AbstractWe investigated the effects of stent generation on 2-year clinical outcomes between prediabetes and diabetes patients after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). A total of 13,895 AMI patients were classified into normoglycemia (group A: 3673), prediabetes (group B: 5205), and diabetes (group C: 5017). Thereafter, all three groups were further divided into first-generation (1G)-drug-eluting stent (DES) and second-generation (2G)-DES groups. Patient-oriented composite outcomes (POCOs) defined as all-cause death, recurrent myocardial infarction (Re-MI), and any repeat revascularization were the primary outcome. Stent thrombosis (ST) was the secondary outcome. In both prediabetes and diabetes groups, the cumulative incidences of POCOs, any repeat revascularization, and ST were higher in the 1G-DES than that in the 2G-DES. In the diabetes group, all-cause death and cardiac death rates were higher in the 1G-DES than that in the 2G-DES. In both stent generations, the cumulative incidence of POCOs was similar between the prediabetes and diabetes groups. However, in the 2G-DES group, the cumulative incidences of Re-MI and all-cause death or MI were significantly higher in the diabetes group than that in the prediabetes group. To conclude, 2G-DES was more effective than 1G-DES in reducing the primary and secondary outcomes for both prediabetes and diabetes groups.

To evaluate clinical implication of prediabetes, we compared a 2-year major clinical outcome including patient-oriented composite outcomes (POCOs), stent thrombosis (ST), and stroke between prediabetes and diabetes in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and multivessel disease (MVD). A total of 4097 patients with STEMI and MVD (normoglycemia [group A: 1001], prediabetes [group B: 1518], and diabetes [group C: 1578]) who received drug-eluting stents were evaluated. Patient-oriented composite outcomes were defined as all-cause death, recurrent myocardial infarction (MI), or any repeat revascularization. The cumulative incidences of POCOs, ST, and stroke were similar between groups B and C. The cumulative incidences of all-cause death (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR]: 1.483; 95% CI: 1.027-2.143; P = .036) and all-cause death or MI (aHR: 1.429, 95% CI: 1.034-1.974; P = .031) were higher in group B than in group A. The cumulative incidences of all-cause death (aHR: 1.563; 95% CI: 1.089-2.243; P = .015), cardiac death (aHR: 1.661; 95% CI: 1.123-2.457; P = .011), and all-cause death or MI were higher in group C than in group A. In conclusion, prediabetes could potentially have a similar impact as diabetes on major clinical outcomes in patients with STEMI and MVD.

Background: This study was addressed to verify if Telecardiology (TC) improves the results of Cardiac Rehabilitation in patients following a home-based Cardiac Rehabilitation Program (CRP) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Materials and Methods: We studied three groups of patients after AMI: Group A (control group): 15 patients, who followed a standard in-hospital CRP of 3 weekly sessions of 2 months duration; Group B (study group): 15 patients, who were enrolled in a home-based CRP of similar duration and were monitored by TC with the aid of an ecg-device (Sorin Life Watch CG 6106); Group C (second control group): 15 patients, who followed a home-based CRP without ecgmonitoring by TC. All patients performed a symptom-limited exercise testing at the beginning of the CRP. Psychometric data (STAI-Y1, STAI-Y2, BDI) were also evaluated. At the end of the CRP all patients underwent repeated exercise testing and psychometric evaluation. Results: TC applied to the home-based CRP was associated with a good compliance to the program. Compared to Group C, in Group B we observed an increase of maximal heart rate, exercise duration, maximal work-load, and an improvement of anxiety, a trend to reduction of depression, and an improvement of quality of life. These results were very similar to Group A patients following a hospital-based CRP. Conclusions: TC improves compliance, functional capacity and psychological profile of patients undergoing a home-based CRP, compared to patients enrolled in a homebased CRP without ecg-monitoring by Telecardiology.

Background Good results of drug-eluting balloon (DEB) use are achieved in in-stent restenosis (ISR) lesions, small vessel disease, long lesions, and bifurcations. However, few reports exist about DEB use in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with ISR. This study’s aim was to evaluate the efficacy of DEB for AMI with ISR. Methods Between November 2011 and December 2015, 117 consecutive patients experienced AMI including ST-segment elevation MI, and non-ST-segment elevation MI due to ISR, and received percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We divided our patients into two groups: (1) PCI with further DEB, and (2) PCI with further drug-eluting stent (DES). Clinical outcomes such as target lesion revascularization, target vessel revascularization, recurrent MI, stroke, cardiovascular mortality, and all-cause mortality were analyzed. Results The patients’ average age was 68.37 ± 11.41 years; 69.2% were male. A total of 75 patients were enrolled in the DEB group, and 42 patients were enrolled in the DES group. The baseline characteristics between the two groups were the same without statistical differences except for gender. Peak levels of cardiac biomarker, pre- and post-PCI cardiac function were similar between two groups. The major adverse cardiac cerebral events rate (34.0% vs. 35.7%; p = 0.688) and cardiovascular mortality rate (11.7% vs. 12.8%; p = 1.000) were similar in both groups. Conclusions DEB is a reasonable strategy for AMI with ISR. Compared with DES, DEB is an alternative strategy which yielded acceptable short-term outcomes and similar 1-year clinical outcomes.

Background: Acute Myocardial Infarction is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Its prevalence among developing countries has increased significantly over the past two decades. Acute myocardial infarction is associated with electrolyte imbalance most commonly hypomagnesemia and hypokalaemia. Both are associated with ventricular arrhythmia which can lead to increase hospital mortality and morbidity. Objectives: To find out association of hypomagnesemia with ventricular arrhythmia in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Methods: Patients with acute myocardial infarction admitted in the department of Cardiology, DMCH, within the study period and who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria were taken as study sample. Informed consent was taken from all patients and then the patients were evaluated by detailed history, clinical examination and relevant investigations. Serum magnesium level was measured after admission. The sample population was Grouped into Group A(Acute myocardial infarction with normal serum magnesium) and Group B(Acute myocardial infarction with hypomagnesemia). Patients were followed up regularly till discharge or death for evidence of ventricular arrhythmia. Then the obtained data was analysed with SPSS 22.0. Results: Among 110 patients of Acute MI, 44 patients were in Group A who had plasma magnesium level e”0.7 mmol/ l and 66 patients were in Group B who had plasma magnesium level <0.7 mmol/l. Incidence of hypoagnesemia was 60% and more common in male. Male vs female percentage of hypomagnesemia were 61% vs 39%. Mean age was 54.16±11.72 yrs vs 57.52±10.59 yrs in group A vs group B. On admission serum magnesium level was 0.9218 vs 0.523 mmol/L( group A vs group B). The study showed that group B patients were more haemodynamically unstable and mean SBP and DBP were found 89.39±19.93 and 60.67±11.56 mm-Hg respectively. Troponin I was markedly increased in group B than A (i.e 4.7±1.79 vs 14.6±4.3 vs ng/ml). Adverse cardiac events such as cardiogenic shock (group A vs group B = 11.36% vs 28.27%) and ventricular arrhythmias(group A vs group B = 34% vs 72.73%) were also higher in group B than group A. Mean hospital stay for group B patient was higher than group A(6.78±0.85 vs 5.31±0.35 days). The study result showed that ventricular arrhythmia is negatively correlated with serum magnesium and the correlation coefficient was - 0.541. It also showed that serum Magnesium is positively correlated with Potassium(r= 0.831, p<0.01) and Calcium(r= 0.902, p<0.001). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that hypomagnesemia is an independent risk factor for ventricular arrhythmia. Conclusions: This study showed that in patients with acute myocardial infarction, hypomagnesemia is common and it is significantly associated with ventricular arrhythmia. So the presence of hypomagnesemia should alert the physicians to adopt corrective measures as it increases both mortality and morbidity. Bangladesh Heart Journal 2020; 35(1) : 39-46
