Efficacy of single high-dose statin prior to percutaneous coronary intervention in acute coronary syndrome: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Egypt Heart J 2024; 76:49. [PMID: 38630377 PMCID: PMC11024076 DOI: 10.1186/s43044-024-00481-7] [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: 01/17/2024] [Accepted: 04/09/2024] [Indexed: 04/20/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The impacts of single high-dose statin preloading in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) have not been fully examined. This study aims to evaluate post-procedure impacts of single high-dose statin pretreatment with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). METHODS The meta-analysis reviewed Cochrane, PubMed, and Medline databases for studies comparing single high-dose atorvastatin or rosuvastatin to placebo in ACS patients undergoing PCI. The primary endpoints included major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), myocardial infarction (MI), all-cause mortality, and target vessel revascularization (TVR) at three months. Secondary endpoints examined were the TIMI flow grade 3 and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). RESULTS Comprehensive analysis was conducted on fifteen RCTs, encompassing a total of 6,207 patients (3090 vs 3117 patients). The pooled results demonstrated that a single high-dose of statin administered prior to PCI led to a significant decrease in the incidence of MACE at three months post-PCI compared to the control group (OR 0.50, 95%CI 0.35-0.71, p = 0.0001). The occurrence of MI (OR 0.57, 95%CI 0.42-0.77, p = 0.0002), all-cause mortality (OR 0.56, 95%CI 0.39-0.81, p = 0.0002), and TVR (OR 0.56, 95%CI 0.35-0.92, p = 0.02) was significantly lower in the statin single high-dose group compared to the control group. No significant effects on TIMI flow grade 3 (OR 1.20, 95%CI 0.94-1.53, p = 0.14) or left ventricular ejection fraction (OR 2.19, 95%CI - 0.97 to 5.34, p = 0.17) were observed. Subgroup analysis demonstrated reduced incidence of MACE with a single dose of 80 mg atorvastatin (OR 0.66, 95%CI 0.54-0.81, p < 0.0001) and 40 mg rosuvastatin (OR 0.19, 95%CI 0.07-0.54, p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS Single high-dose statin before PCI in patients with ACS significantly reduces MACE, MI, all-cause mortality, and TVR three months post-PCI.

Health position paper and redox perspectives on reactive oxygen species as signals and targets of cardioprotection. Redox Biol 2023; 67:102894. [PMID: 37839355 PMCID: PMC10590874 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2023.102894] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 24.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2023] [Revised: 09/04/2023] [Accepted: 09/15/2023] [Indexed: 10/17/2023] Open
Abstract
The present review summarizes the beneficial and detrimental roles of reactive oxygen species in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury and cardioprotection. In the first part, the continued need for cardioprotection beyond that by rapid reperfusion of acute myocardial infarction is emphasized. Then, pathomechanisms of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion to the myocardium and the coronary circulation and the different modes of cell death in myocardial infarction are characterized. Different mechanical and pharmacological interventions to protect the ischemic/reperfused myocardium in elective percutaneous coronary interventions and coronary artery bypass grafting, in acute myocardial infarction and in cardiotoxicity from cancer therapy are detailed. The second part keeps the focus on ROS providing a comprehensive overview of molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in ischemia/reperfusion injury. Starting from mitochondria as the main sources and targets of ROS in ischemic/reperfused myocardium, a complex network of cellular and extracellular processes is discussed, including relationships with Ca2+ homeostasis, thiol group redox balance, hydrogen sulfide modulation, cross-talk with NAPDH oxidases, exosomes, cytokines and growth factors. While mechanistic insights are needed to improve our current therapeutic approaches, advancements in knowledge of ROS-mediated processes indicate that detrimental facets of oxidative stress are opposed by ROS requirement for physiological and protective reactions. This inevitable contrast is likely to underlie unsuccessful clinical trials and limits the development of novel cardioprotective interventions simply based upon ROS removal.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)-related myocardial infarction (type 4a MI) and major periprocedural myocardial injury have been demonstrated leading to poor prognosis of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) undergoing elective PCI and still remain high occurrence even after the therapy of dual antiplatelet agents and statins. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitor alirocumab has been shown to be effectively in reducing the risk of acute MI (AMI). However, the effect of alirocumab on preventing PCI-related MI or major periprocedural myocardial injury in patients with CHD undergoing elective PCI remains uncertain. METHODS AND ANALYSIS Alirocumab effect on Preventing Periprocedural ischaemic Events in coronary heart diseAse patients undergoing coronary StEnting trial is a multicentre, open-label, randomised controlled trial aiming to determine whether alirocumab could reduce the incidence of type 4a MI or major periprocedural myocardial injury in patients with CHD undergoing elective PCI. In total, 422 non-AMI CHD patients planned to undergo elective PCI will be randomly assigned to receive standard pharmacotherapy of CHD (control group) or additional use of subcutaneous alirocumab 75 mg 1 day before procedure (alirocumab group). The primary outcome is type 4a MI or major periprocedural myocardial injury defined as high-sensitivity cardiac troponin elevating above 5×99 th percentile upper reference limit in 48 hours after PCI. Patients will continue receiving standard pharmacotherapy or additional biweekly subcutaneous alirocumab 75 mg for 3 months according to the initial randomisation group. We will follow up for 3 months and record all the major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). Incidence of PCI-related MI or major periprocedural myocardial injury, and MACE in 3 months after PCI will be compared between control group and alirocumab group. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Ethics approval has been obtained from the Medical Ethics Committee of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University with approval number: (2022)02-140-01. The results of this study will be reported through peer-reviewed journals and conference presentations. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ChiCTR2200063191.

Meta-Analysis on the Efficacy of High-Dose Statin Loading Before Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Reducing No-Reflow Phenomenon in Acute Coronary Syndrome. Am J Cardiol 2023; 195:9-16. [PMID: 36989606 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjcard.2023.02.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2022] [Revised: 02/15/2023] [Accepted: 02/27/2023] [Indexed: 03/31/2023]
Abstract
Currently, guidelines recommend the uptake of high-dose statins before and after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute coronary syndrome. However, the association of high-dose statins with the incidence of the no-reflow phenomenon remains unclear. This study aimed to review the evidence of preprocedural high-dose statin therapy to reduce no-reflow incidence after PCI. PubMed, Embase, and Google Scholar were searched from inception until May 2022 for studies comparing high-dose statins with low-dose or no statin therapy before PCI. Studies reporting the no-reflow phenomenon were shortlisted. The National Institutes of Health tool for randomized and cohort studies was used to assess the quality of included studies. A random-effects model was used to derive odds ratios (ORs) and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs). A total of 11 studies were included, with a population of 4,294 patients. The use of high-dose statins before PCI significantly reduced postprocedural no-reflow (OR 0.51, 95% CI 0.35 to 0.74, p = 0.0005, I2 = 32%). A total of 7 studies included patients who underwent PCI without previous use of statins. A significant decrease in overall no-reflow events was observed with high-intensity statin treatment versus low-intensity statin/placebo (OR 0.55, 95% CI 0.34 to 0.88, p = 0.01, I2 = 25%) among patients who were statin naive. Acute high-dose statin therapy before PCI significantly reduces the hazard of post-PCI no-reflow events in patients with acute coronary syndrome. Our results encourage the routine use of statins before PCI.

Abstract
One of the most frequent complications following coronary revascularization is cardiac myonecrosis characterized by an elevation of cardiac biomarkers, particularly with the implementation of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin. In the last decades, various definitions of periprocedural myocardial injury and infarction have been proposed, based on different cardiac biomarkers, various thresholds, and the need for additional ischemic features. In this review, we aim at providing insights on the mechanisms involved in periprocedural myocardial injury and infarction following percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting, the strengths and limitations of the available definitions and their clinical implications. We also provide an updated description of preventive strategies that have been evaluated in randomized controlled trials to avoid these complications as well as patient-level and lesion-level risk factors to better anticipate and rebalance the indication for coronary revascularization and plan adequate post-procedure monitoring.

Abstract
To explore the mechanism by which rosuvastatin prevents coronary microembolism (CME)-induced cardiac injury and cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Animal and cell models of CME were established and treated with different doses of rosuvastatin. Echocardiography and histological staining were applied to assess left ventricular function and cardiac injury. Masson trichrome staining was used to evaluate fibrin deposition in the myocardium. The activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in serum and cell culture supernatant was detected. TUNEL staining and flow cytometry were used to evaluate apoptosis in myocardium and cardiomyocytes, respectively. The activity of ROS was revealed by DHE staining. The expression levels of Nox2, cleaved caspase-3, cytochrome C, p53, Bax and Bcl-2 were also detected. Rosuvastatin pretreatment improved the left ventricular function of CME mice and reduced inflammatory cell infiltration and fibrin deposition in the myocardium. Rosuvastatin reduced the production of ROS by inhibiting the expression of Nox2. Rosuvastatin also downregulated pro-apoptotic proteins cleaved caspase-3, cytochrome C, p53 and Bax, and upregulated anti-apoptotic Bcl-2. Rosuvastatin mitigates CME-induced cardiac injury by inhibiting Nox2-induced ROS overproduction and alleviating p53/Bax/Bcl-2-dependent cardiomyocyte apoptosis.

High-Intensity Statin vs. Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Target for Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Insights From a Territory-Wide Cohort Study in Hong Kong. Front Cardiovasc Med 2021; 8:760926. [PMID: 34778412 PMCID: PMC8581611 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.760926] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2021] [Accepted: 09/27/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Different guidelines recommend different approaches to lipid management in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. We aim to determine the best strategy for lipid management in Asian patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Method: This was a retrospective cohort study conducted in patients who underwent first-ever PCI from 14 hospitals in Hong Kong. All participants either achieved low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) target of <55 mg/dl with ≥50% reduction from baseline (group 1), or received high-intensity statin (group 2), or both (group 3) within 1 yr after PCI. The primary endpoint was a composite outcome of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke, and any unplanned coronary revascularization between 1 and 5 yr after PCI. Results: A total of 8,650 patients were analyzed with a median follow-up period of 4.2 yr. After the adjustment of baseline characteristics, complexity of PCI and medications prescribed and the risks of the primary outcome were significantly lower in group 2 (hazard ratio [HR], 0.82; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.74–0.93, P = 0.003) and group 3 (HR, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.62–0.90; P = 0.002). The primary outcome occurred at similar rates between group 2 and group 3. Conclusions: Use of high intensity statin, with or without the attainment of guidelines recommended LDL-C target, was associated with a lower adjusted risk of MACE at 5 yr, compared with patients who attained LDL-C target without high intensity statin.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Coronary artery disease is still a major cause of death in developed countries. Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) lowering with statin therapy is a key strategy in major acute coronary events' prevention. The aim of the study was to establish if there is a cardioprotective effect of pre-operative LDL lowering therapy on perioperative myocaridal injury in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Moreover, the impact of pre-operative LDL level on long term outcome was analysed. Materials and Methods: The retrospective single center analysis included 662 consecutive patients (431 (65%) males and 231 (35%) female, mean age of 65 ± 8) referred for cardiac surgery due to stable chronic coronary syndrome between 2012-2018. The follow up was 9 years. Results: A statistically significant difference was found in postoperative serum Troponin-I for LDL thresholds of 1.8 mmol/L (p = 0.009), 2.6 mmol/L (p = 0.03) and 3.0 mmol/L (p = 0.001). The results indicate that cardioprotective role of LDL is achieved within LDL concentration rate below 1.8 mmol/L (<70 mg/dL). Five patients died perioperatively, whereas 1-year and 9-year overall mortality rates were 4% (n = 28) and 18.6% (n = 123), respectively. Comparing the survival group with diseased, Mann-Whitney U test showed a statistically significant difference in HDL-C (p = 0.007), Troponin (p = 0.009), Castelli index (p = 0.001) and atherogenic index (p = 0.004). Preoperative levels of total cholesterol, LDL-C and HDL-C did not significantly differ between survivors and diseased. The 9-year mortality risk did not differ significantly between subgroups divided according to LDL-C thresholds of 1.4 mmol/L (55 mg/dL), 1.8 mmol/L (70 mg/dL), 2.6 mmol/L (100 mg/dL) and 3.0 mmol/L (116 mg/dL). Conclusions: Preoperative low level of LDL-C cholesterol (below 1.83 mmol/L, 70 mg/dL) has a cardioprotective effect on perioperative myocardial injury in off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.

Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to summarize current evidence regarding the impact of a high-dose statin loading before percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on short-term outcomes in patients presenting with the acute coronary syndrome (ACS). METHODS This meta-analysis was based on a search of the MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Ovid Journals, and SCOPUS for randomized controlled trials that compared high-dose atorvastatin or rosuvastatin with no or low-dose statin administered before planned PCI in statin-naive patients with ACS. The primary endpoints were major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), myocardial infarction (MI), and all-cause mortality at 30 days. Prespecified subanalyses were performed with respect to statin and ACS type. RESULTS A total of eleven trials enrolling 6291 patients were included, of which 75.4% received PCI. High-dose statin loading was associated with an overall 43% relative risk (RR) reduction in MACCE at 30 days (RR 0.57, 95% CI 0.41-0.77) in whole ACS population. This effect was primarily driven by the 39% reduction in the occurrence of MI (RR 0.61, 95% CI 0.46-0.80). No significant effect on all-cause mortality reduction was observed (RR 0.92, 95% CI 0.67-1.26). In the setting of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), atorvastatin loading was associated with a 33% reduction in MACCE (RR 0.67, 95% CI 0.48-0.94), while in non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction ACS (NSTE-ACS), rosuvastatin loading was associated with 52% reduction in MACCE at 30 days (RR 0.48, 95% CI 0.34-0.66). The level of evidence as qualified with GRADE was low to high, depending on the outcome. CONCLUSION A high-dose loading of statins before PCI in patients with ACS reduces MACCE and reduces the risk of MI with no impact on mortality at 30 days. Atorvastatin reduces MACCE in STEMI while rosuvastatin reduces MACCE in NSTE-ACS at 30 days.

Abstract
A substantial number of chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) experience periprocedural myocardial injury or infarction. Accurate diagnosis of these PCI-related complications is required to guide further management given that their occurrence may be associated with increased risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACE). Due to lack of scientific data, the cut-off thresholds of post-PCI cardiac troponin (cTn) elevation used for defining periprocedural myocardial injury and infarction, have been selected based on expert consensus opinions, and their prognostic relevance remains unclear. In this Consensus Document from the ESC Working Group on Cellular Biology of the Heart and European Association of Percutaneous Cardiovascular Interventions (EAPCI), we recommend, whenever possible, the measurement of baseline (pre-PCI) cTn and post-PCI cTn values in all CCS patients undergoing PCI. We confirm the prognostic relevance of the post-PCI cTn elevation >5× 99th percentile URL threshold used to define type 4a myocardial infarction (MI). In the absence of periprocedural angiographic flow-limiting complications or electrocardiogram (ECG) and imaging evidence of new myocardial ischaemia, we propose the same post-PCI cTn cut-off threshold (>5× 99th percentile URL) be used to define prognostically relevant ‘major’ periprocedural myocardial injury. As both type 4a MI and major periprocedural myocardial injury are strong independent predictors of all-cause mortality at 1 year post-PCI, they may be used as quality metrics and surrogate endpoints for clinical trials. Further research is needed to evaluate treatment strategies for reducing the risk of major periprocedural myocardial injury, type 4a MI, and MACE in CCS patients undergoing PCI.

Abstract
We systematically searched the literature to assess the efficacy of trimetazidine in reducing periprocedural myocardial injury and improving postoperative left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). An electronic search was conducted based on the PubMed, Ovid, Scopus, Springer, CENTRAL, and Google Scholar databases; 14 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included. Our meta-analysis showed a significant reduction in cardiac troponin I (cTnI) levels with trimetazidine compared with controls (P < .00001) but not in serum creatine kinase-myocardial band levels (P = .49). There were significantly reduced odds of ischemic ST-T segment changes with trimetazidine (P = .0.03) but lack of significant difference in the incidence of anginal attacks between the 2 groups (P = .10). Results also suggest significantly higher LVEF with trimetazidine compared with controls (P < .00001). Meta-regression analysis indicated no influence of duration of trimetazidine therapy on cTnI levels. The administration of preprocedure trimetazidine may have a role in reducing periprocedural myocardial injury in patients with CAD undergoing PCI. Evidence also suggests that postoperative trimetazidine may improve LVEF in the short term. Lack of high-quality trials and the heterogeneity of studies limit the ability of our analysis to draw strong conclusions. Further well-designed RCTs are required to supplement current evidence.

Abstract
Background For coronary artery disease, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the preferred treatment. Reperfusion injury is a common and serious complication of PCI. Studies showed that early statin therapy has a favorable prognostic impact for patients undergoing PCI. However, the effects of statins on improving post-PCI myocardial perfusion are still unclear. In this study we evaluated the potential effect of high-dose statin pretreatment on postprocedure myocardial perfusion and MACE rate in patients receiving PCI. Material/Methods We searched randomized controlled trials that evaluated the effect of high-dose statin pretreatment on post-PCI TIMI flow grade and MACE in patients undergoing PCI from the databases of PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library. All data were pooled for analysis and were stratified by type of statin, clinical presentation, and current statin therapy status in subgroup. Results Fifteen RCTs with 4240 individuals were selected. The pooled analysis showed that high-dose statin pretreatment before PCI significantly improved the final TIMI flow grade compared with the control group (OR=0.61, 95% CI: 0.46 to 0.80, p=0.0005), and showed reduced incidence of MACE (OR=0.53, 95%CI: 0.39 to 0.71, p<0.0001). In subgroup analysis, the beneficial effect of high-dose statin was significant in statin-naive treatment patients, ACS patients, and patients on atorvastatin therapy, but no difference occurred in rosuvastatin, previous statin therapy, and stable angina patients. Conclusions High-dose statin pretreatment has an important effect on postprocedure myocardial perfusion by improving the TIMI flow in patients undergoing PCI, and high-dose statin preloading also reduces the incidence of MACE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Trimetazidine (TMZ) is a metabolic modulator that shifts substrate utilization from fatty acid to carbohydrates, thereby, increasing myocardial glucose oxidation and improving myocardial ischemia. We evaluated whether TMZ is effective in reducing myocardial injury after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS Patients with stable angina undergoing elective PCI were divided into two groups, one who received oral TMZ (35 mg BD) started 7 days before PCI (n = 48) and second who did not receive any TMZ (in addition to the standard therapy (n = 52)). Troponin-I (cTnI) and creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) were measured before, 8, and 24 h after PCI. The primary end point was a difference in post-PCI cTnI and CK-MB levels (vs baseline). Frequency of cTnI release in the two groups, total amount of cTnI release, and difference in TIMI flow grade before and after the procedure were also assessed. RESULTS Baseline demographics in the groups were comparable. Despite similar baseline levels, post-procedural cTnI was lower at 8 h (0.13 vs 0.56 ng/ml, p = 0.03) and 24 h (0.2 vs 1.13 ng/ml, p = 0.004) in the TMZ group. Decline or no change in cTnI was significantly more common in the TMZ group (26% vs 2%, p < 0.01). Total cTnI released after PCI, as assessed by area under curve was significantly lower in the TMZ group (15.84 vs 3.32 ng h/ml, p = 0.005). Although CK-MB levels were also lower in the TMZ group, the difference was not statistically significant. Incidence of post-PCI TIMI 1 or 2 flow was significantly lesser in the TMZ group. CONCLUSIONS Oral TMZ started 7 days before PCI was effective in limiting PCI-induced myocardial injury with lower cTnI levels and higher prevalence of TIMI-3 flow.

Abstract
The immune system responds to acute tissue damage after myocardial infarction (MI) and orchestrates healing and recovery of the heart. However, excessive inflammation may lead to additional tissue damage and fibrosis and exacerbate subsequent functional impairment, leading to heart failure. The appreciation of the immune system as a crucial factor after MI has led to a surge of clinical trials investigating the potential benefits of immunomodulatory agents previously used in hyper-inflammatory conditions, such as autoimmune disease. While the major goal of routine post-MI pharmacotherapy is to support heart function by ensuring appropriate blood pressure and cardiac output to meet the demands of the body, several drug classes also affect a range of immunological pathways and modulate the post-MI immune response, which is crucial to take into account when designing future immunomodulatory trials. This review outlines how routine post-MI pharmacotherapy affects the immune response and may thus influence post-MI outcomes and development towards heart failure. Current key drug classes are discussed, including platelet inhibitors, statins, β-blockers, and renin⁻angiotensin⁻aldosterone inhibitors.

Abstract
Background Early reperfusion of the occluded coronary artery during acute myocardial infarction is considered crucial for reduction of infarcted mass and recovery of ventricular function. Effective microcirculation and the balance between protective and harmful lymphocytes may have roles in reperfusion injury and may affect final ventricular remodeling. Methods/design BATTLE-AMI is an open-label, randomized trial comparing the effects of four therapeutic strategies (rosuvastatin/ticagrelor, rosuvastatin/clopidogrel, simvastatin plus ezetimibe/ticagrelor, or simvastatin plus ezetimibe/clopidogrel) on infarcted mass and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (blinded endpoints) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction submitted to fibrinolytic therapy before coronary angiogram (pharmacoinvasive strategy). All patients (n = 300, 75 per arm) will be followed up for six months. The effects of treatment on subsets of B and T lymphocytes will be determined by flow-cytometry/ELISPOT and will be correlated with the infarcted mass, LVEF, and microcirculation perfusion obtained by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. The primary hypothesis is that the combined rosuvastatin/ticagrelor therapy will be superior to other therapies (particularly for the comparison with simvastatin plus ezetimibe/clopidogrel) for the achievement of better LVEF at 30 days (primary endpoint) and smaller infarcted mass (secondary endpoint) at 30 days and six months. The trial will also evaluate the improvement in the immune/inflammatory responses mediated by B and T lymphocytes. Omics field (metabolomics and proteomics) will help to understand these responses by molecular events. Discussion BATTLE-AMI is aimed to (1) evaluate the role of subsets of lymphocytes on microcirculation improvement and (2) show how the choice of statin/antiplatelet therapy may affect cardiac remodeling after acute myocardial infarction with ST elevation.

Effects of exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation in patients after percutaneous coronary intervention: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Sci Rep 2017; 7:44789. [PMID: 28303967 PMCID: PMC5356037 DOI: 10.1038/srep44789] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2016] [Accepted: 02/14/2017] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
In this study, we assessed the effect of rehabilitation exercise after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). We performed a meta-analysis to determine the effects of exercise in patients after PCI. The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), PubMed, the Embase database, China National Knowledge Internet (CNKI), China Biology Medicine (CBM), and the Wanfang Database were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The key words used for the searches were PCI, exercise, walking, jogging, Tai Chi, and yoga. Six studies with 682 patients met our inclusion criteria; we chose the primary endpoint events of cardiac death, recurrence of myocardial infarction (MI), repeated PCI, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), and restenosis, and the secondary endpoint measures included recurrent angina, treadmill exercise (total exercise time, ST-segment decline, angina, and maximum exercise tolerance). The results showed that exercise was not clearly associated with reductions in cardiac death, recurrence of MI, repeated PCI, CABG, or restenosis. However, the exercise group exhibited greater improvements in recurrent angina, total exercise time, ST-segment decline, angina, and maximum exercise tolerance than did the control group. Future studies need to expand the sample size and improve the quality of reporting of RCTs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Statins have proven cardioprotective effects, but higher doses are accompanied by various concerns and may not lead to superior clinical outcomes in Chinese/Asian populations. OBJECTIVE We designed a trial to test the efficacy of high-intensity statin therapy for the reduction of periprocedural myocardial infarction (MI) and 1-year major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs, including cardiovascular death, spontaneous MI, unplanned revascularization) in an Asian population. METHODS A total of 798 Chinese patients with stable angina or acute coronary syndrome (ACS) were randomized to high-intensity atorvastatin (80 mg/d before percutaneous coronary intervention [PCI] and 40 mg/d thereafter for 1 year, n = 400) or moderate-intensity atorvastatin (20 mg/d for 1 year, n = 398). The primary end point was 1-year incidence of MACEs. RESULT In patients with stable angina, 1-year MACE rates were not significantly different between moderate- and high-intensity groups (7.6% vs 5.7%, P = 0.53). In contrast, in patients with ACS, the 1-year MACE rate was significantly higher in the moderate- than in the high-intensity atorvastatin group (16.8% vs 10.1%, P = 0.021; adjusted hazard ratio = 1.71, 95% CI = 1.08 to 2.77, P = 0.021). CONCLUSIONS Whereas stable angina patients derive similar benefit from moderate- and high-intensity atorvastatin therapy over the duration of 1 year after PCI, high-intensity statin therapy is superior in ACS patients.
