Variation in Health Status With Invasive vs Conservative Management of Chronic Coronary Disease. J Am Coll Cardiol 2024; 83:1353-1366. [PMID: 38599711 DOI: 10.1016/j.jacc.2024.02.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2023] [Revised: 02/08/2024] [Accepted: 02/14/2024] [Indexed: 04/12/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The ISCHEMIA trial found that patients with chronic coronary disease randomized to invasive strategy had better health status than those randomized to conservative strategy. It is unclear how best to translate these population-level results to individual patients. OBJECTIVES The authors sought to identify patient characteristics associated with health status from invasive and conservative strategies, and develop a prediction algorithm for shared decision-making. METHODS One-year disease-specific health status was assessed in ISCHEMIA with the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) Summary Score (SAQ SS) and Angina Frequency, Physical Limitations (PL), and Quality of Life (QL) domains (range 0-100, higher = less angina/better health status). RESULTS Among 4,617 patients from 320 sites in 37 countries, mean SAQ SS was 74.1 ± 18.9 at baseline and 85.7 ± 15.6 at 1 year. Lower baseline SAQ SS and younger age were associated with better 1-year health status with invasive strategy (P interaction = 0.009 and P interaction = 0.004, respectively). For the individual domains, there were significant treatment interactions for baseline SAQ score (Angina Frequency, PL), age (PL, QL), anterior ischemia (PL), and number of baseline antianginal medications (QL), with more benefit of invasive in patients with worse baseline health status, younger age, anterior ischemia, and on more antianginal medications. Parsimonious prediction models were developed for 1-year SAQ domains with invasive or conservative strategies to support shared decision-making. CONCLUSIONS In the management of chronic coronary disease, individual patient characteristics are associated with 1-year health status, with younger age and poorer angina-related health status showing greater benefit from invasive management. This prediction algorithm can support the translation of the ISCHEMIA trial results to individual patients.

Abstract
Chronic total occlusions (CTOs) of coronary arteries can be found in the context of chronic or acute coronary syndromes; sometimes they are an incidental finding in those apparently healthy individuals undergoing imaging for preoperative risk assessment. Recently, the invasive management of CTOs has made impressive progress due to sophisticated preinterventional assessment, including advanced non-invasive imaging, the availability of novel and dedicated tools for CTO percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and experienced interventionalists working in specialised centres. Thus, it is crucial that referring physicians who see patients with CTO be aware of recent developments and of the initial evaluation requirements for such patients. Besides a careful history and clinical examination, electrocardiograms, exercise tests, and non-invasive imaging modalities are important for selecting the patients most suitable for CTO PCI, while others may be referred to coronary artery bypass graft or optimal medical therapy only. While CTO PCI improves angina and reduces the use of antianginal drugs in patients with symptoms and proven ischaemia, hibernation and/or wall motion abnormalities at baseline or during stress, the effect of CTO PCI on major cardiovascular events is still controversial. This clinical consensus statement specifically focuses on referring physicians, providing a comprehensive algorithm for the preinterventional evaluation of patients with CTO and the current evidence for the clinical effectiveness of the procedure. The proposed care track has been developed by members and with the support of the European Association of Percutaneous Cardiovascular Interventions (EAPCI), the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI), and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Working Group on Cardiovascular Surgery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The Berlin Long-term Observation of Vascular Events is a prospective cohort study that aims to improve prediction and disease-overarching mechanistic understanding of cardiovascular (CV) disease progression by comprehensively investigating a high-risk patient population with different organ manifestations. METHODS AND ANALYSIS A total of 8000 adult patients will be recruited who have either suffered an acute CV event (CVE) requiring hospitalisation or who have not experienced a recent acute CVE but are at high CV risk. An initial study examination is performed during the acute treatment phase of the index CVE or after inclusion into the chronic high risk arm. Deep phenotyping is then performed after ~90 days and includes assessments of the patient's medical history, health status and behaviour, cardiovascular, nutritional, metabolic, and anthropometric parameters, and patient-related outcome measures. Biospecimens are collected for analyses including 'OMICs' technologies (e.g., genomics, metabolomics, proteomics). Subcohorts undergo MRI of the brain, heart, lung and kidney, as well as more comprehensive metabolic, neurological and CV examinations. All participants are followed up for up to 10 years to assess clinical outcomes, primarily major adverse CVEs and patient-reported (value-based) outcomes. State-of-the-art clinical research methods, as well as emerging techniques from systems medicine and artificial intelligence, will be used to identify associations between patient characteristics, longitudinal changes and outcomes. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The study was approved by the Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin ethics committee (EA1/066/17). The results of the study will be disseminated through international peer-reviewed publications and congress presentations. STUDY REGISTRATION First study phase: Approved WHO primary register: German Clinical Trials Register: https://drks.de/search/de/trial/DRKS00016852; WHO International Clinical Registry Platform: http://apps.who.int/trialsearch/Trial2.aspx?TrialID=DRKS00016852.

Impact of residual angina on long-term clinical outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass graft for complex coronary artery disease. EUROPEAN HEART JOURNAL. QUALITY OF CARE & CLINICAL OUTCOMES 2023; 9:490-501. [PMID: 36001991 PMCID: PMC10405129 DOI: 10.1093/ehjqcco/qcac052] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2022] [Revised: 08/01/2022] [Accepted: 08/25/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
AIMS The aim of this study was to investigate the impact on 10-year survival of patient-reported anginal status at 1 year following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) in patients with left main coronary artery disease (LMCAD) and/or three-vessel CAD (3VD). METHODS AND RESULTS In this post hoc analysis of the randomized SYNTAX Extended Survival study, patients were classified as having residual angina (RA) if their self-reported Seattle Angina Questionnaire angina frequency (SAQ-AF) scale was ≤90 at the 1-year follow-up post-revascularization with PCI or CABG. The primary endpoint of all-cause death at 10 years was compared between the RA and no-RA groups. A sensitivity analysis was performed using a 6-month SAQ-AF.At 1 year, 373 (26.1%) out of 1428 patients reported RA. Whilst RA at 1 year was an independent correlate of repeat revascularization at 5 years [18.3 vs. 11.5%; adjusted hazard ratio (HR): 1.54; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.10-2.15], it was not associated with all-cause death at 10 years (22.1 vs. 21.6%; adjusted HR: 1.11; 95% CI: 0.83-1.47). These results were consistent when stratified by the modality of revascularization (PCI or CABG) or by anginal frequency. The sensitivity analysis replicating the analyses based on 6-month angina status resulted in similar findings. CONCLUSION Among patients with LMCAD and/or 3VD, patient-reported RA at 1 year post-revascularization was independently associated with repeat revascularization at 5 years; however, it did not significantly increase 10-year mortality, irrespective of the primary modality of revascularization or severity of RA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Whether initial invasive management in older vs younger adults with chronic coronary disease and moderate or severe ischemia improves health status or clinical outcomes is unknown. OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to examine the impact of age on health status and clinical outcomes with invasive vs conservative management in the ISCHEMIA (International Study of Comparative Health Effectiveness with Medical and Invasive Approaches) trial. METHODS One-year angina-specific health status was assessed with the 7-item Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) (score range 0-100; higher scores indicate better health status). Cox proportional hazards models estimated the treatment effect of invasive vs conservative management as a function of age on the composite clinical outcome of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or hospitalization for resuscitated cardiac arrest, unstable angina, or heart failure. RESULTS Among 4,617 participants, 2,239 (48.5%) were aged <65 years, 1,713 (37.1%) were aged 65 to 74 years, and 665 (14.4%) were aged ≥75 years. Baseline SAQ summary scores were lower in participants aged <65 years. Fully adjusted differences in 1-year SAQ summary scores (invasive minus conservative) were 4.90 (95% CI: 3.56-6.24) at age 55 years, 3.48 (95% CI: 2.40-4.57) at age 65 years, and 2.13 (95% CI: 0.75-3.51) at age 75 years (Pinteraction = 0.008). Improvement in SAQ Angina Frequency was less dependent on age (Pinteraction = 0.08). There were no age differences between invasive vs conservative management on the composite clinical outcome (Pinteraction = 0.29). CONCLUSIONS Older patients with chronic coronary disease and moderate or severe ischemia had consistent improvement in angina frequency but less improvement in angina-related health status with invasive management compared with younger patients. Invasive management was not associated with improved clinical outcomes in older or younger patients.

CJC Open 2023; 5:335-344. [PMID: 37377522 PMCID: PMC10290947 DOI: 10.1016/j.cjco.2022.12.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2022] [Accepted: 12/13/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Although young women ( aged ≤ 55 years) are at higher risk than similarly aged men for hospital readmission within 1 year after an acute myocardial infarction (AMI), no risk prediction models have been developed for them. The present study developed and internally validated a risk prediction model of 1-year post-AMI hospital readmission among young women that considered demographic, clinical, and gender-related variables. Methods We used data from the US Variation in Recovery: Role of Gender on Outcomes of Young AMI Patients (VIRGO) study (n = 2007 women), a prospective observational study of young patients hospitalized with AMI. Bayesian model averaging was used for model selection and bootstrapping for internal validation. Model calibration and discrimination were respectively assessed with calibration plots and area under the curve. Results Within 1-year post-AMI, 684 women (34.1%) were readmitted to the hospital at least once. The final model predictors included: any in-hospital complication, baseline perceived physical health, obstructive coronary artery disease, diabetes, history of congestive heart failure, low income ( < $30,000 US), depressive symptoms, length of hospital stay, and race (White vs Black). Of the 9 retained predictors, 3 were gender-related. The model was well calibrated and exhibited modest discrimination (area under the curve = 0.66). Conclusions Our female-specific risk model was developed and internally validated in a cohort of young female patients hospitalized with AMI and can be used to predict risk of readmission. Whereas clinical factors were the strongest predictors, the model included several gender-related variables (ie, perceived physical health, depression, income level). However, discrimination was modest, indicating that other unmeasured factors contribute to variability in hospital readmission risk among younger women.

Abstract
Background Although chronic total occlusions (CTOs) are common in older adults, they are less likely to be offered CTO percutaneous coronary intervention for angina relief than younger adults. The health status impact of CTO percutaneous coronary intervention in adults aged ≥75 years has not been studied. We sought to compare technical success rates and angina-related health status outcomes at 12 months between adults aged ≥75 and <75 years in the OPEN-CTO (Outcomes, Patient Health Status, and Efficiency in Chronic Total Occlusion) registry. Methods and Results Angina-related health status was assessed with the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (score range 0-100, higher scores denote less angina). Technical success rates were compared using hierarchical modified Poisson regression, and 12-month health status was compared using hierarchical multivariable linear regression between adults aged ≥75 and <75 years. Among 1000 participants, 19.8% were ≥75 years with a mean age of 79.5±4.1 years. Age ≥75 years was associated with a lower likelihood of technical success (adjusted risk ratio=0.92 [95% CI, 0.86-0.99; P=0.02]) and numerically higher rates of in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events (9.1% versus 5.9%, P=0.10). There was no difference in Seattle Angina Questionnaire Summary Score at 12 months between adults aged ≥75 and <75 years (adjusted difference=0.9 [95% CI, -1.4 to 3.1; P=0.44]). Conclusions Despite modestly lower success rates and higher complication rates, adults aged ≥75 years experienced angina-related health status benefits after CTO-percutaneous coronary intervention that were similar in magnitude to adults aged <75 years. CTO percutaneous coronary intervention should not be withheld based on age alone in otherwise appropriate candidates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The ISCHEMIA (International Study of Comparative Health Effectiveness With Medical and Invasive Approaches) trial randomized participants with chronic coronary disease (CCD) to guideline-directed medical therapy with or without angiography and revascularization. The study examined the association of nonadherence with health status outcomes. OBJECTIVES The study sought to compare 12-month health status outcomes of adherent and nonadherent participants with CCD with an a priori hypothesis that nonadherent patients would have better health status if randomized to invasive management. METHODS Self-reported medication-taking behavior was assessed at randomization with a modified 4-item Morisky-Green-Levine Adherence Scale, and participants were classified as adherent or nonadherent. Twelve-month health status was assessed with the 7-item Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ-7) summary score (SS), which ranges from 0 to 100 (higher score = better). The association of adherence with outcomes was evaluated using Bayesian proportional odds models, including an interaction by study arm (conservative vs invasive). RESULTS Among 4,480 randomized participants, 1,245 (27.8%) were nonadherent at baseline. Nonadherent participants had worse baseline SAQ-7 SS in both conservative (72.9 ± 19.3 vs 75.6 ± 18.4) and invasive (71.0 ± 19.8 vs 74.2 ± 18.7) arms. In adjusted analyses, adherence was associated with higher 12-month SAQ-7 SS in both treatment groups (mean difference in SAQ-7 SS with conservative treatment = 1.6 [95% credible interval: 0.3-2.9] vs with invasive management = 1.9 [95% credible interval: 0.8-3.1]), with no interaction by treatment. CONCLUSIONS More than 1 in 4 participants reported medication nonadherence, which was associated with worse health status in both conservative and invasive treatment strategies at baseline and 12 months. Strategies to improve medication adherence are needed to improve health status outcomes in CCD, regardless of treatment strategy.

Abstract
AIMS The objective of the Randomized comparison of the Outcome of single vs. Multiple Arterial grafts: Quality of Life (ROMA:QOL) trial is to evaluate the impact of coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) on quality of life (QOL). The primary hypothesis of ROMA:QOL is that participants in the multiple arterial graft (MAG) will report time-varying changes in QOL that will be lower in the post-operative recovery period and higher after 12 months compared to patients in the single arterial graft (SAG). The secondary hypotheses are that both groups will have improvements in symptoms at 12 months, and that compared to the SAG group, participants in the MAG group will experience better physical functioning and physical and mental health symptoms. METHODS AND RESULTS An estimated 2111 participants will be enrolled from the parent ROMA trial from 13 countries. Outcome assessments include the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) (primary outcome), Short Form-12v2, EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D)-5L, PROMIS-29, and PROMIS Neuropathic Pain measured at baseline, first post-operative visit, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 months. The analysis for the primary outcome, the change in the SAQ from baseline to 12 months, will be compared across all time-points between the two treatment arms. CONCLUSION The ROMA:QOL trial will answer whether there are differences in QOL, physical and mental health symptoms overall for CABG, by MAG and SAG intervention arms, by sex, and between patients with and without diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent data suggest that colchicine may reduce cardiovascular events among patients presenting with acute coronary syndromes. This sub-study of the Australian COPS trial aimed to assess whether colchicine affects health status outcomes. METHODS Health status was assessed at baseline and 12-months using the EuroQol-5 Dimension 5-level (EQ-5D-5L) score and the full 19-question Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ). Data were available for 786 patients (388 randomized to colchicine, 398 to placebo). RESULTS Baseline characteristics were well matched between groups; mean age was 60.1 (SD 14.8) years, and 20 % were female. Baseline health status scores were impaired, and most parameters demonstrated significant improvement from baseline to 12-months (EQ-5D-5L Visual Analogue Score [VAS] 69.3 to 77.7; SAQ angina frequency score 83.0 to 95.3, both p < 0.001). No significant differences in adjusted mean score change among any of the EQ-5D-5L or SAQ dimensions were observed between treatment groups in either intention-to-treat or per-protocol analysis. There were borderline interactions in EQ-5D-5L scores for those with previous MI vs not, and in SAQ scores for those with obesity vs not. In categorical analysis using observed data, patients treated with colchicine were more likely to have clinically significant improvement in physical limitation score over the period (36 % improved vs. 28 %, p < 0.05). Baseline health status scores were not associated with the primary endpoint at 12 months. CONCLUSIONS Treatment with colchicine did not appear to affect change in measures of health status following acute coronary syndromes, but it did lead to a greater likelihood of improvement in physical limitation scores.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a paucity of data comparing functional difference between active jailed balloon technique (A-JBT) and conventional jailed balloon technique (C-JBT) in treating non-left main coronary bifurcation lesions (CBLs). METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, we consecutively enrolled 232 patients with non-left main CBLs who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using JBTs between January 2018 and March 2019. Among them, 191 patients entered the final analysis with 12-months angiographic follow-up. We stratified patients into A-JBT group (130 patients) and C-JBT group (61 patients). The functional analysis by Murray law-based quantitative flow ratio (μQFR) and Seattleanginaquestionnaire (SAQ) were performed to compare the two techniques. RESULTS Compared with C-JBT group, A-JBT group observed a lower abrupt (0.8% vs. 11.1%, p = 0.002) and final SB occlusion (0 vs. 7.9%, p = 0.005). Meanwhile, A-JBT group had a significantly higher μQFR of side branch (SB) both post-PCI and 12-months follow-up (median [interquartile range (IQR)]: 0.91 (0.86-0.96) vs. 0.82 (0.69-0.92), p < 0.001; median [IQR]: 0.95 (0.89-0.98) vs. 0.85 (0.74-0.93), p < 0.001) than C-JBT group. Besides, A-JBT group gained a μQFR improvement at follow-up period compared with post-PCI data (median [IQR]: 0.95 [0.89-0.98] vs. 0.91[0.86-0.96] of SB, p < 0.001) and a higher SAQ scores at 12-months follow-up compared with C-JBT group (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Compared with C-JBT, A-JBT provided excellent SB protection during MV stenting and improved the SB functional blood flow as well as the angina relief even after 12 months.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Assessment of quality of life in patients with stable angina and normal gated single-photon emission computed tomography myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) remains undefined. Symptom evolution in response to imaging findings has important implications on further diagnostic testing and therapeutic interventions. METHODS Prospective cohort study was conducted at the University of Alabama at Birmingham enrolling 87 adult participants with stable chest pain from the emergency room, hospital setting, and outpatient clinics. Patients underwent MPI with technetium-99m Sestamibi and had a normal study. Participants filled out Seattle Angina Questionnaires initially and at 3-month follow-up. RESULTS Among the 87 participants (60 ± 12 years; 40% African American, 70% women, 29% diabetes), the mean score increased by an absolute value of 14.2 [95% CI 10.4-18.7, P < .001] in physical limitation, 23.2 [95% CI 17.1-29.4, P < .001] in angina stability, 10.9 [95% CI 7.6-14.1, P < .001] in angina frequency, and 20.6 [95% CI 16.5-24.7, P < .001] in disease perception. There was no significant change in the mean score of treatment satisfaction [- 1.4, 95% CI - 4.7 to 1.8, P = .38]. At 3-month follow-up, 28 of 87 participants (32%) were angina free. CONCLUSIONS Patients with stable chest pain and normal MPI experience significant improvement in functional status, quality of life, and disease perception in the short term.

Health status outcomes after spontaneous coronary artery dissection and comparison with other acute myocardial infarction: The VIRGO experience. PLoS One 2022; 17:e0265624. [PMID: 35320296 PMCID: PMC8942215 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0265624] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2021] [Accepted: 03/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Data on health status outcomes after spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) are limited. Methods and findings Using the Variation in Recovery: Role of Gender on Outcomes of Young AMI Patients (VIRGO) study we compared patients with SCAD and other acute myocardial infarction (AMI) at presentation (baseline), 1-month, and-12 months using standardized health status instruments. Among 3572 AMI patients ≤ 55 years, 67 had SCAD. SCAD patients were younger (median age (IQR) 45 (40.5–51) years vs. 48 (44–52) in other AMI, p = 0.003), more often female (92.5% vs. 66.6%), have college education (73.1% vs. 51.7%) and household income >$100,000 (43.3% vs. 17.7% (All p<0.001). SCAD patients at baseline had higher mean ± SD Short Form-12 [SF-12] physical component scores [PCS] (48.7±10.2 vs. 43.8±12.1, p<0.001) and mental component scores [MCS] (49.6±12.4 vs. 45.4±12.5, p = 0.008), and at 12-months [PCS (50.1±9.0 vs. 44.3±12.3, p<0.001) and MCS (53±10.1 vs 50.2±11.0, p = 0.045)]. The Euro-Quality of Life Scale [EQ-5D] VAS and EQ-5D index scores were similar at baseline, but higher at 12-months for SCAD (EQ-5D VAS: 82.2±10.2 vs. 72.3±21.0, p<0.001; EQ-5D index scores; 90.2±15.3 vs. 83.7±19.8, p = 0.012). SCAD patients had better baseline Seattle Angina Questionnaire [SAQ] physical limitation (88.8±20.1 vs. 81.2±25.4, p = 0.017). At 12-months SCAD patients had better physical limitation (98.0±8.5 vs. 91.4±18.8, p = 0.007), angina frequency (96.4±8.8 vs. 91.3±16.8, p = 0.018) and quality of life scores (80.7±14.7 vs 72.2±23.2, p = 0.005). Magnitude of change in health status from baseline to 12-months was not statistically different between the groups. After adjustment for time and comorbidities there remained no difference in most health status outcomes. Conclusions SCAD patients fare marginally better than other AMI patients on most health status instruments and have similar 12-month health status recovery. Better pre-event health status suggests a need to modify exercise prescriptions and cardiac rehabilitation protocols to better assist this physically active population to recover.

Abstract
Angina is a common symptom in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD); however, its impact on patients' quality of life over time is not well understood. We sought to determine the longitudinal association of angina frequency with quality of life and functional status over a 5-year period. We used data from the Heart and Soul Study, a prospective cohort study of 1,023 outpatients with stable CAD. Participants completed the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) at baseline and annually for 5 years. We evaluated the population effect of angina frequency on disease-specific quality of life (SAQ Disease Perception), physical function (SAQ Physical Limitation), perceived overall health, and overall quality of life, with adjusted models. We evaluated these associations within the same year and with a time-lagged association between angina and quality of life reported 1 year later. Generalized estimating equation models were used to account for repeated measures and within-subject correlation of responses. Over 5 years of follow-up, patients with daily or weekly angina symptoms had lower quality of life scores (52 vs 89, p <0.001) and greater physical limitation (61 vs 86, p <0.001) after adjustment. Compared with patients with daily or weekly angina symptoms, those with no angina symptoms had 2-fold greater odds of better quality of life (odds ratio 2.39, 95% confidence interval 1.76 to 3.25) and 5-fold greater odds of better perceived overall health (odds ratio 5.45, 95% confidence interval 3.85 to 7.73). In conclusion, angina frequency is strongly associated with quality of life and physical function in patients with CAD. Even after modeling to adjust for both clinical risk factors and repeated measures within subjects, we found that less frequent angina symptoms were associated with better quality of life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Guidelines endorse coronary artery bypass as the preferred revascularization strategy for patients with left main and/or multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD). However, many patients are deemed excessively high risk for surgery after Heart Team evaluation. No prospective studies have examined contemporary treatment patterns, rationale for surgical decision-making, completeness of revascularization with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and outcomes in this high-risk population with advanced CAD. METHODS We designed the Outcomes of Percutaneous RevascularizaTIon for Management of SUrgically Ineligible Patients with Multivessel or Left Main Coronary Artery Disease (OPTIMUM) registry, a prospective, multicenter study of patients with "surgical anatomy" determined to be at prohibitive risk for bypass surgery. The primary outcome is comparison of observed to predicted 30-day mortality, with secondary outcomes of patient-reported health status and the association between completeness of revascularization and clinical outcomes. Patient characteristics driving surgical risk determinations will be reported, and peri-operative risk will be assessed using validated scoring methods. Angiograms will be assessed by an independent core laboratory, and clinical events will be adjudicated. RESULTS Clinical outcomes assessments will include 30-day and 1-year cardiovascular events, health status at 1, 6 and 12-months, and 5-year mortality. CONCLUSIONS OPTIMUM is the first prospective, multicenter study to examine treatment strategies and outcomes among multivessel CAD patients deemed ineligible for surgical revascularization after Heart Team assessment. This registry will provide unique insights into the clinical decision-making, revascularization practices, safety, effectiveness, and health status outcomes in this high-risk population.

Development and Validation of a Risk Prediction Model for 1-Year Readmission Among Young Adults Hospitalized for Acute Myocardial Infarction. J Am Heart Assoc 2021; 10:e021047. [PMID: 34514837 PMCID: PMC8649501 DOI: 10.1161/jaha.121.021047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Background Readmission over the first year following hospitalization for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is common among younger adults (≤55 years). Our aim was to develop/validate a risk prediction model that considered a broad range of factors for readmission within 1 year. Methods and Results We used data from the VIRGO (Variation in Recovery: Role of Gender on Outcomes of Young AMI Patients) study, which enrolled young adults aged 18 to 55 years hospitalized with AMI across 103 US hospitals (N=2979). The primary outcome was ≥1 all‐cause readmissions within 1 year of hospital discharge. Bayesian model averaging was used to select the risk model. The mean age of participants was 47.1 years, 67.4% were women, and 23.2% were Black. Within 1 year of discharge for AMI, 905 (30.4%) of participants were readmitted and were more likely to be female, Black, and nonmarried. The final risk model consisted of 10 predictors: depressive symptoms (odds ratio [OR], 1.03; 95% CI, 1.01–1.05), better physical health (OR, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.97–0.99), in‐hospital complication of heart failure (OR, 1.44; 95% CI, 0.99–2.08), chronic obstructive pulmomary disease (OR, 1.29; 95% CI, 0.96–1.74), diabetes mellitus (OR, 1.23; 95% CI, 1.00–1.52), female sex (OR, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.05–1.65), low income (OR, 1.13; 95% CI, 0.89–1.42), prior AMI (OR, 1.47; 95% CI, 1.15–1.87), in‐hospital length of stay (OR, 1.13; 95% CI, 1.04–1.23), and being employed (OR, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.69–1.12). The model had excellent calibration and modest discrimination (C statistic=0.67 in development/validation cohorts). Conclusions Women and those with a prior AMI, increased depressive symptoms, longer inpatient length of stay and diabetes may be more likely to be readmitted. Notably, several predictors of readmission were psychosocial characteristics rather than markers of AMI severity. This finding may inform the development of interventions to reduce readmissions in young patients with AMI.

Anti-inflammatory activity of the Tongmai Yangxin pill in the treatment of coronary heart disease is associated with estrogen receptor and NF-κB signaling pathway. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2021; 276:114106. [PMID: 33838287 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2021.114106] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2020] [Revised: 04/01/2021] [Accepted: 04/02/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE The Tongmai Yangxin Pill (TMYX) is a patented traditional Chinese medicine originating from two classic prescriptions, Zhigancao Decoction and Shenmai Yin, which composed of 11 Chinese medicinal herbs: Rehmannia glutinosa (Gaertn.) DC., Spatholobus suberectus Dunn, Ophiopogon japonicus (Thunb.) Ker Gawl., Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch., Polygonum multiflorum Thunb., Equus asinus L., Schisandra chinensis (Turcz.) Baill., Codonopsis pilosula (Franch.) Nannf., Chinemys reevesii (Gray), Ziziphus jujuba Mill. and Cinnamomum cassia (L.) J.Presl (Committee of the Pharmacopoeia of PR China, 2015). TMYX has marketed in China for the treatment of chest pain, palpitation, angina, irregular heartbeat and coronary heart disease (CHD) for several decades. Previous studies have confirmed that TMYX can treat CHD by reducing inflammation, but the underlying pharmacological mechanism remains unclear. AIM OF THE STUDY This study aimed to declare the underlying pharmacological mechanism of anti-inflammatory activity of TMYX in the treatment of CHD via clinical trial, microarray study, bioinformatics analysis and the vitro assays. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eight CHD patients' serum biochemical indices including coagulation function, lipid metabolism, endothelial injury, metalloprotease, adhesion molecule, inflammatory mediator and homocysteine were measured to investigate the reduction of CHD risk by TMYX oral administration (40 pills/time, 2 times/day) for eight weeks. The expression profile chips and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) were assessed to reveal the global transcriptional response and predict related functions, diseases and canonical pathways. The in vitro anti-inflammatory actions of TMYX were evaluated using oxidized low-density lipoprotein (100 μg/mL) induced murine RAW264.7 macrophage with an ethanol extract from TMYX (EETMYX) (25-100 μg/mL). RESULTS TMYX treatment showed reduced levels of apolipoprotein B, endothelin 1, nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) and homocysteine in CHD patients. In contrast, the treatment increased the ratio of apolipoprotein A/apolipoprotein B. EETMYX restored cell morphology and suppressed the lipid deposition of the induced foam cells. EETMYX exerted anti-inflammatory effects by raising the mRNA and protein expression of Estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1), blocking the reduction of IκBa level and the phosphorylation of IKKα/β, IκBα and NF-κB p65, accompanied by inhibiting MCP-1, TNF-α and IL-6 production, which were consistent with bioinformatics predictions. CONCLUSION TMYX treatment improved the biochemical indices in CHD patients. EETMYX effectively attenuated macrophage foam cell formation and exhibited anti-inflammatory activity is associated with regulating ESR1 and NF-κB signaling pathway activity.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW As medicine strives to become more patient-centered, patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are often used to describe patients' symptoms, function, and quality of life. This review describes the key concepts of PROs specific to heart failure in clinical trials and their potential role in clinical practice. RECENT FINDINGS As the Food and Drug Administration has increasingly emphasized how it values PROs as clinical outcome assessments, including its recent qualification of the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ), clinical trials have increasingly used them to evaluate novel therapies. This has been enhanced by an increasing understanding of how to interpret KCCQ scores. Its use in clinical practice, including the importance of providers sharing results with their patients, is just emerging. PROs provide unique insights into the benefits of treatment from patients' perspectives and while their role in clinical care is just beginning, they offer an important opportunity to improve the patient-centeredness of care.

Abstract
Importance Patient-reported outcomes are increasingly used as end points in clinical trials, assessments in clinical care, and tools for population health, with an increasing role in quality assessment. For patients with coronary artery disease, the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) has emerged as the most commonly used measure of disease-specific health status to quantify patients' symptoms of angina and the extent to which their angina affects their functioning and quality of life. This review explains how to interpret the SAQ and describes the construction and face validity of the SAQ, focusing on aligning scores and changes in scores with clinical constructs. Observations The SAQ asks questions similar to those an experienced clinician would ask of a patient with stable ischemic heart disease. Therefore, SAQ scores can be aligned with clinical constructs (eg, scores on the SAQ angina frequency scale of 0-30 points indicate daily angina, 31-60 points indicate weekly angina, 61-99 points indicate monthly angina, and 100 points indicate no angina), and changes in scores can be described by aligning them with changes in question responses. After clinical thresholds are defined, it is important for clinical trials to not simply report mean differences between treatment arms but to also report the distributions of patients who have had clinically important benefits so that a number needed to treat can be generated. Conclusions and Relevance The widespread use of the SAQ is a consequence of its well-established validity, reproducibility, prognostic importance, and sensitivity to clinical change. Nevertheless, interpreting the SAQ can be challenging because of lack of familiarity with the clinical importance of its domains, either cross-sectionally or longitudinally. This review provides an overview of the interpretability of the SAQ as a foundation for its use as an end point in clinical trials, a tool to support more patient-centered care, and a means of facilitating population health strategies to provide a better foundation for the integration of patient experiences with clinical care.

Impact of body mass index on outcome and health status after chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary intervention: Insights from the OPEN-CTO study. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv 2021; 97:1186-1193. [PMID: 32320140 DOI: 10.1002/ccd.28928] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2020] [Revised: 03/26/2020] [Accepted: 04/10/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The effect of body mass index (BMI) on the procedural outcomes and health status (HS) change after chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is largely unknown. METHODS Thousand consecutive patients enrolled in a 12-center prospective CTO PCI study (Outcomes, Patient Health Status, and Efficiency in Chronic Total Occlusion Hybrid Procedures [OPEN-CTO]) were categorized into three groups by baseline BMI (obese ≥30, overweight 25-30, and normal 18.5-25), after excluding seven patients with BMI <18.5. Baseline and follow-up HS at 1 year were quantified using the Seattle Angina Questionnaire, Rose Dyspnea Score, and Personal Health Questionnaire-8 (PHQ-8). Hierarchical, multivariable logistic, and repeated measures linear regression models were used to assess procedural success, major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), and HS outcomes, as appropriate. RESULTS The obese and overweight were 47.6% and 37.4%, respectively. While procedure time and contrast dose were similar among the groups, total radiation dose (mGy) was higher with increased BMI (3,019 ± 2,027, 2,267 ± 1,714, 1,642 ± 1,223, p < .01). Procedural success rates, as well as MACCE rates, were similar among the three groups (obese 83.1%, overweight 79.8%, normal 81.9%, p = .47 and 5.1, 8.4, and 8.7%, p = .11). These rates remained similar after adjustment for baseline characteristics. The HS improvement from baseline to 12 months after adjustment was similar in obese and overweight patients compared to normal weight patients. CONCLUSIONS CTO PCI in obese and overweight patients can be performed with similar success and complication rates. Obese and overweight patients derive similar HS benefit from CTO PCI compared to normal weight patients.

Garcia RA, Spertus JA. Using Patient-Reported Outcomes toAssess Healthcare Quality: Toward Better Measurement of Patient-Centered Care in Cardiovascular Disease. Methodist Debakey Cardiovasc J 2021; 17:e1-e9. [PMID: 34104328 PMCID: PMC8158443 DOI: 10.14797/vuwd7697] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are elicited directly from patients so they can describe their overall health status, including their symptoms, function, and quality of life. While commonly used as end points in clinical trials, PROs can play an important role in routine clinical care, population health management, and as a means for quantifying the quality of patient care. In this review, we propose that PROs be used to improve patient-centered care in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases given their importance to patients and society and their ability to improve doctor- provider communication. Furthermore, given the current variability in patients' health status across different clinics and the fact that PROs can be improved by titrating therapy, we contend that PROs have a key opportunity to serve as measures of healthcare quality.

Mortality 10 Years After Percutaneous or Surgical Revascularization in Patients With Total Coronary Artery Occlusions. J Am Coll Cardiol 2021; 77:529-540. [PMID: 33538250 DOI: 10.1016/j.jacc.2020.11.055] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2020] [Revised: 11/20/2020] [Accepted: 11/23/2020] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The long-term clinical benefit after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with total occlusions (TOs) and complex coronary artery disease has not yet been clarified. OBJECTIVES The objective of this analysis was to assess 10-year all-cause mortality in patients with TOs undergoing PCI or CABG. METHODS This is a subanalysis of patients with at least 1 TO in the SYNTAXES (Synergy Between PCI With Taxus and Cardiac Surgery Extended Survival) study, which investigated 10-year all-cause mortality in the SYNTAX (Synergy Between PCI With Taxus and Cardiac Surgery) trial, beyond its original 5-year follow-up. Patients with TOs were further stratified according to the status of TO recanalization or revascularization. RESULTS Of 1,800 randomized patients to the PCI or CABG arm, 460 patients had at least 1 lesion of TO. In patients with TOs, the status of TO recanalization or revascularization was not associated with 10-year all-cause mortality, irrespective of the assigned treatment (PCI arm: 29.9% vs. 29.4%; adjusted hazard ratio [HR]: 0.992; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.474 to 2.075; p = 0.982; and CABG arm: 28.0% vs. 21.4%; adjusted HR: 0.656; 95% CI: 0.281 to 1.533; p = 0.330). When TOs existed in left main and/or left anterior descending artery, the status of TO recanalization or revascularization did not have an impact on the mortality (34.5% vs. 26.9%; adjusted HR: 0.896; 95% CI: 0.314 to 2.555; p = 0.837). CONCLUSIONS At 10-year follow-up, the status of TO recanalization or revascularization did not affect mortality, irrespective of the assigned treatment and location of TOs. The present study might support contemporary practice among high-volume chronic TO-PCI centers where recanalization is primarily offered to patients for the management of angina refractory to medical therapy when myocardial viability is confirmed.

Clinical effectiveness and safety of salvia miltiorrhiza depside salt combined with aspirin in patients with stable angina pectoris: A multicenter, pragmatic, randomized controlled trial. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2021; 81:153419. [PMID: 33360345 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2020.153419] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2020] [Revised: 11/12/2020] [Accepted: 11/19/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Salvia Miltiorrhiza Depside Salt (SMDS) was extracted from Salvia miltiorrhiza with high-quality control of active principles. In 2005, China's FDA approved the use of SMDS for stable angina pectoris (SAP), but the evidence of SMDS combined with aspirin remains unclear. PURPOSE The aim of this study was to assess the clinical effectiveness and safety of SMDS combined with aspirin in patients with SAP. METHODS A multicenter, pragmatic, three-armed parallel group and an individually randomized controlled superiority trial was designed. Participants aged 35 to 75 years old with SAP were recruited from four "Class Ⅲ Grade A" hospitals in China. Participants who were randomized into the SMDS group were treated with SMDS by intravenous drip. Participants in the control group received aspirin enteric-coated tablets (aspirin). Participants who were randomly assigned to the combination group received SMDS combined with aspirin. All participants received standard care from clinicians, without any restrictions. The primary outcome measure was thromboelastography (TEG). Secondary outcome measures included symptom score of the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ), visual analogue scale (VAS) score of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptoms, platelet aggregation measured by light transmittance aggregometry (LTA), and fasting blood glucose. Effectiveness evaluation data were collected at baseline and ten days after treatment. Researchers followed up with participants for one month after treatment to determine whether adverse events (AEs) or adverse drug reactions (ADRs) such as bleeding tendency occurred. All statistical calculations were carried out with R 3.5.3 statistical analysis software. RESULTS A total of 135 participants completed follow-up data on the primary outcome after ten days of treatment. Participants in the SMDS combined aspirin group had the highest improvement rate of sensitivity in AA% [p < 0.001, 95% CI (0.00-0.00)], from 30.6% before treatment to 81.6% after treatment. Participants with drug resistance (AA% < 20%) in the SMDS combined with aspirin group also had the highest sensitivity rate [p < 0.001, 95% CI (0.00-0.00)] after treatment (accounting for 81.0% of the combination group and 60.7% of the sensitive participants). The improvement of TCM symptoms in participants treated with SMDS combined with aspirin was significantly better than that of the aspirin group [MD = 1.71, 95% CI (0.15-3.27), p = 0.032]. There were no significant differences in other indexes (R, TPI, MA, K, CI, α value) of TEG, SAQ, platelet aggregation and fasting blood glucose among the three groups. No bleeding tendency or ADRs occurred in all participants. CONCLUSION SMDS combined with aspirin is a clinically effective and safe intervention to treat adults aged 35 and older with SAP. This trial shows that SMDS combined with aspirin can significantly improve the sensitivity rate of AA% in TEG and the VAS score of TCM symptoms. Further large samples and high-quality research are needed to determine if certain participants might benefit more from SMDS combined with aspirin. The study protocol was registered in the Clinical Trials USA registry (registration No. NCT02694848).

Efficacy of team-based collaborative care for distressed patients in secondary prevention of chronic coronary heart disease (TEACH): study protocol of a multicenter randomized controlled trial. BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2020; 20:520. [PMID: 33302871 PMCID: PMC7731481 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-020-01810-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2020] [Accepted: 12/02/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death and years of life lost worldwide. While effective treatments are available for both acute and chronic disease stages there are unmet needs for effective interventions to support patients in health behaviors required for secondary prevention. Psychosocial distress is a common comorbidity in patients with CHD and associated with substantially reduced health-related quality of life (HRQoL), poor health behavior, and low treatment adherence. METHODS In a confirmatory, randomized, controlled, two-arm parallel group, multicenter behavioral intervention trial we will randomize 440 distressed CHD patients with at least one insufficiently controlled cardiac risk factor to either their physicians' usual care (UC) or UC plus 12-months of blended collaborative care (TeamCare = TC). Trained nurse care managers (NCM) will proactively support patients to identify individual sources of distress and risk behaviors, establish a stepwise treatment plan to improve self-help and healthy behavior, and actively monitor adherence and progress. Additional e-health resources are available to patients and their families. Intervention fidelity is ensured by a treatment manual, an electronic patient registry, and a specialist team regularly supervising NCM via videoconferences and recommending protocol and guideline-compliant treatment adjustments as indicated. Recommendations will be shared with patients and their physicians who remain in charge of patients' care. Since HRQoL is a recommended outcome by both, several guidelines and patient preference we chose a ≥ 50% improvement over baseline on the HeartQoL questionnaire at 12 months as primary outcome. Our primary hypothesis is that significantly more patients receiving TC will meet the primary outcome criterion compared to the UC group. Secondary hypotheses will evaluate improvements in risk factors, psychosocial variables, health care utilization, and durability of intervention effects over 18-30 months of follow-up. DISCUSSION TEACH is the first study of a blended collaborative care intervention simultaneously addressing distress and medical CHD risk factors conducted in cardiac patients in a European health care setting. If proven effective, its results can improve long-term chronic care of this vulnerable patient group and may be adapted for patients with other chronic conditions.

Abstract
Background: There is a relationship between physical activity and health-related quality of life (HRQL) in healthy people and in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD). The purpose of this study was to determine whether this relationship between sports or recreational physical activity levels and HRQL has a dose-response gradient in patients with IHD. Methods: Using one generic and three IHD-specific HRQL questionnaires, differences in HRQL scores (adjusted for confounders) were determined for physically a) inactive vs. active patients and b) inactive vs. patients being active 1–2, 3–5, or >5 times per week. Results: Data were provided by 6143 IHD-patients (angina: N = 2033; myocardial infarction: N = 2266; ischemic heart failure: N = 1844). Regardless of diagnosis or instrument used, when patients were dichotomized as either inactive or active, the latter reported throughout higher physical and emotional HRQL (all p < 0.001; d = 0.25–0.70). When categorized by physical activity levels, there was a positive HRQL dose-response gradient by increasing levels of physical activity that was most marked between inactive patients and those being active 1–2 times per week (63 82%). Conclusions: Using generic and IHD-specific HRQL questionnaires, there seems to be an overall dose-dependent gradient betweenincreasing levels of sports or recreational physical activity and higher HRQL in patients with angina, myocardial infarction, and ischemic heart failure. The greatest bang for the public health buck still lies on putting all the effort in changing sedentary lifestyle to at least a moderate active one (1–2 times per week), in particular in cardiac rehabilitation settings.

Bivalirudin versus unfractionated heparin during percutaneous coronary intervention in high-bleeding-risk patients with acute coronary syndrome in contemporary practice. Biomed Pharmacother 2020; 130:110758. [PMID: 34321166 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2020.110758] [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: 07/28/2020] [Revised: 09/09/2020] [Accepted: 09/11/2020] [Indexed: 10/23/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bivalirudin, as compared with unfractionated heparin (UFH), has been shown to reduce bleeding complications and supply a better safety profile among low/medium-bleeding-risk patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in some previous studies. Whether this advantage persists in patients at high risk of bleeding according to contemporary practice characterized by frequent use of radial-artery access and novel P2Y12 inhibitors, and low use of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors (GPIs) is unclear. AIM OF THE STUDY This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of bivalirudin compared with UFH in high bleeding risk patients with ACS undergoing PCI in current practice. MATERIALS AND METHODS All consecutive high-bleeding-risk patients who underwent PCI for ACS at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January to September 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The 30-day primary outcome was a composite of major bleeding, myocardial infarction, all-cause death, or stroke (net adverse clinical events [NACEs]), and the secondary outcomes at 30 days included a composite of myocardial infarction, stoke, or all-cause death (major adverse cardiovascular events [MACEs]), each component of the primary outcome, target vessel revascularization (TVR) and stent thrombosis (ST). Besides, we assessed angina-related health status at 30 days, the length of hospital stay, and hospitalization costs. A logistic regression model was used to adjust for baseline differences. Consistency of the treatment effect of bivalirudin for NACEs and MACEs compared with UFH was evaluated in 15 prespecified subgroups. RESULTS From January to September 2019, 823 patients (361 treated with bivalirudin and 462 treated with UFH) were enrolled in the study. GPIs, novel P2Y12 inhibitors, and radial approach was used in 5.6 %, 66.1 %, and 89.7 % of the patients, respectively. After adjusting for baseline differences, bivalirudin was associated with significant reduction in NACEs, MACEs, major bleeding, and myocardial infarction at 30 days compared with UFH. The individual endpoints of death, stroke, ST and TVR did not differ significantly between the 2 groups after adjusting for covariates. Furthermore, bivalirudin consistently reduced the rates of NACEs and MACEs in the 15 prespecified subgroups compared with UFH. These benefits of bivalirudin can translate into improved angina-related health status, shorter hospital stays, and lower hospitalization costs. CONCLUSIONS The treatment of bivalirudin showed better efficacy and safety as compared to UFH among patients with ACS undergoing PCI at high risk of bleeding in contemporary practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited research has detailed the outcomes of chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with independent core laboratory and event adjudication. This study examined procedural, clinical, and patient-reported health status outcomes among patients undergoing CTO PCI with specific focus on outcomes for those treated with zotarolimus-eluting stents (ZES). METHODS Among 500 consecutive patients undergoing attempted CTO PCI, procedural and in-hospital clinical outcomes were examined in addition to the 1-year composite endpoint of death, myocardial infarction, and target lesion revascularization (major adverse cardiac events, MACE). In a pre-specified cohort of 250 patients, health status measures were ascertained at baseline and 1 year. A powered secondary endpoint was 1-year MACE among patients treated with ZES compared with a performance goal. RESULTS Demographic, lesion, and procedural characteristics for the overall population included prior bypass surgery, 29.8%; diabetes, 35.2%; occlusion length >20 mm, 71.3%; J-CTO score, 2.5 ± 1.1; and primary retrograde strategy, 30.8%. Overall guidewire crossing was 90.9%; clinical success following guidewire crossing, 94.3%; and 1-year MACE rate, 12.1%. One-year health status significantly improved from baseline with successful CTO-PCI (angina frequency, 72.7 ± 26.5 at baseline to 96.0 ± 10.8, p < .0001). Compared with a performance goal derived from prior CTO DES trials (1-year hierarchal MACE, 25.2%), treatment with ZES was associated with significantly lower MACE (18.2%, one-sided upper CI, 23.6%, p = .017). CONCLUSIONS Favorable procedural success, health status improvements and late-term clinical outcomes inform the relative risks and benefits of CTO PCI when performed in a clinically indicated, complex patient population representative of those treated in clinical practice.

Abstract
Background Patients with chronic total occlusion (CTO) may not participate in regular exercise because of refractory angina. Exercise participation after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for CTO (CTO PCI) and the association of exercise with health status after CTO PCI is unknown. Methods and Results Overall, 1000 patients enrolled in the Outcomes, Patient Health Status, and Efficiency in Chronic Total Occlusion OPEN CTO is a registry were asked about participation in regular exercise at baseline and 12 months after CTO PCI, and the frequency of exercise (<1, 1–2, ≥3 times/week) was collected among exercisers. Health status was assessed using the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ). Multivariable regression assessed 12‐month health status change across 4 groups defined by exercise frequency at baseline and 12 months after CTO PCI (no regular exercise at baseline and 12 months, reduced, increased, and consistent exercise at 12 months). Among 869 patients with complete exercise data, the proportion that exercised regularly increased from 33.5% at baseline to 56.6% 12 months after CTO PCI (P<0.01). Predictors of regular exercise at 12 months included baseline exercise, smoking, baseline and increase in SAQ scores for angina frequency, physical limitation, quality of life, and summary. After multivariable adjustment, consistent or increased exercise frequency was associated with significantly greater improvement in SAQ scores for angina frequency, physical limitation, quality of life, and summary (P<0.01). Conclusions Participation in regular exercise increased significantly 12 months after CTO PCI, and patients who had greater health status benefit after PCI were more likely to exercise regularly at 12 months. CTO PCI may enable coronary artery disease patients with limiting symptoms to engage in regular exercise and to support better long‐term outcomes.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) disproportionately affects older adults. It is expected that by 2030, one in five people in the United States will be older than 65 years. Individuals with CVD now live longer due, in part, to current prevention and treatment approaches. Addressing the needs of older individuals requires inclusion and assessment of frailty, multimorbidity, depression, quality of life, and cognition. Despite the conceptual relevance and prognostic importance of these factors, they are seldom formally evaluated in clinical practice. Further, although these constructs coexist with traditional cardiovascular risk factors, their exact prevalence and prognostic impact remain largely unknown. Development of the right decision tools, which include these variables, can facilitate patient-centered care for older adults. These gaps in knowledge hinder optimal care use and underscore the need to rigorously evaluate the optimal constructs for providing care to older adults. In this review, we describe available tools to examine the prognostic role of age-related factors in patients with CVD.

Individualizing Revascularization Strategy for Diabetic Patients With Multivessel Coronary Disease. J Am Coll Cardiol 2020; 74:2074-2084. [PMID: 31623766 DOI: 10.1016/j.jacc.2019.07.083] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2019] [Revised: 07/22/2019] [Accepted: 07/29/2019] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In patients with diabetes and multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD), the FREEDOM (Future Revascularization Evaluation in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus: Optimal Management of Multivessel Disease) trial demonstrated that, on average, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) was superior to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for major acute cardiovascular events (MACE) and angina reduction. Nonetheless, multivessel PCI remains a common revascularization strategy in the real world. OBJECTIVES To translate the results of FREEDOM to individual patients in clinical practice, risk models of the heterogeneity of treatment benefit were built. METHODS Using patient-level data from 1,900 FREEDOM patients, the authors developed models to predict 5-year MACE (all-cause mortality, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and nonfatal stroke) and 1-year angina after CABG and PCI using baseline covariates and treatment interactions. Parsimonious models were created to support clinical use. The models were internally validated using bootstrap resampling, and the MACE model was externally validated in a large real-world registry. RESULTS The 5-year MACE occurred in 346 (18.2%) patients, and 310 (16.3%) had angina at 1 year. The MACE model included 8 variables and treatment interactions with smoking status (c = 0.67). External validation in stable CAD (c = 0.65) and ACS (c = 0.68) demonstrated comparable performance. The 6-variable angina model included a treatment interaction with SYNTAX score (c = 0.67). PCI was never superior to CABG, and CABG was superior to PCI for MACE in 54.5% of patients and in 100% of patients with history of smoking. CONCLUSIONS To help disseminate the results of FREEDOM, the authors created a personalized risk prediction tool for patients with diabetes and multivessel CAD that could be used in shared decision-making for CABG versus PCI by estimating each patient's personal outcomes with both treatments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic total occlusion (CTO) of a coronary artery is defined as an occluded segment with no antegrade flow and a known or estimated duration of at least 12 weeks. OBJECTIVE We considered the current literature describing the indications and clinical outcomes for denovo CTO- percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and discuss the role of CTO-PCI and future directions for this procedure. METHODS Databases (PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Embase, EBSCO, Web of Science, and CINAHL were searched and relevant studies of CTO-PCI were selected for review. RESULTS The prevalence of coronary artery CTO's has been reported to be ~ 20% among patients undergoing diagnostic coronary angiography for suspected coronary artery disease. Revascularization of any CTO can be technically challenging and a time-consuming procedure with relatively low success rates and may be associated with a higher incidence of complications, particularly at non-specialized centers. However, with an increase in experience and technological advances, several centers are now reporting success rates above 80% for these lesions. There is marked variability among studies in reporting outcomes for CTO-PCI with some reporting potential mortality benefit, better quality of life and improved cardiac function parameters. Anecdotally, properly selected patients who undergo a successful CTO-PCI most often have profound relief of ischemic symptoms. Intuitively, it makes sense to revascularize an occluded coronary artery with the goal of improving cardiovascular function and patient quality of life. CONCLUSION CTO-PCI is a rapidly expanding specialized procedure in interventional cardiology and is reasonable or indicated if the occluded vessel is responsible for symptoms or in selected patients with silent ischemia in whom there is a large amount of myocardium at risk and PCI is likely to be successful.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the ISCHEMIA-CKD trial, the primary analysis showed no significant difference in the risk of death or myocardial infarction with initial angiography and revascularization plus guideline-based medical therapy (invasive strategy) as compared with guideline-based medical therapy alone (conservative strategy) in participants with stable ischemic heart disease, moderate or severe ischemia, and advanced chronic kidney disease (an estimated glomerular filtration rate of <30 ml per minute per 1.73 m2 or receipt of dialysis). A secondary objective of the trial was to assess angina-related health status. METHODS We assessed health status with the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) before randomization and at 1.5, 3, and 6 months and every 6 months thereafter. The primary outcome of this analysis was the SAQ Summary score (ranging from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating less frequent angina and better function and quality of life). Mixed-effects cumulative probability models within a Bayesian framework were used to estimate the treatment effect with the invasive strategy. RESULTS Health status was assessed in 705 of 777 participants. Nearly half the participants (49%) had had no angina during the month before randomization. At 3 months, the estimated mean difference between the invasive-strategy group and the conservative-strategy group in the SAQ Summary score was 2.1 points (95% credible interval, -0.4 to 4.6), a result that favored the invasive strategy. The mean difference in score at 3 months was largest among participants with daily or weekly angina at baseline (10.1 points; 95% credible interval, 0.0 to 19.9), smaller among those with monthly angina at baseline (2.2 points; 95% credible interval, -2.0 to 6.2), and nearly absent among those without angina at baseline (0.6 points; 95% credible interval, -1.9 to 3.3). By 6 months, the between-group difference in the overall trial population was attenuated (0.5 points; 95% credible interval, -2.2 to 3.4). CONCLUSIONS Participants with stable ischemic heart disease, moderate or severe ischemia, and advanced chronic kidney disease did not have substantial or sustained benefits with regard to angina-related health status with an initially invasive strategy as compared with a conservative strategy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the ISCHEMIA trial, an invasive strategy with angiographic assessment and revascularization did not reduce clinical events among patients with stable ischemic heart disease and moderate or severe ischemia. A secondary objective of the trial was to assess angina-related health status among these patients. METHODS We assessed angina-related symptoms, function, and quality of life with the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) at randomization, at months 1.5, 3, and 6, and every 6 months thereafter in participants who had been randomly assigned to an invasive treatment strategy (2295 participants) or a conservative strategy (2322). Mixed-effects cumulative probability models within a Bayesian framework were used to estimate differences between the treatment groups. The primary outcome of this health-status analysis was the SAQ summary score (scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better health status). All analyses were performed in the overall population and according to baseline angina frequency. RESULTS At baseline, 35% of patients reported having no angina in the previous month. SAQ summary scores increased in both treatment groups, with increases at 3, 12, and 36 months that were 4.1 points (95% credible interval, 3.2 to 5.0), 4.2 points (95% credible interval, 3.3 to 5.1), and 2.9 points (95% credible interval, 2.2 to 3.7) higher with the invasive strategy than with the conservative strategy. Differences were larger among participants who had more frequent angina at baseline (8.5 vs. 0.1 points at 3 months and 5.3 vs. 1.2 points at 36 months among participants with daily or weekly angina as compared with no angina). CONCLUSIONS In the overall trial population with moderate or severe ischemia, which included 35% of participants without angina at baseline, patients randomly assigned to the invasive strategy had greater improvement in angina-related health status than those assigned to the conservative strategy. The modest mean differences favoring the invasive strategy in the overall group reflected minimal differences among asymptomatic patients and larger differences among patients who had had angina at baseline.

Outcomes of Chronic Total Occlusion Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Patients With Renal Dysfunction. Am J Cardiol 2020; 125:1046-1053. [PMID: 31955832 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjcard.2019.12.045] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2019] [Revised: 12/17/2019] [Accepted: 12/18/2019] [Indexed: 10/25/2022]
Abstract
Although contemporary chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is performed with high success rates, 10% to 13% of patients presenting with CTOs have chronic kidney disease (CKD), and the comparative safety, efficacy, and health status benefit of CTO PCI in these patients, has not been well defined. We examined the association of baseline renal function with periprocedural major adverse cardiovascular and cerebral events and health status outcomes in 957 consecutive patients (mean age 65.3 ± 10.3 years, 19.4% women, 90.3% white, 23.6 CKD [estimated glomerular filtration rate {eGFR} < 60]) in the OPEN-CTO (Outcomes, Patients Health Status, and Efficiency in Chronic Total Occlusions Registry) study. Hierarchical multivariable regression models were used to examine the independent association of baseline eGFR with technical success, periprocedural complications and change in health status, using Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) over 1 year. Crude rates of acute kidney injury were higher (13.5% vs 4.4%, p <0.001) and technical success lower (81.8% vs 88.4%, p = 0.01) in patients with CKD. There were no significant differences in other periprocedural complications. After adjustment for confounding factors, there was no significant association of baseline eGFR with technical success or periprocedural major adverse cardiovascular and cerebral events (death, myocardial infarction, emergent bypass surgery, stroke, perforation), whereas patients with lower eGFR had higher rates of acute kidney injury. The difference in SAQ summary score, between patients on the 10th and 90th percentile for baseline eGFR distribution was not clinically significant (1 month: -0.91; 1 year: -3.06 points). In conclusion, CTO PCI success, complication rates, and the health status improvement after CTO PCI are similar in patients across a range of baseline eGFRs.

Abstract
To investigate the relationship between life style, medication adherence and the development of in-stent restenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention.A total of 230 patients with coronary heart disease were recruited and investigated with semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire, international physical activity questionnaire, screening tool for psychological and Morisky questionnarie. Logistic regression was used for statistical analysis.Logistic regression analysis revealed that there was positive correlation between Morisky score (OR = 1.503), anger (OR = 1.135) and restenosis; and there was negative correlation between physical activity (OR = 0.346), folate intake (OR = 0.926), Vitamin C ingestion (OR = 0.881) and restenosis.The lifestyle and medication adherence of patients after percutaneous coronary intervention are predictors of restenosis, suggesting that it is necessary to strength intervention program to reduce restenosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC) has been used to identify individuals who are likely to benefit from percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for stable ischaemic heart disease. However, whether physicians reliably grade PCI appropriateness and whether AUC categories stratify symptomatic improvement in real-world practice are unclear. METHODS Patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs) for angina (Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ-7)), dyspnoea (Rose Dyspnea Scale (RDS)) and depression (Patient Health Questionnaire-2 (PHQ-2)) were collected on patients undergoing elective coronary angiography at an academic medical centre. Retrospectively, two physicians independently determined PCI appropriateness by the AUC criteria. RESULTS Inter-rater agreement on appropriateness was moderate (κ=0.48, 95% CI 0.32 to 0.63). Of PCI procedures evaluated, 57 (47.1%) were appropriate (A-PCI), 62 (51.2%) were maybe appropriate (MA-PCI) and 2 (1.6%) were rarely appropriate. At baseline, A-PCI compared with MA-PCI patients had worse RDS scores (2.0 vs 1.2, p=0.01). At 30 days, the change in SAQ-7 summary score was similar between groups (A-PCI vs MA-PCI, +27.1 vs +20.7, p=0.11). The mean change in RDS score was greater in A-PCI than MA-PCI (-1.0 vs -0.5, p for group by time interaction=0.03). PHQ-2 scores were similar and did not improve at 30 days. CONCLUSION In patients undergoing PCI with PROMs collected before and 30 days after PCI, similar improvements in angina were observed regardless of appropriateness. Inter-rater agreement on PCI appropriateness was only moderate. Use of PROMs may improve reliability of physician assessments of PCI appropriateness.

Abstract
Objectives The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that invasive coronary function testing at time of angiography could help stratify management of angina patients without obstructive coronary artery disease. Background Medical therapy for angina guided by invasive coronary vascular function testing holds promise, but the longer-term effects on quality of life and clinical events are unknown among patients without obstructive disease. Methods A total of 151 patients with angina with symptoms and/or signs of ischemia and no obstructive coronary artery disease were randomized to stratified medical therapy guided by an interventional diagnostic procedure versus standard care (control group with blinded interventional diagnostic procedure results). The interventional diagnostic procedure–facilitated diagnosis (microvascular angina, vasospastic angina, both, or neither) was linked to guideline-based management. Pre-specified endpoints included 1-year patient-reported outcome measures (Seattle Angina Questionnaire, quality of life [EQ-5D]) and major adverse cardiac events (all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, unstable angina hospitalization or revascularization, heart failure hospitalization, and cerebrovascular event) at subsequent follow-up. Results Between November 2016 and December 2017, 151 patients with ischemia and no obstructive coronary artery disease were randomized (n = 75 to the intervention group, n = 76 to the control group). At 1 year, overall angina (Seattle Angina Questionnaire summary score) improved in the intervention group by 27% (difference 13.6 units; 95% confidence interval: 7.3 to 19.9; p < 0.001). Quality of life (EQ-5D index) improved in the intervention group relative to the control group (mean difference 0.11 units [18%]; 95% confidence interval: 0.03 to 0.19; p = 0.010). After a median follow-up duration of 19 months (interquartile range: 16 to 22 months), major adverse cardiac events were similar between the groups, occurring in 9 subjects (12%) in the intervention group and 8 (11%) in the control group (p = 0.803). Conclusions Stratified medical therapy in patients with ischemia and no obstructive coronary artery disease leads to marked and sustained angina improvement and better quality of life at 1 year following invasive coronary angiography.

Abstract
PURPOSE Many patients with acute coronary syndrome may experience recurrent myocardial infarction although they are receiving optional therapy, but they are still associated with poor clincial outcomes. The goal of this study was to assess different antiplatelet strategies in these patients. METHODS This retrospective trial compared ticagrelor (180-mg loading dose, 90-mg BID maintenance dose) and clopidogrel (300- to 600-mg loading dose, 150-mg daily maintenance dose) for the prevention of cardiovascular events in 1083 patients with acute coronary syndrome and recurrent myocardial infarction admitted to the hospital undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. FINDINGS At the 24-month follow-up, a major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular event (MACCE) occurred in 10.5% of patients receiving ticagrelor compared with 13.2% in the clopidogrel group (P = 0.023). Meanwhile, ticagrelor caused a higher rate of minor bleeding (18.1% vs 15.3%; P = 0.008). A survival analysis showed that ticagrelor decreased the incidence of MACCE (log-rank test, P < 0.001) and all-cause death (log-rank test, P = 0.001). The advantage of ticagrelor was also presented according to analysis of Seattle Angina Questionnaire scores. IMPLICATIONS In patients with recurrent myocardial infarction, the ticagrelor antiplatelet strategy significantly reduced the MACCE rate without increasing the risk of major bleeding, although patients did have a higher risk of minor bleeding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a therapy to reduce angina and improve quality of life in patients with stable ischemic heart disease. However, it is unclear whether the quality of life after PCI is more dependent on the PCI or other patient-related factors. To address this question, we created models to predict angina and quality of life 1 year after PCI and medical therapy. METHODS AND RESULTS Using data from the 2287 stable ischemic heart disease patients randomized in the COURAGE trial (Clinical Outcomes Utilizing Revascularization and Aggressive Drug Evaluation) to PCI plus optimal medical therapy (OMT) versus OMT alone, we built prediction models for 1-year Seattle Angina Questionnaire angina frequency, physical limitation, and quality of life scores, both as continuous outcomes and categorized by clinically desirable states, using multivariable techniques. Although most patients improved regardless of treatment, marked variability was observed in Seattle Angina Questionnaire scores 1 year after randomization. Adding PCI conferred a greater mean improvement (about 2 points) in Seattle Angina Questionnaire scores that were not affected by patient characteristics (P values for all interactions >0.05). The proportion of patients free of angina or having very good/excellent physical limitation (physical function) or quality of life at 1 year was 57%, 58%, 66% with PCI+OMT and 50%, 55%, 59% with OMT alone group, respectively. However, other characteristics, such as baseline symptoms, age, diabetes mellitus, and the magnitude of myocardium subtended by narrowed coronary arteries were as, or more, important than revascularization in predicting symptoms (partial R2=0.07 versus 0.29, 0.03 versus 0.22, and 0.05 versus 0.24 in the domain of angina frequency, physical limitation, and quality of life, respectively). There was modest/good discrimination of the models (C statistic=0.72-0.82) and excellent calibration (coefficients of determination for predicted versus observed deciles=0.83-0.97). CONCLUSIONS The health status outcomes of stable ischemic heart disease patients treated by OMT+PCI versus OMT alone can be predicted with modest accuracy. Angina and quality of life at 1 year is improved by PCI but is more strongly associated with other patient characteristics. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alcohol use is associated with angina incidence, but associations between alcohol use and experience of angina among patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) have not been described. METHODS Outpatients with CAD from 7 clinics in the Veterans Health Administration were surveyed; alcohol use was measured using the validated Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test-Consumption scores categorized into 6 groups: nondrinking, low-risk drinking, and mild, moderate, severe, and very severe unhealthy alcohol use. Three domains of self-reported angina symptoms (frequency, stability, and physical function) were measured with the Seattle Angina Questionnaire. Linear regression models evaluated associations between alcohol use groups and angina symptoms. Models were adjusted first for age and then additionally for smoking, comorbidities, and depression. RESULTS Patients (n = 8303) had a mean age of 66 years. In age-adjusted analyses, a U-shaped association was observed between alcohol use groups and all angina outcomes, with patients in nondrinking and severe unhealthy alcohol groups reporting the greatest angina symptoms and lowest functioning. After full adjustment, no clinically important and few statistically important differences were observed across alcohol use in angina stability or frequency. Patients in the nondrinking group had statistically greater functional limitation from angina than those in all groups of unhealthy alcohol use, though differences were small. Patients in all groups of unhealthy alcohol use did not differ significantly from those with low-risk drinking. CONCLUSIONS Alcohol use was associated with some small statistically but no clinically important differences in angina symptoms among patients with CAD. This cross-sectional study does not support a protective effect of low-level drinking on self-reported angina.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Successful chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) can markedly reduce angina symptom burden, but many patients often remain on multiple antianginal medications (AAMs) after the procedure. It is unclear when, or if, AAMs can be de-escalated to prevent adverse effects or limit polypharmacy. We examined the association of de-escalation of AAMs after CTO PCI with long-term health status. METHODS In a 12-center registry of consecutive CTO PCI patients, health status was assessed at 6 months after successful CTO PCI with the Seattle Angina Questionnaire and the Rose Dyspnea Scale. Among patients with technical CTO PCI success, we examined the association of AAM de-escalation with 6-month health status using multivariable models adjusting for revascularization completeness and predicted risk of post-PCI angina (using a validated risk model). We also examined predictors and variability of AAMs de-escalation. RESULTS Of 669 patients with technical success of CTO PCI, AAMs were de-escalated in 276 (35.9%) patients at 1 month. Patients with AAM de-escalation reported similar angina and dyspnea rates at 6 months compared with those whose AAMs were reduced (any angina: 22.5% vs 20%, P = .43; any dyspnea: 51.8% vs 50.1%, P = .40). In a multivariable model adjusting for complete revascularization and predicted risk of post-PCI angina, de-escalation of AAMs at 1 month was not associated with an increased risk of angina, dyspnea, or worse health status at 6 months. CONCLUSIONS Among patients with successful CTO PCI, de-escalation of AAMs occurred in about one-third of patients at 1 month and was not associated with worse long-term health status.

Abstract
Background Prior research has shown that providers may infrequently adjust antianginal medications (AAMs) following chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Patient characteristics associated with AAM titration and the variation in postprocedure AAM management after CTO PCI across hospitals have not been reported. We sought to determine the frequency and potential correlates of AAM escalation and de-escalation after CTO PCI. Methods and Results Using the 12-center OPEN CTO registry (Outcomes, Patient Health Status, and Efficiency iN Chronic Total Occlusion Hybrid Procedures), we assessed AAM use at baseline and 6 months after CTO PCI. Escalation was defined as any addition of a new class of AAM or dose increase, whereas de-escalation was defined as a reduction in the number of AAMs or dose reduction. Angina was assessed 6 months after the index CTO PCI attempt using the Seattle Angina Questionnaire Angina Frequency domain. Potential correlates of AAM escalation (vs no change) or de-escalation (vs no change) were evaluated using multivariable modified Poisson regression models. Adjusted variation across sites was evaluated using median rate ratios. AAMs were escalated in 158 (17.5%), de-escalated in 351 (39.0%), and were unchanged at 6-month follow-up in 392 (43.5%). Patient characteristics associated with escalation included lung disease, ongoing angina, and periprocedural major adverse cardiac and cerebral events (periprocedural myocardial infarction, stroke, death, emergent cardiac surgery, or clinically significant perforation), whereas de-escalation was more frequent among patients taking more AAMs, those treated with complete revascularization, and after treatment of non-CTO lesions at the time of the index procedure. There was minimal variation in either escalation (median rate ratio, 1.11; P=0.36) or de-escalation (median rate ratio, 1.10; P=0.20) compared to no change of AAMs across sites. Conclusions Escalation or de-escalation of AAMs was less common than continuation following CTO PCI, with little variation across sites. Further research is needed to identify patients who may benefit from AAM titration after CTO PCI and develop strategies to adjust these medications in follow-up.

Anti-anginal medication titration among patients with residual angina 6-months after chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary intervention: insights from OPEN CTO registry. EUROPEAN HEART JOURNAL. QUALITY OF CARE & CLINICAL OUTCOMES 2019; 5:370-379. [DOI: 10.1093/ehjqcco/qcz015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2019] [Revised: 03/05/2019] [Accepted: 03/18/2019] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
Abstract
Aims
Chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been shown to reduce angina and improve quality of life, but the frequency of new or residual angina after CTO PCI and its relationship with titration of anti-anginal medications (AAMs) has not been described.
Methods and results
Among consecutive CTO PCI patients treated at 12 US centres in the OPEN CTO registry, angina was assessed 6 months after the index PCI using the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) Angina Frequency scale (a score <100 defined new or residual angina). We then compared the proportion of patients with AAM escalation (defined as an increase in the number or dosage of AAMs between discharge and follow-up) between those with and without 6-month angina. Of 901 patients who underwent CTO PCI, 197 (21.9%) reported angina at 6-months, of whom 80 (40.6%) had de-escalation, 66 (33.5%) had no change, and only 51 (25.9%) had escalation of their AAM by the 6-month follow-up. Rates of AAM escalation were similar when stratifying patients by the ultimate success of the CTO PCI, completeness of physiologic revascularization, presence or absence of angina at baseline, history of heart failure, and by degree of symptomatic improvement after CTO PCI.
Conclusions
One in five patients reported angina 6 months after CTO PCI. Although patients with new or residual angina were more likely to have escalation of AAMs in follow-up compared with those without residual symptoms, only one in four patients with residual angina had escalation of AAMs. Although it is unclear whether this finding reflects maximal tolerated therapy at baseline or therapeutic inertia, these findings suggest an important potential opportunity to further improve symptom control in patients with complex stable ischaemic heart disease.

Abstract
Introduction Value-based contracts (VBCs) that link drug payments to disease-related performance metrics aim to increase the value and lower the cost of medications by aligning incentives and sharing risk between payers and pharmaceutical manufacturers. This study sought to identify outcome measures that are meaningful to key stakeholders to inform VBCs for coronary artery disease (CAD) medications. Methods We administered a modified Delphi survey to gather expert opinion from a diverse panel of patients (n = 9), cardiologists (n = 4), primary care physicians (n = 5), payers (n = 2), pharmacy benefits managers (n = 3), and pharmaceutical company representatives (n = 2). A list of 16 CAD-associated clinical indicators was generated from the literature and expert consultation. Delphi participants rated the importance of each outcome on a five-point Likert scale, and selected the three most meaningful outcomes. We defined consensus as ≥ 75% agreement on the importance of an outcome (Likert scores 4 or 5 or selection of an outcome as most meaningful). Results Eleven of 13 outcomes reached consensus for importance on the Likert scale. “Preventing heart attacks” was selected as the most meaningful outcome (80%) while “preventing death” ranked second (76%). Conclusions Our study results verify the utility of a widely used clinical CAD outcome measure, myocardial infarction events, for the purpose of pharmaceutical value-based contracting.

Index of microvascular resistance to assess the effect of rosuvastatin on microvascular function in women with chest pain and no obstructive coronary artery disease: A double-blind randomized study. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv 2019; 94:660-668. [PMID: 30790446 DOI: 10.1002/ccd.28157] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2018] [Revised: 01/19/2019] [Accepted: 02/06/2019] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Many women undergoing coronary angiography for chest pain have no or only minimal coronary artery disease (CAD). However, despite the lack of obstructive CAD, they still have an increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events. Pleiotropic effects of statins may influence microvascular function, but if statins improve microvascular function in unselected chest pain patients is not well studied. This study assessed microvascular function by using the thermodilution-derived test "the index of microvascular resistance" (IMR) with the aim of determining the (i) IMR level in women with chest pain and non-obstructive CAD and if (ii) IMR is modified by high-dose statin treatment in these patients. Additional objectives were to identify the influence of statins on the health status as assessed with generic health questionnaires and on biomarkers of endothelial activation. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was a randomized, double-blind, single-center trial comparing 6 months of rosuvastatin treatment with placebo. In total, 66 women without obstructive CAD were included. Mean age was 52.7 years and 55.5 years in the placebo and rosuvastatin group, respectively. Microvascular function was assessed using the IMR, health status was assessed using the SF-36 and EQ-5D questionnaires, and biochemical values were assessed at baseline and 6 months later. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS In the placebo group IMR was 14.6 (SD 5.7) at baseline and 14.4 (SD 6.5) at follow-up. In the rosuvastatin group IMR was 16.5 (SD 7.5) at baseline and 14.2 (SD 5.8) at follow-up. IMR did not differ significantly between the two study groups at follow-up controlled for preintervention values. C-reactive protein (CRP) was comparable between the groups at baseline, while at follow-up CRP was significantly lower in the rosuvastatin group compared to placebo [0.6 (±0.5) mg/L vs. 2.6 (±3.0) mg/L; p = 0.002]. Whereas rosuvastatin treatment for 6 months attenuated CRP levels, it did not improve microvascular function as assessed by IMR (Clinical Trials.gov NCT01582165, EUDRACT 2011-002630-39.3tcAZ).
