Impact of increased admission lipid levels on periprocedural myocardial injury following an elective percutaneous coronary intervention

Association of serum laboratory parameters with periprocedural myocardial infarction after a primary percutaneous coronary intervention

BACKGROUND

Periprocedural myocardial infarction (PMI) is one of the mortality-related complications of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and significantly affects short- and long-term adverse outcomes and immediate cardiovascular events. Our present study aimed to evaluate the association of preprocedural serum laboratory parameters and PMI in patients who received primary PCI and attempted to provide detailed data on the predictors of PCI-related PMI.

METHODS

A total of 1184 consecutive coronary artery disease (CAD) patients who received primary and elective PCI between July 2015 and June 2017 were included and divided into control group and PMI group. The data of serum laboratory parameters were collected from the electronic database of Meizhou People's Hospital.

RESULTS

The results indicated that preprocedural fasting blood glucose were higher in PMI group compared with the control group (p < .001). Patients with prior hyperlipidemia were more likely to have experienced PCI-related PMI (p = .018) and the preprocedural level of total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), non-HDL-C, apolipoprotein B (Apo B), and LDL-C/high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were significantly enhanced in PMI group (p < .001). Multivariate regression analysis revealed that preprocedural fasting blood glucose > 6.11 mmol/L (p < .001, OR = 1.949, 95% CI: 1.444-2.630) and LDL-C levels ≥130 mg/dL (p = .005, OR = 1.941, 95% CI: 1.217-3.098) independently predicted PCI-related PMI.

CONCLUSION

Our results indicated preprocedural fasting blood glucose >6.11 mmol/L and LDL-C levels ≥130 mg/dL may be useful predictors for PCI-related PMI. The study may provide a detailed data on the predictors of PCI-related PMI.

Relationship Between Preprocedural Lipid Levels and Periprocedural Myocardial Injury in Patients Undergoing Elective Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

BACKGROUND

Periprocedural myocardial injury is a predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality after percutaneous coronary intervention.

METHODS

The authors examined the effects of preprocedural lipid levels (low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein, and triglycerides) in 977 patients with coronary artery disease who underwent elective percutaneous coronary intervention.

RESULTS

Elevated cardiac troponin I level (≥5× the upper limit of normal) was used to indicate periprocedural myocardial injury. Serum lipid samples were collected 12 hours preprocedurally. Cardiac troponin I was collected 1, 6, and 12 hours postprocedurally. Correlations between preprocedural lipid levels and postprocedural cardiac troponin I were studied. Low-density lipoprotein levels were less than 70 mg/dL in 70% of patients and greater than 100 mg/dL in only 7.4% of patients; 13% had triglyceride levels greater than or equal to 150 mg/dL, and 96% had high-density lipoprotein levels less than 40 mg/dL. Patients with elevated cardiac troponin I had significantly lower left ventricular ejection fraction than did those with cardiac troponin I levels less than 5× the upper limit of normal (P = .01). Double-and triple-vessel disease were more common in patients with elevated cardiac troponin I (P < .002). Multivariable logistic and linear regression analyses revealed no statistically significant associations between lipid levels and postprocedural cardiac troponin I elevation, possibly because such large proportions of included patients had low levels of low-density lipoprotein (70%) and a history of statin intake (86%).

CONCLUSION

The authors found no association between lipid profile and periprocedural myocardial injury.

Relationship Between Preoperative Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol and Periprocedural Myocardial Injury in Patients Following Elective Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Southern China

BACKGROUND Periprocedural myocardial injury (PMI) is known to be a predictor of postprocedural cardiovascular morbidity and mortality following a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, the correlation between low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and periprocedural myocardial injury in patients following elective PCI in southern China remains unclear. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the association of preoperative low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels with PMI in patients following elective PCI. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study included 1942 consecutive patients who received elective PCI. Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) was used to assess perioperative myocardial injury. The peak cTnI was measured within 24 h after PCI, and the correlation between the cTnI value and the preoperative LDL level was studied. RESULTS The data suggest that the PCI patients with preprocedural LDL-C <100 mg/dl were strongly and independently correlated with less risk of PMI. Univariate logistic regression indicated that patients with preprocedural LDL-C of 70~99 mg/dl were correlated with lower risk of postprocedural cTnI elevation above 3×ULN (odds ratio [OR]: 0.762; 95% [CI]: 0.603-0.965; P<0.024) up to 20×ULN (OR: 0.730; 95% CI: 0.576-0.924; P<0.000) compared to those with preprocedural LDL-C ≥100 mg/dl. Moreover, patients with preprocedural LDL-C of <70 mg/dl were more strongly correlated with lower risk of postprocedural cTnI elevation above 3×ULN (OR: 0.641; 95% CI: 0.436-0.936; P<0.021) up to 20×ULN (OR: 0.476; 95% CI: 0.316-0.717; P<0.000). CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrated that PCI patients with lower preprocedural LDL-C were correlated with a lower risk of PMI in southern China.

Relationship of non-cardiac biomarkers with periprocedural myocardial injury in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention

percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is one of the dominant methods for revascularization in patient with coronary artery disease (CAD), which accompanied with high incidence of periprocedural myocardial injury (PMI) evaluated by postprocedural cardiac biomarker elevation. For the convenience of risk stratification of PMI following PCI, the aim of present review provides a unique opportunity to summarize the relationship of non-cardiac biomarkers with PMI by extensively searching in the MEDLINE to identify all the relevant studies. In conclusion, we found that PCI related PMI might be correlated positively to those non-cardiac biomarkers such as low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, total cholesterol, triglyceride, the ratios of LDL-C to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), the ratios of HDL-C to apolipoprotein A-I, the ratio of eicosapentaenoic acid to arachidonic acid, lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1, C-reactive protein, high on-treatment platelet reactivity, platelet-monocyte aggregates, N-term pro-B-type natriuretic peptide, hemoglobin and albuminuria. Inversely, no relationships of PMI with those non-cardiac biomarkers such as mean platelet volume, platelet distribution width, platelet-larger cell ratio, uric acid, eosinophils count and the genetic variant of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) 677 C>T polymorphism. Moreover, there were controversial associations between PMI and those non-cardiac biomarkers such as high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, glycosylated hemoglobin, homocysteine and the polymorphism Leu33Pro of platelet glycoprotein IIbIIIa. However, almost all studies failed to provide definite mechanism of its findings, and further reaches are needed to focus on the potential mechanisms of association between non-cardiac biomarkers and PMI related to PCI.

Elective percutaneous coronary intervention leads to significant changes in serum resistin, leptin, and adiponectin levels regardless of periprocedural myocardial injury: an observational study

Objective:

Bioactive roles of adipokines in coronary atherosclerosis and acute coronary syndromes have been demonstrated previously. However, there is a lack of data regarding the relationship between serum adipokines and periprocedural myocardial injury (PMI) following elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Therefore, we aimed to investigate the association between serum adipokines and PMI related to elective PCI.

Methods:

In total, 153 consecutive patients (aged 60.6±8.2 years, 98 men) with stable angina pectoris undergoing elective PCI were enrolled in this observational cross-sectional study. Serum resistin, leptin, adiponectin, and high-sensitive Troponin T (hscTnT) levels were measured immediately before PCI and after 12-h PCI. The no-injury, PMI, and type 4a myocardial infarction (type 4a MI) groups were defined as groups consisting patients with post-procedural hscTnT concentrations <14 ng/L, between 14–70 ng/L, and >70 ng/L, respectively.

Results:

Serum hscTnT, resistin, and leptin concentrations significantly (p<0.001) increased while serum adiponectin levels decreased (p<0.001) after 12-h elective PCI. However, no correlation was found between post-procedural hscTnT concentrations and resistin, leptin, and adiponectin levels. The no-injury group consisted of 65 patients (42.4%), whereas PMI and type 4a MI were observed in 70 (45.8%) and 18 (11.8%) patients, respectively. The average pre-procedural and post-procedural resistin, leptin, and adiponectin levels did not show any significant difference in the no-injury, PMI, and type 4a MI groups.

Conclusion:

There is no correlation between serum adipokine levels and post-procedural troponin elevations reflecting PMI or type 4a MI. However, serum resistin and leptin levels increase, whereas adiponectin levels decrease significantly after elective PCI.
