Abstract
BACKGROUND Left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) is an important complication of acute myocardial infarction. This study aimed to investigate the potential predictive value of the monocyte count to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR) and a composite risk score in determining the formation of LVA in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention. METHODS We recruited 1005 consecutive patients with STEMI. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted identify the independent risk factors for LVA formation. Predictive power of MHR and composite risk score for LVA formation were assessed using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. RESULTS The MHR was significantly higher among patients with LVA compared to those without LVA [6.6 (3.8-10.8) vs. 4.6 (3.3-6.3), P < 0.001]. Univariable logistic regression analysis revealed that MHR (OR = 3.866, 95% CI = 2.677-5.582, P < 0.001) was associated with the risk of LVA formation. The predictive value of MHR remained significant even after multivariate logistic regression analysis [odds ratio (OR) = 4.801, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 2.672-8.629, P < 0.001]. The discriminant power of MHR for LVA is 0.712, which is superior to both monocyte ( C statistic = 0.553) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( C statistic = 0.654). The composite risk score including MHR, gender, LVEF, hemoglobin, lymphocyte and left anterior descending artery as the culprit vessel could significantly increase the predictive ability ( C statistic = 0.920). CONCLUSION A higher MHR could effectively identify individuals at high risk of LVA formation, especially when combined with gender, LVEF, hemoglobin, lymphocyte and left anterior descending artery as the culprit vessel.

Zhang K, Yang L, Wu X, Zheng X, Zhao Y. Urea nitrogen-to-albumin ratio predicts ventricular aneurysm formation in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. ESC Heart Fail 2024; 11:974-985. [PMID: 38234089 DOI: 10.1002/ehf2.14620] [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: 08/29/2023] [Revised: 11/08/2023] [Accepted: 11/16/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2024] Open
Abstract
AIMS Left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) is an important complication of acute myocardial infarction. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible predictive value of blood urea nitrogen-to-albumin ratio (BAR) for the LVA formation in acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 1123 consecutive patients with STEMI were prospectively enrolled. The clinical and laboratory data were compared between LVA group and non-LVA group. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the independent risk factors of LVA formation. Predictive power of BAR and composite variable for LVA formation were assessed using receiver operating characteristic curve. LVA was detected in 162 patients (14.4%). The BAR was significantly higher in patients with LVA [0.16 (0.13-0.19) vs. 0.13 (0.10-0.17), P < 0.001]. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) [odds ratio (OR) = 0.865, P < 0.001], culprit vessel-left anterior descending artery (LAD) (OR = 4.705, P < 0.001), and BAR (OR = 2.208, P = 0.018) were all independent predictors for LVA formation. The predictive value of BAR remained significant even after cross-validation by splitting population into training set (OR = 1.957, P = 0.034) and validation set (OR = 1.982, P = 0.039). The maximal length and width of LVA were significantly increased in patients with BAR ≥ 0.15 when compared with BAR < 0.15 (3.37 ± 1.09 vs. 2.92 ± 0.93, P = 0.01, for maximal length, and 2.20 ± 0.55 vs. 1.85 ± 0.63, P = 0.001, for maximal width). The discriminant power of BAR for LVA is 0.723, which is superior to both blood urea nitrogen (C statistic = 0.586, P < 0.001) and albumin (C statistic = 0.64, P < 0.001). The combination of BAR, LVEF, and culprit vessel-LAD could significantly increase the predictive ability (C statistic = 0.874, P < 0.001, for vs. BAR). Subgroup analysis of age, sex, hypertension, diabetes, smoking, LVEF, serum albumin, multiple-vessel disease, and Gensini score had no effect on the association between BAR and risk of LVA formation (P < 0.05 for all subgroups). CONCLUSIONS A higher BAR was an independent predictor for LVA formation in STEMI patients with primary PCI.

Abstract
PURPOSE Recent years have seen a clear link established between elevated ferritin levels and COVID-19 prognosis. However, the impact of heightened ferritin levels on the prognosis of individuals with severe ischemic heart disease remains uncertain. METHODS We utilized the MIMIC IV database to identify a cohort of ischemic heart disease patients who underwent serum ferritin testing. We conducted regression analyses, employed the overlap propensity score weighting model, and utilized the restricted cubic splines model to comprehensively investigate the associations between serum ferritin levels and clinical outcomes. RESULTS Our cohort included 1173 patients with diagnosed ischemic heart disease, categorized into high and low serum ferritin groups. After meticulous adjustment for confounding factors in a fully adjusted model, the hazard ratios (HRs) for 90-day and 1-year mortality were 1.63 (95% CI: 1.27-2.09) and 1.49 (95% CI: 1.19-1.86), respectively, in the high-ferritin group compared to the low-ferritin group. Subsequent analyses with propensity score weighting confirmed these results. Remarkably, restricted cubic spline analysis revealed an almost linear relationship between log-transformed serum ferritin levels and the risk of both 90-day and 1-year all-cause mortality. Moreover, incorporating ferritin into conventional severity of illness scores significantly improved the area under the curve for both 90-day and 1-year mortality. CONCLUSIONS This study provides compelling evidence regarding the prognostic significance of serum ferritin in predicting 90-day and one-year mortality rates among patients diagnosed with ischemic heart disease.

Abstract
Right ventricular (RV) aneurysm is a very rare ventricular lesion. An aneurysm is formed mainly as a complication of myocardial infarction (MI). As an RV aneurysm is a potentially life-threatening occurrence, its appropriate diagnosis is of great significance. However, right-sided heart diseases, especially RV aneurysms, have been neglected for years. Recent studies in the literature have elucidated the role of the right side of the heart in patients' prognosis and response to treatment. However, RV aneurysm has been scarcely investigated, and most of the attention has been given to the left ventricular aneurysm in patients with ischemic heart diseases (IHD). Herein, we investigated a total of 625 patients with IHD referred for two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography (2D TTE), among whom 18 were diagnosed with RV aneurysms through precise examination of several TTE views. The characteristics of these cases, including demographics, medical history, and results of cardiac tests (which the patients underwent previously), were recorded and presented. This study emphasized the importance of performing a meticulous 2D TTE evaluation and a thorough examination of different views by an expert echocardiographer, with special attention to the presence of an RV aneurysm in a patient suffering from IHD who presented either with acute coronary syndrome, including MI, or chronic IHD. The scarcity of information, especially in terms of complications and the most appropriate diagnostic methods, calls for further studies in this regard.

Prognostic Value of Temporary Pacemaker Insertion in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction in the Era of Percutaneous Coronary Revascularization. Rev Cardiovasc Med 2023; 24:179. [PMID: 39077538 PMCID: PMC11264123 DOI: 10.31083/j.rcm2406179] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2022] [Revised: 12/19/2022] [Accepted: 01/10/2023] [Indexed: 07/31/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated with arrhythmia are not uncommon. Insertion of temporary pacemakers (tPMs) in patients with arrythmia during acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is imperative support therapy. Arrhythmias include high-degree atrioventricular block (AVB), sinus arrest/bradycardia, and ventricular arrythmia storm. To date, no study has evaluated the prognosis of tPMs in patients with AMI complicated with arrhythmia. Especially in the era of thrombolysis or emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for coronary artery revascularization, our study was designed to investigate the value of tPMs implantation in cases of AMI complicated with various arrhythmias. Methods From January 2009 to January 2019, 35,394 patients with AMI, including 62.0% (21,935) with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and 38.0% (13,459) with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) in four hospitals, were reviewed. A total of 552 patients with AMI associated with arrythmia were included in the cohort. Among the 552 patients, there were 139 patients with tPM insertions. The incidence trend of myocardial infarction complicated with various arrhythmias in the past 10 years was analysed, and the clinical characteristics, in-hospital mortality, postdischarge mortality, composite endpoints of modality, and independent risk factors were compared in patients with and without tPM in the era of coronary artery revascularization. Results In patients with AMI-associated arrythmia, high-degree AVB was the major cause of tPM insertion (p = 0.045). In the past 10 years, the number of patients with high-degree AVB, tPM implantation, ventricular arrythmia storm, and in-hospital mortality has decreased year by year in the era of coronary artery revascularization. In the tPM group, the culprit vessel was the left main artery, and cardiogenic shock, acute renal injury and high brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels were independent risk factors for patients with AMI complicated with arrhythmia. The in-hospital mortality in the tPM group was higher than that in the non-tPM group. The patients with tPM insertion showed better postdischarge survival than patients without tPM insertion. Conclusions In the era of emergency thrombolysis or PCI, coronary revascularization can ameliorate the prognosis of patients with AMI complicated with various arrhythmias. Temporary pacemaker insertion in patients with AMI complicated with arrhythmia can reduce the postdischarge mortality of these patients.

Novel Analysis of Coronary Angiography in Predicting the Formation of Ventricular Aneurysm in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

Abstract
Background Ventricular aneurysm (VA) is a serious complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), with a very poor prognosis. Early-stage prophylactic treatment is effective in preventing the formation of VAs. However, the existing predictive models for VA formation lack the sensitivity and specificity necessary for evaluating patients with MI. This study aimed to explore the potential use of coronary angiography and establish a more precise prediction model for VA in patients with MI. Methods Patients with VA (n = 52) admitted to our medical center between June 2020 and July 2021 with previous emergency percutaneous coronary intervention for AMI were retrospectively included in this database study. Controls that matched 4:1 with the VA cases during the same period were enrolled. The baseline characteristics and coronary angiograms of the enrolled individuals were obtained from the electronic medical record system. The curve length of the distance from the main criminal lesion to its ostia (DLO) and distal (DLD) in the coronary artery were measured with ImageJ. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify the predictive factors. The model performance was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Results Binary analysis revealed maximum serum cardiac troponin I level (odds ratio [OR] = 1.046, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.027–1.066, P < 0.001), serum brain natriuretic peptide level (OR = 1.001, 95% CI = 1.000–1.002, P = 0.007), left anterior descending artery as the culprit lesion (OR = 5.091, 95% CI = 2.080–12.457, P < 0.001), and that single-vessel disease (OR = 1.809, 95% CI = 0.967–3.385, P < 0.001), stenosis in the main lesion (OR = 1.247, 95% CI = 1.173–1.327, P < 0.001), DLO (OR = 1.034, 95% CI = 1.019–1.049, P < 0.001), DLD (OR = 1.061, 95% CI = 1.043–1.079, P < 0.001), and DLD/DLD (OR = 0.033, 95% CI = 0.010–0.117, P < 0.001) were the independent variables for predicting VA formation in MI patients. Conclusion Our study first used quantified information of coronary lesions to establish a predictive model and proved that a longer DLD had the greatest potential in predicting the incidence of VA. Its related parameters including DLO and DLO/DLD ratio were also correlated with the incidence of VA. These findings may provide a new reference for the early identification of high-risk MI patients and preventing VA.

Abstract
The potential benefit of ferritin evaluation resides in its association with adverse outcomes in patients with various pathological conditions. We aimed to conduct the first systematic review evaluating the association between ferritin levels and adverse cardiovascular outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) during short- or long-term follow-up. Seven studies investigating various endpoints (mortality, major adverse cardiovascular events-MACE, the decline of the left ventricular ejection fraction-LVEF, left ventricular aneurysm development-LVA) were included. AMI patients with low or increased ferritin values tended to have higher in-hospital and 30-day mortality rates. Low and high ferritin levels and chronic kidney disease were independently associated with increased risk of LVA formation. High ferritin concentrations were linked to an accentuated LVEF decline in ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients treated by percutaneous coronary intervention. Both low and high ferritin values were also associated with the duration of hospitalization in patients with AMI during hospital stay and at more extended follow-up. Ferritin evaluation represents a simple investigation that could identify high-risk patients with AMI who might benefit from closer monitoring and specific therapeutic interventions. These data should be confirmed in large trials in the context of currently available therapies for heart failure and AMI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been the standard reperfusion strategy for patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in the contemporary era. Meanwhile, the incidence and prognosis of left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) in AMI patients remain ambiguous. The aim of the current study is to identify the predictor and long-term prognosis of LVA in patients with acute anterior myocardial infarction. METHODS We prospectively enrolled 942 consecutive patients with acute anterior myocardial infarction who were treated by primary PCI. The baseline characteristics, procedural features, and one-year clinical outcomes were compared between the patients with and without LVA. The primary endpoint of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) was defined as a composite of cardiac death, target vessel revascularization, and ischemic stroke. Multiple logistic regression was applied to predict LVA formation and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted to evaluate the accuracy of the multivariate analysis model. RESULTS The general incidence of LVA was 15.92%. At one-year clinical follow-up, patients in the LVA group had significantly higher incidence of MACCEs (15.33% vs. 6.44%, P<0.01), mainly driven by an increased incidence of cardiac death (8.00% vs. 2.78%, P<0.01), target vessel revascularization (5.33% vs. 2.27%, P=0.03), and ischemic stroke (4.00% vs. 1.39%, P=0.03). Multivariate analysis found that longer symptom-to-balloon time (S2B) [odds ratio (OR): 1.16, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.11-1.21, P<0.01], higher initial and residual SYNTAX score (iSS, OR: 1.19, 95% CI: 1.14-1.24, P<0.01; rSS, OR: 1.33, 95% CI: 1.22-1.45, P<0.01), lower left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (OR: 1.15, 95% CI: 1.11-1.18, P<0.01), and persistent ST segment elevation (OR: 1.89, 95% CI: 1.06-3.38, P=0.03) were independent predictors of LVA formation. CONCLUSIONS LVA is still common in patients with acute anterior myocardial infarction in the contemporary PCI era, and the prognosis of these patients was significantly worse during the one-year clinical follow-up. Strategies of prompt reperfusion and complete revascularization may be helpful in preventing LVA formation and improving clinical outcomes.

[PMID: 31530429 DOI: 10.1016/j.hrtlng.2019.09.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2019] [Revised: 09/05/2019] [Accepted: 09/05/2019] [Indexed: 10/26/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) is a severe complication of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and is associated with poor prognosis due to high mortality. However, predictors of LVA formation in early period are inadequately defined. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study is to determine potential predictors of LVA formation in early period (<15 days after admission) after acute STEMI. METHODS The present study was retrospectively conducted involving 1823 STEMI patients based on the AMI database of our clinic between January 2013 and April 2019. Among STEMI patients with regional wall motion abnormality (RWMA), the baseline, angiographic, procedural characteristics of patients with early-onset LVA and controls without LVA were compared. The controls were matched 2:1 with LVA cases for the admission date. Patients with prior myocardial infarction, non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, severe heart valve disease, and patients without coronary angiography were excluded. The odds ratio (OR) and confidence interval (CI) were obtained by logistic regression analysis and all statistical analysis were performed by SPSS 25.0. RESULTS Among 1823 STEMI patients who underwent coronary angiography, 103 eligible patients (median age 67 years) had LVA and were compared to 206 patients without LVA (median age 60 years). In multivariate analysis, RWMA in the left ventricular anterior wall (OR 13.17, 95%CI 2.21-78.57, p=0.005) was found to be the most striking predictor of LVA, followed by RWMA in the apex (OR 7.93, 95%CI 2.22-28.30, p=0.001). Female sex (OR 3.91, 95%CI 1.54-9.93, p=0.004), peak N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro BNP,OR 1.08, 95%CI 1.01-1.16, p=0.031), time between onset of pain and balloon time (OR 1.01, 95%CI 1.00-1.01, P=0.016), and presence of QS-waves on initial electrocardiogram (OR 3.06, 95%CI 1.49-6.27, P=0.016) were independently associated with LVA formation. CONCLUSION This study indicated that female sex, peak NT-pro BNP, the time between the onset of pain and balloon time, presence of QS-waves on initial electrocardiogram, RWMA of left ventricular anterior wall and apex were the independent predictors of early-onset LVA in patients with acute STEMI.
