Subjects: acute myocardial infarction, myocardial area-at-risk, feature tracking, infarct size, myocardial salvage index, left ventricular recovery, Diseases of the circulatory (Cardiovascular) system, RC666-701
Abstract: Background: Left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV GLS) is a superior predictor of adverse cardiac events in patients with myocardial infarction and heart failure. We investigated the ability of morphological features of infarcted myocardium to detect acute left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and predict LV functional recovery after three months in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods: Sixty-six STEMI patients were included in the C-reactive protein (CRP) apheresis in Acute Myocardial Infarction Study (CAMI-1). LV ejection fraction (LVEF), LV GLS, LV global circumferential strain (LV GCS), infarct size (IS), area-at-risk (AAR), and myocardial salvage index (MSI) were assessed by CMR 5 ± 3 days (baseline) and 12 ± 2 weeks after (follow-up) the diagnosis of first acute STEMI. Results: Significant changes in myocardial injury parameters were identified after 12 weeks of STEMI diagnosis. IS decreased from 23.59 ± 11.69% at baseline to 18.29 ± 8.32% at follow-up (p < 0.001). AAR and MVO also significantly reduced after 12 weeks. At baseline, there were reasonably moderate correlations between IS and LVEF (r = −0.479, p < 0.001), LV GLS (r = 0.441, p < 0.001) and LV GCS (r = 0.396, p = 0.001) as well as between AAR and LVEF (r = −0.430, p = 0.003), LV GLS (r = 0.501, p < 0.001) and weak with LV GCS (r = 0.342, p = 0.020). At follow-up, only MSI and change in LV GCS over time showed a weak but significant correlation (r = −0.347, p = 0.021). Patients with larger AAR at baseline improved more in LVEF (p = 0.019) and LV GLS (p = 0.020) but not in LV GCS. Conclusion: The CMR tissue characteristics of myocardial injury correlate with the magnitude of LV dysfunction during the acute stage of STEMI. AAR predicts improvement in LVEF and LV GLS, while MSI is a sensitive marker of LV GCS recovery at three months follow-up after STEMI.

Abstract: Objective While greater body mass index (BMI) is associated with increased risk of developing atrial fibrillation (AF), the impact of BMI on outcomes in newly diagnosed AF is unclear. We examine the influence of BMI on outcomes and whether this is modified by sex and evaluate the effect of non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOACs) in patients with high BMI.Methods GARFIELD-AF is a prospective registry of 52 057 newly diagnosed AF patients. The study population comprised 40 482 participants: 703 underweight (BMI

Subjects: SAMe-TT2R2, atrial fibrillation, non-vitamin-K antagonist oral anticoagulants, vitamin-K-antagonist oral anticoagulants, Diseases of the circulatory (Cardiovascular) system, RC666-701
Abstract: Aim: The SAMe-TT2R2 score helps identify patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) likely to have poor anticoagulation control during anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonists (VKA) and those with scores >2 might be better managed with a target-specific oral anticoagulant (NOAC). We hypothesized that in clinical practice, VKAs may be prescribed less frequently to patients with AF and SAMe-TT2R2 scores >2 than to patients with lower scores. Methods and results: We analyzed the Phase III dataset of the Global Registry on Long-Term Oral Antithrombotic Treatment in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation (GLORIA-AF), a large, global, prospective global registry of patients with newly diagnosed AF and ≥1 stroke risk factor. We compared baseline clinical characteristics and antithrombotic prescriptions to determine the probability of the VKA prescription among anticoagulated patients with the baseline SAMe-TT2R2 score >2 and ≤ 2. Among 17,465 anticoagulated patients with AF, 4,828 (27.6%) patients were prescribed VKA and 12,637 (72.4%) patients an NOAC: 11,884 (68.0%) patients had SAMe-TT2R2 scores 0-2 and 5,581 (32.0%) patients had scores >2. The proportion of patients prescribed VKA was 28.0% among patients with SAMe-TT2R2 scores >2 and 27.5% in those with scores ≤2. Conclusions: The lack of a clear association between the SAMe-TT2R2 score and anticoagulant selection may be attributed to the relative efficacy and safety profiles between NOACs and VKAs as well as to the absence of trial evidence that an SAMe-TT2R2-guided strategy for the selection of the type of anticoagulation in NVAF patients has an impact on clinical outcomes of efficacy and safety. The latter hypothesis is currently being tested in a randomized controlled trial.

Abstract: Background: The Global Anticoagulant Registry in the FIELD–Atrial Fibrillation (GARFIELD-AF) is an ongoing prospective noninterventional registry, which is providing important information on the baseline characteristics, treatment patterns, and 1-year outcomes in patients with newly diagnosed non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). This report describes data from Indian patients recruited in this registry. Methods and results: A total of 52,014 patients with newly diagnosed AF were enrolled globally; of these, 1388 patients were recruited from 26 sites within India (2012–2016). In India, the mean age was 65.8 years at diagnosis of NVAF. Hypertension was the most prevalent risk factor for AF, present in 68.5% of patients from India and in 76.3% of patients globally (P

5. C-Reactive Protein Apheresis as Anti-inflammatory Therapy in Acute Myocardial Infarction: Results of the CAMI-1 Study

Author: Wolfgang Ries, Jan Torzewski, Franz Heigl, Christian Pfluecke, Sebastian Kelle, Harald Darius, Hueseyin Ince, Steffen Mitzner, Peter Nordbeck, Christian Butter, Horst Skarabis, Ahmed Sheriff, and Christoph D. Garlichs
Subjects: apheresis, myocardial infarction, CRP, immunoadsorption, inflammation, Diseases of the circulatory (Cardiovascular) system, RC666-701
Abstract: Background: C-reactive protein (CRP) is a well-known marker of inflammation. It is less known that CRP mediates tissue damage in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) thus potentially worsening prognosis. A newly developed specific CRP adsorber allows efficient lowering of CRP levels and may improve survival.Objectives: Aim of this multi-center, controlled, non-randomized first-in-man CRP apheresis in Acute Myocardial Infarction study (CAMI-1) was to investigate the relationship between CRP levels (CRP gradient), myocardial infarct size and function as well as safety and efficacy of CRP apheresis in the setting of acute ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) in humans.Methods: Eighty-three patients (45 apheresis, 38 controls) were recruited. CRP apheresis was performed 24 ± 12, 48 ± 12, and optionally 72 ± 12 h after onset of symptoms. First aphereses were performed at a median CRP concentration of 23.0 mg/L (range 9–279). In each apheresis session, 5,900 ± 400 mL plasma was processed via peripheral venous access. Primary study endpoint was a reduction in myocardial infarct size after STEMI as determined by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR).Results: In controls, the CRP concentration significantly correlated with infarct size (p = 0.002) and decreased myocardial function (p ≤ 0.001). The CRP concentration in apheresis patients did not correlate with infarct size (p = 0.66) or left ventricular (LV) function (p = 0.79) and global strains and therefore significantly differed from controls (p = 0.03 and p = 0.002). Three major adverse cardiac events occurred in the control group after 12 months, none occurred in the apheresis group. Mean CRP depletion achieved over all apheresis procedures was 53.0 ± 15.1%. Apheresis sessions were well-tolerated. Reduced infarct size in the apheresis group compared to the control group (primary endpoint) was not achieved according to the original statistical analysis plan. Taking into account the individual CRP levels, however, revealed significant results. Modifications of the analysis plan were introduced in order to recruit a sufficient number of patients.Conclusions: This pilot study in humans reveals a correlation between CRP concentration and myocardial infarct size. CRP concentrations in STEMI can effectively be reduced by CRP apheresis without relevant side effects. CRP apheresis has the potential to interfere with deleterious aspects of STEMI. By lowering CRP levels, it resulted in the loss of correlation of CRP concentrations with myocardial infarct sizes as well as LV function. These results encourage a larger, randomized clinical trial.Clinical Trial Registration:https://www.drks.de/drks_web/navigate.do?navigationId=trial.HTML&TRIAL_ID=DRKS00008988, DRKS00008988.

Abstract: Vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) need to be individually dosed. International guidelines recommend a target range of international normalised ratio (INR) of 2.0-3.0 for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation (AF). We analysed the time in this therapeutic range (TTR) of VKA-treated patients with newly diagnosed AF in the ongoing, global, observational registry GARFIELD-AF. Taking TTR as a measure of the quality of patient management, we analysed its relationship with 1-year outcomes, including stroke/systemic embolism (SE), major bleeding, and all-cause mortality.TTR was calculated for 9934 patients using 136,082 INR measurements during 1-year follow-up. The mean TTR was 55.0%; values were similar for different VKAs. 5851 (58.9%) patients had TTR

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Venous thromboembolism (VTE), encompassing both deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. METHODS: GARFIELD-VTE is a prospective, non-interventional observational study of real-world treatment practices. We aimed to capture the 36-month clinical outcomes of 10,679 patients with objectively confirmed VTE enrolled between May 2014 and January 2017 from 415 sites in 28 countries. FINDINGS: A total of 6582 (61.6 %) patients had DVT alone, 4097 (38.4 %) had PE ± DVT. At baseline, 98.1 % of patients received anticoagulation (AC) with or without other modalities of therapy. The proportion of patients on AC therapy decreased over time: 87.6 % at 3 months, 73.0 % at 6 months, 54.2 % at 12 months and 42.0 % at 36 months. At 12-months follow-up, the incidences (95 % confidence interval [CI]) of all-cause mortality, recurrent VTE and major bleeding were 6.5 (7.0-8.1), 5.4 (4.9-5.9) and 2.7 (2.4-3.0) per 100 person-years, respectively. At 36-months, these decreased to 4.4 (4.2-4.7), 3.5 (3.2-2.7) and 1.4 (1.3-1.6) per 100 person-years, respectively. Over 36-months, the rate of all-cause mortality and major bleeds were highest in patients treated with parenteral therapy (PAR) versus oral anti-coagulants (OAC) and no OAC, and the rate of recurrent VTE was highest in patients on no OAC versus those on PAR and OAC. The most frequent cause of death after 36-month follow-up was cancer (n = 565, 48.6 %), followed by cardiac (n = 94, 8.1 %), and VTE (n = 38, 3.2 %). Most recurrent VTE events were DVT alone (n = 564, 63.3 %), with the remainder PE, (n = 236, 27.3 %), or PE in combination with DVT (n = 63, 7.3 %). INTERPRETATION: GARFIELD-VTE provides a global perspective of anticoagulation patterns and highlights the accumulation of events within the first 12 months after diagnosis. These findings may help identify treatment gaps for subsequent interventions to improve patient outcomes in this patient population. ispartof: THROMBOSIS RESEARCH vol:222 pages:31-39 ispartof: location:United States status: published

Subjects: acute myocardial infarction, myocardial area-at-risk, feature tracking, infarct size, myocardial salvage index, left ventricular recovery, strain
Abstract: Background: Left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV GLS) is a superior predictor of adverse cardiac events in patients with myocardial infarction and heart failure. We investigated the ability of morphological features of infarcted myocardium to detect acute left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and predict LV functional recovery after three months in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods: Sixty-six STEMI patients were included in the C-reactive protein (CRP) apheresis in Acute Myocardial Infarction Study (CAMI-1). LV ejection fraction (LVEF), LV GLS, LV global circumferential strain (LV GCS), infarct size (IS), area-at-risk (AAR), and myocardial salvage index (MSI) were assessed by CMR 5 ± 3 days (baseline) and 12 ± 2 weeks after (follow-up) the diagnosis of first acute STEMI. Results: Significant changes in myocardial injury parameters were identified after 12 weeks of STEMI diagnosis. IS decreased from 23.59 ± 11.69% at baseline to 18.29 ± 8.32% at follow-up (p < 0.001). AAR and MVO also significantly reduced after 12 weeks. At baseline, there were reasonably moderate correlations between IS and LVEF (r = −0.479, p < 0.001), LV GLS (r = 0.441, p < 0.001) and LV GCS (r = 0.396, p = 0.001) as well as between AAR and LVEF (r = −0.430, p = 0.003), LV GLS (r = 0.501, p < 0.001) and weak with LV GCS (r = 0.342, p = 0.020). At follow-up, only MSI and change in LV GCS over time showed a weak but significant correlation (r = −0.347, p = 0.021). Patients with larger AAR at baseline improved more in LVEF (p = 0.019) and LV GLS (p = 0.020) but not in LV GCS. Conclusion: The CMR tissue characteristics of myocardial injury correlate with the magnitude of LV dysfunction during the acute stage of STEMI. AAR predicts improvement in LVEF and LV GLS, while MSI is a sensitive marker of LV GCS recovery at three months follow-up after STEMI.

11. Diabetes und kardiovaskuläre Ereignisse

Author: Harald Darius
Subjects: Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism, Internal Medicine
Abstract: ZUSAMMENFASSUNGBei Diabetes kommt es in Abhängigkeit von Dauer und Einstellung zu zahlreichen hämostaseologischen Veränderungen, die in einen prothrombotischen Status resultieren und zur hohen kardiovaskulären Ereignisrate beitragen. Zur Reduktion der Ereignisrate wird eine prophylaktische Gabe von Acetylsalicylsäure (ASS) diskutiert. Entscheidend ist dabei ein positiver Nettoeffekt, dies bedeutet, dass mehr kardiovaskuläre Ereignisse verhindert als Blutungen verursacht werden. Nach einem kardialen Ereignis ist das ischämische Risiko deutlich höher, sodass die Kombination aus 2 Thrombozyteninhibitoren (DAPT) für eine begrenzte Dauer verschrieben wird. Bei besonders hohem Risiko und niedrigem Blutungsrisiko kann die DAPT fortgesetzt oder eine Dual-Pathway Therapie mit ASS und niedrig dosiertem Rivaroxaban eingesetzt werden. Bei gleichzeitigem Vorliegen von Vorhofflimmern steht die Fortsetzung der oralen Antikoagulation mit einem NOAK (Neue orale Antikoagulanzien) im Vordergrund und die Thrombozyteninhibitortherapie wird in deutlich reduzierter Dauer und Intensität empfohlen.

Abstract: Background The effects of empagliflozin in patients with chronic kidney disease who are at risk for disease progression are not well understood. The EMPA-KIDNEY trial was designed to assess the effects of treatment with empagliflozin in a broad range of such patients. Methods We enrolled patients with chronic kidney disease who had an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of at least 20 but less than 45 ml per minute per 1.73 m2 of body-surface area, or who had an eGFR of at least 45 but less than 90 ml per minute per 1.73 m2 with a urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (with albumin measured in milligrams and creatinine measured in grams) of at least 200. Patients were randomly assigned to receive empagliflozin (10 mg once daily) or matching placebo. The primary outcome was a composite of progression of kidney disease (defined as end-stage kidney disease, a sustained decrease in eGFR to Results A total of 6609 patients underwent randomization. During a median of 2.0 years of follow-up, progression of kidney disease or death from cardiovascular causes occurred in 432 of 3304 patients (13.1%) in the empagliflozin group and in 558 of 3305 patients (16.9%) in the placebo group (hazard ratio, 0.72; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.64 to 0.82; PConclusions Among a wide range of patients with chronic kidney disease who were at risk for disease progression, empagliflozin therapy led to a lower risk of progression of kidney disease or death from cardiovascular causes than placebo.

13. Duale Thrombozytenhemmung nach akutem Koronarsyndrom oder perkutaner Koronarintervention – womit und wie lange?

Subjects: Gynecology, medicine.medical_specialty, business.industry, P2Y12 Receptor Antagonists, Internal Medicine, Medicine, business
Abstract: Thrombotische Komplikationen nach Koronarinterventionen (PCI) waren insbesondere bei akutem Koronarsyndrom (ACS) haufig. Durch verbesserte Stents, Kathetertechniken und intravaskulare bildgebende Kontrollen ist die Komplikationsrate deutlich gefallen. Daher ist die unbedingt erforderliche Dauer einer dualen Antiplattchentherapie (DAPT) bestehend aus Acetylsalicylsaure (ASS) und einem P2Y12-Inhibitor standig Gegenstand wissenschaftlicher Arbeiten, um Blutungskomplikationen zu vermindern, ohne ischamische Komplikationen zuzulassen. Die DAPT-Dauer von 12 Monaten nach perkutaner Koronarintervention und nach ACS war Standard. Mittlerweile ist dieser Standard einer sehr individualisierten Therapiedauer und Medikamentenauswahl gewichen unter Berucksichtigung des Blutungs- und Ischamierisikos des einzelnen Patienten. Eine verlangerte DAPT (>12 Monate) wird derzeit nur bei geringem Blutungsrisiko nach Myokardinfarkt sowie hohem Ischamierisiko empfohlen, etwa bei koronarer 3‑Gefas-Erkrankung, risikoreicher Intervention mit unbefriedigendem Ergebnis oder fruher stattgehabter Stentthrombose. Alternativ zur DAPT kann bei multiregionaler Atherosklerose auch die Kombination aus ASS und Rivaroxaban (2-mal 2,5 mg pro Tag) zukunftige Schlaganfalle und periphere vaskulare Ereignisse verhindern sowie die Mortalitat reduzieren. Die auf 3 oder 6 Monate verkurzte DAPT wird mittlerweile fur die meisten Patienten empfohlen. Dabei zeigen neueste Daten, dass bei Patienten mit hohem Blutungsrisiko auch eine 4‑wochige DAPT ausreichen kann mit deutlich geringerer Blutungsrate und ohne vermehrte ischamische Komplikationen. Nach fruher Beendigung der DAPT scheint die Fortfuhrung der Therapie mit dem P2Y12-Inhibitor Ticagrelor in Monotherapie weiterhin Stentthrombosen und Myokardinfarkte verhindern zu konnen, ohne dass die Blutungskomplikationen denen einer DAPT vergleichbar waren.

Abstract: Background: The Global Anticoagulant Registry in the FIELD–Atrial Fibrillation (GARFIELD-AF) is a worldwide non-interventional study of stroke prevention in patients with non-valvular AF. Methods and results: 52,080 patients with newly diagnosed AF were prospectively enrolled from 2010 to 2016. 4121 (7.9%) of these patients were recruited in DACH [Germany (n = 3567), Austria (n = 465) and Switzerland (n = 89) combined], and 47,959 patients were from 32 countries in other regions worldwide (ORW). Hypertension was most prevalent in DACH and ORW (85.3% and 75.6%, respectively). Diabetes, hypercholesterolaemia, carotid occlusive disease and vascular disease were more prevalent in DACH patients vs ORW (27.6%, 49.4%, 5.8% and 29.0% vs 21.7%, 40.9%, 2.8% and 24.5%). The use of non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) increased more in DACH over time. Management of vitamin K antagonists was suboptimal in DACH and ORW (time in therapeutic range of INR ≥ 65% in 44.6% and 44.4% of patients or ≥ 70% in 36.9% and 36.0% of patients, respectively). Adjusted rates of cardiovascular mortality and MI/ACS were higher in DACH while non-haemorrhagic stroke/systemic embolism was lower after 2-year follow-up. Conclusions: Similarities and dissimilarities in AF management and clinical outcomes are seen in DACH and ORW. The increased use of NOAC was associated with a mismatch of risk-adapted anticoagulation (over-and-undertreatment) in DACH. Suboptimal control of INR requires educational activities in both regional groups. Higher rates of cardiovascular death in DACH may reflect the higher risk profile of these patients and lower rates of non-haemorrhagic stroke could be associated with increased NOAC use.

Abstract: Background: In the AUGUSTUS trial (An Open-Label, 2×2 Factorial, Randomized Controlled, Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety of Apixaban Versus Vitamin K Antagonist and Aspirin Versus Aspirin Placebo in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation and Acute Coronary Syndrome or Percutaneous Coronary Intervention), apixaban resulted in less bleeding and fewer hospitalizations than vitamin K antagonists, and aspirin caused more bleeding than placebo in patients with atrial fibrillation and acute coronary syndrome or percutaneous coronary intervention treated with a P2Y 12 inhibitor. We evaluated the risk-benefit balance of antithrombotic therapy according to kidney function. Methods: In 4456 patients, the CKD-EPI (Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration) formula was used to calculate baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). The effect of apixaban versus vitamin K antagonists and aspirin versus placebo was assessed across kidney function categories by using Cox models. The primary outcome was International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis major or clinically relevant nonmajor bleeding. Secondary outcomes included death or hospitalization and ischemic events (death, stroke, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis [definite or probable], or urgent revascularization). Creatinine clearance Results: Overall, 30%, 52%, and 19% had an eGFR of >80, >50 to 80, and 30 to 50 mL·min –1 ·1.73 m –2 , respectively. At the 6-month follow-up, a total of 543 primary outcomes of bleeding, 1125 death or hospitalizations, and 282 ischemic events occurred. Compared with vitamin K antagonists, patients assigned apixaban had lower rates for all 3 outcomes across most eGFR categories without significant interaction. The absolute risk reduction with apixaban was most pronounced in those with an eGFR of 30 to 50 mL·min –1 ·1.73 m –2 for bleeding events with rates of 13.1% versus 21.3% (hazard ratio, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.41–0.84). Patients assigned aspirin had a higher risk of bleeding in all eGFR categories with an even greater increase among those with eGFR >80 mL·min –1 ·1.73 m –2 : 16.6% versus 5.6% (hazard ratio, 3.22; 95% CI, 2.19–4.74; P for interaction=0.007). The risk of death or hospitalization and ischemic events were comparable to aspirin and placebo across eGFR categories with hazard ratios ranging from 0.97 (95% CI, 0.76–1.23) to 1.28 (95% CI, 1.02–1.59) and from 0.75 (95% CI, 0.48–1.17) to 1.34 (95% CI, 0.81–2.22), respectively. Conclusions: The safety and efficacy of apixaban was consistent irrespective of kidney function, compared with warfarin, and in accordance with the overall trial results. The risk of bleeding with aspirin was consistently higher across all kidney function categories. Registration: URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov ; Unique identifier: NCT02415400.

Abstract: Die Antikoagulation hat eine zentrale Rolle im prahospitalen Management des akuten Koronarsyndroms. Viele Patienten werden heute dauerhaft mit neuen oralen Antikoagulanzien (NOAK) behandelt und weisen ein erhohtes Blutungsrisiko durch die zusatzliche Gabe eines Gerinnungshemmers auf. Derzeit gibt es keine expliziten Empfehlungen der Fachgesellschaften zur prahospitalen antikoagulatorischen Therapie bei diesen Patienten. Daher fasst das folgende Konsensuspapier den aktuellen Wissensstand zusammen und formuliert Empfehlungen fur die prahospitale Antikoagulation bei dieser speziellen Patientengruppe. Zusammenfassend sollen Patienten, die ein akutes Koronarsyndrom mit ST-Hebungen aufweisen, unabhangig von der letzten Einnahme eines neuen oralen Antikoagulans Acetylsalicylsaure (ASS) und unfraktioniertes Heparin erhalten. Patienten mit pektanginosen Beschwerden und fehlendem Nachweis von ST-Hebungen sollen ASS appliziert bekommen, wahrend Heparin nur nach individueller Nutzen-Risiko-Abwagung indiziert ist.

Abstract: ZusammenfassungVorhofflimmern und auch Vorhofflattern sind aufgrund der mechanischen Stase im Vorhof mit einer hohen Thrombembolierate, also Schlaganfällen oder systemischen Thrombembolien, assoziiert. Die orale Antikoagulation reduziert die Rate der thrombembolischen Ereignisse um ca. ⅔, bei Einsatz von NOAC sogar noch etwas mehr. Bei älteren und alten Patienten ist das thrombembolische Risiko deutlich erhöht, insbesondere wenn Risikofaktoren wie arterielle Hypertonie, Herzinsuffizienz oder Niereninsuffizienz vorhanden sind. Ältere und alte Patienten profitieren von einer Antikoagulation aufgrund des höheren absoluten Risikos deutlich mehr als jüngere Patienten, obwohl sie auch ein erhöhtes Blutungsrisiko haben. Das Blutungsrisiko kann durch Behandlung modifizierbarer Risikofaktoren, Überprüfung bzw. Modifikation der Komedikation und patientenorientierte Dosierung der NOAC unter Berücksichtigung der Nierenfunktion deutlich reduziert werden. Dadurch können auch ältere und alte Patienten von einer effektiven Antikoagulation profitieren und Schlaganfälle verhindert werden.

Abstract: The number of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) is increasing due to the aging of the population. In addition, the number of patients with AF and an indication for oral anticoagulation (OAC) for the prevention of strokes increases, who are in need for a dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with acetyl salicylic acid (ASA) plus a P2Y12-Inhibitor because of an acute coronary syndrome and/or coronary stent implantation. These patients did receive a triple therapy (TT) for 3–12 months in the past. Triple therapy never has been studied for efficacy or safety, however, the rate of bleeding complications in comparison to OAC or DAPT is significantly higher.Registries and smaller trials showed that dual therapy with an OAC plus a single platelet inhibitor may be sufficient to prevent strokes and stent thromboses/myocardial infarctions. Four prospective randomized trials involving all four NOACs (Non-Vitamin K oral anticoagulants) approved for stroke prevention in AF have been undertaken. The NOACs plus one antiplatelet agent were tested versus vitamin K-antagonists plus DAPT. In the meantime, the trials involving rivaroxaban (PIONEER AF-PCI), dabigatran (RE-DUAL PCI), apixaban (AUGUSTUS), and edoxaban (ENTRUST-AF-PCI) have been published. The current status is that a NOAC plus a single antiplatelet agent, mostly clopidogrel, is superior to TT with respect to the bleeding complications, without any obvious and statistically significant disadvantage for stroke rates or cardiac ischemic events. The international guidelines already recommend to treat with a NOAC and one antiplatelet agent instead of TT in case the patients bleeding risk is prevailing. Thus, TT seems not to be indicated anymore for most patients with AF and ACS or PCI.

Abstract: Background The CAMI-1 study dealt with the depletion of CRP by apheresis in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). CRP, the prototype human acute phase protein, has been known as a marker of poor prognosis in AMI and independently predicts 30-day mortality. Methods 66 STEMI patients were enrolled following complete coronary revascularization (2–12 h after AMI). 32 patients received CRP apheresis, whereas 34 patients treated by standard protocols served as controls. CRP apheresis started 24±12 h and 48±12 h after onset of symptoms. A specific CRP adsorber removed ≤79% of the original CRP. 6000 ml of plasma was treated via peripheral venous access. Primary endpoint was myocardial infarction size as determined by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CMR) 3–9 days after STEMI. Results Aphereses sessions were well tolerated with no relevant side effects. The expected peak CRP level after AMI can be calculated precisely with 2–3 CRP quantifications during the first 24h after the onset of symptoms (CRP gradient). The regression coefficient for this analysis is 0.91. This mathematical step allows for the comparison of the CRP-apheresis group and the controls on the basis of their individual CRP gradients. The mean CRP gradient does not differ between both groups, whereas the mean area under the curve (AUC) of CRP within the first 72 h after AMI does. Thus, there was no bias in CRP kinetics between the two groups. The AUC of CRP is a significant indicator for infarct size (p=0.002), LVEF (p Conclusions For the first time we find an unequivocal association between myocardial infarct size and the AUC of CRP. The results show a significant beneficial effect of CRP apheresis on myocardial infarction size and wall motion.

Abstract: Die Zahl der Patienten mit Vorhofflimmern (VHF) steigt mit zunehmender Alterung der Bevolkerung. Auch die Zahl der Patienten mit VHF und Indikation fur eine orale Antikoagulation (OAK) zur Schlaganfallpravention, die aufgrund eines akuten Koronarsyndroms (ACS) oder einer perkutanen Koronarintervention (PCI) eine duale antithrombozytare Therapie (DAPT) mit Acetylsalicylsaure (ASS) und einem P2Y12-Inhibitor benotigen, steigt. Diese Patienten erhielten dann fur 3 bis 12 Monate eine Triple-Therapie (TT). Diese TT ist nie hinsichtlich ihrer Wirksamkeit uberpruft worden, allerdings ist die Blutungskomplikationsrate gegenuber einer einfachen OAK bzw. einer DAPT signifikant erhoht. Register und kleinere Studien zeigen, dass eine Zweifachtherapie mit OAK und einem Thrombozyteninhibitor ausreichend sein kann, um Schlaganfalle und Stentthrombosen/Myokardinfarkte zu verhindern. Diese Fragestellung wurde in verschiedenen prospektiven und randomisierten Studien mit den 4 fur die Schlaganfallpravention bei VHF zugelassenen NOAK (Nicht-Vitamin-K-abhangige orale Antikoagulanzien) untersucht. Dabei wurden die NOAK gegenuber einer Therapie mit Vitamin-K-Antagonisten (VKA) verglichen, wobei auf eine DAPT verzichtet und eine singulare Thrombozytenhemmertherapie getestet wurde. Die Untersuchungen mit Rivaroxaban (PIONEER-AF-PCI) und Dabigatran (RE-DUAL-PCI) sind publiziert, die Ergebnisse mit Apixaban (AUGUSTUS) und Edoxaban (ENTRUST-AF-PCI) werden demnachst erwartet. Bisher konnte nachgewiesen werden, dass NOAK plus ein Thrombozytenhemmer, meistens Clopidogrel, einer TT mit VKA hinsichtlich der Blutungen uberlegen war, ohne beobachtete Zunahme der Schlaganfalle und/oder kardialen Ischamien. Die internationalen Leitlinien erlauben, bereits auf eine TT zu verzichten, wenn das Blutungsrisiko im Vordergrund steht. Dafur sollten ein NOAK und eine singulare Thrombozytenhemmertherapie eingesetzt werden. Daher scheint die TT fur die allermeisten Patienten mit VHF und nach ACS/perkutaner Koronarintervention (PCI) nicht mehr indiziert zu sein.

Abstract: Introduction A lack of effective coordination and communication between ambulatory care physicians and hospitals, including the lack of follow-up care, poses a challenge to the recovery process of patients suffering from cardiac disease, often resulting in rehospitalisation and adverse outcomes. This innovative care programme aims to bridge the gap between ambulatory and hospital care. A key element of this programme is specifically trained care managers (Cardiolotse) who provide post-discharge support, access to additional resources and help the patient to navigate successfully through the healthcare system. Material and methods The study is set up as a prospective, randomised, controlled trial. Allocation to intervention group (support of care managers) and control group (usual care) follows an allocation ratio of 1:1 using block randomisation. Sample size calculations resulted in 1454patients per group after adjusting for potential non-compliance. All participants are surveyed at discharge, after 3 and 12 months. The primary outcome of the study is the 12-month rehospitalisation rate. Secondary outcomes include differences in length of hospital stay, mortality, quality-adjusted life years, costs and patient satisfaction. Statistical analysis and economic evaluation will be complemented by a process evaluation. Discussion The new healthcare programme is designed to support patients when leaving hospital with cardiac conditions by easing the transition between sectors through access to Cardiolotses and individualised care plans. We hypothesise that the programme reduces rehospitalisation and improves clinically relevant patient outcomes. Trial registration German Clinical Trial Register, DRKS00020424.

Methods 66 STEMI patients were enrolled in the study following complete coronary revascularization (2–12 h after the onset of symptoms). 32 patients received CRP apheresis, whereas 34 patients treated by standard protocols served as controls. CRP apheresis started 24±12 h and 48±12 h after onset of symptoms. In case of a rapid increase in CRP plasma levels following the 2nd session, a 3rd session was carried out another 24 h later. A specific CRP adsorber removed up to 79% of the original CRP. In each apheresis session, 6000 ml of plasma was treated via peripheral venous access. Primary study endpoint was myocardial infarction size as determined by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CMR) 2–9 days after STEMI. Results Aphereses sessions were well tolerated with no relevant side effects. Peak CRP plasma levels after STEMI ranged from 9 to 279 mg/l. The expected peak CRP level after AMI can be calculated precisely with 2–3 CRP quantifications during the first 24 h after the onset of symptoms. The regression coefficient for this analysis is 0.91. This mathematical step allows for the comparison of the CRP-apheresis group and the controls on the basis of their individual CRP peak levels. The statistical evaluation shows that the CRP concentration is significantly associated with the damage (infarct size, LVEF, circumferential strain) in the controls. This association was lost in the aphereses patients: they performed significantly better at all endpoints (infarct size, LVEF, circumferential strain) than the controls. The CRP apheresis significantly reduced myocardial damage. To our surprise, two apheresis patients had an infarct size of 0%. Conclusions For the first time we find an unequivocal association between myocardial infarct size and the CRP concentration. This is in some respects a surprise, since the basic assumption in AMI is that the vascular occlusion leads to primary damage and the reperfusion to secondary damage, which would not have led one to expect such a clear dose-response relationship as that observed here. In addition, our results show a significant beneficial effect of CRP apheresis on myocardial infarction size and wall motion. Selective CRP apheresis is now being further evaluated as a therapeutic approach in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction in a registry (CAMI registry).

Abstract: Background: C-reactive protein (CRP) is a well-known marker of inflammation. It is less known that CRP mediates tissue damage in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) thus potentially worsening prognosis. A newly developed specific CRP adsorber allows efficient lowering of CRP levels and may improve survival.Objectives: Aim of this multi-center, controlled, non-randomized first-in-man CRP apheresis in Acute Myocardial Infarction study (CAMI-1) was to investigate the relationship between CRP levels (CRP gradient), myocardial infarct size and function as well as safety and efficacy of CRP apheresis in the setting of acute ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) in humans.Methods: Eighty-three patients (45 apheresis, 38 controls) were recruited. CRP apheresis was performed 24 ± 12, 48 ± 12, and optionally 72 ± 12 h after onset of symptoms. First aphereses were performed at a median CRP concentration of 23.0 mg/L (range 9–279). In each apheresis session, 5,900 ± 400 mL plasma was processed via peripheral venous access. Primary study endpoint was a reduction in myocardial infarct size after STEMI as determined by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR).Results: In controls, the CRP concentration significantly correlated with infarct size (p = 0.002) and decreased myocardial function (p ≤ 0.001). The CRP concentration in apheresis patients did not correlate with infarct size (p = 0.66) or left ventricular (LV) function (p = 0.79) and global strains and therefore significantly differed from controls (p = 0.03 and p = 0.002). Three major adverse cardiac events occurred in the control group after 12 months, none occurred in the apheresis group. Mean CRP depletion achieved over all apheresis procedures was 53.0 ± 15.1%. Apheresis sessions were well-tolerated. Reduced infarct size in the apheresis group compared to the control group (primary endpoint) was not achieved according to the original statistical analysis plan. Taking into account the individual CRP levels, however, revealed significant results. Modifications of the analysis plan were introduced in order to recruit a sufficient number of patients.Conclusions: This pilot study in humans reveals a correlation between CRP concentration and myocardial infarct size. CRP concentrations in STEMI can effectively be reduced by CRP apheresis without relevant side effects. CRP apheresis has the potential to interfere with deleterious aspects of STEMI. By lowering CRP levels, it resulted in the loss of correlation of CRP concentrations with myocardial infarct sizes as well as LV function. These results encourage a larger, randomized clinical trial.Clinical Trial Registration:https://www.drks.de/drks_web/navigate.do?navigationId=trial.HTML&TRIAL_ID=DRKS00008988, DRKS00008988.

Abstract: Background Inflammation is increasingly recognized as an important pathogenic feature in cardiovascular disease. In patients with STEMI, C-reactive protein (CRP), the prototype human acute phase protein, is a marker of poor prognosis and independently predicts 30-day mortality. In STEMI, CRP may indeed be intimately involved in myocardial damage by activating the complement system in the ischemic tissue. In animal experiments, CRP removal after STEMI reduces infarct size and results in a significantly better left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Recently, in the multi-center matched-control pilot study on CRP apheresis in Acute Myocardial Infarction (CAMI1), a newly designed CRP adsorber has been demonstrated to efficiently and selectively lower CRP plasma levels in humans. Here, we present preliminary data of the ongoing trial. Methods Up to the present day, 67 STEMI patients were enrolled in the study following complete coronary revascularization. 32 patients received CRP apheresis, whereas 35 patients treated by standard protocols served as controls. CRP apheresis started 24±12 h and 48±12 h after onset of symptoms. In case of a rapid increase in CRP plasma levels following the 2nd session, a 3rd session was carried out another 24 h later. In each apheresis session, 6000 ml plasma was treated via peripheral venous access. Primary study endpoint was myocardial infarction size as determined by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) 5±3 days after STEMI. Results Apheresis sessions were well tolerated with no relevant side effects. Peak CRP plasma levels after STEMI ranged from 12 mg/l to 279 mg/l. The peak CRP level after AMI can be calculated precisely with at 2–3 CRP quantifications during the first 24 h after the onset of symptoms. The regression coefficient for this analysis is 0.95. This mathematical step allows for the comparison of the CRP-apheresis group and the controls on the basis of their individual CRP peak levels. The statistical evaluation shows that the apheresis patients no longer correlate with the control with regard to the endpoints infarct size, LVEF, longitudinal strain and circumferential strain. They perform significantly better at all endpoints. The CRP apheresis reduced the development of myocardial damage. Conclusions Here, an unequivocal association between infarct size and CRP is demonstrated for the first time. CRP apheresis following STEMI is feasible and safe. Our preliminary results in a small cohort show a significant beneficial effect of CRP apheresis on myocardial infarction size and wall motion. Selective CRP apheresis may emerge as a new therapeutic approach in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction.

Abstract: Background: Since 2008, the German Cardiac Society certified 256 Chest Pain Units (CPUs). Little is known about adherence to recommended performance measures in patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS) presenting to CPUs. We investigated guideline-adherence regarding critical time intervals and selected performance measures in German Chest Pain Units. Methods: From 2008 to 2014, 23,804 consecutive patients with suspected ACS were prospectively enrolled in the Chest Pain Unit registry of the German Cardiac Society. Results: Median time from symptom onset to first medical contact was 2 h in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and 4 h in patients with unstable angina and non-STEMI (NSTEMI). In patients with STEMI, median time from hospital admission to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was 40 min and median time from first medical contact to PCI was 1 h 35 min. Primary PCI was performed in 94.7% of patients with STEMI, 70.0% of patients with NSTEMI and 37.4% of patients with unstable angina. PCI was performed during the first 24 h in 79.5% of patients with NSTEMI and the first 72 h in 89.0% of patients with unstable angina. Electrocardiograms were performed in 99.5% after a median of 6 min after admission and obtained within 10 min in 71%. Interestingly, 56.1% of patients were found to have non-ACS diagnoses, underlining the importance of access to additional diagnostic modalities including echocardiography, stress testing or computed tomography. Conclusions: Guideline-adherence regarding critical time intervals and primary PCI rates is good in German Chest Pain Units. More than half of patients admitted with suspected ACS had non-ACS diagnoses. Improvements in pre-hospital time delays through public awareness programmes are warranted.

Abstract: Background and Purpose Patients with prior stroke are at greater risk for recurrent cardiovascular events post-acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and may have a different risk/benefit profile with antithrombotic therapy than patients without prior stroke. Methods We studied 7391 patients with ACS from APPRAISE-2, stratified by the presence or absence of prior stroke. Baseline characteristics and outcomes of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction (MI), or stroke were compared between groups. Interactions between prior stroke, treatment assignment (apixaban vs placebo), and outcomes were tested before and after multivariable adjustment with Cox proportional hazards models. Results A total of 902 patients (12%) had prior stroke. Those with prior stroke were older (69 vs 67 years), had more hypertension (91% vs 77%), peripheral vascular disease (22% vs18%), and impaired renal function (38% vs 30%) but less diabetes (44% vs 48%) than those without prior stroke. Patients with prior stroke vs no prior stroke had higher unadjusted rates of cardiovascular death (4.8% vs 4.0%), MI (11.2% vs 7.1%), and ischemic stroke (3.2% vs 0.9%). Patients with prior stroke assigned to apixaban had similar rates of the composite of cardiovascular death, MI, or stroke compared with those assigned to placebo (HR 1.39; 95% CI 0.92–2.08). Patients without prior stroke assigned to apixaban had similar rates of cardiovascular death, MI, or ischemic stroke compared with those assigned to placebo (HR 0.87; 95% CI 0.73–1.04; P-interaction = .041). Median follow-up was 240 days. Conclusions Patients with prior stroke are at higher risk for recurrent cardiovascular events post-ACS and had a differential risk/benefit profile with oral anticoagulation.

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Patients with peripheral artery disease have an increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Antiplatelet agents are widely used to reduce these complications.METHODS: This was a multicentre, double-blind, randomised placebo-controlled trial for which patients were recruited at 602 hospitals, clinics, or community practices from 33 countries across six continents. Eligible patients had a history of peripheral artery disease of the lower extremities (previous peripheral bypass surgery or angioplasty, limb or foot amputation, intermittent claudication with objective evidence of peripheral artery disease), of the carotid arteries (previous carotid artery revascularisation or asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis of at least 50%), or coronary artery disease with an ankle-brachial index of less than 0·90. After a 30-day run-in period, patients were randomly assigned (1:1:1) to receive oral rivaroxaban (2·5 mg twice a day) plus aspirin (100 mg once a day), rivaroxaban twice a day (5 mg with aspirin placebo once a day), or to aspirin once a day (100 mg and rivaroxaban placebo twice a day). Randomisation was computer generated. Each treatment group was double dummy, and the patient, investigators, and central study staff were masked to treatment allocation. The primary outcome was cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction or stroke; the primary peripheral artery disease outcome was major adverse limb events including major amputation. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT01776424, and is closed to new participants.FINDINGS: Between March 12, 2013, and May 10, 2016, we enrolled 7470 patients with peripheral artery disease from 558 centres. The combination of rivaroxaban plus aspirin compared with aspirin alone reduced the composite endpoint of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or stroke (126 [5%] of 2492 vs 174 [7%] of 2504; hazard ratio [HR] 0·72, 95% CI 0·57-0·90, p=0·0047), and major adverse limb events including major amputation (32 [1%] vs 60 [2%]; HR 0·54 95% CI 0·35-0·82, p=0·0037). Rivaroxaban 5 mg twice a day compared with aspirin alone did not significantly reduce the composite endpoint (149 [6%] of 2474 vs 174 [7%] of 2504; HR 0·86, 95% CI 0·69-1·08, p=0·19), but reduced major adverse limb events including major amputation (40 [2%] vs 60 [2%]; HR 0·67, 95% CI 0·45-1·00, p=0·05). The median duration of treatment was 21 months. The use of the rivaroxaban plus aspirin combination increased major bleeding compared with the aspirin alone group (77 [3%] of 2492 vs 48 [2%] of 2504; HR 1·61, 95% CI 1·12-2·31, p=0·0089), which was mainly gastrointestinal. Similarly, major bleeding occurred in 79 (3%) of 2474 patients with rivaroxaban 5 mg, and in 48 (2%) of 2504 in the aspirin alone group (HR 1·68, 95% CI 1·17-2·40; p=0·0043).INTERPRETATION: Low-dose rivaroxaban taken twice a day plus aspirin once a day reduced major adverse cardiovascular and limb events when compared with aspirin alone. Although major bleeding was increased, fatal or critical organ bleeding was not. This combination therapy represents an important advance in the management of patients with peripheral artery disease. Rivaroxaban alone did not significantly reduce major adverse cardiovascular events compared with asprin alone, but reduced major adverse limb events and increased major bleeding.FUNDING: Bayer AG.

Abstract: Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text., Background: Thrombotic events are reduced with cangrelor, an intravenous P2Y12 inhibitor. We sought to characterize the timing, number, and type of early events (within 2 hours of randomization) in CHAMPION PHOENIX (A Clinical Trial Comparing Cangrelor to Clopidogrel Standard of Care Therapy in Subjects Who Require Percutaneous Coronary Intervention). Methods: CHAMPION PHOENIX was a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that randomized patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention to cangrelor or clopidogrel. For this analysis, we evaluated the efficacy of cangrelor in the first 2 hours postrandomization with regards to the primary end point (death, myocardial infarction, ischemia-driven revascularization, or stent thrombosis). Sensitivity analyses were performed evaluating a secondary, post hoc end point (death, Society of Coronary Angiography and Intervention myocardial infarction, ischemia-driven revascularization, or Academic Research Consortium definite stent thrombosis). Results: The majority of events (63%) that occurred in the trial occurred within 2 hours of randomization. The most common early event was myocardial infarction; next were stent thrombosis, ischemia driven revascularization, and death. In the first 2 hours after randomization, cangrelor significantly decreased the primary composite end point compared with clopidogrel (4.1% versus 5.4%; hazard ratio, 0.76 [95% CI, 0.64–0.90], P=0.002). Similar findings were seen for the composite end point of death, Society of Coronary Angiography and Intervention myocardial infarction, ischemia-driven revascularization, or Academic Research Consortium stent thrombosis at 2 hours (0.9% versus 1.6%; hazard ratio, 0.57 [95% CI, 0.40–0.80], P=0.001). Between 2 and 48 hours, there was no difference in the primary composite end point (0.6% versus 0.5%; odds ratio, 1.17 [95% CI, 0.71–1.93]; P=0.53). Early (≤2 hours of randomization) GUSTO (Global Use of Strategies to Open Occluded Coronary Arteries) moderate or severe bleeding events were infrequent, and there was no significant difference with cangrelor compared with clopidogrel (0.2% [n=10] versus 0.1% [n=4]; adjusted odds ratio, 1.41 [95% CI, 0.37–5.40]; P=0.62). Conclusions: The reductions in ischemic events and overall efficacy seen with cangrelor in CHAMPION PHOENIX occurred early and during the period of time in which patients were being actively treated with cangrelor. These findings provide evidence that supports the importance of potent platelet inhibition during percutaneous coronary intervention.

Abstract: Background Cangrelor, an intravenous, reversible P2Y12 antagonist, is approved for use in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Objectives This study sought to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cangrelor compared with clopidogrel in subgroups that did and did not receive glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors (GPIs). Methods This pooled, patient-level analysis of the 3 CHAMPION (Cangrelor versus Standard Therapy to Achieve Optimal Management of Platelet Inhibition) trials analyzed all randomized patients who underwent PCI and received the study drug (n = 24,902). Only bailout/rescue GPI use was permitted, except in CHAMPION PCI, in which routine or bailout/rescue GPI use was at the site investigator’s discretion. The primary efficacy endpoint was the composite of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, ischemia-driven revascularization, or stent thrombosis at 48 h after randomization. Results Overall, 3,173 patients (12.7%) received a GPI, most commonly eptifibatide (69.4%). Despite variation in indications for GPIs, baseline characteristics were well balanced between the cangrelor and clopidogrel arms in subsets receiving and not receiving GPIs. Rates of the primary composite endpoint were lower with cangrelor compared with clopidogrel in patients who did (4.9% vs. 6.5%; odds ratio [OR]: 0.74; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.55 to 1.01) or did not receive a GPI (3.6% vs. 4.4%; OR: 0.82; 95% CI: 0.72 to 0.94; Pint = 0.55). Cangrelor did not increase the primary safety endpoint, GUSTO-defined severe/life-threatening bleeding, in patients who did (0.4% vs. 0.5%; OR: 0.71; 95% CI: 0.25 to 1.99) or did not receive GPIs (0.2% vs. 0.1%; OR: 1.56; 95% CI: 0.80 to 3.04; Pint = 0.21). GPI use was associated with increased risk of bleeding in both treatment arms. Conclusions Cangrelor’s efficacy in reducing ischemic complications in patients undergoing PCI was maintained irrespective of GPI administration. GPI use was associated with substantially higher bleeding rates, regardless of the randomization to cangrelor or clopidogrel.

Abstract: The aim of this study was to determine the impact of age on procedural and clinical outcomes in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS).The use of early revascularization therapy with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been shown to improve outcome in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated by CS.Data from consecutive patients with AMI and CS treated with PCI enrolled into the prospective ALKK (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Leitende Kardiologische Krankenhausärzte) PCI registry were centrally collected and analyzed. Patients were divided into 4 groups according to their age (65, 65 to 74, 75 to 84, and85 years). Patients' characteristics, procedural features, antithrombotic therapies, and in-hospital complications were compared among the 4 groups.Between 2010 and 2015, a total of 2,323 consecutive patients with AMI and CS were treated by PCI in 51 hospitals. TIMI (Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction) flow grade 3 patency after PCI decreased with increasing age from 84% to 78%, while in-hospital mortality increased from 32% to 56%. Bleeding rates were low (2.0% to 2.3%) and not different among age groups. In the multivariate analysis, higher age, TIMI flow grade 3 after PCI, 3-vessel disease, and left main PCI were independent predictors of mortality.PCI in patients with AMI and CS is associated with a high procedural success rate and a low bleeding rate, even in very elderly patients, while mortality increases with increasing age. Because mortality in elderly patients with CS without revascularization therapy is very high, it seems justified to perform PCI in selected patients to reduce mortality.

Abstract: Background Parenteral anticoagulants and vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) have constituted the cornerstone of venous thromboembolism (VTE) treatment. Meanwhile, direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) provide physicians with an alternative. The Global Anticoagulant Registry in the FIELD (GARFIELD)-VTE observes real-world treatment practices. Objectives Describe initial anticoagulation (AC) treatment patterns in VTE patients who received parenteral AC, VKAs, and/or DOACs within ±30 days of diagnosis. Methods VTE patients were categorized into parenteral AC only, parenteral AC with transition to VKA, VKA only, parenteral AC with transition to DOAC, and DOAC only. Results A total of 9647 patients were initiated on AC treatment alone. 4781 (49.6%) patients received DOACs ± parenteral ACs; 3187 (33.0%), VKA ± parenteral ACs; and 1679 (17.4%) parenteral ACs alone. Rivaroxaban was the most frequently used DOAC (79.4%). DOACs were more frequently used in North America/Australia (58.1%), Europe (52.2%), and Asia (47.6%) than in Latin America (29.7%) and the Middle East/South Africa (32.5%). In patients with suspected VTE, most received parenteral AC monotherapy (67.7%). Patients with deep vein thrombosis were more likely to receive DOACs alone than those with pulmonary embolism with or without deep vein thrombosis (36.2% vs 25.9%). Active cancer patients received parenteral AC alone (58.9%), with 25.5% receiving DOAC ± parenteral AC and 12.8% parenteral AC and VKA. A total of 46.5% of pregnant patients received parenteral AC monotherapy, 34.0% were treated with VKA ± parenteral AC, and 19.5% received a DOAC (± parenteral AC). Conclusion AC treatment patterns vary by patient population, geographic region and site of VTE. Guidelines for AC therapy are not always adhered to.

Methods: Using a 2×2 factorial design, we compared apixaban with vitamin K antagonists and aspirin with placebo in patients with atrial fibrillation who had ACS or were undergoing PCI and were receiving a P2Y 12 inhibitor. We explored bleeding, death and hospitalization, as well as death and ischemic events, by antithrombotic strategy in 3 prespecified subgroups: patients with ACS treated medically, patients with ACS treated with PCI, and those undergoing elective PCI. Results: Of 4614 patients enrolled, 1097 (23.9%) had ACS treated medically, 1714 (37.3%) had ACS treated with PCI, and 1784 (38.8%) had elective PCI. Apixaban compared with vitamin K antagonist reduced International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis major or clinically relevant nonmajor bleeding in patients with ACS treated medically (hazard ratio [HR], 0.44 [95% CI, 0.28–0.68]), patients with ACS treated with PCI (HR, 0.68 [95% CI, 0.52–0.89]), and patients undergoing elective PCI (HR, 0.82 [95% CI, 0.64–1.04]; P interaction =0.052) and reduced death or hospitalization in the ACS treated medically (HR, 0.71 [95% CI, 0.54–0.92]), ACS treated with PCI (HR, 0.88 [95% CI, 0.74–1.06]), and elective PCI (HR, 0.87 [95% CI, 0.72–1.04]; P interaction =0.345) groups. Compared with vitamin K antagonists, apixaban resulted in a similar effect on death and ischemic events in the ACS treated medically, ACS treated with PCI, and elective PCI groups ( P interaction =0.356). Aspirin had a higher rate of bleeding than did placebo in patients with ACS treated medically (HR, 1.49 [95% CI, 0.98–2.26]), those with ACS treated with PCI (HR, 2.02 [95% CI, 1.53–2.67]), and those undergoing elective PCI (HR, 1.91 [95% CI, 1.48–2.47]; P interaction =0.479). For the same comparison, there was no difference in outcomes among the 3 groups for the composite of death or hospitalization ( P interaction =0.787) and death and ischemic events ( P interaction =0.710). Conclusions: An antithrombotic regimen consisting of apixaban and a P2Y 12 inhibitor without aspirin provides superior safety and similar efficacy in patients with atrial fibrillation who have ACS, whether managed medically or with PCI, and those undergoing elective PCI compared with regimens that include vitamin K antagonists, aspirin, or both.

Abstract: Contains fulltext : 215333.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) BACKGROUND: Patients with stable coronary artery disease and diabetes with previous percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), particularly those with previous stenting, are at high risk of ischaemic events. These patients are generally treated with aspirin. In this trial, we aimed to investigate if these patients would benefit from treatment with aspirin plus ticagrelor. METHODS: The Effect of Ticagrelor on Health Outcomes in diabEtes Mellitus patients Intervention Study (THEMIS) was a phase 3 randomised, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial, done in 1315 sites in 42 countries. Patients were eligible if 50 years or older, with type 2 diabetes, receiving anti-hyperglycaemic drugs for at least 6 months, with stable coronary artery disease, and one of three other mutually non-exclusive criteria: a history of previous PCI or of coronary artery bypass grafting, or documentation of angiographic stenosis of 50% or more in at least one coronary artery. Eligible patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to either ticagrelor or placebo, by use of an interactive voice-response or web-response system. The THEMIS-PCI trial comprised a prespecified subgroup of patients with previous PCI. The primary efficacy outcome was a composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or stroke (measured in the intention-to-treat population). FINDINGS: Between Feb 17, 2014, and May 24, 2016, 11 154 patients (58% of the overall THEMIS trial) with a history of previous PCI were enrolled in the THEMIS-PCI trial. Median follow-up was 3.3 years (IQR 2.8-3.8). In the previous PCI group, fewer patients receiving ticagrelor had a primary efficacy outcome event than in the placebo group (404 [7.3%] of 5558 vs 480 [8.6%] of 5596; HR 0.85 [95% CI 0.74-0.97], p=0.013). The same effect was not observed in patients without PCI (p=0.76, pinteraction=0.16). The proportion of patients with cardiovascular death was similar in both treatment groups (174 [3.1%] with ticagrelor vs 183 (3.3%) with placebo; HR 0.96 [95% CI 0.78-1.18], p=0.68), as well as all-cause death (282 [5.1%] vs 323 [5.8%]; 0.88 [0.75-1.03], p=0.11). TIMI major bleeding occurred in 111 (2.0%) of 5536 patients receiving ticagrelor and 62 (1.1%) of 5564 patients receiving placebo (HR 2.03 [95% CI 1.48-2.76], p

Abstract: With the introduction of edoxaban last year in Germany, four nonvitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants are now available for stroke prevention in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. These novel oral anticoagulants (NOAC) represent an attractive new option compared to vitamin K antagonists (e.g., warfarin or phenprocoumon) due to simple use and fewer interactions with other drugs or food. Therefore, no INR monitoring and dosage adjustments are required for NOAC. The compelling clinical advantage of NOAC is the dramatic risk reduction of hemorhagic stroke and intracranial bleeding compared to current standard. In addition, total mortality is significantly reduced by 10 %. These effects are demonstrated for all four NOAC (dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban and edoxaban). Therefore, current national and international guidelines recommend NOAC as the preferred option or at least as an attractive alternative compared to the former standard of vitamin K antagonists. The economic impact and reimbursement by Statutory Health Insurance (GKV) is of major importance for treatment in an outpatient setting. For apixaban and edoxaban, an additional benefit was granted by the institution of G‑BA and IQWiG in this clinical setting, whereas dabigatran and rivaroxaban were not assessed due to market entrance prior to 2011 before the AMNOG procedure was initiated. The members of this consensus paper recommend NOAC as the preferred option for patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation who are currently not treated with anticoagulant drugs in spite of clear indication for anticoagulation. For new patients with nonvalvular fibrillation, it should be decided on an individual basis which treatment option is adequate for the patient with their respective comorbidities.

Abstract: Objectives This study sought to compare rates of stent thrombosis and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) (composite of death, myocardial infarction, or stroke) after coronary stenting with drug-eluting stents (DES) versus bare-metal stents (BMS) in patients who participated in the DAPT (Dual Antiplatelet Therapy) study, an international multicenter randomized trial comparing 30 versus 12 months of dual antiplatelet therapy in subjects undergoing coronary stenting with either DES or BMS. Background Despite antirestenotic efficacy of coronary DES compared with BMS, the relative risk of stent thrombosis and adverse cardiovascular events is unclear. Many clinicians perceive BMS to be associated with fewer adverse ischemic events and to require shorter-duration dual antiplatelet therapy than DES. Methods Prospective propensity-matched analysis of subjects enrolled into a randomized trial of dual antiplatelet therapy duration was performed. DES- and BMS-treated subjects were propensity-score matched in a many-to-one fashion. The study design was observational for all subjects 0 to 12 months following stenting. A subset of eligible subjects without major ischemic or bleeding events were randomized at 12 months to continued thienopyridine versus placebo; all subjects were followed through 33 months. Results Among 10,026 propensity-matched subjects, DES-treated subjects (n = 8,308) had a lower rate of stent thrombosis through 33 months compared with BMS-treated subjects (n = 1,718, 1.7% vs. 2.6%; weighted risk difference −1.1%, p = 0.01) and a noninferior rate of MACCE (11.4% vs. 13.2%, respectively, weighted risk difference −1.8%, p = 0.053, noninferiority p Conclusions DES-treated subjects have long-term rates of stent thrombosis that are lower than BMS-treated subjects.

Abstract: Background The use of aspirin in the primary prevention of cardiovascular events remains controversial. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of aspirin versus placebo in patients with a moderate estimated risk of a first cardiovascular event. Methods ARRIVE is a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicentre study done in seven countries. Eligible patients were aged 55 years (men) or 60 years (women) and older and had an average cardiovascular risk, deemed to be moderate on the basis of the number of specific risk factors. We excluded patients at high risk of gastrointestinal bleeding or other bleeding, or diabetes. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) with a computer-generated randomisation code to receive enteric-coated aspirin tablets (100 mg) or placebo tablets, once daily. Patients, investigators, and others involved in treatment or data analysis were masked to treatment allocation. The primary efficacy endpoint was a composite outcome of time to first occurrence of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, stroke, or transient ischaemic attack. Safety endpoints were haemorrhagic events and incidence of other adverse events, and were analysed in the intention-to-treat population. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT00501059. Findings Between July 5, 2007, and Nov 15, 2016, 12 546 patients were enrolled and randomly assigned to receive aspirin (n=6270) or placebo (n=6276) at 501 study sites. Median follow-up was 60 months. In the intention-to-treat analysis, the primary endpoint occurred in 269 (4·29%) patients in the aspirin group versus 281 (4·48%) patients in the placebo group (hazard ratio [HR] 0·96; 95% CI 0·81–1·13; p=0·6038). Gastrointestinal bleeding events (mostly mild) occurred in 61 (0·97%) patients in the aspirin group versus 29 (0·46%) in the placebo group (HR 2·11; 95% CI 1·36–3·28; p=0·0007). The overall incidence rate of serious adverse events was similar in both treatment groups (n=1266 [20·19%] in the aspirin group vs n=1311 [20·89%] in the placebo group. The overall incidence of adverse events was similar in both treatment groups (n=5142 [82·01%] vs n=5129 [81·72%] in the placebo group). The overall incidence of treatment-related adverse events was low (n=1050 [16·75%] vs n=850 [13·54%] in the placebo group; pInterpretation The event rate was much lower than expected, which is probably reflective of contemporary risk management strategies, making the study more representative of a low-risk population. The role of aspirin in primary prevention among patients at moderate risk could therefore not be addressed. Nonetheless, the findings with respect to aspirin's effects are consistent with those observed in the previously published low-risk primary prevention studies.
