Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate prospectively the clinical impact of routine transmission of CYP2C19 genotype in the management of acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction with primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
Background: Response to clopidogrel differs widely among patients, notably because of CYP2C19 genetic polymorphisms.
Methods: CYP2C19 genotype (6 alleles) was determined centrally and communicated within 4.1 ± 1.9 days of primary percutaneous coronary intervention in 1,445 patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction recruited at 57 centers in France. CYP2C19 metabolic status was predicted from genotype and served to adjust thienopyridine treatment. The primary endpoint was differences in 12-month outcomes (death, myocardial infarction, and stent thrombosis) between patients with the wild-type genotype or gain-of-function allele (class 1, n = 1,118) and those with loss-of-function (LOF) alleles (class 2, n = 272) who received optimized thienopyridine treatment.
Results: Detection of LOF alleles resulted in adjustment of P2Y inhibition in 85% of patients, with significantly higher use of prasugrel or double-dose clopidogrel. The primary endpoint did not differ between class 1 and class 2 patients (3.31% vs. 3.04%, respectively; p = 0.82). In contrast, carriers of LOF alleles without treatment adjustment had significantly worse outcomes (15.6%; p < 0.05). Bleeding rates were not different between groups.
Conclusions: In a real-world setting, a complete CYPC2C19 genotype can be mostly determined in <7 days using analysis of saliva deoxyribonucleic acid collected during the in-hospital phase among patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Genotype information led to stronger platelet inhibition treatment in the vast majority of LOF allele carriers and to similar clinical outcomes as in patients carrying the wild-type genotype or gain-of-function allele.

Aims: To identify differences in CT-derived perivascular (PVAT) and epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) characteristics that may indicate inflammatory status differences between post-treatment acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and stable coronary artery disease (CAD) patients.
Methods And Results: A cohort of 205 post-AMI patients (age 59.8±9.

This study analyzed the association of romosozumab, a human monoclonal antibody with bone-forming and bone resorption-inhibiting effects, and bisphosphonates with the development of cardiovascular disease among patients with osteoporosis. A new-user design was employed to address selection bias, and instrumental variable analysis was used to address confounding by indication. Japanese patients aged ≥40 years, diagnosed with osteoporosis or experienced a fragility fracture, were admitted to medical facilities covered by a commercial administrative claims database, and newly prescribed romosozumab or bisphosphonates after the commercialization of romosozumab in Japan (March 4, 2019) were included based on verification of a 180-day washout period.

Aims: This post hoc analysis aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of the non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist finerenone by baseline diuretic use in FIDELITY, a pre-specified pooled analysis of the phase III trials FIDELIO-DKD and FIGARO-DKD.
Methods And Results: Eligible patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and chronic kidney disease (CKD; urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio [UACR] ≥30-<300 mg/g and estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] ≥25-≤90 ml/min/1.73 m, or UACR ≥300-≤5000 mg/g and eGFR ≥25 ml/min/1.

Aims: This study aimed to investigate incidence and predictors of weaning failure and in-hospital death after successful weaning from veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS).
Methods And Results: Overall, 685 patients with CS treated with VA-ECMO from 23 tertiary care centres in 7 countries were analysed (median age 57 [interquartile range 49-66] years, 542 [79.1%] male, median lactate 7.

Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) causes increased health care resource utilization (HCRU) and costs in the United States. People with T2D are more likely to have atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), which is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Medical associations recommend cardioprotective antidiabetic medications, including sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with T2D with established, or a high risk of, ASCVD, but not all eligible patients receive these medications.
