Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Uric acid to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (UHR) is a novel index of metabolism and inflammation proposed by recent studies. The prognostic value of UHR is undetermined in patients with coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO). The aim of this study was to investigate the association of UHR with adverse cardiovascular events in patients with CTO. METHODS AND RESULTS In this retrospective cohort study, we enrolled 566 patients with CTO lesion in our hospital from January 2016 to December 2019. Patients were divided into three groups based on UHR level. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE), defined as a combination of death, non-fatal MI, target vessel revascularization (TVR), and non-fatal stroke. The median follow-up time of this study was 43 months. During the follow-up, 107 (18.9%) MACEs were recorded. Kaplan-Meier survival plots show the cumulative incidence of MACE-free decreased across tertile of UHR (log-rank test, p < 0.001). In the fully adjusted model, the Hazard ratio (95% CI) of MACE was 2.16 (1.17-3.99) in tertile 3 and 2.01 (1.62-2.49) for per SD increase in UHR. CONCLUSION Elevated UHR predicts an increasing risk of MACE in patients with CTO. UHR is a simple and reliable indicator for risk stratification and early intervention in CTO patients.

Sex differences between serum uric acid levels and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease after stent implantation. Front Cardiovasc Med 2023; 10:1021277. [PMID: 36815018 PMCID: PMC9939523 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2023.1021277] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2022] [Accepted: 01/16/2023] [Indexed: 02/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The relationship between elevated serum uric acid (SUA) levels and cardiovascular outcomes after stent implantation remains uncertain. This study sought to evaluate the impact of SUA on 12-month cardiovascular outcomes after stent implantation. Methods We performed a retrospective study of patients who successfully underwent stent implantation and enrolled 3,222 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) from a single center. SUA levels were measured before stent implantation. The patients were divided into six groups (<4, 4-4.9, 5-5.9, 6-6.9, 7-7.9 and ≥ 8 mg/dL) at SUA intervals of 1.0 mg/dL. The incidence of cardiovascular outcomes in the six groups was monitored for 1 year after stent implantation and the hazard ratios were estimated. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) for cardiovascular outcomes were estimated using a Cox proportional hazard regression analysis. The primary endpoint was all-cause death. The secondary endpoint was a composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization, stent thrombosis and stroke. The follow-up duration was 12 months. Results Over the 12-month follow-up period, there were 101 all-cause deaths and 218 MACCE. After adjustment for several parameters, the group with SUA levels of more than or equal to 8 mg/dL had significantly higher hazard ratios in the incidence of all-cause death or MACCE. The group with <4.0 mg/dL had significantly higher hazard ratios in all-cause death only in male patients. In contrast, there were no significant differences observed for cardiovascular outcomes in female patients. Conclusions Our study identified a U-shaped association between SUA levels and cardiovascular outcomes during 12-month follow-up for males, but not for females. Further studies are warranted to clarify the sex differences between SUA levels and clinical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of serum uric acid (SUA) as an independent risk factor for coronary artery disease remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the SUA levels could affect the incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS AND RESULTS We retrospectively examined the clinical records of 1,949 patients who underwent successful PCI. First, they were divided into two groups based on an SUA level of 7.0mg/dl. Among the two groups, the incidence of MACE was measured for a maximum of 5 years after PCI. Next, we divided them into 6 groups at SUA intervals of 1.0mg/dl and estimated the hazard ratios of each group. The Kaplan-Meier curve demonstrated that patients with SUA levels of >7.0mg/dl had a higher incidence of MACE than those with 7.0mg/dl or less. However, according to the multivariate analysis, the SUA level was not significantly correlated with the incidence of MACE because other factors could strongly affect it. Meanwhile, the group with SUA levels between 4.1-5.0mg/dl had a lower hazard ratio compared to groups with SUA levels of more than 5.1mg/dl. However, the hazard ratio of the group with SUA levels of 4.0mg or less was not lower than that of the group with SUA levels of 4.1-5.0mg/dl. Even after adjustment for several parameters, nearly the same results before adjustment were obtained for the hazard ratios of each group. CONCLUSION The present study demonstrated that the SUA level was one of the most valuable predictors of cardiovascular events after PCI, with elevated SUA levels adversely affecting secondary prevention.

Li GH. Effects of Tirofiban and Nicorandil on Effective Reperfusion and the Levels of IL-4 and sICAM-1 After PCI for Chronic Coronary Total Occlusion. CARDIOVASCULAR INNOVATIONS AND APPLICATIONS 2021. [DOI: 10.15212/cvia.2021.0033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Aim: The effects of tirofiban combined with nicorandil on effective reperfusion, and the levels of interleukin-4 (IL-4)and soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for chronic coronary total occlusion (CTO) were investigated.Method: From January 1, 2017, to June 31, 2019, a total of 40 patients with CTO receiving PCI in Shandong QianfoshanHospital were randomly divided into a control group (treated with single tirofiban) and a cocktail group (treated with nicorandil combined with tirofiban). Effective reperfusion was compared between groups. In addition, differences in coronary serum IL-4 and sICAM-1 levels before and 10 min after the operation were compared between groups, and the incidence rates of adverse reactions were observed. Finally, patient follow-up occurred at 1 month and 6 months, and the total incidence rates of adverse cardiac events in both groups were assessed.Results: The levels of IL-4 and sICAM-1 in the cocktail group significantly decreased after the operation (P < 0.05).In addition, after the operation, significantly greater decreases in the IL-4 and sICAM-1 levels were observed in thecocktail group than the control group (P < 0.05). The Seattle Angina Scale (SAQ) score of the cocktail group, comparedwith the control group, showed a significant improvement after vessel opening in the patients with CTO. At the 1-month follow-up, the SAQ score of the cocktail group, compared with the control group, indicated further improvements in terms of angina attack frequency. No significant differences were observed in the incidence rates of adverse reactions between groups (P > 0.05).Conclusion: The treatment of patients with CTO undergoing PCI with nicorandil and tirofiban alleviated the inflammatoryresponse, improved the SAQ scores, and decreased the occurrence of angina pectoris in patients. Moreover, this treatment is safe and reliable, and has important clinical significance.

Abstract
Uric acid, the end-product of purine metabolism in humans, is not only a cause of gout, but also may play roles in developing cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, atrial fibrillation, chronic kidney disease, heart failure, coronary artery disease, and cardiovascular death. Several clinical investigations have reported serum uric acid as a predictive marker for cardiovascular outcomes. Although the causal relationship of hyperuricemia to cardiovascular diseases remains controversial, there has been a growing interest in uric acid because of the increased prevalence of hyperuricemia worldwide. This review article summarizes current evidence concerning the relation between hyperuricemia and cardiovascular diseases.
