Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is one of the major cardiac complications in patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit (ICU) for non-cardiac disease. A better knowledge of ischemic and bleeding risks in these patients is needed to identify those most likely to benefit from specific cardiac management. We therefore assessed the incidence and predictors of a composite outcome of severe ischemic event (AMI recurrence, ischemic stroke), major bleeding, or all-cause death in this setting. METHODS In this multicenter retrospective study, all consecutive adult patients admitted for non-cardiac disease to four French university hospital ICUs between January 2012 and December 2018 who had an AMI with obstructive coronary artery disease (OCAD) during the ICU stay were considered for inclusion. AMI with OCAD was defined as an elevated cardiac troponin value associated with at least one sign (clinical, electrocardiographic, or echocardiographic) suggestive of myocardial ischemia and presence of OCAD on coronary angiography. The primary endpoint was in-hospital occurrence of the composite outcome. RESULTS Ninety-six patients [median age 69 years, 22 women (23%), 59 with sepsis (61%), 35 with ST elevation (37%), median sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) of 8 on the day of AMI] were included. The median peak cardiac troponin value was 131 (IQR 44-303) times the upper reference limit. Dual antiplatelet, therapeutic anticoagulation, and early mechanical reperfusion therapies were administered in 61 (64%), 68 (71%), and 47 (49%) patients, respectively. The composite outcome occurred in 48 (50%) patients. Severe ischemic events occurred in 17 (18%) patients and major bleeding in 26 (27%) patients; 26 patients (27%) died in the hospital. AMI management was not significantly different in patients with and without the composite outcome. A history of arterial hypertension (HR 2.05, 95% CI 1.01-4.16) and high SOFA score at the time of AMI (HR 1.07, 95% CI 1.00-1.15) were independent risk factors for the composite outcome. CONCLUSIONS Patients who have an AMI with OCAD during an ICU stay for non-cardiac disease are at risk of a composite outcome of severe ischemia, major bleeding, and death. A history of arterial hypertension and high SOFA scores were independent hazards for poor prognosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE Asians often face the problems of clopidogrel resistance and East Asian paradox. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of P2Y12 inhibitors, including low-dose prasugrel 2.5 mg, on the P2Y12 reaction unit (PRU) in the chronic phase after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS A total of 348 patients were studied. PRU was measured 6-12 months after PCI and subsequently, 6 months later using a P2Y12 assay, respectively. This study evaluated the proportion of bleeding risk (PRU ≤ 85) and ischemic risk (PRU ≥ 239) as primary endpoints, and the prediction of bleeding risk and ischemic risk using multivariable logistic regression analysis. RESULTS At baseline, 136 patients (39%) received prasugrel 3.75 mg, 48 patients (14%) received prasugrel 2.5 mg, and 164 patients (47%) received clopidogrel 75 mg. Clopidogrel 75 mg had a significantly higher proportion of ischemic risk within one year after PCI than the other groups, and was an independent predictor for ischemic risk with reference of prasugrel 3.75 mg. In addition, switching from clopidogrel 75 mg to prasugrel 2.5 mg significantly lowered and aggregated the PRU value. Whereas, dose reduction of prasugrel had a significantly lower proportion of bleeding risk over one year after PCI than the continuation of prasugrel 3.75 mg, and was an independent predictor for bleeding risk with reference of continuation of prasugrel 3.75 mg. CONCLUSIONS Prasugrel 2.5 mg has a lower ischemic risk and a more stable PRU value compared with clopidogrel treatment. Prasugrel also contributes to a decline in bleeding risk with concomitant dose reduction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Ischemic or bleeding events might occur after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), with the potential to hamper clinical outcomes. This study aimed to characterize the average daily ischemic risks (ADIRs) and the average daily bleeding risks (ADBRs) over 1-year in all consecutive patients undergoing TAVR. METHODS ADBR included all bleeding events according to VARC-2 definition, and ADIR included cardiovascular deaths, myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke. ADIRs and ADBRs were assessed within different timeframes post TAVR: acute (0-30 days), late (31-180 days), and very late (>181 days). Generalized estimating equations were used to test the least squares mean differences for the pairwise comparison of ADIRs and ADBRs. Our analysis was performed in the overall cohort and according to antithrombotic strategy (LT-OAC vs No LT-OAC). RESULTS Ischemic burden was higher than bleeding burden, independently from the indication to LT-OAC, and in all timeframes examined. In the overall population, ADIRs were three-fold ADBRs (0.0467 [95% CI, 0.0431-0.0506] vs 0.0179 [95% CI, 0.0174-0.0185]; p < 0.001*). While ADIR was significantly higher in the acute phase, ADBR was relatively stable in all timeframes analysed. Of note, in LT-OAC population, OAC + SAPT group showed lower ischemic risk and higher bleeding events compared with OAC alone (ADIR: 0.0447 [95% CI: 0.0417-0.0477] vs 0.0642 [95% CI: 0.0557-0.0728]; p < 0.001*, ADBR 0.0395 [95% CI: 0.0381-0.0409] vs 0.0147 [95% CI: 0.0138-0.0156]; p < 0.001*). CONCLUSIONS In patients undergoing TAVR Average daily risk fluctuates over time. However, ADIRs overcome ADBRs in all timeframes, especially in the acute phase and regardless of antithrombotic strategy adopted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The PEGASUS-TIMI 54 trial inclusion criteria effectively identified high-risk patients with recent myocardial infarction (MI) who would benefit from continuing dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with ticagrelor for more than 12 months. It is unknown how many real-world patients meet these criteria during the acute phase of ST-elevation MI (STEMI), or the extent to which these criteria predict a patient's risk and prognosis. Study objectives were: (1) determine the proportion of PEGASUS-TIMI 54-like patients (PG-l) in a real-world cohort of patients hospitalized with STEMI and to assess their ischemic and hemorrhagic risk; (2) examine their ischemic and hemorrhagic in-hospital events (major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events [MACCE] and clinically relevant bleeding); (3) evaluate their long-term outcomes and the impact on the long-term prognosis of the type of DAPT prescribed at discharge. METHODS This observational study was conducted in 1086 patients admitted to hospital with a diagnosis of STEMI between February 2011 and March 2018 and enrolled in the CARDIO-STEMI Sanremo registry. Patients' demographic and clinical characteristics, procedural variables, and individual ischemic and hemorrhagic risk scores were assessed in-hospital. Four-year survival was also analyzed. RESULTS The proportion of PG-I patients was 69.2%. Compared with non-PG-l patients, PG-l patients were older, had more multivessel disease and comorbidities, and experienced more frequent MACCE (8.3% vs. 3.6%, p = 0.005) and clinically significant bleeding events (6.7% vs. 2.7%, p = 0.008), a higher rate of in-hospital death (6.5% vs. 1.5%, p < 0.001), and higher follow-up mortality rate (14.8% vs. 7.7%; p = 0.002). Four-year survival was significantly lower in the PG-l group (83.9% vs. 91.8%; Log-rank = 0.001) and was related to the cumulative number of concurrent risk factors. In the unadjusted analysis, survival was greater in patients discharged on ticagrelor than on another P2Y12 inhibitor (90.2% vs. 76.7%, Log-rank = 0.001), and the difference was particularly evident in PG-l patients. CONCLUSIONS The risk of MACCE for PG-l patients increased with the number of concurrent PEGASUS-TIMI 54 risk features. Treatment with ticagrelor on discharge was associated with improved survival rates during 4 years of follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a frequent comorbidity in malignant patients. Anticancer therapies complicate anticoagulant strategy. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of long-term use of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in breast cancer women. METHODS In a prospective cohort study we enrolled 48 consecutive radically treated breast cancer women with AF (median age 63 [interquartile range 56-69] years, CHA2DS2-VASc 2 [2,3]) score) and adjuvant hormonal therapy. Thromboembolic complications (stroke, transient ischemic attack [TIA], venous thromboembolism [VTE]) and bleeding events (major and clinically relevant non-major bleeding [CRNMB]) were recorded in follow-up. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 40 (interquartile range 28-50.5) months 13 (27%) patients received apixaban, 22 (46%) rivaroxaban, and 13 (27%) dabigatran. One stroke (2.3%/year) and two CRNMBs (4.6%/year) were observed on apixaban. One TIA (1.3%/year), three major bleedings and two CRNMBs (6.7%/year, combined) were reported on rivaroxaban. Three VTE were documented in dabigatran treated individuals (7.8%/year), without any bleeding or cerebrovascular events. Women with thromboembolic events had higher body mass index (32 [29-33]) vs. 26 [24-29]) kg/m2, p = 0.02) and CHA2DS2-VASc score (3 [3]) vs. 2 [1-3]), p = 0.02). Most thromboembolic complications (n = 4, 80%) and all three major bleedings were observed in tamoxifen users, while three of four CRNMBs occurred on aromatase inhibitors. Mortality rates were low (apixaban, n = 1 [2.3%/year], rivaroxaban, n = 3 [5.22%/ year], and dabigatran, n = 2 [4%/ year]). No death was related to bleeding. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that DOACs are an effective and safe therapeutic option in breast cancer patients with AF during adjuvant hormonal therapy.

Abstract
Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with aspirin and a P2Y12 inhibitor is essential after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), while many studies have focused on determining the optimal degree of platelet inhibition and optimal DAPT duration to minimize complications after PCI. Current guidelines developed by the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association and the European Society of Cardiology summarize previous studies and provide recommendations. However, these guidelines are mainly based on Western patients, and their characteristics might differ from those of East Asian patients. Previous data suggested that East Asian patients have unique features with regard to the response to antiplatelet agents. On comparing Western and East Asian patients, it was found that East Asian patients have a lower rate of ischemic events and higher rate of bleeding events after PCI, despite a higher on-treatment platelet reactivity, which is referred to as the “East Asian paradox.” As the main purpose of DAPT is to minimize ischemic and bleeding complications after PCI, these differences should be clarified before adopting the guidelines for East Asian patients. Therefore, in this article, we will review various issues regarding DAPT in East Asian patients, with a focus on the unique characteristics of East Asian patients, previous studies regarding antiplatelet agents in East Asian patients, and a guideline from an East Asian perspective.
