Impact of Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction on Functional Left Ventricular Remodeling and Diastolic Dysfunction. J Am Heart Assoc 2024; 13:e033596. [PMID: 38686863 DOI: 10.1161/jaha.123.033596] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2024] [Accepted: 03/21/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is a common complication of ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and can lead to adverse cardiovascular events. Whether CMD after STEMI is associated with functional left ventricular remodeling (FLVR) and diastolic dysfunction, has not been investigated. METHODS AND RESULTS This is a nonrandomized, observational, prospective study of patients with STEMI with multivessel disease. Coronary flow reserve and index of microcirculatory resistance of the culprit vessel were measured at 3 months post-STEMI. CMD was defined as index of microcirculatory resistance ≥25 or coronary flow reserve <2.0 with a normal fractional flow reserve. We examined the association between CMD, LV diastolic dysfunction, FLVR, and major adverse cardiac events at 12-month follow-up. A total of 210 patients were enrolled; 59.5% were men, with a median age of 65 (interquartile range, 58-76) years. At 3-month follow-up, 57 patients (27.14%) exhibited CMD. After 12 months, when compared with patients without CMD, patients with CMD had poorer LV systolic function recovery (-10.00% versus 8.00%; P<0.001), higher prevalence of grade 2 LV diastolic dysfunction (73.08% versus 1.32%; P<0.001), higher prevalence of group 3 or 4 FLVR (11.32% versus 7.28% and 22.64% versus 1.99%, respectively; P<0.001), and higher incidence of major adverse cardiac events (50.9% versus 9.8%; P<0.001). Index of microcirculatory resistance was independently associated with LV diastolic dysfunction and adverse FLVR. CONCLUSIONS CMD is present in ≈1 of 4 patients with STEMI during follow-up. Patients with CMD have a higher prevalence of LV diastolic dysfunction, adverse FLVR, and major adverse cardiac events at 12 months compared with those without CMD.

Enterobacterales Biofilm-Specific Genes and Antimicrobial and Anti-Inflammatory Biomarkers in the Blood of Patients with Ischemic Heart Disease. Diagnostics (Basel) 2024; 14:546. [PMID: 38473018 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics14050546] [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: 02/03/2024] [Revised: 02/29/2024] [Accepted: 03/01/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is the most prevalent type of cardiovascular disease. The main cause of IHD is atherosclerosis, which is a multifactorial inflammatory disease of blood vessels. Studies show that bacteria might have a significant impact on the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and plaque rupture. This study aimed to evaluate the complexity of interactions between bacteria and the human body concerning metabolites and bacterial genes in patients with ischemic heart disease. METHODS Bacterial 16S rDNA and wcaF, papC, and sdhC genes were detected in whole blood using a real-time PCR methodology. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure the concentration of the LL-37 protein. An analysis of ARA in blood plasma was performed. RESULTS Bacterial 16S rDNA was detected in 31% of the study patients, and the genes wcaF and sdhC in 20%. Enterobacterales genes were detected more frequently in patients younger than 65 years than in patients aged 65 years and older (p = 0.018) and in patients with type 2 diabetes (p = 0.048). Concentrations of the human antimicrobial peptide LL-37 and 12S-HETE concentrations were determined to be higher if patients had 16S rDNA and biofilm-specific genes. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study enhance the understanding that Enterobacterales bacteria may participate in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and IHD. Bacterial DNA and host metabolites in higher concentrations appear to be detected.

Abstract
Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is a common complication of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and can lead to adverse cardiovascular events. This is a non-randomized, observational, prospective study of STEMI patients with multivessel disease who underwent primary PCI, grouped based on whether they underwent balloon pre-dilatation stenting or direct stenting of the culprit lesion. Coronary physiology measurements were performed 3 months post-PCI including coronary flow reserve (CFR) and index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) measurements at the culprit vessel. The primary endpoint was the prevalence of CMD at 3 months, defined as IMR ≥ 25 or CFR < 2.0 with a normal fractional flow reserve. Secondary endpoints included major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) at 12 months. Two hundred ten patients were enrolled; most were men, 125 (59.5%), with a median age of 65 years. One hundred twelve (53.2%) underwent balloon pre-dilatation before stenting, and 98 (46.7%) underwent direct stenting. The prevalence of CMD at 3 months was lower in the direct stenting group than in the balloon pre-dilatation stenting group (12.24% vs. 40.18%; p < 0.001). Aspiration thrombectomy and administration of intracoronary glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors were associated with lower odds of CMD (OR = 0.175, p = 0.001 and OR = 0.113, p = 0.001, respectively). Notably, MACE in patients who underwent direct stenting was lower than in those who underwent balloon pre-dilatation before stenting (14.29% vs. 26.79%; p = 0.040). In STEMI patients with multivessel disease, direct stenting of the culprit lesion, aspiration thrombectomy and administration of intracoronary glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors were associated with a lower prevalence of CMD at 3 months and lower incidence of MACE at 12 months compared with balloon pre-dilatation stenting.This trial is registered at https://ichgcp.net/clinical-trials-registry/NCT05406297 .

The Impact of Trimethylamine N-Oxide and Coronary Microcirculatory Dysfunction on Outcomes following ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction. J Cardiovasc Dev Dis 2023; 10:jcdd10050197. [PMID: 37233164 DOI: 10.3390/jcdd10050197] [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: 04/01/2023] [Revised: 04/21/2023] [Accepted: 04/21/2023] [Indexed: 05/27/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Persistent coronary microcirculatory dysfunction (CMD) and elevated trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) levels after ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) may drive negative structural and electrical cardiac remodeling, resulting in new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) and a decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). AIMS TMAO and CMD are investigated as potential predictors of new-onset AF and left ventricular remodeling following STEMI. METHODS This prospective study included STEMI patients who had primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) followed by staged PCI three months later. Cardiac ultrasound images were obtained at baseline and after 12 months to assess LVEF. Coronary flow reserve (CFR), and index of microvascular resistance (IMR) were assessed using the coronary pressure wire during the staged PCI. Microcirculatory dysfunction was defined as having an IMR value ≥25 U and CFR value <2.5 U. RESULTS A total of 200 patients were included in the study. Patients were categorized according to whether or not they had CMD. Neither group differed from the other with regards to known risk factors. Despite making up only 40.5% of the study population, females represented 67.4% of the CMD group p < 0.001. Similarly, CMD patients had a much higher prevalence of diabetes than those without CMD (45.7% vs. 18.2%; p < 0.001). At the one-year follow-up, the LVEF in the CMD group had decreased to significantly lower levels than those in the non-CMD group (40% vs. 50%; p < 0.001), whereas it had been higher in the CMD group at baseline (45% vs. 40%; p = 0.019). Similarly, during the follow-up, the CMD group had a greater incidence of AF (32.6% vs. 4.5%; p < 0.001). In the adjusted multivariable analysis, the IMR and TMAO were associated with increased odds of AF development (OR: 1.066, 95% CI: 1.018-1.117, p = 0.007), and (OR: 1.290, 95% CI: 1.002-1.660, p = 0.048), respectively. Similarly, elevated levels of IMR and TMAO were linked with decreased odds of LVEF improvement, while higher CFR values are related to a greater likelihood of LVEF improvement. CONCLUSIONS CMD and elevated TMAO levels were highly prevalent three months after STEMI. Patients with CMD had an increased incidence of AF and a lower LVEF 12 months after STEMI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epinephrine is routinely utilized in cardiac arrest; however, it is unclear if the route of administration affects outcomes in acute myocardial infarction patients with cardiac arrest. OBJECTIVES To compare the efficacy of epinephrine administered via the peripheral intravenous (IV), central IV, and intracoronary (IC) routes. METHODS Prospective two-center pilot cohort study of acute myocardial infarction patients who suffered cardiac arrest in the cardiac catheterization laboratory during percutaneous coronary intervention. We compared the outcomes of patients who received epinephrine via peripheral IV, central IV, or IC. RESULTS 158 participants were enrolled, 48 (30.4%), 50 (31.6%), and 60 (38.0%) in the central IV, IC, and peripheral IV arms, respectively. Peripheral IV epinephrine administration route was associated with lower odds of achieving return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC, odds ratio = 0.14, 95% confidence interval = 0.05-0.36, p < 0.0001) compared with central IV and IC administration. (There was no difference between central IV and IC routes; p = 0.9343.) The odds of stent thrombosis were significantly higher with the IC route (IC vs. peripheral IV OR = 4.6, 95% CI = 1.5-14.3, p = 0.0094; IC vs. central IV OR = 6.0, 95% CI = 1.9-19.2, p = 0.0025). Post-ROSC neurologic outcomes were better for central IV and IC routes when compared with peripheral IV. CONCLUSION Epinephrine administration via central IV and IC routes was associated with a higher rate of ROSC and better neurologic outcomes compared with peripheral IV administration. IC administration was associated with a higher risk of stent thrombosis. Trial registration This trial is registered at NCT05253937 .

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Ticagrelor is a first drug of a new chemical class cyclopentyltriazolopyrimidines and a third-generation P2Y12 inhibitor that targets and directly binds platelet P2Y12 receptors. It is recommended to be given as a dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with aspirin for the prevention of thrombotic events and the following ischemic heart disease. Ticagrelor is also known to have pleiotropic effects of unknown mechanisms. It is questioned whether ticagrelor could influence the expression of cytochrome P450 4F2 (CYP4F2) enzyme involved in the resolution of inflammation and biosynthesis of pro-inflammatory eicosanoids. This study aimed to investigate if ticagrelor could alter the expression of CYP4F2 and its encoded protein concentration in both endothelial cells (human umbilical vein endothelial cells, HUVEC) and the metabolism of various xenobiotics performing, CYPs-rich liver cells (HepG2).
Material and methods
The expression of CYP4F2 was determined in HUVEC and HepG2 cell lines by qPCR on real time thermal cycler ABI 7900HT (Applied Biosystems, USA). CYP4F2 protein concentration was determined with sandwich enzyme immunoassay kit for CYP4F2 (Cloud-Clone Corp., USA).
Results and conclusions
Ticagrelor was observed to reduce the expression of CYP4F2 in HUVEC and HepG2 cell lines. It also reduced CYP4F2 protein levels in HUVEC cells. Thus, ticagrelor may have a protective role in endothelial cells and reduce vascular inflammation.

Abstract
Background Antiplatelet drugs, such as ticagrelor, which target platelet P2Y12 receptors, are used for prevention of ischemic heart disease. Ticagrelor is also known to have pleiotropic effects of unknown mechanisms. Ticagrelor could influence the expression of molecules involved in resolution of inflammation. This study aimed to investigate if ticagrelor could change the expression of CYP4F2 and its encoded protein concentration and, additionally, to determine ticagrelor possible antibacterial activity against gram-negative bacteria. Methods CYP4F2 expression was determined in HUVEC and HepG2 cell lines by qPCR. CYP4F2 protein concentration was determined by ELISA. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed using a disc diffusion method. Results Ticagrelor was observed to reduce the expression of CYP4F2 in HUVEC and HepG2 cell lines. It also reduced CYP4F2 protein levels in HUVEC cells. Ticagrelor had no bactericidal activity against gram-negative third generation cephalosporin resistant E. coli. Conclusion Ticagrelor reduced CYP4F2 protein concentration in HUVEC, and CYP4F2 expression in HUVEC and HepG2 cells, but had no effect on third-generation cephalosporin-resistant E. coli strains.

Abstract
Aim: ESBL-producing and bacterial biofilms-forming Escherichia coli are associated with antimicrobial treatment failure. This study aimed to investigate the phenotypic resistance mechanisms of CTX-M E. coli against old antibiotics - cell wall synthesis inhibitors temocillin, nitrofurantoin and fosfomycin. Materials & Methods: Susceptibility to old antibiotics testing was performed using disk diffusion method, biofilm formation was evaluated spectrophotometrically, and PCR was used for the determination of CTX-M type. Results & conclusion: Temocillin was active against nearly 93%, nitrofurantoin and fosfomycin, respectively, 91.7% and 98.6% of tested E. coli. Thus, it demonstrated to be a good alternative therapeutic option against ESBL infections. Bacteria resistant to old antibiotics had CTX-M-15 or CTX-M-15, TEM-1 and OXA-1 combinations. No significant association was found between CTX-M E. coli resistance to temocillin, nitrofurantoin and fosfomycin; however, the level of biofilm formation was found as not affected by the type of CTX-M β-lactamases.

Abstract
Antiplatelet drugs are prescribed without considering the diabetic status of the patient. The objective of the current investigation was to determine the impact of clinical factors, CYP4F2 enzyme and 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) concentrations on high on-treatment platelet reactivity in patients with diabetes treated with antiplatelet drugs following acute coronary syndromes. A total of 667 patients were included in the study. Dual antiplatelet drug loading dosages with aspirin (300 mg) and ticagrelor (180 mg) or clopidogrel (600 mg) were prescribed to all the studied patients. Testing of platelet aggregation was performed the day after loading antiplatelet drug dosages. Platelet aggregation test was done according to the classical Born method. Multivariate binary regression analysis demonstrated that insulin use and higher 20-HETE concentration increased the odds of high on-treatment platelet reactivity during the initiation of antiplatelet drug therapy (OR: 3.968, 95% CI: 1.478-10.656, p = 0.006 and OR: 1.139, 95% CI: 1.073-1.210, respectively, p < 0.001). Ticagrelor use decreased the odds of developing high on-treatment platelet reactivity (OR: 0.238, 95% CI: 0.097-0.585, p = 0.002). Data from this study revealed that high on-treatment platelet reactivity during dual antiplatelet therapy in patients with diabetes may depend on such factors as insulin prescription and 20-HETE concentration.

Abstract
Purpose: To find an association of relative expression of hsa-miR-24-3p and hsa-miR-34a-5p molecules and CYP4F2 enzyme activity in blood plasma of stable angina pectoris (AP) patients'.Materials and Methods: MiRNA gene expression analysis was performed on total RNA extracted from blood plasma, using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. CYP4F2 enzyme levels were determined using commercial ELISA kit. In total, 32 AP and 15 control samples were examined.Results: The relative expression of hsa-miR-24-3p and hsa-miR-34a-5p was upregulated by 4.4 (p = 0.0001) and 3.8 (p = 0.005) -fold in AP patient's blood plasma compared to control subjects. CYP4F2 enzyme level in blood plasma were 2.1 (p = 0.001) times lower in AP patients. Circulating hsa-miR-24-3p was negatively associated with CYP4F2 enzyme level (Spearman correlation coefficient rank r= -0.32; p = 0.03). Moreover, patients that were taking atorvastatin, had 1.5 (p = 0.04) times higher hsa-miR-24-3p expression in blood plasma.Conclusions. Our data suggest that hsa-miR-24-3p might have an effect on CYP4F2 activity during atherosclerosis.

Abstract
The cytochrome P450 (CYP)4F2 gene is known to influence mean coumarin dose. The aim of the present study was to undertake a meta-analysis at the individual patients level to capture the possible effect of ethnicity, gene-gene interaction, or other drugs on the association and to verify if inclusion of CYP4F2*3 variant into dosing algorithms improves the prediction of mean coumarin dose. We asked the authors of our previous meta-analysis (30 articles) and of 38 new articles retrieved by a systematic review to send us individual patients' data. The final collection consists of 15,754 patients split into a derivation and validation cohort. The CYP4F2*3 polymorphism was consistently associated with an increase in mean coumarin dose (+9% (95% confidence interval (CI) 7-10%), with a higher effect in women, in patients taking acenocoumarol, and in white patients. The inclusion of the CYP4F2*3 in dosing algorithms slightly improved the prediction of stable coumarin dose. New pharmacogenetic equations potentially useful for clinical practice were derived.

Abstract
The worldwide prevalence of beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (BL-E) is increasing. Bacterial infections involving ESBLs can be more difficult to treat because of antibiotic resistance, as there are fewer effective antibiotics left to be used. Moreover, treatment failure is often observed. Thus, quick and accurate identification of β-lactamases is imperative to minimize it. This review article describes most commonly used phenotypic techniques and molecular methods for the detection of ESBLs, acquired AmpC β-lactamases, and carbapenemases produced by Enterobacteriaceae. Phenotypic detection tests remain useful and relevant in clinical laboratories while molecular diagnostic methods are less affordable, more technically demanding, and not standardized. Molecular methods could be used to speed up results of bacterial antibiotic resistance or to clarify the results of phenotypic β-lactamases confirmation tests.

Abstract
Aim: To determine clinically significant factors which may alter the effect of dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and ticagrelor or clopidogrel in patients who had undergone percutaneous coronary intervention and stent implantation. Materials & methods: The study included 378 patients. All the patients had undergone percutaneous coronary intervention and stent implantation. Platelet aggregation and genotyping for CYP2C19 *2 (rs4244285) and CYP4F2 (rs2108622, rs1558139, rs3093135 and rs2074902) was performed. Results: Significantly lower platelet aggregation values (%agr) were detected in ticagrelor users who carried CYP4F2 rs3093135 TT variant (14.67 ± 5.07%agr) versus AA (22.88 ± 6.30%agr), p = 0.0004, or AT (20.56 ± 6.51%agr), p = 0.0126. Conclusion: Results of the current study showed that CYP4F2 rs3093135 TT variant carriers had a higher antiplatelet effect of ticagrelor, and more frequently had nonprocedural bleeding during ticagrelor therapy, as compared with AA and AT variant carriers.

Abstract
We present two clinical cases of acute and subacute coronary artery stent thrombosis in patients treated at the Department of Interventional Cardiology in Aktobe, Kazakhstan. Our results draw attention to the impact of CYP3A4*1B on the clinical effect of clopidogrel during dual antiplatelet therapy after PCI. The genotyping performed at the Laboratory of Molecular Cardiology of Institute of Cardiology of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences in Lithuania revealed that both patients were homozygous carriers of CYP3A4*1B*1B. They also were carriers of CYP2C19 loss-of-function *2 or *3 alleles (*1*2 and *1*3, respectively).

Abstract
Dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and clopidogrel is used to lower the risk of arterial thrombosis. However, this strategy is not always successful owing to high interindividual variability in response to antiplatelet therapy. To evaluate an impact of CYP2C19 G681A and CYP4F2 G1347A polymorphisms and clinical factors on dual antiplatelet effect of clopidogrel and aspirin. Totally 89 patients who continued dual aspirin and clopidogrel antiplatelet therapy for at least of 14 days were included into the further study. Test for platelet aggregation was performed according to the classical Born method. Genotyping of CYP2C19*2 and CYP2C19*3 and CYP4F2*3 was done by using commercial probes from Applied Biosystems (UK). Patient age, weight and body weight index did not correlate significantly with platelet aggregation level both induced by ADP and epinephrine (P > 0.05). Serum concentration of creatinine, diabetes, angiotensin II receptor blockers, B-blockers, statin or omeprazole use had no significant effect on platelet aggregation. The users of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors had lower platelet aggregation levels with epinephrine vs. nonusers: 28.80 ± 13.25 vs. 51.15 ± 23.50, P < 0.03, respectively. Platelet aggregation with ADP was higher in CYP2C19*1*2 genotype carriers than in CYP2C19*1*1 carriers (P = 0.01). Platelet aggregation with epinephrine was higher in CYP4F2 GA genotype carriers than in GG (P = 0.04) or AA (P = 0.01) carriers. Our study confirms that CYP2C19 G681A genotype has an impact on antiplatelet effect of clopidogrel. The novelty is that the platelet aggregation after induction with epinephrine is influenced by CYP4F2 G1347A genotype.

Abstract
Aim: To determine the main clinical and genetic factors having impact on early coronary stent thrombosis. Materials & methods: Genotyping of CYP2C19*2, *17 and CYP4F2*3 in patients with (n = 31) and without stent thrombosis (n = 456) was performed. Clinical and genetic data were analyzed by binary logistic regression. Results: Smoking (OR: 0.317; 95% CI: 0.131–0.767), high-density lipoprotein level in mmol/l (OR: 0.142; 95% CI: 0.040–0.506), CYP2C19*2*2 versus *1*1 and *1*2 genotype (OR: 11.625; 95% CI: 3.498–38.633), CYP4F2 AA versus GA and GG genotype (OR: 3.532; 95% CI: 1.153–10.822) were associated with early stent thrombosis. Conclusion: For the first time we have identified a clinically important polymorphism (CYP4F2 G1347A) that was independently associated with early stent thrombosis.
