Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the main limiting factors of introducing and uptitrating guideline-derived medical therapy (GDMT) among patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Only few studies evaluated the success of implementation of pharmacotherapy in HFrEF and its effect on prognosis across the whole spectrum of CKD stages.
Aim
To analyze the implementation differences of mortality reducing triple therapy (ACEi/ARB/ARNI + BB + MRA) by severity of CKD among hospitalized HFrEF patients. Furthermore, we evaluated the association between mortality and CKD stages.
Patients and methods
257 consecutive, hospitalized HFrEF patients' data were analyzed retrospectively, who had been hospitalized at the Heart Failure Unit of a tertiary cardiological centre in 2019–2021 (male: 74%, age: 65 [56–73] years, ischemic: 45%, diabetes: 40%, hypertension 58%, atrial fibrillation 46%, LVEF: 25 [20–30] %, NT-proBNP at admission: 6086 [2757–11994] pg/ml). Median eGFR was 58 [39–74] ml/min/1.73 m2, 53% of patients had eGFR <60 ml/min/1.73 m2 (CKD stage: G1 – eGFR >90 ml/min/1.73 m2: 15%, G2 – eGFR = 60–90 ml/min/1.73 m2: 32%, G3A – eGFR = 45–59 ml/min/1.73 m2: 20%, G3B – eGFR = 30–44 ml/min/1.73 m2: 21%, G4 – eGFR = 15–29 ml/min/1.73 m2: 9%, G5 – eGFR <15 ml/min/1.73 m2: 3%). 1% of patients was on dialysis.
The success of implementing triple-therapy depending on CKD stages was investigated with Chi-square test, while mortality differences were analyzed with Kaplan-Meier method.
Results
The severity of CKD led to significantly (p<0.0001) lower implementation rate of triple-therapy (CKD stage G1–G2–G3A–G3B–G4–G5: 92 vs. 87 vs. 81 vs. 74 vs. 29 vs. 43%). However, only the ratio of RASi use showed significant difference (p<0.0001) among CKD subgroups (stage G1–G2–G3A–G3B–G4–G5: 100 vs. 100 vs. 92 vs. 87 vs. 42 vs. 43%), while BB (CKD stage G1–G2–G3A–G3B–G4–G5: 92 vs. 88 vs. 88 vs. 81 vs. 71 vs. 71%; p=0.162) and MRA (CKD stage G1–G2–G3A–G3B–G4–G5: 97 vs. 98 vs. 96 vs. 93 vs. 83 vs. 100%; p=0.0899) implementation was independent of renal function. All-cause 6-month mortality was 14% in the whole population. 6-months mortality rates proved to be higher (p=0.0083) in patients with more severe CKD (stage G1–G2–G3A–G3B–G4–G5: 8 vs. 11 vs. 8 vs. 20 vs. 35 vs. 29%).
Conclusions
Patients with advanced HFrEF and concomitant CKD are not equally treated with GDMT, even though kidney dysfunction is not an absolute contraindication of cornerstone HFrEF therapies. HFrEF patients with more severe CKD have poorer prognosis, thus implementation of mortality- and morbidity reducing drug therapy according to the guidelines is essential.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High-density lipoprotein plays a key role in reverse cholesterol transport. In addition, high-density lipoprotein particles may be cardioprotective and reduce infarct size in the setting of myocardial injury. Lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase is a rate-limiting enzyme in reverse cholesterol transport. MEDI6012 is a recombinant human lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase that increases high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Administration of lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase has the potential to reduce infarct size and regress coronary plaque in acute ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction. METHODS REAL-TIMI 63B (A Randomized, Placebo‑controlled Phase 2b Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of MEDI6012 in Acute ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction) was a phase 2B multinational, placebo-controlled, randomized trial. Patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction within 6 hours of symptom onset and planned for percutaneous intervention were randomly assigned 2:1 to MEDI6012 (2- or 6-dose regimen) or placebo and followed for 12 weeks. The primary outcome was infarct size as a percentage of left ventricular mass by cardiac MRI at 10 to 12 weeks, with the primary analysis in patients with TIMI Flow Grade 0 to 1 before percutaneous intervention who received at least 2 doses of MEDI6012. The secondary outcome was change in noncalcified plaque volume on coronary computed tomographic angiography from baseline to 10 to 12 weeks with the primary analysis in patients who received all 6 doses of MEDI6012. RESULTS A total of 593 patients were randomly assigned. Patients were a median of 62 years old, 77.9% male, and 95.8% statin naive. Median time from symptom onset to randomization was 146 (interquartile range [IQR], 103-221) minutes and from hospitalization to randomization was 12.7 (IQR, 6.6-24.0) minutes, and the first dose of drug was administered a median of 8 (IQR, 3-13) minutes before percutaneous intervention. The index myocardial infarction was anterior in 69.6% and TIMI Flow Grade 0 to 1 in 65.1% of patients. At 12 weeks, infarct size did not differ between treatment groups (MEDI6012: 9.71%, IQR 4.79-16.38; placebo: 10.48%, [IQR, 4.92-16.61], 1-sided P=0.79. There was also no difference in noncalcified plaque volume (geometric mean ratio, 0.96 [95% CI, NA-1.10], 1-sided P=0.30). There was no significant difference in treatment emergent serious adverse events. CONCLUSIONS Administration of MEDI6012 in patients with acute ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction did not result in a significant reduction in infarct size or noncalcified plaque volume at 12 weeks. MEDI6012 was well tolerated with no excess in overall serious adverse events. REGISTRATION URL: https://www. CLINICALTRIALS gov; Unique identifier: NCT03578809.

Abstract
Abstract
The angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) as cornerstone of neurohormonal drug regime reduce mortality and morbidity in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) hence these drugs are recommended for every HFrEF patients without presence of contraindication or intolerance. However, there are controversial results regarding the incremental survival benefit of higher doses of these drugs used in HFrEF. In addition, achieving the highest doses (TD1) (20 mg < enalapril daily dose≤40 mg, or dose equivalent ACEi/ARB), of these drugs often accompanies side effects related to the uptitration, which may make it impossible to start other therapies proven to result in undoubtful mortality benefit (i.e. sacubitril/valsartan).
Aim
To assess the effect of TD1 of ACEi/ARB on mortality of HFrEF patients followed at a heart failure outpatient clinic (HFOC).
Methods
Data of 579 consecutive HFrEF patients, who hadn't been treated with an ACEi/ARB or were receiving ≤50% of doses equivalent with 20mg enalapril daily (TD2) at the time of initiation of care (NYHA: 3.1±0.8; LVEF: 27.5±6.6%; age: 61.1±13.0 years; male: 76.1%; ischemic: 46.8%; atrial fibrillation: 27.6%; diabetes: 34.9%; hypertension: 72.5%), followed at our HFOC was analysed. After therapy optimization (TO) ACEis/ARBs were applied in 96.5% and at least TD2 was reached in 55.9% of the total cohort, while TD1 of an ACEi/ARB was applied in 111 patients (19.2% of total cohort). BBs in 88.4%, target doses of BBs in 46.8%, MRAs in 57.0% of total cohort were used. To adjust for possible confounders, patients were matched based on the ACEi/ARB doses reached during TO applying propensity score matching (PSM) using the nearest neighbor matching (caliper: 0.2). All-cause mortality (ACM) was assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared with the Cox proportional hazard model.
Results
After 7.1±4.7 years follow-up ACM of patients treated with TD1 of ACEis/ARBs was significantly lower than those treated with lower doses in the total cohort (HR=0.67; 95% CI=0.50–0.89; p=0.005). Applying multivariate Cox regression analysis the use of TD1 of an ACEi/ARB didn't remain independent predictor of survival; creatinine, NYHA f.c., age, sex, ischemic etiology were proved to be significant predictor of mortality. After PSM the survival of patients receiving TD1 of an ACEi/ARB didn't differ from those treated with lower doses (HR=0.84; 95% CI=0.61–1.14; p=0.27).
Conclusions
The current ESC guidelines recommend the use of target doses or maximal tolerated doses of ACEis or ARBs in HFrEF. In a real-world patient cohort whom all the effort was made to reach the target doses, ACM of patients treated with TD1 of an ACEi/ARB was significantly lower than those treated with lower doses, however this result wasn't independent from the patient characteristics. Beside that, after PSM the survival of patients treated with TD1 or with lower doses of an ACEi/ARB did not differ significantly.

Abstract
Abstract
Aims
The Acute Cardiac Care Association (ACCA)–European Association of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (EAPCI) Registry on ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) of the EurObservational programme (EORP) of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) registry aimed to determine the current state of the use of reperfusion therapy in ESC member and ESC affiliated countries and the adherence to ESC STEMI guidelines in patients with STEMI.
Methods and results
Between 1 January 2015 and 31 March 2018, a total of 11 462 patients admitted with an initial diagnosis of STEMI according to the 2012 ESC STEMI guidelines were enrolled. Individual patient data were collected across 196 centres and 29 countries. Among the centres, there were 136 percutaneous coronary intervention centres and 91 with cardiac surgery on-site. The majority of centres (129/196) were part of a STEMI network. The main objective of this study was to describe the demographic, clinical, and angiographic characteristics of patients with STEMI. Other objectives include to assess management patterns and in particular the current use of reperfusion therapies and to evaluate how recommendations of most recent STEMI European guidelines regarding reperfusion therapies and adjunctive pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments are adopted in clinical practice and how their application can impact on patients’ outcomes. Patients will be followed for 1 year after admission.
Conclusion
The ESC ACCA-EAPCI EORP ACS STEMI registry is an international registry of care and outcomes of patients hospitalized with STEMI. It will provide insights into the contemporary patient profile, management patterns, and 1-year outcome of patients with STEMI.

Abstract
Background Acute coronary syndrome is associated with platelet hyperactivity, which in its persistent form, promotes recurrent thrombotic events. Complex cardiac rehabilitation after acute coronary syndrome improves clinical outcome; however, its effect on platelet hyperactivity is unknown. Design and methods We enrolled 84 acute coronary syndrome patients on dual antiplatelet therapy, who underwent a new complex cardiac rehabilitation programme (NovaCord physiotherapy, lifestyle counselling, strict diet, stress management and regular coaching) and 51 control acute coronary syndrome patients with traditional cardiac rehabilitation. Platelet functionality was determined at enrolment and at three months follow-up by aggregometry, serum platelet-derived growth factor levels, total- and platelet-derived microvesicle counts (PMV; CD41a+/CD61+, CD62P+). Results Platelet aggregation parameters and platelet-derived growth factor levels were significantly decreased in the complex cardiac rehabilitation group at three months (1 µg/ml collagen, median (interquartile range): 22 (10-45) vs 14 (7.5-25.5)%, p = 0.0015; 2 µg/ml collagen: 36 (22-60) vs 26.5 (16-37)%, p = 0.0019; 1.25 µM adenosine-diphosphate: 4.5 (1-10) vs 1 (0-3)%, p = 0.0006; 5 µM adenosine-diphosphate: 27 (16-38) vs 22 (12-31)%, p = 0.0078; epinephrine: 33 (15-57) vs 27 (12-43)%, p = 0.01; platelet-derived growth factor: 434.6 (256.0-622.7) vs 224.8 (148.5-374.1) pg/ml, p = 0.0001). In contrast, these changes were absent or did not reach statistical significance in the traditional cardiac rehabilitation group. Platelet-derived microvesicle counts were significantly decreased in both groups, while total microvesicle count was significantly reduced only in the complex cardiac rehabilitation group (median (interquartile range): 3945.5 (2138-5661) vs 1739 (780-2303) count/µl; p = 0.0001). Conclusions Platelet hyperactivity three months after acute coronary syndrome significantly decreased in patients undergoing complex cardiac rehabilitation. Besides dual antiplatelet therapy, effective management and comprehensive control of cardiovascular risk factors might represent a new, non-pharmacological approach to influence platelet functionality.

Abstract
In patients with typical angina pectoris, inducible myocardial ischaemia and macroscopically normal coronaries (cardiac syndrome X (CSX)), a significantly elevated plasma level of terminal complement complex (TCC), the common end product of complement activation, has been observed without accompanying activation of the classical or the alternative pathways. Therefore, our aim was to clarify the role of the ficolin-lectin pathway in CSX. Eighteen patients with CSX, 37 stable angina patients with significant coronary stenosis (CHD) and 54 healthy volunteers (HC) were enrolled. Serum levels of ficolin-2 and ficolin-3, ficolin-3/MASP-2 complex and ficolin-3-mediated TCC deposition (FCN3-TCC) were determined. Plasma level of TCC was significantly higher in the CSX than in the HC or CHD group (5.45 versus 1.30 versus 2.04 AU/ml, P < 0.001). Serum levels of ficolin-2 and ficolin-3 were significantly lower in the CSX compared to the HC or CHD group (3.60 versus 5.80 or 5.20 μg/ml, P < 0.05; 17.80 versus 24.10 or 26.80 μg/ml, P < 0.05). The ficolin-3/MASP-2 complex was significantly lower in the CSX group compared to the HC group (92.90 versus 144.90 AU/ml, P = 0.006). FCN3-TCC deposition was significantly lower in the CSX group compared to the HC and CHD groups (67.8% versus 143.3% or 159.7%, P < 0.05). In the CSX group, a significant correlation was found between TCC and FCN3-TCC level (r = 0.507, P = 0.032) and between ficolin-3/MASP-2 complex level and FCN3-TCC deposition (r = 0.651, P = 0.003). In conclusion, in patients with typical angina and myocardial ischaemia despite macroscopically normal coronary arteries, low levels of several lectin pathway parameters were observed, indicating complement activation and consumption. Complement activation through the ficolin-lectin pathway might play a role in the complex pathomechanism of CSX.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Data are limited on the real-life use of coronary intervention (PCI) and on its long-term efficacy and safety in elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). METHODS Data from a nation-wide registry of patients treated due to an AMI event in centers of invasive cardiology were analyzed for the potential interaction of age on the utilization of invasive therapy and outcome. Follow-up data of consecutive patients between March 1, 2013, and March 1, 2014 were analyzed. Differences in the risk of all-cause death at 1year between patients undergoing PCI versus others receiving conservative treatment were determined from vital records and were compared with propensity score matching. RESULTS A total of 8485 consecutive patients were enrolled at 19 centers. Sixty-three percent of the patients were male; the mean age was 65.1±12.4years. The proportion of STEMI cases was 51%. STEMI cases were treated with primary PCI in 91.0% while patients with NSTEACS underwent PCI in 71.0%. The age of patients was a significant determinant of deferring coronary angiography (Hazard ratio (HR): 0.524 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.47-0.59, p<0.001) and PCI (HR: 0.76 95% CI 0.73-0.80, p<0.001). One-year survival after PCI was significantly better both in the overall and in the propensity matched cohort (HR: 0.44 [95% CI: 0.39-0.49] and HR: 0.59 [95% CI: 0.50-0.69], p<0.001, both). This benefit remained consistent in age-dependent subgroup analyses. CONCLUSION Coronary intervention is underused among the elderly despite the mortality benefit of interventional therapy in myocardial infarction that is consistent in all age groups.

Abstract
Background Aspirin resistance established by different laboratory methods is still a debated problem. Using COX1 specific methods no aspirin resistance was detected among healthy volunteers. Here we tested the effect of chronic aspirin treatment on platelets from patients with stable coronary artery disease. The expression of COX2 mRNA in platelets and its influences on the effect of aspirin was also investigated. Methods One hundred and forty four patients were enrolled in the study. The direct measurement of COX1 acetylation was carried out by monoclonal antibodies specific to acetylated and non-acetylated COX1 (acCOX1 and nacCOX1) using Western blotting technique. Arachidonic acid (AA) induced TXB2 production by platelets was measured by competitive immunoassay. AA induced platelet aggregation, ATP secretion and VerifyNow Aspirin Assay were also performed. COX2 and COX1 mRNA expression in platelets were measured in 56 patients by RT-qPCR. Results In 138 patients only acCOX1 was detected, in the remaining six patients nacCOX1 disappeared after a compliance period. AA induced TXB2 production by platelets was very low in all patients including the 6 patients after compliance. AA induced platelet aggregation, secretion and with a few exceptions the VerifyNow Assay also demonstrated the effect of aspirin. Smoking, diabetes mellitus and inflammatory conditions did not influence the results. The very low amount of COX2 mRNA detected in 39 % of the investigated platelets did not influence the effect of aspirin. Conclusions No aspirin resistance was detected among patients with stable coronary artery disease. COX2 expression in platelets did not influence the effect of aspirin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Catheter ablation is a proven therapy of focal atrial tachycardia. However limited information is available about the additional value of electroanatomical over conventional mapping methods for this specific arrhythmia. METHODS Consecutive catheter ablation procedures of FAT were analyzed in two cardiology centres. Only conventional mapping was used in 30 of the 60 procedures whereas additionally CARTO mapping was performed in another 30 procedures. Acute, six-month success rate, and procedural data were analyzed. RESULTS Localization of ectopic foci is congruent with previously published data. There was no statistically significant difference between procedure time and fluoroscopy time using additionally CARTO mapping, compared to conventional mapping only. Acute success rate was higher in procedures guided by CARTO mapping than in procedures based on conventional mapping (27/30 vs. 18/30, p = 0.0081). During the 6-month follow-up period there was a better outcome (p = 0.045) in case of CARTO guided procedures (success: 11 cases, partial success: 12 cases, failure: 4 cases) compared to conventional mapping (success: 4 cases, partial success: 18 cases, failure: 7 cases). CONCLUSIONS Catheter ablation of focal atrial tachycardias using the CARTO electroanatomical mapping system seems to provide higher acute and 6-month success rate compared to ablation using conventional mapping methods only.

Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with an increased risk of thromboembolism, and is the most prevalent factor for cardioembolic stroke. Vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) have been the standard of care for stroke prevention in patients with AF since the early 1990s. They are very effective for the prevention of cardioembolic stroke, but are limited by factors such as drug-drug interactions, food interactions, slow onset and offset of action, haemorrhage and need for routine anticoagulation monitoring to maintain a therapeutic international normalised ratio (INR). Multiple new oral anticoagulants have been developed as potential replacements for VKAs for stroke prevention in AF. Most are small synthetic molecules that target thrombin (e.g. dabigatran etexilate) or factor Xa (e.g. rivaroxaban, apixaban, edoxaban, betrixaban, YM150). These drugs have predictable pharmacokinetics that allow fixed dosing without routine laboratory monitoring. Dabigatran etexilate, the first of these new oral anticoagulants to be approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency for stroke prevention in patients with non-valvular AF, represents an effective and safe alternative to VKAs. Under the auspices of the Regional Anticoagulation Working Group, a multidisciplinary group of experts in thrombosis and haemostasis from Central and Eastern Europe, an expert panel with expertise in AF convened to discuss practical, clinically important issues related to the long-term use of dabigatran for stroke prevention in non-valvular AF. The practical information reviewed in this article will help clinicians make appropriate use of this new therapeutic option in daily clinical practice.

Abstract
The contribution of platelets and the vessel wall to the antithrombotic effects of a single intravenous bolus injection of 0.8 mg/kg Fab fragments of the monoclonal antiplatelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor antibody 7E3 (7E3-Fab), combined with continuous heparin anticoagulation (100 U/kg bolus and 50 U/kg per hour), was studied in a canine preparation consisting of an everted (inside out) carotid arterial segment that had been inserted into a transected femoral artery. In all 6 control dogs without antibody, persistent or transient eversion graft occlusion occurred during an initial 2-hour observation period, and 5 of the 6 grafts were occluded at 24 hours. In 6 dogs given 7E3-Fab 24 hours before receiving an everted carotid artery segment from a donor dog, cyclic occlusion and reflow occurred in all dogs, whereas the grafts were patent at the end of a 2-hour observation period in 5 of the 6 dogs (P = .056 versus control). When transferred back to the donor dogs, the patient eversion segments showed brief periods of cyclic occlusion and reflow within 2 hours in 3 of 5 dogs (P = .034 versus control), whereas all of the 5 eversion segments were patent at 24 hours (P < .005 versus control).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The time course of the effects of a single intravenous bolus injection of 10 mg/kg aspirin or 0.8 mg/kg F(ab')2 fragments of the monoclonal antiplatelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor antibody 7E3 [7E3-F(ab')2] on arterial occlusion, platelet aggregation, and bleeding time was studied in 30 dogs with an everted (inside out) carotid arterial segment inserted into the femoral artery. In the absence of an antiplatelet agent, the eversion grafts occluded spontaneously with platelet-rich thrombus within 30 minutes. With aspirin, arterial occlusion persisting for 2 hours occurred in 5 of 10 dogs and cyclic occlusion and reflow in 4 animals; arterial occlusion was observed in all dogs at 24 hours. With 7E3-F(ab')2, arterial patency persisted throughout a 2-hour observation period in all of 10 dogs and for 24 hours in 4 of the 10 dogs. Contralateral eversion grafting 24 hours after aspirin or 7E3-F(ab')2 injection was associated with graft patency for 2 hours in 1 of 5 aspirin dogs and in 3 of 5 7E3-F(ab')2 dogs; patency persisted for 24 hours. In dogs grafted 48 hours after aspirin or 7E3-F(ab')2 injection, patency at 24 hours was seen in 0 of 5 dogs given aspirin and 3 of 5 dogs given 7E3-F(ab')2. The overall frequencies of arterial graft patency at 2, 24, 48, and 72 hours after study drug injection were significantly higher in the 7E3-F(ab')2 groups than in the aspirin groups (P < .0005, n = 10 in each group; P < .05, n = 15; P < .005, n = 15; and P = .05, n = 5, respectively).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The observation that urokinase infusion increases circulating levels of the anticoagulant activated protein C (APC) in baboons implies that APC might be elevated during thrombolytic therapy. Patients undergoing coronary thrombolysis showed an 11-fold increase (means from 6 to 69 micrograms/L) in APC during infusion of streptokinase. Thrombolytic therapy thus generates at least two potent antithrombotic factors in the circulation--the fibrinolytic enzyme, plasmin, and the anticoagulant enzyme, APC. APC may help prevent reocclusion during or after thrombolysis.
