Abstract
AIMS Current guidelines recommend an early (<24 h) invasive coronary angiography (ICA) strategy in non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) patients with Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) score over 140. Evidence for this recommendation is based on older trials. METHODS AND RESULTS Between 1 February 2016 and 31 July 2021, 1767 patients with a primary diagnosis of NSTE-ACS without indication for urgent ICA underwent ICA during index hospitalization. Six hundred and fifty-five patients underwent early invasive ICA (within 24 h) and 1112 underwent late ICA (between 24 h and 1 week). One hundred and seven patients had a GRACE risk score of 140 or above and 1660 had a GRACE risk score under 140. The primary composite outcome was all-cause mortality, stroke, and recurrent myocardial infarction (MI). Median time from admission to ICA was 13.3 h (IQR 6.0-20.6) for the early group and 59.9 h for the late group (IQR 23.5-96.3). There was no difference between the early and late ICA groups in the primary composite outcome [late catheterization >24 h hazard ratio 1.196, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.969-1.475, P -value 0.096]. A multivariable Cox regression model for the composite outcome revealed no difference between the early and late ICA groups (late catheterization >24 h hazard ratio 1.0735, 95% CI 0.862-1.327, P -value 0.512) with no effect for performing early ICA in patients with GRACE score over 140 (hazard ratio 1.291, 95% CI 0.910-1.831, P -value 0.151). CONCLUSION An early ICA strategy in patients with NSTE-ACS patients and GRACE risk score over 140, compared with late ICA, was not associated with improved composite outcome of death, myocardial infarction, and stroke at 1 year.

The impact of sex differences on 3-year outcomes of patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction after successful stent implantation according to symptom-to-balloon time. Hellenic J Cardiol 2023:S1109-9666(23)00189-6. [PMID: 37866718 DOI: 10.1016/j.hjc.2023.09.018] [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: 08/16/2023] [Revised: 09/27/2023] [Accepted: 09/29/2023] [Indexed: 10/24/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Because no data are available, we compared the 3-year outcomes of patients with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) based on sex and symptom-to-balloon time (SBT). METHODS This study included 4910 patients who were divided into two groups based on SBT: SBT <48 h (n = 3,293, 67.1%) and SBT ≥48 h (n = 1,617, 32.9%). The primary outcome was all-cause death during the 3-year follow-up period. The secondary outcome was major adverse cardiac events (MACE), defined as all-cause death, recurrent myocardial infarction, or repeat coronary revascularization. RESULTS After adjustment, the in-hospital mortality rates for males and females in the SBT <48 h and SBT ≥48 h groups were similar. During a 3-year follow-up period, females in the SBT <48 h group had significantly higher rates of all-cause death (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 1.482; P = 0.006), cardiac death (CD, aHR, 1.617; P = 0.009), and MACE (aHR, 1.268; P = 0.024) than those males in the same groups. Females and males in the SBT ≥48 h group did not differ significantly in the primary and secondary outcomes. In males, the rates of all-cause death (P = 0.008) and CD (P = 0.024) were significantly higher in the SBT ≥48 h group than in the SBT <48 h group. CONCLUSIONS This study has identified a higher 3-year mortality rate in female patients with NSTEMI and SBT <48 h compared to their male counterparts. As such, a more preventive approach may be required to reduce mortality in these female patients.
