Abstract
BACKGROUND We have reported that a prehospital 12-lead electrocardiography system (P-ECG) contributed to transport of suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients to appropriate institutes and in this study, we compared its usefulness between urban and rural areas, and between weekday daytime and weekday nighttime/holiday.Methods and Results: Consecutive STEMI patients who underwent successful primary percutaneous coronary intervention after using P-ECG were assigned to the P-ECG group (n=123; 29 female, 70±13 years), and comparable STEMI patients without using P-ECG were assigned to the conventional group (n=117; 33 females, mean age 70±13 years). There was no significant difference in door-to-reperfusion times between the rural and urban cases (70±32 vs. 69±29 min, P=0.73). Door-to-reperfusion times in the urban P-ECG group were shorter than those in the urban conventional group for weekday nighttime/holiday (65±21 vs. 83±32 min, P=0.0005). However, there was no significance different between groups for weekday daytime. First medical contact to reperfusion time (90±22 vs. 105±37 min, P=0.0091) in the urban P-ECG group were significantly shorter than in the urban conventional groups for weekday nighttime/holiday, but were not significantly different between the groups for weekday daytime. CONCLUSIONS P-ECG is useful even in urban areas, especially for patients who develop STEMI during weekday nighttime or while on a holiday.

Cardiovasc Interv Ther 2024:10.1007/s12928-024-01022-4. [PMID: 38880836 DOI: 10.1007/s12928-024-01022-4] [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: 06/02/2024] [Accepted: 06/07/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024]
Abstract
Standard modifiable cardiovascular risk factors (SMuRFs), such as hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and current smoking, are associated with the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases including acute myocardial infarction (MI). Thus, therapeutic approaches against SMuRFs are important as primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases. In patients with acute MI, however, the prognosis is counterintuitively poor when SMuRFs are lacking. The growing evidence has explored the prevalence, pathophysiology, and prognosis of SMuRF-less patients in acute MI and suggested the potential underlying mechanisms. This review article summarizes the clinical evidence and relevance of the lack of SMuRFs in acute MI.

Percutaneous coronary intervention for ST-elevation myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock in a super-aging society. EUROPEAN HEART JOURNAL. ACUTE CARDIOVASCULAR CARE 2023; 12:847-855. [PMID: 37724765 DOI: 10.1093/ehjacc/zuad113] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2023] [Revised: 08/07/2023] [Accepted: 09/14/2023] [Indexed: 09/21/2023]
Abstract
AIMS ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (STEMICS) is associated with substantial mortality. As life expectancy increases, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is being performed more frequently, even in elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This study sought to investigate the characteristics and impact of PCI on in-hospital mortality in patients with STEMICS. METHODS AND RESULTS The Japan AMI Registry (JAMIR) is a retrospective, nationwide, real-world database. Among 46 242 patients with AMI hospitalized in 2011-2016, 2760 patients with STEMICS (median age, 72 years) were studied. We compared 2396 (86.8%) patients who underwent PCI with 364 (13.2%) patients who did not. The percentage of mechanical circulatory support use in patients with STEMICS was 69.3% and in-hospital mortality was 34.6%. Compared with patients who did not undergo PCI, patients undergoing PCI were younger and had a higher rate of intra-aortic balloon pump use. A higher proportion was male or current smokers. In-hospital mortality was significantly lower in the PCI group than in the no-PCI group (31.3% vs. 56.0%, P < 0.001). Percutaneous coronary intervention was independently associated with lower in-hospital mortality [adjusted odds ratio (OR), 0.508; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.347-0.744]. In 789 (28.6%) patients aged ≥80 years, PCI was associated with fewer in-hospital cardiac deaths (adjusted OR, 0.524; 95% CI, 0.281-0.975), but was not associated with in-hospital mortality (adjusted OR, 0.564; 95% CI, 0.300-1.050). CONCLUSION In Japan, PCI was effective in reducing in-hospital cardiac death in elderly patients with STEMICS. Age alone should not preclude potentially beneficial invasive therapy.
