Abstract
BACKGROUND Exploring the factors that impact the time from symptom onset to first medical contact (S2FMC) is crucial for improving outcomes in elderly patients diagnosed with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). This study conducted a retrospective analysis on 282 patients who underwent emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) in Guangzhou City District to identify significant factors affecting S2FMC. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on 282 patients with STEMI who underwent emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Descriptive statistics, univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to identify significant factors affecting S2FMC. Additionally, interactions between risk factors were examined using multivariate logistic regression and the structural equation model (SEM). RESULTS Age (HR=0.984, 95% CI: 0.975-0.993), nature of chest pain (HR=2.561, 95% CI: 1.900-3.458), admission mode (HR=1.805, 95% CI: 1.358-2.400), and vascular characteristics (HR=1.246, 95% CI: 1.069-1.451) were independent influencing factors for S2FMC. Persistent chest tightness/pain, EMS admission, and vascular characteristics (RCADL or LCADL) played a protective role in S2FMC. Among the influencing factors, vascular characteristics (OR=1.072, 95% CI: 1.008-1.141) had an independent effect on the nature of chest pain. Meanwhile, the nature of chest pain (OR=1.148, 95% CI: 1.015-1.298) was an independent influencing factor in the admission mode. CONCLUSIONS Patients with persistent chest tightness/pain, EMS admission, and vascular characteristics (RCADL or LCADL) experienced shorter S2FMC and higher compliance rate (S2FMC ≤180 min). At the same time, age and other vascular features played an inverse role. This study proposes enhancing follow-up and monitoring measures, and shows the consequences of intermittent chest pain should not be disregarded.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A phase II trial on recombinant human tenecteplase tissue-type plasminogen activator (rhTNK-tPA) has previously shown its preliminary efficacy in ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. This study was designed as a pivotal postmarketing trial to compare its efficacy and safety with rrecombinant human tissue-type plasminogen activator alteplase (rt-PA) in Chinese patients with STEMI. METHODS In this multicenter, randomized, open-label, non-inferiority trial, patients with acute STEMI were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive an intravenous bolus of 16 mg rhTNK-tPA or an intravenous bolus of 8 mg rt-PA followed by an infusion of 42 mg in 90 min. The primary endpoint was recanalization defined by thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade 2 or 3. The secondary endpoint was clinically justified recanalization. Other endpoints included 30-day major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) and safety endpoints. RESULTS From July 2016 to September 2019, 767 eligible patients were randomly assigned to receive rhTNK-tPA ( n = 384) or rt-PA ( n = 383). Among them, 369 patients had coronary angiography data on TIMI flow, and 711 patients had data on clinically justified recanalization. Both used a -15% difference as the non-inferiority efficacy margin. In comparison to rt-PA, both the proportion of patients with TIMI grade 2 or 3 flow (78.3% [148/189] vs. 81.7% [147/180]; differences: -3.4%; 95% confidence interval [CI]: -11.5%, 4.8%) and clinically justified recanalization (85.4% [305/357] vs. 85.9% [304/354]; difference: -0.5%; 95% CI: -5.6%, 4.7%) in the rhTNK-tPA group were non-inferior. The occurrence of 30-day MACCEs (10.2% [39/384] vs. 11.0% [42/383]; hazard ratio: 0.96; 95% CI: 0.61, 1.50) did not differ significantly between groups. No safety outcomes significantly differed between groups. CONCLUSION rhTNK-tPA was non-inferior to rt-PA in the effect of improving recanalization of the infarct-related artery, a validated surrogate of clinical outcomes, among Chinese patients with acute STEMI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited data are available on the changes in the quality of care for ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) during China's health system reform from 2009 to 2020. This study aimed to assess the changes in care processes and outcome for STEMI patients in Henan province of central China between 2011 and 2018. METHODS We compared the data from the Henan STEMI survey conducted in 2011-2012 ( n = 1548, a cross-sectional study) and the Henan STEMI registry in 2016-2018 ( n = 4748, a multicenter, prospective observational study). Changes in care processes and in-hospital mortality were determined. Process of care measures included reperfusion therapies, aspirin, P2Y12 antagonists, β-blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers, and statins. Therapy use was analyzed among patients who were considered ideal candidates for treatment. RESULTS STEMI patients in 2016-2018 were younger (median age: 63.1 vs . 63.8 years) with a lower proportion of women (24.4% [1156/4748] vs . 28.2% [437/1548]) than in 2011-2012. The composite use rate for guideline-recommended treatments increased significantly from 2011 to 2018 (60.9% [5424/8901] vs . 82.7% [22,439/27,129], P <0.001). The proportion of patients treated by reperfusion within 12 h increased from 44.1% (546/1237) to 78.4% (2698/3440) ( P <0.001) with a prolonged median onset-to-first medical contact time (from 144 min to 210 min, P <0.001). The use of antiplatelet agents, statins, and β-blockers increased significantly. The risk of in-hospital mortality significantly decreased over time (6.1% [95/1548] vs . 4.2% [198/4748], odds ratio [OR]: 0.67, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.50-0.88, P = 0.005) after adjustment. CONCLUSIONS Gradual implementation of the guideline-recommended treatments in STEMI patients from 2011 to 2018 has been associated with decreased in-hospital mortality. However, gaps persist between clinical practice and guideline recommendation. Public awareness, reperfusion strategies, and construction of chest pain centers need to be further underscored in central China.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reperfusion therapy is fundamental for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, the details of contemporary practice and factors associated with reperfusion therapy in China are largely unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to explore reperfusion practice and its associated factors among hospitalized patients with STEMI in China. METHODS Patients with STEMI who were admitted to 159 tertiary hospitals from 30 provinces in China were included in the Improving Care for Cardiovascular Disease in China-Acute Coronary Syndrome project from November 2014 to December 2019. The associations of the characteristics of patients and hospitals with reperfusion were examined using hierarchical logistic regression. The associations between therapies and in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events were examined with a mixed effects Cox regression model. RESULTS Among the 59,447 patients, 37,485 (63.1%) underwent reperfusion, including 4556 (7.7%) receiving fibrinolysis and 32,929 (55.4%) receiving primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The reperfusion rate varied across geographical regions (48.0%-73.5%). The overall rate increased from 60.0% to 69.7% from 2014 to 2019, mainly due to an increase in primary PCI within 12 h of symptom onset. Timely PCI, but not fibrinolysis alone, was associated with a decreased risk of in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events compared with no reperfusion, with an adjusted hazard ratio (95% confidence interval) of 0.64 (0.54,0.76) for primary PCI at <12 h, 0.53 (0.37,0.74) for primary PCI at 12 to 24 h, 0.46 (0.25,0.82) for the pharmaco-invasive strategy, and 0.79 (0.54,1.15) for fibrinolysis alone. CONCLUSIONS Nationwide quality improvement initiatives should be strengthened to increase the reperfusion rate and reduce inequality in China. TRIAL REGISTRATION www.ClinicalTrials.gov , NCT02306616.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the association between left ventricular ejection fraction recovery and the total oxidant status, total antioxidant capacity, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels. METHODS A total of 264 ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients were classified into two groups according to baseline and 6-month follow-up left ventricular systolic function: reduced and recovery systolic function. Predictors of the recovery of left ventricular ejection fraction were determined by multivariate regression analyses. RESULTS Multivariable analysis indicated that oxidative status index, baseline left ventricular ejection fraction and peak creatine-kinase myocardial bundle level, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein were independently associated with the decreased of left ventricular ejection fraction at 6-month follow-up. CONCLUSION Oxidative stress and inflammation parameters were detrimental to the recovery of left ventricular ejection fraction in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A normal coronary angiogram in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) can be considered a myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) until an alternative diagnosis is obtained. However, the COVID-19 pandemic might delay urgent coronary angiography in a resource-limited setting. Perimyocarditis often causes symptoms, such as chest pain, as well as ST-elevation and high cardiac troponin levels. This STEMI mimicker can also cause cardiogenic shock and death when not treated properly. CASE REPORT A 40-year-old man reported having acute onset of substernal chest pain, which was suspected to be STEMI. The patient was an active smoker without any risk factors or a history of cardiovascular disease. The examination showed elevated cardiac troponin I, ST-elevation in high lateral leads, and regional wall motion abnormality (RWMA) by echocardiogram. Furthermore, thrombolytic therapy had failed, and rescue percutaneous coronary intervention was not performed due to the catheterization laboratory limitation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Before coronary angiography, the patient was scheduled for 2 consecutive days of COVID-19 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) swabs. On the second day of hospitalization, the patient experienced a cardiogenic shock. The COVID-19 PCR results were negative, while coronary angiography revealed normal coronary arteries. The patient was eventually diagnosed with probable acute perimyocarditis. CONCLUSIONS Myocarditis is implicated in young patients without typical cardiovascular risk factors or in those with recent infection and cardiovascular symptoms mimicking acute coronary syndrome. It might also be present in situations where ST-elevation distribution on the electrocardiogram is discordant with the RWMA observed on the echocardiogram.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown conflicting results on the benefits of deferred stenting (DS) in infarct size and the incidence of microvascular obstruction in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, effect of DS on left ventricular (LV) function was not known. We aimed to evaluate whether DS improve LV function and relevant clinical outcomes after STEMI, using follow-up data from the INNOVATION study (NCT02324348). METHODS In total, 114 patients were randomly assigned to DS group or immediate stenting (IS) group at a 1:1 ratio. LV functional remodeling indices and MACE (major adverse cardiac events: a composite of death, non-fatal MI, unplanned target vessel revascularization, or hospitalization due to heart failure) were compared between DS and IS groups. RESULTS Serial echocardiographic analyses were completed in 89 subjects (78%). There were no significant changes in LV volume in either group. While LV ejection fraction and wall motion score index (WMSI) improved in both groups during follow-up, the increments were not statistically different between the 2 groups (4.3 ± 8.2 vs 3.2 ± 7.1, P = .504 for ΔLV ejection fraction; -0.16 ± 0.25 vs -0.16 ± 0.25, P = .99 for ΔWMSI). However, E/e'' was decreased and e' was increased only in the DS group (-3.31 ± 5.60 vs -0.46 ± 3.10, P = .005 for ΔE/e'; 0.77 ± 1.71 vs -0.22 ± 1.64, P = .009 for Δe'). The incidence of major adverse cardiac events was numerically lower in the DS group than in the IS group without a statistical significance at 1-year follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Routine DS improved LV diastolic function but not systolic function compared with IS in patients with STEMI.

Abstract
ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients with multivessel disease (MVD) have a higher incidence of slow-flow/no-reflow (SF-NR) phenomenon during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) than those with single vessel disease. Currently, no effective tools exist to predict the risk of SF-NR in this population. The present study aimed to evaluate whether CHA2DS2-VASc score can be used as a simple tool to predict this risk.This study consecutively included STEMI patients hospitalized in Beijing Anzhen Hospital from January 2005 to January 2015. Among these patients, 1032 patients with MVD were finally enrolled. Patients were divided into SF-NR (+) group and SF-NR (-) group according to whether SF-NR occurred during PPCI. SF-NR was defined as the thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) grade ≤2.There were 134 patients (13%) in the SF-NR (+) group. Compared with the SF-NR (-) group, patients in the SF-NR (+) group are elder, with lower left ventricular ejection fraction and higher CHA2DS2-VASc score. Multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that CHA2DS2-VASc score ≥3 (odds ratio [OR], 2.148; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.389-3.320; P = .001), current smoking (OR, 1.814; 95% CI, 1.19-2.764; P = .006), atrial fibrillation (OR, 2.892; 95% CI, 1.138-7.350; P = .03), complete revascularization (OR, 2.307; 95% CI, 1.202-4.429; P = .01), and total length of stents ≥40 mm (OR, 1.482; 95% CI, 1.011-2.172; P = .04) were independent risk factors of SF-NR. The incidence of SF-NR in patients with CHA2DS2-VASc score ≥3 was 1.7 times higher than that in patients with CHA2DS2-VASc score <3. Additionally, patients with CHA2DS2-VASc score ≥3 plus ≥2 risk factors have 3 times higher incidence of SF-NR than those with CHA2DS2-VASc score ≥3 plus 0 to 1 risk factor.CHA2DS2-VASc score ≥3 can be used as a simple and sensitive indicator to predict SF-NR phenomenon and guide the PPCI strategy in STEMI patients with MVD.

Abstract
Platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors (GPIs) have been part of the adjuvant treatment of acute coronary syndrome for years. However, real-life data regarding the efficacy and safety of GPIs under the current indications are lacking in the setting of potent platelet inhibition. The objectives were to assess the efficacy and safety of abciximab versus tirofiban in patients with ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) and pretreated with ticagrelor, and to identify independent predictor factors of efficacy, bleeding and platelet drop. Three hundred sixty-two patients were divided by GPI administered. Clinical, laboratory, angiographic and outcome characteristics were compared. The primary objective was a composite efficacy endpoint (death from any cause, nonfatal myocardial infarction and nonfatal stroke) at 30 days. The secondary objectives were its individual components, safety (bleeding) and the impact on platelet count during hospital stay. The composite efficacy endpoint was similar in the abciximab and tirofiban groups (6.1% vs 7.3%; p = .632). There were also no differences in cardiovascular death (2.5% vs 2.4%; p = .958), nonfatal myocardial infarction (3% vs 4.3%; p = .521) and nonfatal stroke (0.5% vs 1.8%; p = .332). Tirofiban administration was associated with a higher incidence of bleeding (11.6% vs 22%; p = .008) with no differences in BARC ≥ 3b bleeding (3.6 vs 2.5%; p = .760). In STEMI patients undergoing PPCI with ticagrelor, abciximab and tirofiban had similar rates in the composite efficacy endpoint at 30 days. The 30-day bleeding rate was significantly higher in the tirofiban group. Tirofiban administration was an independent predictor of both bleeding and platelet count drop.

Abstract
Cardiac abnormalities are frequently reported in acute subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) patients. However, frank ST-elevation and myocardial dysfunction mimicking acute coronary syndrome is a rare occurrence. Systemic and local catecholamine release mediate myocardial injury and may explain raised troponin levels, concordant regional wall motion abnormalities and systolic dysfunction. These findings can pose a significant problem in the acute setting where "time-is-muscle" paradigm can rush clinicians towards a "rule-in" diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. We present the case of a 60-year-old male who arrived at a regional emergency department with loss of consciousness, chest pain and headache. His ECG showed ST-elevation in precordial leads with corresponding region wall motion abnormalities and dynamically elevated troponin levels which supported a diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. Percutaneous coronary intervention was attempted but found no hemodynamically significant lesions and the patient was managed conservatively with antithrombotic treatment. Further work-up for his headache led to the diagnosis of aneurysmal SAH and subsequent endovascular coiling. The patient was discharged with a good clinical outcome. We discuss the potential catastrophic consequences of interpreting neurologic myocardial stunning as STEMI. Use of potent antithrombotic therapies, like bridging thrombolysis, in this setting can lead to dismal consequences. Clinical history should still be carefully obtained in the acute setting in this era of sensitive biomarkers.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to evaluate the impact of gender on the outcomes among ST elevation myocardial infarction patients at King Abdulaziz Medical City in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Methods This retrospective study analyzed the data of 900 patients (770 males and 130 females) admitted between January 2016 and December 2018 diagnosed with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). We recorded the baseline characteristics, comorbidities, treatment, complications, and mortality for all patients, and compared these data between female and male patients. Results The baseline characteristics: BMI and age were higher in females and were statistically significant (p = 0.0001). We found a higher incidence of heart failure in females than in males which was statistically significant (p = 0.0010). In addition, the mortality rate was higher in female than in male patients, although this difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.3850). Conclusion In conclusion, despite the advances in the technology and the use of novel reperfusion therapies females were associated with poorer outcomes after adjustment of the baseline characteristics and risk factors. In other words, heart failure, mitral regurgitation, and arrhythmias were higher in females with significant p values.

Abstract
The incidence of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is rising globally. Electrocardiography is still one of the best diagnostic modalities for it. Although some of the ECG changes of ACS are well known among medical practitioners, there are a handful of ECG changes that do not get the recognition they deserve. Among these are localized ST-segment depressions in a vascular territory and altered precordial T-wave balance. The urgency of management varies among the various subtypes of ACS, especially in low resource settings. ST-segment depression localized to a vascular territory is a sign of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (MI) in the reciprocal lead which may not always be evident and hence, requires emergent reperfusion therapy. On the other hand, altered precordial T-wave balance (T1 > T6, T-wave in V1 > 1.5 mm and upright T-wave in V1) may be predictive of significant coronary artery disease (CAD).

Abstract
RATIONALE The De Winter ST/T-wave complex is a rare and special electrocardiogram (ECG) manifestation in some patients with a total or subtotal occlusion in the proximal left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery. It mainly appears as an ST-segment superior oblique depression instead of an ST elevation. However, a transitory change of the De Winter ST/T-wave complex has not been reported previously. PATIENT CONCERNS A 40-year-old man developed sudden precordial dull and unrelieved pain. One hour later, he suddenly lost consciousness when he arrived at the emergency department. After successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), 2 ECGs were taken at 22-minute interval, which showed completely different manifestations. The first ECG showed acute inferior-wall ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), while the second ECG showed a De Winter ST/T-wave complex, which indicated acute anterior-wall myocardial infarction. DIAGNOSIS The patient was diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction. INTERVENTIONS The patient responded to urgent treatment by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). OUTCOMES It was confirmed that the case was consistent with the main characteristics of a De Winter ST/T-wave complex after PCI. The first ECG was a rare transitory change of the De Winter ST/T-wave complex. The patient was well recovered and discharged. LESSONS The De Winter ST/T-wave complex is an extremely dangerous and rare ECG manifestation that is not widely recognized at present. Although the mechanism is not very clear, it should be considered as indicating an equivalent risk of STEMI because it may suggest total or subtotal occlusion in the proximal LAD coronary artery. It is believed that in the near future, the mechanism of ECG including its transitory changes, will be fully revealed.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction with no obstructive coronary atherosclerosis (MINOCA) is a distinct clinical syndrome characterized by evidence of myocardial infarction with normal or near-normal coronary arteries on angiography (stenosis severity < 50%). Coronary artery spasm, as seen in “variant angina,” usually occurs at a localized segment of an epicardial artery. Here, we present a case of a 58-year-old male who had norepinephrine-induced coronary vasospasm which resulted in ST elevation myocardial infarction on two consecutive admissions.

Abstract
RATIONALE Type A aortic dissection (TAAD) is a life-threatening disorder yet it is hard to diagnose. The dissection might extend to the coronary artery causing ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Physicians might not recognize this particularly early in its presentation and patients proceed to receive the primary percutaneous coronary intervention. We present such a case and found that the marked pressure difference between the radial and ascending aortae could be a useful clue for diagnosing the aortic dissection-related myocardial infarction. PATIENT CONCERNS A 58-year-old male was presented to our emergency department for the complaint of left side chest pain that lasted for an hour with concomitant hypotension. STEMI was diagnosed at that time. DIAGNOSIS The emergent primary percutaneous intervention was performed. When the diagnostic catheter was advanced to the ascending aorta, the systolic aorta pressure became 20 mm Hg higher than radial systolic pressure. Due to the abnormally large pressure differential between the peripheral radial artery and central ascending aorta, TAAD was suspected. INTERVENTIONS After angiography and computer tomography confirmed the diagnosis of TAAD, the patient was sent for emergent surgery. OUTCOMES The patient was died because of extensive dissection and shock. LESSONS We present such a case and found that the marked pressure difference between the radial and ascending aortae during catheterization could be a useful clue for diagnosing the aortic dissection-related myocardial infarction. This clue had hinted our speedy examination of the occluded coronary artery and dissection flap, and led to an early and accurate diagnosis.

Abstract
Introduction Zwolle risk score (ZRS) is a validated scoring system to determine the time of discharge in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) also provides prognostic information after ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). We studied that the addition of LVEF to ZRS variable can improve decision making in safe and early discharge in STEMI patients post-primary coronary intervention. Methods Overall, 249 STEMI patients were studied retrospectively. LVEF was considered as an independent variable. The patients having LVEF <50% were under Group A and LVEF ≥50% were under Group B. Groups were analyzed by model comparison for overall hospital length of stay (LOS) and Intensive care unit (ICU) LOS post-primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Results There were 123 patients in Group A and 126 patients in Group B. Comparison for primary outcomes showed significant difference with hospital length of stay (LOS) being 3.1 ± 2.3 days in Group A versus 2.1 ± 0.8 days in Group B (p < 0.001). Similarly, ICU stay was also significantly higher in Group A with 36.5 ± 31.4 hours versus 24.0 ± 11.8 hours for Group B, which led to prolonged hospitalization for patients with LVEF <50%. Model 1 that considers ZRS individually is nested within Model 2 where ZRS and LVEF are considered together. The profile log-likelihood ratio test favors model 2 over model 1 (p < 0.0001). Similarly for ICU LOS, R2 = 0.12 (Model 1) < R2 = 0.20 (Model 2). The F test favors model 2 over model 1 (p < 0.0001). Conclusion We concluded that adding LVEF to Zwolle risk score gives a better model for risk stratification in STEMI patients to decide early and safe discharge post-primary PCI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Having appropriate dietary habits is part of the recommendations after ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI), however, the quality of intra-hospital nutritional counselling in the different health services has been minimally explored. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the quality of intra-hospital nutritional counselling among patients with STEMI in the public and private health systems in Sergipe. METHODS A cross-sectional, with data from the Via Crucis for the Treatment of Myocardial Infarction (VICTIM) Register, conducted from April to November of 2017, with individuals aged ≥ 18 years diagnosed with STEMI, in one public health service hospital and three private hospitals. The occurrence and quality of nutritional counselling were analyzed based on current guidelines and the administration of questionnaires. A significance level of 0.05 was adopted. RESULTS A total of 188 patients were analyzed; 80.3% were from the public health service facility. Among the interviewees, 57.6% of the public health service, and 70.3% of the private hospital patients received intra-hospital nutritional counselling (p = 0.191). The documentation of this practice, in medical records, was lower in the public service (2.6% vs. 37.8%, p < 0.001). A predominance of restrictive orientations was found in the public and private sectors, mainly regarding salt and fat, 52.3% and 70.3% respectively (p = 0.064). Patients from the private service were more counselling to introduce of cardioprotective foods, mainly fruit, vegetable/legume consumption (48.6% vs. 13.2%, p < 0.001). Among those who received counselling, nutritional knowledge was higher in the private sector (68.2% vs. 26.3%, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION The intra-hospital nutritional counselling provided to patients with STEMI, in Sergipe, still presents poor quality in both services, especially in the public health system.

Abstract
Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is associated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). The current study was performed to compare the effect of tirofiban and recombinant human pro-urokinase (rh-proUK) on the improvement of coronary slow blood after PPCI.Sixty-five ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients treated with rh-proUK and an equal number treated with tirofiban after PPCI were employed in the current study. The clinicopathological information regarding the biochemical parameters, thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) grade, hemodynamics parameters, thrombus core (TS), sum-STR, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), blood routine parameters, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP) level, uric acid, hepatorenal function, electrocardiogram (ECG), and echocardiography before and after the interventions were collected. The differences in those parameters between the 2 groups then compared with assess the treatment effect and side effects associated with the both therapies.The results showed that the TIMI level post-intervention (P = .03), the proportion of TIMI myocardial perfusion grade level III (P = .04), the changes in thrombus score (P < .001) in rh-proUK group were significantly higher than those in tirofiban group while the corrected TIMI Frame Count (CTFC) (P = .02), the incidence of slow flow (P = .02), the thrombus score post-intervention (P < .001), the stent length (P = .02), and the number of receiving administration of sodium nitroprusside (P = .01) were significantly lower than those in tirofiban group. Moreover, the levels of CK (P < .001), CK-MB (P = .01), and NT-proBNP 24-hour post-intervention (P < .02) were significantly lower in rh-proUK group than those in tirofiban group and the sum-STR right after the intervention (P < .03) of rh-proUK group was significantly higher than that of tirofiban group. No significant difference was detected between the 2 therapies regarding major adverse cardiac events (MACE).The findings outlined in the current study showed that the improvement effect of rh-proUK on blood flow condition was stronger right after the intervention and the therapy had a similar safety when compared with tirofiban during a 30-day follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been one of the fastest growing therapeutic interventions for patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, the mortality of patients with STEMI after PCI is uncertain currently. There is a paucity of systematic review on the associated factors of mortality among patients with STEMI after PCI. Therefore, this meta-analysis was designed to synthesize available evidence on the prevalence and associated factors of mortality after PCI for adult patients with STEMI. METHODS Both case-control and cohort studies reporting on mortality after PCI for patients with STEMI, published in Chinese and English will be eligible for inclusion. Studies from 12 databases covering the period from 2008 to present will be considered for systematic searches. Two reviewers will independently screen and select studies, extract data, and assess methodologic quality. When available, meta-analysis will be performed. Pooled proportions of mortality, and proportions in the exposed and unexposed groups, and population attributable fraction of each factor will be calculated by a suitable transformation of proportions. If necessary, meta-regression models, subgroup analysis, sensitivity analysis, funnel plot, and Egger test will be performed. Narrative synthesis will be done where meta-analysis cannot be performed. Reporting of this protocol will comply with the preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analyses (PRISMA-P) guidelines. RESULTS This systematic review will be developed according to the meta-analysis of observational studies in epidemiology (MOOSE) guidelines. CONCLUSION This study will provide a comprehensive review on the available evidence regarding the prevalence and associated factors of mortality for patients with STEMI following PCI. This review will be constrained by the divergence of definition and assessment of specific factors between studies. However, the development of a qualitative description of definition and assessment tools will also provide an overview of the current practice. Formal ethical approval is not required since the secondary data will be collected for systematic review. The findings will be disseminated in a relevant peer-reviewed journal and academic presentations. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION PROSPERO CRD42017070969.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary angioplasty (PA) with placement of either bare metal or drug-eluting stents (DES) represents the main strategy in the treatment of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Diabetic patients, however, represent a special population in STEMI, with high rates of restenosis and unfavorable clinical outcomes, and with the use of DES, level of evidence A and indication class II, being indicated to reduce these damages. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the DES rate of use in patients with STEMI and in the subgroup of diabetics assisted in the public versus private health network in Sergipe. METHODS This is a population-based, cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach using the data from the VICTIM Register. These were collected in the only four hospitals with capacity to perform PA in Sergipe, from December 2014 to March 2017. RESULTS A total of 707 patients diagnosed with STEMI were evaluated, of which 589 were attended at SUS and 118 at the private network. The use of DES in PA was lower in SUS compared to the private network in both the total sample (10.5% vs 82.4%, p<0.001) and in subgroup diabetic patients (8.7% vs 90.6%, p < 0.001), respectively. In all hypotheses tested, the level of significance was 5% (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The study reveals a disparity in the use of DES during the performance of PA between the public and private network, both in the total sample and the subgroup for diabetics, with lower rates for SUS users, demonstrating the challenges that need to be overcome in order to achieve quality improvements of the services provided.

Abstract
RATIONALE de Winter electrocardiograph (ECG) pattern signifies proximal left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) occlusion and extensive anterior myocardial infarction, and it is found in about 2% of patients with proximal LAD occlusion. However, it is often unrecognized by physicians. In this case report, we present a patient with chest pain but showing an atypical and delayed de Winter ECG pattern. PATIENT CONCERNS A previously healthy 61-year-old man attended our emergency department with chest pain radiating to the left arm and back for 4 hours, who was without serious cardiovascular risk factors. ECG at emergency department showed no significant changes. High-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) was within normal limit. DIAGNOSIS At 5 hours after onset, ECG showed significant upsloping ST depression at J point in precordial leads V3 to V6, slight ST elevation in aVR and depression in inferior leads, and hs-cTnI peaked at 2.610 μg/L. The diagnosis of de Winter ECG pattern was confirmed by coronary angiography with an occlusion of the proximal LAD. INTERVENTIONS A stent was implanted through percutaneous coronary intervention. OUTCOMES The patient's chest pain was relieved without further increase of hs-cTnI. ECG after procedure showed ST segment back to baseline in leads V4 to V6, but persistent ST elevation in V1 to V3 with QS or Q wave. LESSONS Timely diagnosis of de Winter ECG pattern is very important, especially the atypical and delayed ECG changes. It should be treated as ST elevation myocardial infarction equivalent and deserves emergent revascularization therapy.

Abstract
RATIONALE Infective endocarditis (IE) complicated with obstructive ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has been reported in the literature and which were mostly related to coronary artery embolism, obstruction, or compression. However, there has been no reported case discussing about IE complicated with nonobstructive STEMI. PATIENT CONCERNS In this report, we report a 38-year-old female suffering from intermittent fever and was later diagnosed as IE. Initially antibiotic was given and mitral valve surgery was also arranged due to large vegetation with severe mitral regurgitation. Nevertheless, sudden conscious loss with desaturation happened and brain computed tomography (CT) showed intracranial and subdural hemorrhage related to possible septic embolism. In addition, electrocardiography (ECG) revealed ST elevation over precordial leads, and elevation of cardiac enzymes was also noted. DIAGNOSES Emergent coronary angiography was arranged but result showed normal coronary arteries without any evidence of stenosis. The diagnoses of IE complicated with nonobstructive STEMI were made. INTERVENTIONS After coronary angiography, the patient underwent craniotomy and subdural hematoma removal. Surprisingly, follow-up ECG also revealed ST segment resolution. OUTCOMES The patient received full course antibiotic treatment and follow-up brain CT also showed improvement of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) and subdural hemorrhage. Because follow-up echocardiography still revealed severe mitral regurgitation with mitral valve prolapse due to leaflet destruction with partially decreased vegetation size, mitral valve replacement with bioprosthetic valve was performed and the patient was finally discharged smoothly. LESSONS In our knowledge, this case should be the 1st case of IE complicated with nonobstructive STEMI, which reminds physicians that nonobstructive STEMI is still an extremely rare but possible complication of IE and septic embolism related ICH should be carefully surveyed in this rare patient group.

Abstract
Statin nonadherence or discontinuation is associated with increased cardiovascular events. Many factors related to the physicians or the patients are influential in this. We aimed to compare the compliance with statin therapy between the patients who first presented with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and unstable angina pectoris (UA) based on the target achievement according to the current dyslipidemia guidelines.We retrospectively acquired all the information about demographic characteristics, in-hospital revascularization procedures, prescribed treatments, and index and up to 6-month follow-up laboratory results of the first acute coronary syndrome patients. Acute coronary syndrome patients were divided into 3 groups as STEMI, NSTEMI, and UA.The STEMI group consisted of 260 patients, NSTEMI group consisted of 560 patients, and UA group consisted of 206 patients. Seventy-six percent of patients underwent percutaneous coronary interventions, 18.3% were managed medically, and 5.7% were referred for coronary artery bypass grafting. There was a significant decrease in low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) values with the statin treatment at the follow-up in all 3 groups (for all P < .001). In the STEMI group, the percentage of those achieving the target LDL-C level was significantly higher than those who did not achieve the target according to both The American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) and European Society of Cardiology dyslipidemia guidelines. The LDL-C target achievement rates were also higher in the STEMI group than in the NSTEMI and UA groups.Our study concluded that statin treatment goals were more attained in STEMI patients than NSTEMI and UA. All physicians should encourage lifelong intensive statin treatment in UA and NSTEMI patients such as STEMI patients.

Abstract
We aimed to define factors predicting mortality in patients having ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who had Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) in our setting.This is a prospective study on patients presenting to the emergency department with STEMI who underwent PCI during a 12-month period. Physiological parameters were calculated using the vital signs and age of patients. Time-based factors in the institutional protocol were collected. Univariate analysis was performed to define significant factors that affected mortality. Significant factors were then entered into a logistic regression model. Factors significantly affecting mortality were defined. Receiving operating characteristic curve was applied to define the best predictors of mortality.A total of 167 consecutive patients were studied; 128 (76.6%) were males. The mean (SD) age of the patients was 61.9 (12.8) years. The logistic regression model showed that significant factors were age (P = .002), Modified Shock Index, MSI (P = .028), systolic blood pressure (P = .028), and time between consultation and activation of catheter laboratory (P = .047). The cut-off points with best prediction of mortality were age of 71.5 years, systolic blood pressure of less than 95 mmHg, MSI of 0.85, and a time more than 3.5 minutes between consultation and activation of catheter laboratory.Our study shows that significant predictors of 30-days mortality of STEMI were age, systolic blood pressure on presentation, MSI, and the time between consultation and catheter laboratory activation. Improving prehospital resuscitation and activation of the catheter laboratory by emergency physicians may reduce mortality in our setting.

Abstract
RATIONALE Electrocardiography (ECG) was used to diagnose acute coronary syndrome, but many other diseases may also result in ST segment change. We report one case of ingested hydrochloric acid present with ST segment elevation in the ECG. However, subsequent coronary angiography did not reveal significant coronary occlusion. PATIENT CONCERNS An 83-year-old female was transferred to our emergency department (ED) from the branch hospital due to ingestion of toilet bowl cleaner containing 9.5% hydrochloric acid. She complained about chest pain and 12-lead ECG showed ST segment elevation at lead II, III, and aVF. The blood examinations revealed elevation of aspartate transaminase (69 IU/L), thrombocytopenia (62,000/μL), and acidosis (pH 7.311, pCO2 27 mm Hg, HCO3 13.3 mmol/L). Creatine kinase-MB and troponin I did not elevate then. DIAGNOSES After transferred to our ED, coronary angiography was done within 1 hour. Angiography showed 60% stenosis in the segment 7 of left anterior descending coronary artery and 30% nonsignificant stenosis in the segment 2 of right coronary artery, with no apical ballooning. No significant lesion consistent with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction was found. INTERVENTIONS Conservative treatment was chosen. OUTCOMES Bradycardia was followed by cardiac arrest that developed 4 hours later. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was applied and the patient became shock status after return of spontaneous circulation. The patient was admitted to the intensive care unit and expired on next day. LESSONS Patients of ingested hydrochloric acid present with ST segment elevation in the ECG may not indicate coronary artery disease. This ECG finding may be a poor prognostic index in such patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multi-vessel coronary disease in people with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is common and is associated with worse prognosis after STEMI. Based on limited evidence, international guidelines recommend intervention on only the culprit vessel during STEMI. This, in turn, leaves other significantly stenosed coronary arteries for medical therapy or revascularisation based on inducible ischaemia on provocative testing. Newer data suggest that intervention on both the culprit and non-culprit stenotic coronary arteries (complete intervention) may yield better results compared with culprit-only intervention. OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of early complete revascularisation compared with culprit vessel only intervention strategy in people with STEMI and multi-vessel coronary disease. SEARCH METHODS We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, Embase, World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform Search Portal, and ClinicalTrials.gov. The date of the last search was 4 January 2017. We applied no language restrictions. We handsearched conference proceedings to December 2016, and contacted authors and companies related to the field. SELECTION CRITERIA We included only randomised controlled trials (RCTs), wherein complete revascularisation strategy was compared with a culprit-only percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for the treatment of people with STEMI and multi-vessel coronary disease. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS We assessed the methodological quality of each trial using the Cochrane 'Risk of bias' tool. We resolved the disagreements by discussion among review authors. We followed standard methodological approaches recommended by Cochrane. The primary outcomes were long-term (one year or greater after the index intervention) all-cause mortality, long-term cardiovascular mortality, long-term non-fatal myocardial infarction, and adverse events. The secondary outcomes were short-term (within the first 30 days after the index intervention) all-cause mortality, short-term cardiovascular mortality, short-term non-fatal myocardial infarction, revascularisation, health-related quality of life, and cost. We analysed data using fixed-effect models, and expressed results as risk ratios (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). We used GRADE criteria to assess the quality of evidence and we conducted Trial Sequential Analysis (TSA) to control risks of random errors. MAIN RESULTS We included nine RCTs, that involved 2633 people with STEMI and multi-vessel coronary disease randomly assigned to either a complete (n = 1381) versus culprit-only (n = 1252) revascularisation strategy. The complete and the culprit-only revascularisation strategies did not differ for long-term all-cause mortality (65/1274 (5.1%) in complete group versus 72/1143 (6.3%) in culprit-only group; RR 0.80, 95% CI 0.58 to 1.11; participants = 2417; studies = 8; I2 = 0%; very low quality evidence). Compared with culprit-only intervention, the complete revascularisation strategy was associated with a lower proportion of long-term cardiovascular mortality (28/1143 (2.4%) in complete group versus 51/1086 (4.7%) in culprit-only group; RR 0.50, 95% CI 0.32 to 0.79; participants = 2229; studies = 6; I2 = 0%; very low quality evidence) and long-term non-fatal myocardial infarction (47/1095 (4.3%) in complete group versus 70/1004 (7.0%) in culprit-only group; RR 0.62, 95% CI 0.44 to 0.89; participants = 2099; studies = 6; I2 = 0%; very low quality evidence). The complete and the culprit-only revascularisation strategies did not differ in combined adverse events (51/2096 (2.4%) in complete group versus 57/1990 (2.9%) in culprit-only group; RR 0.84, 95% CI 0.58 to 1.21; participants = 4086; I2 = 0%; very low quality evidence). Complete revascularisation was associated with lower proportion of long-term revascularisation (145/1374 (10.6%) in complete group versus 258/1242 (20.8%) in culprit-only group; RR 0.47, 95% CI 0.39 to 0.57; participants = 2616; studies = 9; I2 = 31%; very low quality evidence). TSA of long-term all-cause mortality, long-term cardiovascular mortality, and long-term non-fatal myocardial infarction showed that more RCTs are needed to reach more conclusive results on these outcomes. Regarding long-term repeat revascularisation more RCTs may not change our present result. The quality of the evidence was judged to be very low for all primary and the majority of the secondary outcomes mainly due to risk of bias, imprecision, and indirectness. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Compared with culprit-only intervention, the complete revascularisation strategy may be superior due to lower proportions of long-term cardiovascular mortality, long-term revascularisation, and long-term non-fatal myocardial infarction, but these findings are based on evidence of very low quality. TSA also supports the need for more RCTs in order to draw stronger conclusions regarding the effects of complete revascularisation on long-term all-cause mortality, long-term cardiovascular mortality, and long-term non-fatal myocardial infarction.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Among the 12 leads studied in electrocardiography (ECG), lead aVR can be considered as the most forgotten part of it since no attention is paid to it as the mirror image of other leads. Therefore, the present study has been designed with the aim of evaluating the prevalence of ST segment changes in lead aVR and its relationship with the outcome of these patients. METHODS In this retrospective cross sectional study medical profiles of patients who had presented to emergency department with the final diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI) in a 4-year period were evaluated regarding changes of ST segment in lead aVR and its relationship with in-hospital mortality, the number of vessels involved, infarct location and cardiac ejection fraction. RESULTS 288 patients with the mean age of 59.00 ± 13.14 (18 - 91) were evaluated (79.2% male). 168 (58.3%) patients had the mentioned changes (79.2% male). There was no significant relationship between presence of ST changes in lead aVR with infarct location (p = 0.976), number of vessels involved (p = 0.269) and ejection fraction on admission (p = 0.801). However, ST elevation ≥ 1 mv in lead aVR had a significant relationship with mortality (Odds = 7.72, 95% CI: 3.07 - 19.42, p < 0.001). Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values and positive and negative likelihood ratios of ST elevation ≥ 1 for prediction of in-hospital mortality were 41.66 (95% CI: 22.79 - 63.05), 91.53 (95% CI: 87.29 - 94.50), 31.25 (95% CI: 16.74 - 50.13), 94.44 (95% CI: 90.65 - 96.81), 0.45 (95% CI: 0.25 - 0.79), and 0.05 (95% CI: 0.03 - 0.09), respectively. CONCLUSION Based on the results of the present study, the prevalence of ST segment changes in lead aVR was estimated to be 58.3%. There was no significant relationship between these changes and the number of vessels involved in angiography, infarct location and cardiac ejection fraction. However, presence of ST elevation ≥ 1 in lead aVR was associated with 8 times increase in in-hospital mortality risk.
