Current US prevalence of myocardial injury patterns and clinical outcomes among hospitalised patients with familial hypercholesterolaemia: insight from the National Inpatient Sample-a retrospective cohort study. BMJ Open 2024; 14:e077839. [PMID: 38806434 PMCID: PMC11138297 DOI: 10.1136/bmjopen-2023-077839] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2023] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 05/30/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) increases propensity for premature atherosclerotic disease. Knowledge of inpatient outcomes among patients with FH admitted with acute myocardial injury (AMI) is limited. OBJECTIVES Our study aimed to identify myocardial injury types, including type 1 myocardial infarction (MI), type 2 MI and takotsubo cardiomyopathy, assess lesion severity and study adverse short-term inpatient outcomes among patients with FH admitted with AMI. SETTING Our study retrospectively queried the US National Inpatient Sample from 2018 to 2020. POPULATION Adults admitted with AMI and dichotomised based on the presence of FH. STUDY OUTCOMES We evaluated myocardial injury types and complexity of coronary revascularisation. Primary outcome of all-cause mortality and other clinical secondary outcomes were studied. RESULTS There were 3 711 765 admissions with AMI including 2360 (0.06%) with FH. FH was associated with higher odds of ST-elevation MI (STEMI) (adjusted OR (aOR): 1.62, p<0.001) and non-ST-elevation MI (NSTEMI) (aOR: 1.29, p<0.001) but lower type 2 MI (aOR: 0.39, p<0.001) and takotsubo cardiomyopathy (aOR: 0.36, p=0.004). FH was associated with higher multistent percutaneous coronary interventions (aOR: 2.36, p<0.001), multivessel coronary artery bypass (aOR: 2.65, p<0.001), higher odds of intracardiac thrombus (aOR: 3.28, p=0.038) and mechanical circulatory support (aOR: 1.79, p<0.001). There was 50% reduction in odds of all-cause mortality (aOR: 0.50, p=0.006) and lower odds of mechanical ventilation (aOR: 0.37, p<0.001). There was no difference in rate of ventricular tachycardia, cardioversion, new implantable cardioverter defibrillator implantation, cardiogenic shock and cardiac arrest. CONCLUSION Among patients hospitalised with AMI, FH was associated with higher STEMI and NSTEMI, lower type 2 MI and takotsubo cardiomyopathy, higher number of multiple stents and coronary bypasses, and mechanical circulatory support device but was associated with lower all-cause mortality and rate of mechanical ventilation.

Sex differences in trends and in-hospital outcomes of acute myocardial infarction in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia: insights from a large national database. Expert Rev Cardiovasc Ther 2024; 22:193-200. [PMID: 38459907 DOI: 10.1080/14779072.2024.2329720] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2023] [Accepted: 03/08/2024] [Indexed: 03/11/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sex differences in clinical outcomes following acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are well known. However, data on sex differences among patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) are limited. We aimed to explore sex differences in outcomes of AMI among patients with FH from a national administrative dataset. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We utilized the National Inpatient Sample to identify admissions with a primary diagnosis of AMI and a secondary diagnosis of FH. Our primary outcome of interest was in-hospital mortality; secondary outcomes were performance of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), respiratory complications, use of inotropes, use of mechanical circulatory support (MCS), bleeding complications, transfusion and facility discharge. We adjusted for demographics (model A), comorbidities (model B), and intervention (model C). RESULTS Between October 2016 and December 2020, 5,714,993 admissions with a primary diagnosis of AMI were identified, of which 3,035 (0.05%) had a secondary diagnosis of FH. In-hospital mortality did not differ between men and women (Model C, adjusted OR = 0.85; 95% CI 0.28-2.60, p = 0.773). There was no sex difference in the secondary outcomes. CONCLUSION Despite generally being older and having more comorbidities, women with FH fair equally with men with FH in terms of mortality during AMI admission.

Characteristics and clinical outcomes of patients with sarcoidosis admitted for ST-elevation myocardial infarction in the United States: a propensity matched analysis from the National Inpatient Sample. Arch Med Sci Atheroscler Dis 2024; 9:e47-e55. [PMID: 38846054 PMCID: PMC11155460 DOI: 10.5114/amsad/184701] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2024] [Accepted: 02/20/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory disorder characterised by non-caseating granulomas. Cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) normally causes conduction abnormalities, ventricular arrhythmias, and heart failure. Little is known about the characteristics and impact of sarcoidosis in patients admitted with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). This study aims to fill this void. Material and methods Utilising the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database (2016-2020), individuals with STEMI were identified and categorised based on sarcoidosis presence whilst adjusting for confounders via logistic regression models. Results Among 851,290 STEMI patients, 1215 had sarcoidosis. Before propensity matching, sarcoidosis patients were notably different in demographics and comorbidities compared to non-sarcoidosis patients. After propensity score matching (PSM), sarcoidosis patients were found to have a higher incidence of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) (2.5% vs. 1.3%, p = 0.024) and acute kidney injury (AKI) (23.3% vs. 20.8%, aOR = 1.269, 95% CI: 1.02-1.58, p = 0.033) but a lower incidence of undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) (5.5% vs. 8.5%, aOR = 0.663; 95% CI: 0.472-0.931, p = 0.018), while no significant disparities were noted in PCI, cardiogenic shock, mortality, or mean length of stay (LOS). Conclusions Using propensity-matched large real-world data of STEMI patients, sarcoidosis was associated with fewer cases of CABG and a greater incidence of AKI and SVT compared to non-sarcoidosis patients.

[PMID: 35364619 DOI: 10.1111/scd.12718] [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: 03/04/2022] [Accepted: 03/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
Mönckeberg medial calcinosis (MMC) is a potentially serious vasculopathy involving calcification of the arterial tunica media of the extremities, heart, and other viscera. There are a limited number of cases reported in the dental literature, usually associated with the facial artery. Although MMC is often discerned as an occult radiologic finding in middle-aged adults, its presence may serve as a harbinger for end-stage renal disease, diabetes, other pathologic processes, and possible regional hypoperfusion. The objective of this report is to feature an elderly patient with MMC of the facial and infraorbital arteries. In addition, a brief review of published cases of MMC and its differential diagnosis have been provided. It is recommended that affected patients be referred for a comprehensive medical assessment. Timely discovery of calcified arteries may improve patient outcomes.
