the latest in the field of antithrombotic management in DM. The role of primary vascular prevention is discussed together with options for secondary prevention following an ischaemic event in different clinical scenarios including coronary, cerebrovascular, and peripheral artery diseases. Antiplatelet therapy combinations as well as combination of antiplatelet and anticoagulant agents are examined in both the acute phase and long term, including management of individuals with sinus rhythm and those with atrial fibrillation. The difficulties in tailoring therapy according to the variable atherothrombotic risk in different individuals are emphasized, in addition to the varying risk within an individual secondary to DM duration, presence of complications and predisposition to bleeding events. This review provides the reader with an up-to-date guide for antithrombotic management of individuals with DM and highlights gaps in knowledge that represent areas for future research, aiming to improve clinical outcome in this high-risk population.

Abstract
Importance It is unclear whether ticagrelor or prasugrel hydrochloride is superior for patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Objective To assess the safety and efficacy of ticagrelor vs prasugrel for patients with ACS treated with PCI. Design, Setting, and Participants A prespecified analysis was performed of a postrandomization subgroup of 3377 patients who presented with ACS and were treated with PCI in the investigator-initiated, multicenter, phase 4, open-label Intracoronary Stenting and Antithrombotic Regimen: Rapid Early Action for Coronary Treatment 5 randomized clinical trial, conducted from September 1, 2013, to February 28, 2018. Statistical analysis was performed from September 1, 2020, to January 30, 2021. Analysis was performed according to the intention-to-treat principle. Interventions Patients were randomly assigned to a ticagrelor-based or prasugrel-based strategy. This analysis focuses on the subgroup of patients who underwent PCI that was formed after randomization. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary end point was a composite consisting of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, or stroke at 12 months. The safety end point was Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) type 3 to 5 bleeding. Results The ticagrelor group comprised 1676 patients (1323 men [78.9%]; mean [SD] age, 64.4 [12.0] years), and the prasugrel group comprised 1701 patients (1341 men [78.8%]; mean [SD] age, 64.7 [12.0] years). The primary end point occurred for 162 patients (9.8%) in the ticagrelor group and 120 patients (7.1%) in the prasugrel group (hazard ratio [HR], 1.41; 95% CI, 1.11-1.78; P = .005). Myocardial infarction occurred in 88 patients (5.3%) in the ticagrelor group compared with 55 patients (3.8%) in the prasugrel group (HR, 1.67; 95% CI, 1.19-2.34; P = .003). The safety end point, BARC type 3 to 5 bleeding, occurred in 84 of 1672 patients (5.3%) in the ticagrelor group and 78 of 1680 patients (4.9%) in the prasugrel group (HR; 1.10; 95% CI, 0.81-1.50; P = .54). Conclusions and Relevance Among patients presenting with ACS who were treated with PCI, the incidence of the primary composite end point occurred less frequently for patients who received prasugrel compared with those who received ticagrelor. The incidence of bleeding events was comparable between the 2 groups. These results suggest that, for patients presenting with ACS who undergo PCI, a prasugrel-based strategy is superior to a ticagrelor-based strategy. However, because these observations are based on a postrandomization subgroup, these findings should be regarded as hypothesis generating and dedicated randomized clinical trials may be warranted to confirm these findings. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01944800.
