Abstract
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a prevalent global cause of death. Research suggests that circular RNAs (circRNAs) play a role in the development of CHD. In this study, we investigated the expression of hsa_circRNA_0000284 in peripheral blood leukocytes (PBLs) obtained from a cohort of 94 CHD patients aged over 50 years, as well as 126 age-matched healthy controls (HC). An in vitro inflammatory and oxidative injury cell model that simulates CHD was used to evaluate changes in hsa_ circRNA _0000284 under stress. CRISPR/Cas9 technology was used to evaluate changes in hsa_circRNA_0000284 expression. An hsa_ circRNA_0000284 overexpression and silencing cell model was used to analyze the biological functions of hsa_circRNA_0000284. Bioinformatics, qRT-PCR, viral transfection technology, and luciferase assays were used to evaluate the potential hsa_circRNA_0000284/miRNA-338-3p/ETS1 axis. Western blotting analysis was performed to detect protein expression. Herein, PBLs from CHD patients exhibited downregulation of hsa_circRNA_0000284 expression. Exposure to oxidative stress and inflammation can induce damage to human umbilical endothelial cells, resulting in the downregulation of hsa_circRNA_0000284 expression. The expression of hsa_circRNA_0000284 in EA-hy926 cells was significantly reduced after the AluSq2 element of hsa_circRNA_0000284 had been knocked out. The expression of hsa_circRNA_0000284 affected proliferation, cycle distribution, aging, and apoptosis in EA-hy926 cells. Consistent with the results of cell transfection experiments and luciferase assays, Western blotting showed that hsa_circRNA_0000284 plays a role in the regulation of hsa-miRNA-338-3p expression. Subsequently, hsa-miRNA-338-3p was found to be involved in the regulation of ETS1 expression.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains one of the leading causes of death globally. In the United States of America, in 2016, 19% of all patients under the age of 65 died of cardiovascular disease despite improvements in primary prevention. The premature clinical onset of symptoms in the young population (<60 years) is much more aggressive than in the older population, and the overall long-term prognosis is poor. CAD appears to have a rapidly progressive form in those under the age of 60 due to genetic predisposition, smoking, and substance abuse, however, the ideal management strategy is still yet to be established. The two primary methods of establishing coronary revascularization are percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). Despite the increasing prevalence of CAD in the young population, they are consistently underrepresented in major randomized clinical trials of each revascularization strategy. Both CABG and PCI are known to have similar survival rates, but PCI is associated with higher repeat revascularization rate. Many argue this may be due to the progressive nature of CAD combined with the vessel patency time required in a patient under 60 with potentially another 20-30 years of life. There is little in literature regarding the outcomes of these various revascularization strategies in populations under 60 years with CAD. This review summarises the current evidence for each revascularisation strategy in patients under the age of 60 and suggests future avenues of research for this unique age group.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Insufficient sleep is a concerning hallmark of modern society because sleep deprivation (SD) is a risk factor for neurodegenerative and cardiometabolic disorders. SD imparts an aging-like effect on learning and memory, although little is known about possible common molecular underpinnings of SD and aging. Here, we examine this question by profiling metabolic features across different tissues after acute SD in young adult and aged mice. METHODS Young adult and aged mice were subjected to acute SD for 5 hours. Blood plasma, hippocampus, and liver samples were subjected to UPLC-MS/MS-based metabolic profiling. RESULTS SD preferentially impacts peripheral plasma and liver profiles (e.g. ketone body metabolism) whereas the hippocampus is more impacted by aging. We further demonstrate that aged animals exhibit SD-like metabolic features at baseline. Hepatic alterations include parallel changes in nicotinamide metabolism between aging and SD in young animals. Overall, metabolism in young adult animals is more impacted by SD, which in turn induces aging-like features. A set of nine metabolites was classified (79% correct) based on age and sleep status across all four groups. CONCLUSIONS Our metabolic observations demonstrate striking parallels to previous observations in studies of learning and memory and define a molecular metabolic signature of sleep loss and aging.

Abstract
Multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD) is characterized by underlying chronic vascular inflammation and occlusion in the coronary arteries, where these patients undergo coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Since post-cardiotomy inflammation is a well known phenomenon after CABG, attenuation of this inflammation is required to reduce perioperative morbidity and mortality. In this study, we aimed to phenotype circulating frequencies and intensities of monocyte subsets and monocyte migration markers, respectively, and to investigate the plasma level of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines between preoperative and postoperative CAD patients and later, to intervene the inflammation with sodium selenite. We found a higher amplitude of inflammation, postoperatively, in terms of CCR1high monocytes and significantly increased pro-inflammatory cytokines, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-1RA. Further, in vitro intervention with selenium displayed mitigating effects on the IL-6/STAT-3 axis of mononuclear cells derived from postoperative CAD patients. In addition, in vitro selenium intervention significantly reduced IL-1β production as well as decreased cleaved caspase-1 (p20) activity by preoperative (when stimulated) as well as postoperative CAD mononuclear cells. Though TNF-α exhibited a positive correlation with blood troponin levels in postoperative CAD patients, there was no obvious effect of selenium on the TNF-α/NF-κB axis. In conclusion, anti-inflammatory selenium might be utilized to impede systemic inflammatory cytokine axes to circumvent aggravating atherosclerosis and further damage to the autologous bypass grafts during the post-surgical period.

Abstract
Young patients represent about 4-10% of the population presenting with acute coronary syndrome. In this focused mini-review, we highlight the data regarding acute coronary syndromes in young patients with atherosclerotic coronary artery disease. Differences in the underlying pathologies and pathophysiological mechanisms should yield to different clinical management and treatment strategies.

Abstract
We assessed sex-related differences in the association of pericardial fat volume (PFV) and obesity measured by body mass index (BMI) with coronary atherosclerotic markers (coronary artery calcium score [CAC], coronary luminal stenosis severity, and coronary plaque) in young patients. Patients (n = 174; age <50 years) with suspected coronary artery disease who underwent 64-slice multidetector computed tomography angiography were enrolled. Females tended to have a younger age and increased BMI, normal coronary arteries (free from luminal stenosis), and increased percentage of absent coronary plaque compared with males. There was a significant independent association between PFV with coronary luminal stenosis and between PFV and BMI with coronary noncalcified plaque presence after adjustment for conventional cardiac risk factors. On the other hand, males showed a more increment in PFV, CAC, percentage of calcified plaque, and percentage of significant coronary luminal stenosis compared with females. There was a significant independent association of PFV with CAC, significant coronary stenosis, and calcified plaque presence, while no association was observed between BMI with coronary markers in young males. In conclusion, PFV, but not BMI, showed a significant independent association with advanced coronary atherosclerosis in young male patients.

Abstract
Background Identification of early signs of atherosclerosis in young adults have the potential to guide early interventions to prevent later cardiovascular disease. We therefore analyzed measures of vascular structure and function and biomarkers of cardiovascular risk in a sample of young healthy adults. Methods Pulse-wave velocity (PWV), carotid-intima media thickness (cIMT) and augmentation index (AIX) were measured in 834 healthy non-smokers (ages 18.0–25.9). Emphasis was put on discriminating between individuals having a vascular structure and function associated with a higher or lower risk, and cluster analysis algorithms were employed to assign the subjects into groups based on these vascular measurements. In addition, a vascular status score (VSS) was calculated by summarizing the results according to quintiles of the vascular measurements. The associations between VSS and cardiovascular biomarkers were examined by regression analyses. Results The cluster analyses did not yield sufficiently distinct clustering (groups of individuals that could be categorized unequivocally as having either a vascular structure and function associated with a higher or lower CVD risk). VSS proved a better classificatory variable. The associations between VSS and biomarkers of cardiovascular risk were analyzed by univariable and multivariable regressions. Only body fat percentage and C-reactive protein (CRP) were independently associated with VSS. Conclusions A VSS calculation, which integrates PWV, cIMT, and AIX measurements is better suited for cardiovascular risk evaluation in young adults than cluster analyses. The independent associations of VSS with body fat percentage and CRP highlight the decisive role of adiposity and systemic inflammation in early atherosclerotic progression and suggests a subordinate role of insulin and lipid metabolism in this age span.

Abstract
Background Prior research has shown higher mortality in women with severe coronary artery disease compared with men, particularly in younger patients. It is unknown if this could be attributable to an adverse risk factor profile. Methods and Results In a population‐based cohort study, we included all adults ≤50 years of age (932 women and 4514 men) who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting from 1995 to 2013 from the SWEDEHEART (Swedish Web System for Enhancement and Development of Evidence‐Based Care in Heart Disease Evaluated According to Recommended Therapies) register. Following inverse probability of treatment weighting, we investigated differences between women and men. Women had a higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors compared with men. There was no difference in early mortality between women and men (unadjusted: 1.3% versus 0.9%; hazard ratio, 1.42; 95% CI, 0.75–2.70; weighted sample: 1.1% versus 1.0%; hazard ratio, 1.10; 95% CI, 0.52–2.30). During a median follow‐up time of 11.8 years, in the unweighted population, the risk of death was greater in women compared with men (hazard ratio, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.13–1.58). However, in the weighted sample, the risk of death was not significantly different in women compared with men (hazard ratio, 1.02; 95% CI, 0.83–1.26). Conclusions Women ≤50 years of age had a higher unadjusted risk of death after coronary artery bypass grafting compared with men, but this was explained by a clustering of cardiovascular risk factors. Female sex per se was not associated with increased mortality or major adverse cardiovascular events. Early mortality was not increased in women compared with men, even though younger women in our study had an increased burden of risk factors known to affect early risk.

Abstract
PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading causes of death. However, the prevalence of CVD in young adults (<40 years of age) has not been well documented. We conducted this study to determine the proportion of CVD in both symptomatic and asymptomatic young adults. MATERIALS AND METHODS Coronary CT angiography images obtained from April 2015 to July 2017 in our institution was retrospectively reviewed. Young adults were separated into two groups according to whether they had experienced chest discomfort. The diagnosis was classified as normal, coronary artery disease (CAD), myocardial bridging (MB), congenital coronary anomaly, congenital cardiac anomaly, cardiomyopathy, and aortic anomaly. The proportion of different diagnoses in two groups and cardiovascular risk factors were analyzed. RESULTS Totally 107 patients (mean age, 35.6 ± 3.55 years) were grouped into 36 cases of symptomatic group and 71 patients of asymptomatic group. Cardiovascular anomalies were found in 61 cases (41%). No significant difference in the occurrence rates of CAD (14% vs 11%, p = 0.53), MB (31% vs 42%, p = 0.51), and congenital coronary anomaly (7% vs 3%, p = 0.26) between groups. Mild arterial stenosis was implied in most CAD cases. Hypertension was the only risk factor significantly correlated with CAD. CONCLUSIONS Although young adults are conventionally identified as low-risk, more than 60% of the cases in our cohort were proved to present cardiovascular anomalies, with no significant relation to cardiac symptoms. Early interventions should be conducted for aggressive CVD subtypes to prevent future acute events.

Abstract
There is a global trend that the average onset age of many human complex diseases is decreasing, and the age of cancer patients becomes more spread out. The age effect on survival is nonlinear in practice and may have one or more important change-points at which the trend of the effect can be very different before and after these threshold ages. Identification of these change-points allows clinical researchers to understand the biologic basis for the complex relation between age and prognosis for optimal prognostic decision. This paper considers estimation of the potentially nonlinear age effect for general partly linear survival models to ensure a valid statistical inference on the treatment effect. A simple and efficient sieve maximum likelihood estimation method that can be implemented easily using standard statistical software is proposed. A data-driven adaptive algorithm to determine the optimal location and the number of knots for the identification of the change-points is suggested. Simulation studies are performed to study the performance of the proposed method. For illustration purpose, the method is applied to a breast cancer data set from the public domain to investigate the effect of onset age on the disease-free survival of the patients. The results revealed that the risk is highest among young patients and young postmenopausal patients, probably because of a change in hormonal environment during a certain phase of menopause.

[PMID: 29423414 PMCID: PMC5750486 DOI: 10.1155/2017/9829487] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2017] [Revised: 09/26/2017] [Accepted: 10/19/2017] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
The aim of this retrospective multicenter registry study was to investigate age-dependent trends in mortality, long-term survival, and comorbidity over time in patients who underwent isolated CABG from 2003 to 2015. The percentage of patients < 60 years of age was 18.9%. Female sex, chronic pulmonary disease, extracardiac arteriopathy, and neurologic dysfunction disease were significantly less frequent in this younger population. The prevalence of BMI ≥ 30, previous myocardial infarction, preoperative severe depressed left ventricular ejection fraction, and history of previous PCI were significantly higher in this population. After PS matching, at 5 years, patients < 60 years of age reported significantly lower overall mortality (p < 0.0001), cardiac-related mortality (p < 0.0001), incidence of acute myocardial infarction (p = 0.01), and stroke rates (p < 0.0001). Patients < 60 years required repeated revascularization more frequently than older patients (p = 0.05). Patients < 60 who underwent CABG had a lower risk of adverse outcomes than older patients. Patients < 60 have a different clinical pattern of presentation of CAD in comparison with more elderly patients. These issues require focused attention in order to design and improve preventive strategies aiming to reduce the impact of specific cardiovascular risk factors for younger patients, such as diet, lifestyle, and weight control.

Abstract
Objectives Few studies have evaluated young adults in their third and fourth decades with coronary artery disease (CAD). This study evaluated the clinical and angiographic profile of young adults (< 35 years) with CAD. Methods A 10-year (2003–2012) retrospective chart reviewwas performed on patients less than 35 years diagnosed withCAD at Inkosi Albert Luthuli Central Hospital, Durban. Results Of the 100 patients who met the study criteria, the majority were male (90%), of Indian ethnicity (79%), and presented with acute coronary syndrome (93%). Smoking (82%), dyslipidaemia (79%) and dysglycaemia (75%) were the most prevalent risk factors. Almost half of the subjects (48%) met criteria for the metabolic syndrome. Angiographic findings revealed multi-vessel (42%), single-vessel (36%) and non-occlusive disease (20%); only two subjects had normal epicardial vessels. Disease severity was influenced by dyslipidaemia (p = 0.002) and positive family history (p = 0.002). Non-coronary aetiologies were identified in 19% of subjects. Conclusions Atherosclerotic disease associated with risk-factor clustering was highly prevalent in young adults with CAD.

Abstract
Data are limited about the prevalence trends of risk factors, lesion morphology, and clinical outcomes of coronary artery disease in patients, aged ≤45 years, undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), between the bare-metal stent (BMS; 1994 to 2002) and drug-eluting stent (DES; 2003 to 2012) eras. From the PCI database at the Cleveland Clinic, we identified 1,640 patients aged ≤45 years and without a history of coronary artery bypass grafting who underwent PCI from 1994 to 2012. There were 883 patients in the BMS era cohort with a mean follow-up period of 13.15 years and 757 in the DES era cohort with a mean follow-up of 5.02 years. The DES era had more obese (51.8% vs 44.7%, p <0.001) and diabetes (23.0% vs 19.5%, p = 0.09) patients. DES era patients had more B2/C lesions (74.0% vs 32.5%, p <0.001), more severe preprocedural stenosis (86.1 ± 12.9 vs 72.2 ± 21.3, p <0.001), and longer lesions (15.5 ± 9.9 vs 9.6 ± 6.8, p <0.001). No difference was observed in the 30-day mortality between the DES and BMS eras. Irrespective of era, diabetics had worse long-term mortality (19.4% vs 9.3%, p <0.001) compared with nondiabetics. Obese patients had similar long-term outcomes compared with nonobese patients. In conclusion, patients aged ≤45 years, who underwent a PCI procedure in the DES era had worse risk factor profiles, including obesity, compared with patients in the BMS era. They also had more complex lesions. Procedural and long-term outcomes of these patients have not changed between the 2 eras. Young diabetic patients have worse long-term outcomes compared with nondiabetics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The total burden of subclinical coronary atherosclerosis is significant in young adults. Serum lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) is an established predictor of morbidity and mortality because of cardiovascular disease. The aim of the present investigation was to evaluate the relationship between subclinical coronary atherosclerosis and serum Lp-PLA2 concentrations in a population of young adults. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 261 individuals younger than 45 years of age who had undergone coronary computed tomography angiography were evaluated. The study group included 101 patients in whom coronary computed tomography angiography detected subclinical coronary atherosclerosis; the control group included 160 sex-matched and age-matched healthy control patients. RESULTS Serum Lp-PLA2 levels were increased significantly in the study group patients compared with the control patients (15.42±11.88 vs. 8.06±4.32 ng/ml, P<0.001). Furthermore, a positive correlation was identified between the Lp-PLA2 levels and the total number of plaques and diseased arteries (r=0.495, P<0.001, and r=0.621, P<0.001, respectively). The presence of mixed plaque composition was also correlated with the Lp-PLA2 levels (r=0.657, P<0.001). Multivariate regression analysis identified four independently significant predictors of subclinical coronary atherosclerosis: high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels, tobacco use, uric acid levels, and serum Lp-PLA2 levels. CONCLUSION The presence of subclinical coronary atherosclerosis is associated independently with Lp-PLA2, and it has potential utility as a novel indicator of cardiovascular disease risk in the young adult population.

Abstract
Background Recently, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (DLK-rs10144321, SIX6-rs1254337, MKRN3-rs12148769, LIN28B-rs7759938, and KCNK9-rs1469039) were found to be strongly associated with age at menarche. Recent studies also suggested that age at menarche is a heritable trait and is associated with risks for obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), cardiovascular disease, and all-cause mortality. Since an association between these five SNPs and premature coronary artery disease (CAD) has never been reported, we investigated whether these SNPs are associated with premature CAD and its severity in a Chinese Han population. Methods We enrolled 432 consecutive patients including 198 with premature CAD (<55 years in men and <65 years in women) and 234 controls. All subjects were genotyped for the five SNPs by the PCR-ligase detection reaction method. The associations between these SNPs and premature CAD and its severity were analyzed. Results The following genotypes were identified: GG, AG, and AA at rs10144321 and rs12148769; TT, AT, and AA at rs1254337; CC, CT, and TT at rs1469039; and TT and CT at rs7759938. Significant differences in genotype distribution frequencies at rs1254337 were found between controls and patients with premature CAD (P<0.05). No associations were found between the five SNPs and the severity of coronary lesions (all P>0.05). Compared with controls, patients with premature CAD had a higher prevalence of T2DM and dyslipidemia, and the proportion of patients with T2DM rose significantly with an increase in the number of stenosed coronary vessels (all P<0.05). After adjustment for the clinical parameters in multivariable analysis, three factors were identified that significantly increased the risk of premature CAD: the AA genotype at rs1254337 (OR: 2.388, 95% CI: 1.190–4.792, P = 0.014), male gender (OR: 1.565, 95% CI: 1.012–2.420, P = 0.044), and T2DM (OR 2.252, 95% CI: 1.233–4.348, P = 0.015). Conclusions Among the five pubertal transition-related gene polymorphisms, we identified an association between rs1254337 and premature CAD in a Chinese Han population.

Abstract
Background South Asians have a higher overall incidence rate and younger age of onset for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) compared to Western populations. However, limited information is available on the association of preventable risk factors and outcomes of AMI among young individuals in Bangladesh. The aim of this study was to determine the risk factors and in-hospital outcome of AMI among young (age ≤40 years) adults in Bangladesh. Methods We conducted a prospective observational study among consecutive 50 patients aged ≤40 years and 50 patients aged >40 years with acute ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) and followed-up in-hospital at the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (NICVD). Clinical characteristics, biochemical findings, diet, echocardiography and in-hospital outcomes were compared between the two groups. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to assess the association between risk factors and in-hospital outcome in young patients adjusting for other confounding variables. Results The mean age of the young and older patient groups was 36.5 ± 4.6 years and 57.0 ± 9.1 years respectively. Male sex (OR 3.4, 95 % CI 1.2 − 9.75), smoking (OR 2.4, 95 % CI 1.04 − 5,62), family history of MI (OR 2.4, 95 % CI 1.11 − 5,54), homocysteine (OR 1.2, 95 % CI 1.08 − 1.36), eating rice ≥2 times daily (OR 3.5, 95 % CI 1.15 − 10.6) and eating beef (OR 4.5, 95 % CI 1.83 − 11.3) were significantly associated with the risk of AMI in the young group compared to older group. In multivariate analysis, older patients had significantly greater chance of developing heart failure (OR 7.5, 95 % CI 1.51 to 37.31), re-infarction (OR 7.0, 95 % CI 1.08 − 45.72), arrhythmia (OR 15.3, 95 % CI 2.69 − 87.77) and cardiogenic shock (OR 69.0, 95 % CI 5.81 − 85.52) than the younger group. Conclusion Younger AMI patients have a different risk profile and better in-hospital outcomes compared to the older patients. Control of preventable risk factors such as smoking, unhealthy diet, obesity and dyslipidemia should be reinforced at an early age in Bangladesh.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are limited data regarding long-term results after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in young adults. We performed a nationwide population-based cohort study to analyze long-term survival, major adverse cardiovascular events, and factors associated with elevated risk in young adults undergoing CABG. METHODS AND RESULTS We included all adult patients ≤50 years of age who underwent primary isolated CABG in Sweden between 1997 and 2013 from the Swedish Web System for Enhancement and Development of Evidence-Based Care in Heart Disease Evaluated According to Recommended Therapies (SWEDEHEART) register. Patient data were linked from national Swedish health data registers to create a study database. We identified 4086 young adults with a mean age of 46 years and 18% women. During a median follow-up time of 10.9 years (interquartile range, 6.4-14.1) 490 (12%) patients died. Survival at 5, 10, and 15 years was 96% (95% CI, 95-96), 90% (95% CI, 89-91), and 82% (95%CI, 80-83), respectively, which was significantly better in comparison with patients aged 51 to 70 years and >70 years who underwent CABG during the same period. The cumulative incidence of death or a major adverse cardiovascular event during 17 years after CABG was mainly driven by myocardial infarction or the need for repeat revascularization. The most important risk factors for all-cause mortality were chronic kidney disease, reduced left ventricular ejection fraction, peripheral vascular disease, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. CONCLUSIONS Long-term survival and freedom from major cardiovascular events after CABG was better in young adults than in older patients. Factors significantly associated with an elevated long-term risk of death or adverse outcome were similar to well-known risk factors for older age groups following CABG.

Abstract
Introduction In this retrospective study, we aimed to determine the risk factors for coronary
artery bypass surgery in patients under 45 years of age, and evaluate the early
postoperative results and the effect of gender. Methods A total of 324 patients under 45 years of age who undergone on-pump coronary
artery bypass surgery between April 12, 2004 and January 10, 2012 were included to
the study. Patients divided into groups as follows: Group 1 consisted of 269 males
(mean age 41.3), Group 2 consisted of 55 females (mean age 41.6). Preoperative
risk factors, intraoperative and postoperative data and early mortality rates of
the groups were compared. Results Smoking rate was significantly higher in Group 1. Diabetes mellitus incidence and
body mass index were significantly higher in Group 2 (P values
P=0.01; P=0.0001; P=0.04
respectively). The aortic cross-clamping and cardiopulmonary bypass time and
number of grafts per patient were significantly higher in Group 1
(P values P=0.04; P=0.04;
P=0.002 respectively). There were no deaths in either
group. Conclusion We found that gender has no effect on early mortality rates of the coronary bypass
surgery patients under 45 years.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this study was to determine the association between heart function, compliance with drug administration, and the mid-term prognosis in Chinese patients with stable premature coronary artery disease (CAD) (male < 55 years and female < 65 years). Methods The study included 512 patients with stable premature CAD. An estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) calculated using the MDRD formula, baseline clinical characteristics, use of medications for coronary secondary prevention therapies (aspirin, β-blocker, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) or angiotensin receptor blockers, or statins), and 2-year follow-up results, in particular major adverse cardiac events (MACEs), were collected and analyzed. Results Patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (18.75%) were more prevalent among men, smokers, those with type 2 diabetes, with a family history of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and with higher white blood cells counts ((8.88 ± 0.35) × 109/L vs. (6.90 ± 0.17) × 109/L) (all P < 0.05) compared to those with preserved LVEF. There was no significant difference between creatinine or eGFR values in the two groups with reduced and preserved LVEF (all P > 0.05). Patients with LVEF < 50% in the MACEs group had a lower ratio of optimal drug administration compared to the MACEs-free group (Z = -0.228, P = 0.820 and Z = -2.167, P = 0.03 respectively). Patients with reduced LVEF had a significantly higher ratio of composite MACEs than patients with preserved LVEF during 2-year follow-up (47.13% vs. 33.50%, P < 0.05). Conclusions Stable premature CAD patients with reduced LVEF have more risk factors, lower medication compliance, and worse 2-year outcomes than those with preserved LVEF.

[PMID: 24647769 PMCID: PMC3960266 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0092577] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2013] [Accepted: 02/24/2014] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Atherothrombotic diseases including cerebrovascular disease (CVD), coronary artery disease (CAD), and peripheral arterial disease (PAD), contribute to the major causes of death in the world. Although several studies showed the association between polyvascular disease and poor cardiovascular (CV) outcomes in Asian population, there was no large-scale study to validate this relationship in this population. Methods and Results This retrospective cohort study included patients with a diagnosis of CVD, CAD, or PAD from the database contained in the Taiwan National Health Insurance Bureau during 2001–2004. A total of 19954 patients were enrolled in this study. The atherothrombotic disease score was defined according to the number of atherothrombotic disease. The study endpoints included acute coronary syndrome (ACS), all strokes, vascular procedures, in hospital mortality, and so on. The event rate of ischemic stroke (18.2%) was higher than that of acute myocardial infarction (5.7%) in our patients (P = 0.0006). In the multivariate Cox regression analyses, the adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) of each increment of atherothrombotic disease score in predicting ACS, all strokes, vascular procedures, and in hospital mortality were 1.41, 1.66, 1.30, and 1.14, respectively (P≦0.0169). Conclusions This large population-based longitudinal study in patients with atherothrombotic disease demonstrated the risk of subsequent ischemic stroke was higher than that of subsequent AMI. In addition, the subsequent adverse CV events including ACS, all stroke, vascular procedures, and in hospital mortality were progressively increased as the increase of atherothrombotic disease score.

Abstract
We present the case of a 52-year-old male with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction due to a spontaneous large left main thrombosis, without any angiographic evidence for coronary artery disease. After multiple unsuccessful attempts of thrombaspiration the large clot was mechanically retrieved by a flow restoration device that was primarily made for intracranial interventions. Intravascular ultrasound revealed marginal lumen narrowing after the intervention, but the final coronary angiogram showed a patent left main and there was no relevant stenosis remaining.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to elucidate the meaning of the experience of younger people (< 55 years) during their first year following a myocardial infarction. We analyzed 17 interviews using a phenomenological-hermeneutic method. The core theme and central phenomenon was the everyday fight to redress the balance in life, which encompassed an existential, physical, and emotional battle to regain a foothold in daily life. The aftermath of a life-threatening event involved a process of transition while at the same time creating a new meaning in life. Lack of energy and its impact on the complex interplay of midlife combined with unreasonable demands from employers and health care professionals seemed to color the experience of the informants. The knowledge gained in this study can constitute a valuable contribution to overall quality assurance in nursing care and the development of nursing interventions for the cardiac rehabilitation of younger patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was performed to determine the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) as well as its association with mid-term prognosis in patients with stable premature coronary artery disease (CAD) in a Chinese population. METHODS Five hundred and twelve patients from Jiangsu Province, China with stable, premature CAD were enrolled using an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) to determine the presence of CKD. The patients were then monitored over a two-year follow up during which major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) were recorded and analyzed. RESULTS One hundred and eighty-three patients (35.74%) were determined to have CKD. Having CKD was associated with a higher ratio of type 2 diabetes mellitus, multi-vessel disease, higher levels of fasting blood sugar and lower levels of left ventricular ejection fraction (all P<0.05). Patients with CKD had significantly higher incidences of composite MACEs than the non-CKD group at the end of the two- (45.35% vs 30.72%, P=0.001) but not one-year follow up (30.64% vs 25.32%, P=0.209). Furthermore, as eGFR decreased, more MACEs occurred (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis confirmed that both CKD (P<0.001) and multi-vessel disease (P<0.001) are independent risk factors for MACEs. CONCLUSION Chinese patients diagnosed with stable, premature CAD and CKD have more risk factors and worse two-year outcomes than those with only CAD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the prevalence, risk factors, presenting features, and in-hospital outcomes of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients ≤40 years of age from Oman. METHODS Data were analyzed from 1579 consecutive ACS patients from Oman during May, 2006 to June, 2007, as part of Gulf RACE (Registry of Acute Coronary Events). ACS patients ≤40 years of age were compared with patients >40 years of age. RESULTS A total of 121 (7.6%) patients were ≤40 years of age with mean age of 36 ± 4 vs. 61 ± 11 years in young and old adults, respectively (P<0.001). More men were seen in the younger age group (81 vs. 60%; P<0.001). Among all the coronary risk factors, young patients had more history of smoking (47 vs. 15%; P<0.001), obesity (72 vs. 58%; P = 0.009), and family history of coronary artery disease (CAD) (16 vs. 7%; P = 0.001). Both groups received aspirin, statins, thrombolytic therapy, and anticoagulants equally; however, younger patients received clopidogrel, glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors, β-blockers, and in-hospital coronary angiogram more. Younger patients experienced less heart failure (6 vs. 27%; P<0.001) and in-hospital mortality, especially among STEMI patients (0 vs. 10%; P = 0.037). CONCLUSIONS Young ACS patients from Oman have different risk profile. They were treated more aggressively and their outcome was better, which is similar to other populations. However, smoking, along with obesity and family history of CAD were strong risk factors in the young Omani ACS patients. There is a need for prevention programmes to control smoking and obesity epidemic by targeting young adults in the population.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Occasionally, coronary arteries without significant stenosis are observed during invasive treatment of acute non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). The aim was to investigate predictive factors and prognosis in these patients. METHODS The study involved 504 patients admitted for NSTEMI who underwent cardiac catheterization. The primary end-point was the observation of coronary arteries without significant stenosis, and the secondary end-point was death or myocardial infarction within a median of 3 years. In evaluating the secondary end-point, a control group of 160 patients with a normal troponin level and no significant coronary artery stenosis who were admitted for chest pain during the same period was included. RESULTS Overall, 64 patients (13%) had coronary arteries without significant lesions. The predictors were: female sex (odds ratio [OR]=6.6; P=.0001), age <55 years (OR=3.0; P=.001), and the absence of diabetes (OR=2.4, P=.02), previous antiplatelet treatment (OR=3.9, P=.007) or ST-segment depression (OR=2.4, P=.008). The composite variable of female sex plus at least two additional predictive factors had a specificity of 85% and a sensitivity of 53% for coronary angiography showing no significant stenosis. The absence of coronary artery stenosis decreased the probability of death or myocardial infarction during follow-up (hazard ratio=0.3, 95% confidence interval, 0.2-0.9; P=.03). Among all patients without significant stenosis (n=224), there was no difference in the event rate between those with elevated and normal troponin levels. CONCLUSIONS In NSTEMI, female sex, age <55 years and the absence of diabetes, previous antiplatelet treatment or ST-segment depression were all associated with coronary angiography showing no significant stenosis. The long-term prognosis in these patients was good.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Premature coronary artery disease (CAD) is a special entity with a strong link to familial hypercholesterolemia, family history of premature CAD, or multiple coexistent atherosclerotic risk factors. Drug-eluting stenting (DES), including paclitaxel-eluting stenting (PES) and sirolimus-eluting stenting (SES), has been proven to have a lower restenotic rate. However, to date, few studies have investigated the clinical and angiographic results of DES in premature CAD patients. METHODS Between February 2004 and October 2005, premature CAD patients, defined as those younger than 50 years of age, who were treated with DES in our medical center were all retrospectively enrolled. Their baseline clinical characteristics, clinical outcome and angiographic follow-up results were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 26 patients (M/F: 23/3) were enrolled, with a mean age of 44+/-6 years (range, 24-50 years). Conventional atherosclerotic risk factors were prevalent in this study group, including diabetes mellitus (35%), hypertension (35%), hyperlipidemia (54%) and smoking (73%). Moreover, there was 1 homozygous and 1 heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia case in our study group. In terms of angiographic results, there were 40 target lesions in 34 target vessels. Forty DES (39 PES, 1 SES) were implanted with a median stent diameter of 3 mm and median length of 24 mm. The clinical follow-up was counted up to May 2006, with a mean follow-up duration of 540+/-168 days; 11 (42%) patients had a second angiogram during the follow-up period (200+/-98 days after DES). None of the patients had target lesion revascularization (TLR). In addition, there was no difference in TLR or stent thrombosis between patients with or without acute coronary syndrome. CONCLUSION Based on our single-center experience, DES had good short-term follow-up results for a premature CAD group with diverse and multiple atherosclerotic risk factors.

Abstract
This study examines the lived experience of myocardial infarction (MI) in younger men. Seven men, aged between 32 and 58, all of whom had suffered MI within the previous 12 months, were interviewed. Thematic analysis of the interview transcripts revealed four main themes. The themes were “disillusionment with life,” “tension and stress,” “keeping up appearances,” and “invincibility.” Collectively the four themes reflected the complexities, subtleties, and consensus of the experiences of these younger men who have survived MI. This study reveals that the individuals within the authors' sample appear to allude to the ideal or hegemonic form of masculine identity. Utilization of a qualitative approach with this younger male sample has enabled the authors to elicit the defining features of their experience as identified by themselves. Implications for these findings are discussed.

Abstract
Although myocardial infarction (MI) mainly occurs in patients older than 45, young men or women can suffer MI. Fortunately, its incidence is not common in patients younger than 45 years. However, the disease carries a significant morbidity, psychological effects, and financial constraints for the person and the family when it occurs at a young age. The causes of MI among patients aged less than 45 can be divided into four groups: (1) atheromatous coronary artery disease; (2) non-atheromatous coronary artery disease; (2) hyper-coagulable states; (4) MI related to substance misuse. There is a considerable overlap between all the groups. This article reviews the literature and highlights the practical issues involved in the management of young adults with MI.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) that becomes manifest in young adults can have devastating consequences. Additionally, the study of young patients with CAD may provide insight into the genetic basis of coronary disease. Over the past few years, our understanding of risk factors in this population has been expanded to include social, environmental, and emotional factors. The identification of genetic markers for disease is just beginning. Also, it has recently been shown that CAD in young adults has a poor long-term prognosis, meaning that clinicians caring for these patients must be aggressive in risk factor control.
