Abstract
Killip classification has been used to stratify the risk of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). There were many reports that Killip class 3 or 4 is closely associated with poor clinical outcomes. In other words, Killip class 1 or 2 is associated with favorable clinical outcomes in patients with AMI, especially when patients received primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, some patients with Killip class 1/2 suffer from serious in-hospital complications. This study aimed to identify factors associated with serious in-hospital complications of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in patients with Killip class 1/2. The primary endpoint was serious in-hospital complications defined as the composite of in-hospital death and mechanical complications. We included 809 patients with STEMI, and divided them into the non-complication group (n = 791) and the complication group (n = 18). In-hospital death was observed in 14 patients (1.7%), and mechanical complications were observed in 4 patients (0.5%). Final TIMI flow ≤ 2 was more frequently observed in the complication group (33.3%) than in the non-complication group (5.4%) (p < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that serious in-hospital complication was associated with final TIMI flow grade ≤ 2 (Odds ratio 6.040, 95% confidence interval 2.042-17.870, p = 0.001). In conclusion, serious in-hospital complication of STEMI was associated with insufficient final TIMI flow grade in patients with Killip class 1/2. If final TIMI flow grade is suboptimal after primary PCI, we may recognize the potential risk of serious complications even when patients presented as Killip class 1/2.

Association of peak C-reactive protein with long-term clinical outcomes in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Heart Vessels 2023; 38:764-772. [PMID: 36809395 DOI: 10.1007/s00380-023-02250-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2022] [Accepted: 01/12/2023] [Indexed: 02/23/2023]
Abstract
Peak C-reactive protein (CRP) levels following ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are associated with left ventricular thrombus formation or cardiac rupture. However, the impact of peak CRP on long-term outcomes in patients with STEMI is not completely understood. The purpose of this retrospective study was to compare the long-term all-cause death after STEMI between patients with and without high peak CRP levels. We included 594 patients with STEMI, and divided them into the high CRP group (n = 119) and the low-moderate CRP group (n = 475) according to the quintile of peak CRP levels. The primary endpoint was all-cause death after the discharge of the index admission. The mean peak CRP level was 19.66 ± 5.14 mg/dL in the high CRP group, whereas that was 6.43 ± 3.86 mg/dL in the low-moderate CRP group (p < 0.001). During the median follow-up duration of 1045 days (Q1 284 days, Q3 1603 days), a total of 45 all-cause deaths were observed. The Kaplan-Meier curves showed that all-cause death was more frequently observed in the high CRP group than in the low-moderate CRP group (p = 0.002). The multivariate Cox hazard analysis revealed that high CRP was significantly associated with all-cause death (hazard ratio 2.325, 95% confidence interval 1.246-4.341, p = 0.008) after controlling for confounding factors. In conclusion, high peak CRP was significantly associated with all-cause death in patients with STEMI. Our results suggest that peak CRP may be useful to stratify patients with STEMI for the risk of future death.

Comparison of door-to-balloon time and in-hospital outcomes in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction between before versus after COVID-19 pandemic. Cardiovasc Interv Ther 2022; 37:641-650. [PMID: 35006544 PMCID: PMC8744386 DOI: 10.1007/s12928-022-00836-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2021] [Accepted: 01/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
The situation around primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has dramatically changed since coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The impact of COVID-19 pandemic on clinical outcomes as well as door-to-balloon time (DTBT), which is known as one of the indicators of early reperfusion, has not been fully investigated in patients with ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI). The purpose of this study was to compare DTBT and in-hospital outcomes in patients with STEMI between before versus after COVID-19 pandemic. The primary interest was DTBT and the incidence of in-hospital outcomes including in-hospital death. We included 330 patients with STEMI who underwent primary PCI, and divided them into the pre COVID-19 group (n = 209) and the post COVID-19 group (n = 121). DTBT was significantly longer in the post COVID-19 group than in the pre COVID-19 group (p < 0.001), whereas the incidence of in-hospital death was comparable between the 2 groups (p = 0.238). In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, chest CT before primary PCI (OR 4.64, 95% CI 2.58-8.34, p < 0.001) was significantly associated with long DTBT, whereas chest CT before primary PCI (OR 0.76, 95% CI 0.29-1.97, p = 0.570) was not associated with in-hospital death after controlling confounding factors. In conclusion, although DTBT was significantly longer after COVID-19 pandemic than before COVID-19 pandemic, in-hospital outcomes were comparable between before versus after COVID-19 pandemic. This study suggests the validity of the screening tests including chest CT for COVID-19 in patients with STEMI who undergo primary PCI.
