Abstract
The aim of the study is to compare the outcomes among ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) cases with early treatment vs delayed treatment. It was a prospective comparative study on 186 patients with consecutive (nonprobability) sampling. Two groups of cases were made as per their time to get admitted to the hospital (ie, within 2 hours of symptom onset = Group A; after 2 hours of symptom onset = Group B). Patients were asked for factors causing a delay in treatment after the onset of symptoms and were monitored for STEMI outcomes. The mean age of all patients was 46.62 ± 9.76 years and there were 140 (75.27%) male and 46 (24.73%) female, and male to female ratio 3:1.Factors significant for delayed treatment vs nondelayed treatment were poor social economic status (65.6% vs 20.4%), history of chronic stable angina (33.3% vs 11.8%), delayed response in the emergency room (20.4% vs 8.6%), delayed ECG acquisition (26.9% vs 8.6%), delayed ECG interpretation (25.8% vs 4.3%), pain at night 12:00-6:00 AM (21.5% vs 9.7%) and belief that the chest pain is noncardiac (26.9% vs 3.2%). Acute heart failure was significantly greater in group B (9.7%) in comparison with group A (2.2%), re-infarction was 18.3% in group B in comparison with 7.5% group A. Similarly sustained ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation and in-hospital mortality were higher in group B (12.9%, 14%, and 12.9% respectively). Due to delayed treatment patients had higher hospital stays, and complications, like acute heart failure, re-infarction, ventricular fibrillation, and in-hospital mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Robotic-assisted percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a novel technology that permits remote operation of interventional devices. However, little is known about the safety and effectiveness of introducing a robotic PCI program in a hospital already experienced in traditional coronary angioplasty. METHODS Prospective single-arm survey to assess the safety and effectiveness of robotic-assisted PCI in comparison to pre-defined performance goals. The study cohort comprised all consecutive cases treated with robotic PCI since its introduction. The safety primary endpoint was a composite of (I) overall death or (II) non-fatal adverse events related to target vessel complications (stent thrombosis, myocardial infarction, vessel perforation or cardiac tamponade, or repeat invasive treatment) during the index hospitalization. The efficacy primary endpoint was robotic-assisted procedural success, a composite of (I) successful dilatation of the target lesion and (II) successful robotic assistance, defined as absent non-planned manual conversion. RESULTS A total of 83 patients and 112 lesions were prospectively enrolled. The rate of angiographic success was 99.1%. From these, 97 lesions (86.6%) were treated with only robotic PCI or with hybrid according to the pre-interventional plan. The rates of efficacy and safety primary endpoints were 85.7% and 2.4% respectively (P<0.01 for non-inferior to the pre-defined performance threshold). CONCLUSIONS Introduction of robotic-assisted PCI in a tertiary center was associated with safe and effective results, comparable to pre-defined goals of optimal performance.

Nicorandil reversed homocysteine-induced coronary microvascular dysfunction via regulating PI3K/Akt/eNOS pathway. Biomed Pharmacother 2020; 127:110121. [PMID: 32407984 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2020.110121] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2019] [Revised: 03/18/2020] [Accepted: 03/27/2020] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Nicorandil exerts a protective effect against coronary microvascular dysfunction in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients. However, the mechanism and effect of nicorandil in hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) AMI patients remain unclear. METHODS C57/BL6 mice with mild to moderate HHcy and human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs) cotreated with HHcy (1 mmol/L) for 24 h and hypoxia for 6 h were selected as models. Small animal ultrasound detection was used to compare cardiac function. CD31 immunofluorescence staining and tomato lectin staining were used to assess the number of microcirculation changes in vivo. MTT, tube formation and western blotting assays were used to evaluate the effect of nicorandil on HCAECs and the PI3K/Akt/eNOS pathway. RESULTS The results showed that nicorandil improved cell viability and p-PI3K/PI3K, p-Akt/Akt, and p-eNOS/eNOS expression in the vitro HHcy and hypoxia models. The beneficial effects of nicorandil on HCAECs could be inhibited by the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor LY294002 and the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor L-NAME. In vivo, nicorandil improved the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS) in the post-HHcy + MI model, and the levels of CD31 and tomato lectin expression were higher in the nicorandil treatment group. The effectiveness of nicorandil was inhibited in the PI3K and L-NAME groups. CONCLUSION The results suggest that nicorandil improves Hcy-induced coronary microvascular dysfunction through the PI3K/Akt/eNOS signalling pathway.
