Thromb Haemost 2024; 124:501-516. [PMID: 38158199 PMCID: PMC11126334 DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1777794] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2023] [Accepted: 10/27/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND East Asians (EAs), compared to white Caucasians (W), have a lower risk of ischemic heart disease and a higher risk of bleeding with antithrombotic medications. The underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood. OBJECTIVES We sought to compare thrombotic profiles of EA and W patients with myocardial infarction (MI) and relate these to cardiovascular outcomes. METHODS In a prospective study in the United Kingdom and Korea, blood samples from patients (n = 515) with ST- or non-ST-elevation MI (STEMI and NSTEMI) were assessed using the Global Thrombosis Test, measuring thrombotic occlusion (OT) and endogenous fibrinolysis (lysis time [LT]). Patients were followed for 1 year for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and bleeding. RESULTS EA patients showed reduced OT (longer OT) compared to W (646 seconds [470-818] vs. 436 seconds [320-580], p < 0.001), with similar LT. In STEMI, OT (588 seconds [440-759] vs. 361 seconds [274-462], p < 0.001) and LT (1,854 seconds [1,389-2,729] vs. 1,338 seconds [1,104-1,788], p < 0.001) were longer in EA than W. In NSTEMI, OT was longer (OT: 734 seconds [541-866] vs. 580 seconds [474-712], p < 0.001) and LT shorter (1519 seconds [1,058-2,508] vs. 1,898 seconds [1,614-2,806], p = 0.004) in EA than W patients. MACE was more frequent in W than EA (6.3 vs. 1.9%, p = 0.014) and bleeding infrequent. While OT was unrelated, LT was a strong independent predictor of MACE event after adjustment for risk factors (hazard ratio: 3.70, 95% confidence interval: 1.43-9.57, p = 0.007), predominantly in W patients, and more so in STEMI than NSTEMI patients. CONCLUSION EA patients exhibit different global thrombotic profiles to W, associated with a lower rate of cardiovascular events.

[PMID: 38555552 DOI: 10.1007/s11239-024-02965-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 03/08/2024] [Indexed: 04/02/2024]
Abstract
Low-dose prasugrel demonstrated a similar effectiveness profile to clopidogrel in East Asian ACS patients, but its comparison with another new-generation potent P2Y12 inhibitor, ticagrelor, remains unclear. To compare the effectiveness and safety of low-dose prasugrel against those of standard-dose ticagrelor in East Asian patients with ACS. This retrospective cohort study used Taiwan's National Health and Welfare Database. This study included ACS patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention and, at discharge between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2020, were prescribed with low-dose prasugrel plus aspirin or standard-dose ticagrelor plus aspirin. Stabilized inverse probability of treatment weighting was used to balance the covariates across these two groups. The primary effectiveness outcome was a composite of acute myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, and cardiovascular death; the secondary effectiveness outcome was each of the individual components of the primary outcome, transient ischemic attack, and repeat revascularization. The primary safety outcome was a composite of intracranial hemorrhage and gastrointestinal bleeding, and the two secondary safety outcomes were intracranial hemorrhage and gastrointestinal bleeding. A total of 24,807 patients were included in this study. Among them, 1,493 were low-dose prasugrel users and 23,314 were standard-dose ticagrelor users. No significant differences were found in primary effectiveness [HR: 0.97 (0.74-1.28)] or primary safety outcomes [HR: 1.22 (0.73-2.01)] between the two study groups. For East Asian patients with ACS, low-dose prasugrel provides comparable effectiveness without increasing bleeding risk compared to standard-dose ticagrelor. Low-dose prasugrel may be an appropriate alternative for East Asian populations.

[PMID: 37682162 PMCID: PMC10489488 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000035099] [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: 12/22/2020] [Accepted: 08/16/2023] [Indexed: 09/09/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of short-term high-dose of dual antiplatelet therapy after 0.6 mg/kg rt-PA intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke (AIS). METHODS All 208 patients with AIS were randomized into group 1 (103 cases, after 0.6 mg/kg rt-PA, 300 mg of oral aspirin(ASP) q.d. and 225 mg of oral clopidogrel (CLO) q.d. for for 5 days, then 100 mg of oral ASP q.d. for the next 85 days and 75 mg of oral CLO q.d. for the next 16 days) and group 2 (105 cases, after 0.9 mg/kg rt-PA, 100 mg of oral ASP q.d. for 90 days and 75 mg of oral CLO q.d. for 21 days).The efficacy index was the mRS score, NIHSS score and recurrence risk of stroke, while the safety index was the incidence of bleeding events and mortality. All parameters were evaluated at 30 and 90 days after thrombolysis. Patients whose characteristics may provide the best treatment benefit were further analyzed using the logistic regression model in group 1. RESULTS The proportion of mRS scores between 0 and 1 in group 1 was higher than that in group 2 at both 30 days (44.7% vs 32.4%, P < .05) and 90 days (50.5% vs 35.2%, P < .05). Compared to group 2, the proportion of NIHSS scores less than 4 was significantly higher in group 1 at both 30 days (37.9% vs 25.7%, P < .05) and 90 days (46.6% vs 30.5%, P < .05). At 90 days, Group 1 had a lower stroke recurrence risk than Group 2 (3.9% vs 10.5%, P < .05). The incidence of SICH was significantly different between the 2 groups at both 30 days (2.9% vs 9.5%, P < .05) and 90 days (2.9% vs 10.5%, P < .05). However, other bleeding events and mortality rates were not significantly different between the 2 groups. The lower the baseline NIHSS score and the shorter the OTT, the more favorable the outcomes obtained at 90 days. CONCLUSIONS Compared to standard doses, short term high-dose dual antiplatelet therapy after 0.6 mg/kg rt-PA intravenous thrombolysis may be a good choice for AIS patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES To compare the long-term clinical outcomes of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with clopidogrel and DAPT with ticagrelor or prasugrel in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) who underwent coronary intervention. METHODS Between November 2011 and December 2015, a total of 13,104 patients with AMI were enrolled in the Korea Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry-National Institutes of Health (KAMIR-NIH) registry. Among them, 4,696 patients who received DAPT for more than 24 months were categorized into two groups: the clopidogrel group (n = 4,053) and ticagrelor or prasugrel group (n = 643). Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to reduce the bias due to confounding variables. Following PSM, the impacts of P2Y12 inhibitors on the clinical outcomes in both groups were compared during a 36-month clinical follow-up period. RESULTS There were no significant differences in clinical outcomes in terms of cardiac death (7.1% vs. 9.7%, p = 0.101), stroke (1.4% vs. 1.0%, p = 0.436), major bleeding (0.5% vs. 0.8%, p = 0.478), major adverse cardiac events (MACE) (21.6% vs. 20.5%, p = 0.626), and net adverse cardiac event (NACE) (22.1% vs. 21.3%, p = 0.731) between the groups. The ticagrelor or prasugrel group had a lower incidence of recurrent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (12.2% vs. 7.6%, p = 0.006) than the clopidogrel group. However, no differences were observed in the cumulative incidences of 3-year NACE between the ticagrelor or prasugrel and clopidogrel groups. CONCLUSIONS Cumulative incidences of long-term NACE did not differ between the two groups. Therefore, the type and duration of DAPT should be customized for each patient with AMI.

Efficacy and Safety of Clopidogrel Versus Ticagrelor for Stabilized Patients With Acute Coronary Syndromes After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Results From a Real-World Registry in China. J Cardiovasc Pharmacol 2023; 81:134-140. [PMID: 36410041 DOI: 10.1097/fjc.0000000000001381] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2022] [Accepted: 10/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The first 3 months after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a high-risk period for adverse events, including ischemic and bleeding events, which decrease greatly with time. It is worth investigating whether the use of potent P2Y12 inhibitors is necessary after the early stage. The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in clinical outcomes between clopidogrel and ticagrelor in stable patients without ischemic or major bleeding events during the first 3 months after PCI. METHODS Data for this study were obtained from the PHARM-ACS registry (NCT04184583). Patients who were free from ischemic and major bleeding events in the first 3 months after PCI were enrolled. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) and Cox proportional hazards model were applied to compare the differences in clinical outcomes between the 2 groups. Major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) were considered the primary end point, and major bleeding was considered the secondary end point. RESULTS A total of 6662 patients were included in this study. Of these, 3465 were treated with clopidogrel plus aspirin (clopidogrel group) and 3197 with ticagrelor plus aspirin (ticagrelor group). There were no significant differences in MACCE after IPTW adjustment for baseline variables (IPTW-adjusted HR, 1.06; 95% CI, 0.90-1.25) or major bleeding events (IPTW-adjusted HR, 0.97; 95% CI, 0.67-1.41) between the 2 groups. However, the incidence of minor bleeding in the clopidogrel group was significantly lower than that in the ticagrelor group (IPTW-adjusted HR, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.59-0.71). CONCLUSION In patients with ACS who were free from ischemic or major bleeding events during the first 3 months after PCI, the subsequent clopidogrel treatment might reduce minor bleeding events without increasing the risk of MACCE compared with ticagrelor. However, the results still need to be confirmed by large randomized controlled studies in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is still unknown whether diabetes mellitus (DM) affects the relative safety and efficacy of ticagrelor vs clopidogrel in East Asian patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). OBJECTIVES The authors sought to assess the safety and efficacy of ticagrelor vs clopidogrel according to the diabetic status of East Asian patients with ACS undergoing invasive management. METHODS This prespecified analysis of the TICA KOREA (Clinically Significant Bleeding With Ticagrelor Versus Clopidogrel in Korean Patients With Acute Coronary Syndromes Intended for Invasive Management) trial included 800 Korean patients. The primary safety endpoint was clinically significant bleeding (PLATO [Platelet Inhibition and Clinical Outcomes] major or minor bleeding) at 12 months; the efficacy endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular events (cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, and stroke). RESULTS Of 800 patients, 216 (27.0%) had DM. The incidence of clinically significant bleeding within 12 months was significantly higher with ticagrelor than clopidogrel in the nondiabetic group (10.2% vs 4.3%; HR: 2.45; 95% CI: 1.27-4.70; P = 0.007) and tended to be higher in the diabetic group (13.8% vs 8.0%; HR: 1.87; 95% CI: 0.54-4.36; P = 0.15); there was no significant interaction between treatment-arm and DM (P for interaction = 0.64). The incidences of major adverse cardiovascular events were not significantly different after ticagrelor or clopidogrel both in the diabetic group (10.8% vs 6.0%; HR: 1.90; 95% CI: 0.71-5.07; P = 0.20) and in the nondiabetic group (8.5% vs 5.7%; HR: 1.51; 95% CI: 0.81-2.81; P = 0.19) without significant interaction (P-for-interaction = 0.71). CONCLUSIONS In Korean ACS patients undergoing early invasive management, diabetes status did not affect the relative safety and efficacy of ticagrelor and clopidogrel.

Abstract
BackgroundAntiplatelet therapy is crucial for managing acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and reducing adverse ischemic events after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents. However, the ideal P2Y12 inhibitor for patients—particularly East Asians—with AMI and low platelet levels remains unknown. We evaluated the impact of various potencies of P2Y12 receptors on major cardiovascular outcomes of AMI patients with thrombocytopenia in Korea.MethodsWe analyzed the clinical and outcome data of 800 AMI patients with baseline platelet counts <150 × 103/μL who underwent PCI between November 2011 and June 2015. All patient data were obtained from the Korea Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry–National Institutes of Health registry. Subjects were allocated to group A (n = 244; treated with potent P2Y12 inhibitors) or group B (n = 556; treated with clopidogrel). The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs).ResultsAt the 3-year follow-up, clinical outcomes appeared better in group A than in Group B. However, after propensity score weighting-adjusted analysis, these findings were statistically attenuated, showing a similar incidence of MACCEs between the two groups.ConclusionsClopidogrel may be reasonable for patients with low platelet counts and is associated with comparable outcomes to potent P2Y12 inhibitors for Korean AMI patients.

Eur J Clin Pharmacol 2022; 78:1403-1420. [PMID: 35732963 PMCID: PMC9217117 DOI: 10.1007/s00228-022-03356-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2022] [Accepted: 06/14/2022] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
Purpose The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has shown unprecedented impact world-wide since the eruption in late 2019. Importantly, emerging reports suggest an increased risk of thromboembolism development in patients with COVID-19. Meanwhile, it is found that aspirin reduced mortality in critically ill patients with non-COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome. Therefore, a meta-analysis was performed to investigate the effects of aspirin on COVID-19 mortality. Methods A systematic literature search was conducted in 10 electronic databases and 4 registries. Random effects models were used to calculate pooled relative risks (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals (Cis) to estimate the effect of aspirin on COVID-19 mortality. Relevant subgroup analyses and sensitivity analyses were also performed. Results The results showed that aspirin use was associated with a reduction in COVID-19 mortality (adjusted RR 0.69; 95% CI 0.50–0.95; P < 0.001). Subgroup analysis found that the low-dose group was associated with a reduced COVID-19 mortality (adjusted RR 0.64; 95% CI 0.48–0.85; P < 0.01). Aspirin use was associated with reduced COVID-19 mortality in Europe and America (crude RR 0.71; 95% CI 0.52–0.98; P = 0.04), and results from cohort studies suggested that aspirin use was a protective factor for COVID-19 mortality (adjusted RR 0.73; 95% CI 0.52–0.99; P = 0.04). Meanwhile, aspirin use was not associated with bleeding risk (crude RR 1.22; 95% CI 0.80–1.87; P = 0.96). Conclusions This meta-analysis found that aspirin use was associated with a reduction in mortality in patients with COVID-19 and not with an increased risk of bleeding.

Zheng Y, Li C, Yang J, Seery S, Qi Y, Wang W, Zhang K, Shao C, Tang YD. Atherogenic index of plasma for non-diabetic, coronary artery disease patients after percutaneous coronary intervention: a prospective study of the long-term outcomes in China. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2022; 21:29. [PMID: 35193553 PMCID: PMC8864872 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-022-01459-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2021] [Accepted: 02/03/2022] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Non-diabetic coronary artery disease (CAD) patients are thought to encounter metabolic dysfunction and while these changes may be imperceptible to the patient they probably influence outcomes. At present, there is no system to support patients sensing these subtle changes, nor is there an established model for prognoses. The Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP) index has already proven useful for atherosclerosis although further research is needed, especially for those without hyperglycemia. Methods This is a prospective study of 5538 non-diabetic CAD patients who had received percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Participants were assigned to one of three groups according to their AIP index. High AIP index cases were then compared to low index patients according to major adverse cardiac events (MACE). Restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis was also conducted to investigate interrelations between AIP index levels and hazard ratios (HR) for MACEs. Results Patients with a high AIP index encountered metabolic dysfunction compared to those with a low AIP index i.e., higher Body Mass Index (BMI), Total Cholesterol (TC), Triglycerides (TG), and uric acid as well as lower HDL-C. Each of the aforementioned interrelations were significant with p values of less than 0.001. There was also a significant increase in the number of MACEs in the high AIP index group compared to the low AIP index group (HR: 1.37, 95% CI 1.04–1.81; p = 0.025). A J-shaped RCS curve highlighted a change in the HR after the 0.18 juncture (HR per SD: 1.20, 95% CI 0.96–1.50). Further subgroup analysis supported the main findings, all with HRs greater than one. Conclusion The AIP index could be used in prognostics for non-diabetic CAD patients 2 years after PCI. The relationship between hazard ratio and the AIP index appears to be J-shaped. Although, further multi-center studies designed for non-diabetic patients with potential metabolic dysfunction should be conducted to determine the value of the AIP index.

Abstract
BackgroundTicagrelor is currently recommended for patients with the acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, recent studies have yielded controversial results.ObjectiveTo compare the clinical outcomes between ticagrelor and clopidogrel in patients with ACS.MethodsThree electronic databases were queried until April 25, 2021. We defined major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) as the primary efficacy endpoint. The secondary efficacy endpoints included stroke, stent thrombosis, cardiovascular death, all-cause death, and myocardial infarction. The safety endpoints were (major and minor) bleeding. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs were calculated to represent the estimated effect sizes.ResultsA total of 270,937 patients with ACS from 10 clinical trials and 18 observational studies were included. No significant difference was detected in MACE (OR 0.81, 95% CI 0.60–1.08, p = 0.15, I2 = 64.83%). However, ticagrelor introduced a higher risk of bleeding (1.46, 1.17–1.83, 0.00, 61.66%) and minor bleeding (1.71, 1.33–2.21, 0.00, 4.65%) in clinical trials. The results of secondary efficacy endpoints differed in the clinical trials and observational studies. Subgroup analysis demonstrated that ticagrelor showed better therapeutic effects in patients who underwent the percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (0.38, 0.23–0.63, 0.00, 0) than those intended for PCI (1.03, 0.76–1.38, 0.87, 64.26%). Meanwhile, ticagrelor showed different therapeutic effects on patients with ACS of different ethnicities and different countries.ConclusionThis meta-analysis demonstrated that ticagrelor is not superior to clopidogrel in MACE but is associated with a higher risk of bleeding in patients with ACS. Different PCI strategies, ethnicities, and countries may be the factors that contribute to different therapeutic effects of ticagrelor.Systematic Review RegistrationThis study is registered with PROSPERO (CRD42021251212).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ticagrelor and prasugrel are the mainstay of antithrombotic therapy for patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI). However, direct comparative data on clinical outcomes of potent P2Y12 inhibitors are limited, especially in East Asian populations. We aimed to evaluate the effect of ticagrelor versus prasugrel on clinical outcomes in patients with acute MI. METHODS From the Korean nationwide National Health Insurance database, 10,797 patients with acute MI who received either ticagrelor or prasugrel in combination with aspirin after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were enrolled. The primary outcome was net clinical benefit, defined as a composite of death, MI, stroke, or major bleeding. Secondary outcomes included the individual components of the primary outcome as effectiveness and safety measures. RESULTS Among 10,797 patients, 9591 (88.8%) received ticagrelor and 1206 (11.2%) received prasugrel. During a median follow-up of 1.8 years, the primary outcome occurred in 1051 (16.6%) and 131 (14.4%) patients in the ticagrelor and prasugrel groups, respectively. In the propensity score matched cohort (n = 5979), the risk for the primary outcome was similar between the two groups (hazard ratio [HR] 0.949 for prasugrel; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.780-1.154). The risks for the composite of death, MI, or stroke (HR 0.938; 95% CI: 0.752-1.169) and major bleeding (HR 1.022; 95% CI: 0.709-1.472) were also comparable. CONCLUSIONS In patients with acute MI undergoing PCI, ticagrelor and prasugrel appeared to have similar net clinical benefits. The risks for death, MI, or stroke and major bleeding were not significantly different between the two groups.

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv 2021; 97 Suppl 2:1032-1039. [PMID: 33650763 DOI: 10.1002/ccd.29591] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2021] [Accepted: 02/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed at comparing the effectiveness and safety of ticagrelor and clopidogrel in acute coronary artery syndrome (ACS) patients stratified by the Optimal Antiplatelet Therapy for Chinese Patients with Coronary Artery Disease (OPT-CAD) risk score. BACKGROUND Although they provide a promising basis for treatment decisions, risk scores have not been utilized to optimize P2Y12 inhibitors for ACS patients. METHODS In 2016-2019, 16,343 ACS patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention at the General Hospital of Northern Theater Command were enrolled and classified as low-risk (n = 9,841) or intermediate- to high-risk (n = 6,502) according to OPT-CAD risk score. Clinical outcomes for patients receiving clopidogrel or ticagrelor were compared within risk levels. Primary endpoint was ischemic events at 12 months. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to balance groups. RESULTS The risk of ischemic events (2.73% vs. 3.89%, p = .02) and all-cause mortality (1.75% vs. 2.86%, p = .01) were lower in the intermediate- to high-risk patients treated with ticagrelor than those treated with clopidogrel, without an excessive risk of major bleeding (3.71% vs. 3.95%, p = .65). Among low-risk patients, ticagrelor was associated with significantly increased bleeding risk (4.13% vs. 2.85%, p < .01) compared to clopidogrel, with no difference in ischemic risk (1.04% vs. 1.25%, p = .36). Results were consistent in PSM cohorts. CONCLUSIONS Ticagrelor improves ischemic prognosis in intermediate- to high-risk patients but shows worse safety in low-risk patients compared to clopidogrel, supporting the effectiveness of risk score-guided decision making.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although short-term mortality in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has improved, data is limited regarding very long-term mortality and concomitant clinical events in STEMI survivors who undergo primary percutaneous coronary intervention (p-PCI). This study aimed to evaluate these parameters at 15 years and to determine the predictors of 15-year mortality in these patients. METHODS The study endpoints were all-cause mortality and cardiac mortality at 15 years. Independent predictors of all-cause mortality were also analyzed. Furthermore, each thrombotic and bleeding event was evaluated. RESULTS Between January 2004 and December 2006, 260 STEMI survivors who underwent p-PCI (median follow-up period: 3970 days) were evaluated from the Ogaki Municipal hospital registry. The rates of all-cause mortality (cardiac mortality) at 5, 10, and 15 years were 12.1% (4.9%), 23.4% (9.5%), and 34.9% (12.4%), respectively. The cumulative incidences of recurrent myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization, ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic bleeding, and gastric bleeding at 15 years were 11.3%, 43.6%, 14.3%, 6.9%, and 10.9%, respectively. Cox regression analysis showed that age ≥ 75 years [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR), 7.074, p < 0.001], chronic kidney disease (aHR, 2.320, p = 0.001), left ventricular ejection fraction <40% (aHR, 2.930, p = 0.001), Killip class ≥II at admission (aHR, 2.639, p = 0.003), untreated chronic total occlusion (aHR, 2.090, p = 0.042), and final TIMI grade ≤ 2 (aHR, 1.736, p = 0.048) were independent predictors of all-cause mortality. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that all-cause and cardiac mortality at 15 years were 34.9% and 12.4%, respectively, in all-comers STEMI survivors after p-PCI, indicating that STEMI survivors might have a benign prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Analyzing responsiveness to P2Y12 therapy is vital to preventing thrombotic and hemorrhagic complications in patients with cardiovascular diseases. OBJECTIVE This study evaluates a new Anysis-P2Y12 assay system against VerifyNow-P2Y12 in cardiac patients and analyzes the P2Y12 low-response rates of the two devices with various cutoff values. METHODS In total, 125 citrated blood samples were collected from cardiac patients referred for a P2Y12 antiplatelet response test. In the Anysis assay, the test result was the migration distance (MD) until the blood flow stops, which is comparable to both P2Y12 reaction units and percent inhibition obtained using VerifyNow. RESULTS The MDs without and with P2Y12 were 182±30 and 264±12 mm, respectively (p < 0.0001). Compared to VerifyNow-P2Y12, the sensitivity and specificity of Anysis-200 were 96.8%and 88.7%, respectively. Cohen's kappa coefficient between the two devices was 0.761, indicating a high agreement. However, there was an apparent difference in the low-response rate to P2Y12, which was 36.5%for VerifyNow and 5.9%for Anysis. CONCLUSIONS The performance of the newly developed platelet function assay, Anysis-P2Y12 was equivalent to that of VerifyNow-P2Y12 in terms of sensitivity and specificity. The Anysis-P2Y12 assay may help screen patients with abnormal P2Y12 non-responsiveness.

Abstract
It remains unclear whether low-dose ticagrelor offers better safety and similar efficacy for Asian patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). We aimed to compare the safety and effectiveness of low-dose ticagrelor vs standard-dose ticagrelor in Chinese patients with ACS undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). In this observational cohort study, a total of 2110 ACS patients who were event-free at 3 months after the index PCI were divided into standard-dose ticagrelor (90 mg twice daily) (n = 1830) or low-dose ticagrelor (45 mg twice daily) (n = 280) on a background of aspirin 100 mg once daily for at least another 9 months. The primary end point was type 2, 3, or 5 bleeding according to the Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) criteria over a 1-year follow-up period post-PCI. Predictors of the primary end point were identified. Both Cox regression and propensity score matching analyses were used. The cumulative incidence of BARC type 2, 3, or 5 bleeding was lower in the low-dose ticagrelor group vs the standard-dose group either before (adjusted HR 0.24; 95% CI 0.07-0.77; p = .016) or after matching (HR 0.25; 95% CI 0.08-0.85; p = .026). A composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, or stroke was not significantly different between the two groups (0.4% vs 0.9%, respectively). By multivariate analysis, only low-dose ticagrelor was a protected predictor of BARC type 2, 3, or 5 bleeding either before (HR 0.28, 95% CI 0.09-0.89) or after matching (HR 0.24, 95% CI 0.07-0.82). A low-dose regimen of ticagrelor might provide better safety than standard-dose ticagrelor in Chinese patients with ACS undergoing PCI.

Abstract
To assess the temporal trends of bleeding episodes during half- vs. standard-dose ticagrelor in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients with low platelet reactivity (LPR) during standard-dose ticagrelor (90 mg bid). ACS Patients with LPR (<85 P2Y12 reaction units) (n = 122) were randomly assigned to receive either half-dose (45 mg bid) or standard-dose ticagrelor (90 mg bid). The primary endpoint was incidence of Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) bleeding at 1 week, 1, 3 and 6 months. Dyspnea and ischemic events were also evaluated. Bleeding episodes were most commonly observed at 1 month and then decreased over time. Half-dose ticagrelor did not reduce any BARC bleeding (odds ratio [OR] 0.900, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.563-1.440, p = 0.661). However, serious bleeding (BARC type ≥2) occurred less often in half-dose ticagrelor (OR 0.284, 95% CI 0.088-0.921, p = 0.036). The rate of moderate-to-severe dyspnea was highest at 1 month, then decreased over time. Half-dose ticagrelor did not decrease moderate-to-severe dyspnea (Borg scale ≥ 3) (OR 1.066, 95% CI 0.322-3.530, p = 0.916). The risk of ischemic events was also similar between the groups. In conclusions, compared with standard-dose ticagrelor, half-dose ticagrelor reduced serious bleeding events during early period of dual-antiplatelet therapy in ACS patients with LPR; however, the risk of any bleeding events and dyspnea did not differ according to ticagrelor dose. Clinical registration: KCT0004640.

Ethnic Difference of Thrombogenicity in Patients with Cardiovascular Disease: a Pandora Box to Explain Prognostic Differences. Korean Circ J 2021; 51:202-221. [PMID: 33655720 PMCID: PMC7925962 DOI: 10.4070/kcj.2020.0537] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2020] [Accepted: 12/24/2020] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Arterial and venous atherothrombotic events are finely regulated processes involving a complex interplay between vulnerable blood, vulnerable vessel, and blood stasis. Vulnerable blood ('thrombogenicity') comprises complex interactions between cellular components and plasma factors (inflammatory, procoagulant, anticoagulant, and fibrinolytic factors). The extent of thrombogenicity may determine the progression of atheroma and the clinical manifestation of atherothrombotic events, with the highest thrombogenicity in African Americans and lowest in East Asians. Inherent thrombogenicity may influence clinical efficacy and safety of specific antithrombotic treatments in high-risk patients, which may in part explain the observation that East Asian patients have reduced anti-ischemic benefits and elevated bleeding risk with antithrombotic therapy compared to Caucasian patients. In this review, we discuss available evidence regarding the racial differences in thrombogenicity and its impact on clinical outcomes among patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
East Asian patients have reduced anti-ischemic benefits and increased bleeding risk during antithrombotic therapies compared with Caucasian patients. As potent P2Y12 receptor inhibitors (e.g., ticagrelor and prasugrel) and direct oral anticoagulants are commonly used in current daily practice, the unique risk-benefit trade-off in East Asians has been a topic of emerging interest. In this article, we propose updated evidence and future directions of antithrombotic treatment in East Asian patients.

Abstract
Clinical practice guidelines published by the European Society of Cardiology and the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association summarize the available evidence and provide recommendations for health professionals to enable appropriate clinical decisions and improve clinical outcomes for patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, most current guidelines are based on studies in non-Asian populations in the pre-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) era. The Korea Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry is the first nationwide registry to document many aspects of AMI from baseline characteristics to treatment strategies. There are well-organized ongoing and published randomized control trials especially for antiplatelet therapy among Korean patients with AMI. Here, members of the Task Force of the Korean Society of Myocardial Infarction review recent published studies during the current PCI era, and have summarized the expert consensus for the pharmacotherapy of AMI.

Abstract
Compared with Caucasian patients, East Asian patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) have demonstrated better clinical outcomes. We sought to compare the viscoelastic properties of clot formation and their impact on clinical outcomes in East Asian vs. Caucasian patients. We analyzed age- and sex-matched East Asian and Caucasian patients with stable CAD (n = 249 each). Viscoelastic properties of clot formation were assessed with thromboelastography (TEG), and 3-year clinical outcomes were recorded. Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) were defined as a composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or stroke. Compared with Caucasians, East Asians showed lower platelet-fibrin clot strength (PFCS) (maximum amplitude [MA]: 61.8 ± 7.9 vs. 65.4 ± 5.0 mm, p < 0.001). In a multivariate analysis, high PFCS (defined as MA ≥ 68 mm) was significantly associated with MACE occurrence (odds ratio 6.27, 95% CI 2.41 to 16.30, p < 0.001). East Asians vs. Caucasians had lower prevalence of high PFCS (odds ratio 0.50, 95% CI 0.27 to 0.93, p = 0.028). In conclusion, this is the first study to demonstrate different viscoelastic properties of clot between East Asian and Caucasian patients with stable CAD. The platelet-fibrin clot strength was significantly associated with MACE in these patients and was significantly lower in East Asians. Future studies are warranted to further explore the mechanistic explanation and clinical importance of these findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Risk stratification with specific biomarkers is proposed for tailored P2Y12 inhibitor therapy in patients with STEMI. METHODS This nationwide registry and quality improvement study is from November 1, 2014, to June 30, 2017. In total, 11,512 STEMI patients received aspirin and P2Y12 receptor inhibitor (clopidogrel or ticagrelor) and underwent PCIs in hospitals. Of the patients, 2992 were prescribed ticagrelor and 8520 clopidogrel. The primary effectiveness outcome was major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE: cardiac death, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, in-hospital ischemic stroke). The primary safety outcome was in-hospital major bleeding. RESULTS MACCE incidence was lower in the ticagrelor group than in the clopidogrel group (0.8% versus 1.2%; P=0.046), but under different NT-proBNP levels, cumulative hazards of MACCE were without statistical significance. Bleeding rates were higher in the ticagrelor group than in the clopidogrel group (all bleeding: 9.9% versus 6.9%, P<0.001; major bleeding: 4.0% versus 2.7%, P<0.001). The higher cumulative hazard of bleeding could be identified in the Kaplan-Meier curves. In the multivariate analysis, ticagrelor increased bleeding events, compared with clopidogrel, at NT-proBNP >1800 ng/L patients (all bleeding: HR 1.46; 95%CI, 1.07-2.01; major bleeding: HR 1.68, 95%CI, 1.03-2.74), but a low effect was found in those with lower NT-proBNP level. Subgroup analyses show that ticagrelor increased major bleeding in patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <0.50 (HR 3.29; 95% CI 1.61-6.74) (interaction p=0.03). CONCLUSION We found that ticagrelor, compared with clopidogrel, increased bleeding complications in hospitalized patients with NT-proBNP>1800 ng/L, especially in patients with EF < 0.50.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The COMBO drug-eluting stent combines sirolimus-elution from a biodegradable polymer with an anti-CD34+ antibody coating for early endothelialization. OBJECTIVE We investigated for geographical differences in outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with the COMBO stent among Asians and Europeans. METHODS The COMBO Collaboration is a pooled patient-level analysis of the MASCOT and REMEDEE registries of all-comers undergoing attempted COMBO stent PCI. The primary outcome was 1-year target lesion failure (TLF), composite of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction (TV-MI) and target lesion revascularization (TLR). RESULTS This study included 604 Asians (17.9%) and 2775 Europeans (82.1%). Asians were younger and included fewer females, with a higher prevalence of diabetes mellitus but lower prevalence of other comorbidities than Europeans. Asians had a higher prevalence of ACC/AHA C type lesions and received longer stent lengths. More Asians than Europeans were discharged on clopidogrel (86.5% vs 62.8%) rather than potent P2Y12 inhibitors. One-year TLF occurred in 4.0% Asians and 4.1% of Europeans, p = 0.93. The incidence of cardiac death was higher in Asians (2.8% vs. 1.3%, p = 0.007) with similar rates of TV-MI (1.5% vs. 1.2%, p = 0.54) and definite stent thrombosis (0.3% vs. 0.5%, p = 0.84) and lower incidence of TLR than Europeans (1.0% vs. 2.5%, p = 0.025). After adjustment, differences for cardiac death and TLR were no longer significant. CONCLUSIONS In the COMBO collaboration, although 1-year TLF was similar regardless of geography, Asians experienced higher rates of cardiac death and lower TLR than Europeans, while incidence of TV-MI and ST was similar in both regions. Adjusted differences did not reach statistical significance. CLINICALTRIAL. GOV IDENTIFIER-NUMBERS NCT01874002 (REMEDEE Registry), NCT02183454 (MASCOT registry).

Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to assess regional and ethnic differences in an unselected patient population treated with polymer-free sirolimus-eluting stents (PF-SES) in Asia and Europe. METHODS Two all-comers observational studies based on the same protocol (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifiers: NCT02629575 and NCT02905214) were combined for data analysis to assure sufficient statistical power. The primary endpoint was the accumulated target lesion revascularization (TLR) rate at 9-12 months. RESULTS Of the total population of 7243 patients, 44.0% (3186) were recruited in the Mediterranean region and 32.0% (2317) in central Europe. The most prominent Asian region was South Korea (17.6%, 1274) followed by Malaysia (5.7%, 413). Major cardiovascular risk factors varied significantly across regions. The overall rates for accumulated TLR and MACE were low with 2.2% (140/6374) and 4.4% (279/6374), respectively. In ACS patients, there were no differences in terms of MACE, TLR, MI and accumulated mortality between the investigated regions. Moreover, dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) regimens were substantially longer in Asian countries even in patients with stable coronary artery disease as compared to those in Europe. CONCLUSIONS PF-SES angioplasty is associated with low clinical event rates in all regions. Further reductions in clinical event rates seem to be associated with longer DAPT regimens.

Abstract
Background:
Owing to the differential propensity for bleeding and ischemic events with response to antiplatelet therapy, the safety and effectiveness of potent P2Y12 inhibitor ticagrelor in East Asian populations remain uncertain.
Methods:
In this multicenter trial, 800 Korean patients hospitalized for acute coronary syndromes with or without ST elevation and intended for invasive management were randomly assigned to receive, in a 1:1 ratio, ticagrelor (180 mg loading dose, 90 mg twice daily thereafter) or clopidogrel (600 mg loading dose, 75 mg daily thereafter). The primary safety outcome was clinically significant bleeding (a composite of major bleeding or minor bleeding according to PLATO (Platelet Inhibition and Patient Outcomes) criteria at 12 months.
Results:
At 12 months, the incidence of clinically significant bleeding was significantly higher in the ticagrelor group than in the clopidogrel group (11.7% [45/400] vs 5.3% [21/400]; hazard ratio [HR], 2.26; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.34 to 3.79;
P
=0.002). The incidences of major bleeding (7.5% [29/400] vs 4.1% [16/400],
P
=0.04) and fatal bleeding (1% [4/400] vs 0%,
P
=0.04) were also higher in the ticagrelor group. The incidence of death from cardiovascular causes, myocardial infarction, or stroke was not significantly different between the ticagrelor group and the clopidogrel group (9.2% [36/400] vs 5.8% [23/400]; HR, 1.62; 95% CI, 0.96 to 2.74;
P
=0.07). Overall safety and effectiveness findings were similar with the use of several different analytic methods and in multiple subgroups.
Conclusions:
In Korean acute coronary syndrome patients intended to receive early invasive management, standard-dose ticagrelor as compared with clopidogrel was associated with a higher incidence of clinically significant bleeding. The numerically higher incidence of ischemic events should be interpreted with caution, given the present trial was underpowered to draw any conclusion regarding efficacy.

Abstract
Background Prior reports indicate that the effect of P2Y12 inhibitors may be different in East Asian patients (“East Asian paradox”); therefore, understanding the outcomes associated with potent P2Y12 inhibitors in different populations is clinically important. Methods and Results In this observational cohort study using administrative healthcare data sets, we compared safety and effectiveness of contemporary P2Y12 inhibitors in patients with acute coronary syndrome. The primary safety outcomes were major and any bleeding, and the primary effectiveness outcomes were major cardiovascular events (a composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or stroke) and all‐cause mortality. Among 70 715 patients with acute coronary syndrome, 56 216 (79.5%) used clopidogrel, 11 402 (16.1%) used ticagrelor, and 3097 (4.4%) used prasugrel. The median follow‐up period was 18.0 months (interquartile range: 9.6–26.4 months). In a propensity‐matched cohort, compared with clopidogrel, ticagrelor was associated with a higher risk of any bleeding (hazard ratio: 1.23; 95% CI, 1.14–1.33) but a lower risk of mortality (hazard ratio: 0.76; 95% CI, 0.63–0.91). Prasugrel, compared with clopidogrel, was associated with higher risks of any bleeding (hazard ratio: 1.23; 95% CI, 1.06–1.43) and major bleeding (hazard ratio: 1.50; 95% CI, 1.01–2.21) but a similar risk of effectiveness outcomes. No significant difference was noted between ticagrelor and prasugrel with respect to key safety or effectiveness outcomes. Several sensitivity analyses showed similar results. Conclusions In East Asian patients with acute coronary syndrome, compared with clopidogrel, ticagrelor was associated with an increased risk of bleeding but a decreased risk of mortality. Prasugrel was associated with an increase of any bleeding without difference in effectiveness outcomes. The risks of bleeding and ischemic events were similar between ticagrelor and prasugrel.

Rationale and Design of the High Platelet Inhibition with Ticagrelor to Improve Left Ventricular Remodeling in Patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (HEALING-AMI) Trial. Korean Circ J 2019; 49:586-599. [PMID: 31074220 PMCID: PMC6597457 DOI: 10.4070/kcj.2018.0415] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2018] [Revised: 02/05/2019] [Accepted: 02/20/2019] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Impaired recovery from left ventricular (LV) dysfunction is a major prognostic factor after myocardial infarction (MI). Because P2Y₁₂ receptor blockade inhibits myocardial injury, ticagrelor with off-target properties may have myocardial protection over clopidogrel. In animal models, ticagrelor vs. clopidogrel protects myocardium against reperfusion injury and improves remodeling after MI. We aimed to investigate the effect of ticagrelor on sequential myocardial remodeling process after MI. METHODS High platelet inhibition with ticagrelor to improve LV remodeling in patients with ST-segment elevation MI (HEALING-AMI) is an investigator-initiated, randomized, open-label, assessor-blinded, multi-center trial done at 10 sites in Korea. Patients will be enrolled if they have ST-segment elevation MI (STEMI) treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention and a planned duration of dual antiplatelet treatment of at least 6 months. Screened patients will be randomly assigned (1:1) using an internet-based randomization with a computer-generated blocking with stratification across study sites to either ticagrelor or clopidogrel treatment. The co-primary primary endpoints are LV remodeling index with three-dimensional echocardiography and the level of N-terminal prohormone B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) at 6 months representing post-MI remodeling processes. Changes of LV end-systolic/diastolic volume indices and LV ejection fraction between baseline and 6-month follow-up will be also evaluated. Analysis is per protocol. CONCLUSIONS HEALING-AMI is testing the effect of ticagrelor in reducing adverse LV remodeling following STEMI. Our trial would show the benefit of ticagrelor vs. clopidogrel related to the recovery of post-MI LV dysfunction beyond potent platelet inhibition.

Abstract
East Asians are the most populous race in the world and their health status is an important global issue. Compared with Caucasian populations, East Asian patients have a different benefit/risk ratio when using antithrombotic treatment. Despite this observation, treatment strategies in East Asian patients are mostly based on the American and European guidelines. Despite a lower platelet inhibitory response to clopidogrel, East Asian patients show a similar or even a lower rate of ischemic event occurrence and higher bleeding risk compared with Caucasian patients. For potent P2Y12 inhibitors (ticagrelor and prasugrel), East Asian patients have shown less favorable net clinical benefits compared with Caucasian patients, which may be related to differences in pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic profiles and therapeutic zone of antiplatelet effect. This updated consensus mainly focuses on state-of-the-art and current controversies in the East Asian population. In addition, when East Asian patients are administered potent P2Y12 receptor inhibitors, the strategies and ongoing trials to overcome the related hurdles are discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Potent P2Y12 blockers are preferred in patients with acute non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, the risk of bleeding remains a major concern. We assessed the association of potent P2Y12 blockers with ischemic and bleeding outcomes in patients with NSTEMI. METHODS From the Korea Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry-National Institute of Health database, 4927 patients with NSTEMI receiving drug-eluting stents (DES) were divided into potent P2Y12 blocker (ticagrelor or prasugrel, n=901) and clopidogrel (n=3180) groups. Propensity-matched 12-month ischemic and bleeding events were compared. Patients who received anticoagulants or who discontinued P2Y12 blockers or switched between potent P2Y12 blockers and clopidogrel were excluded. RESULTS In the overall population, patients at higher ischemic and bleeding risks more often received clopidogrel. After propensity matching (n=901 in each group), 12-month rates of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events were lower (7.3% vs. 10.1%, p=0.038), but Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) major or minor bleeding rates were higher (5.9% vs. 2.2%, p<0.001) with potent P2Y12 blockers. Twelve-month rates of death from any cause, MI, stroke, or TIMI major bleeding were not different. On multivariate analysis, 12-month risk of TIMI major or minor bleeding was higher with B2 or C lesion, potent P2Y12 blocker use, body weight <60kg, and lower with time to PCI <12h and radial artery access. CONCLUSIONS In patients with NSTEMI receiving DES, potent P2Y12 blockers were associated with reduced ischemic but increased bleeding risk with similar net clinical benefits.
