AI Article Synopsis
- Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a life-threatening condition linked to severe heart issues, particularly in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), where the role of epigenetic factors, like miRNAs, is not well understood.
- In a study involving 49 STEMI patients, researchers found that miR-619-5p levels were significantly higher in those experiencing CS compared to those without, indicating its potential as a biomarker for assessing risk and mortality outcomes.
- The study concluded that miR-619-5p not only correlates with inflammatory responses but also serves as a critical indicator for predicting patient mortality within a 30-day follow-up in CS patients.
Article Abstract
Background: Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a severe myocardial dysfunction secondary to various cardiac conditions including ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) and associated with a high risk of death. Little is known on epigenetic determinants in CS. Here, we investigated plasma miRNAs in relation to CS stratification in STEMI-patients.
Methods: STEMI-patients (n = 49), with (CS, n = 25) and without CS (non-CS, n = 24) fulfilling inclusion criteria were included from HSCSP-cohort (Derivation-cohort). CS-miRNAs were analysed by Affymetrix-microarray and RT-PCR. Results were validated in a second cohort of CS-patients (CardShock: n = 35) with similar inclusion/exclusion criteria as the derivation cohort. In silico analysis were performed to identify potential miRNA target genes.
Results: Of the 5-miRNA signature obtained from microarray analysis, miR-619-5p showed higher levels in CS than in Non-CS patients (p = .003) and discriminating power for CS by ROC (AUC: .752, p = .003). miR-619-5p directly associated with risk scores [GRACE, p = .001; CardShock, p < .001]. Furthermore, miR-619-5p showed discrimination power for death in CS. Thus, miRNA levels were significantly higher in patients with mortality outcome both in the Derivation HSCSP-cohort (p = .02; AUC: .78 ± .095) and the Validation CardShock-cohort (p = .017; AUC: .737 ± .086) By in silico analysis, miR-619-5p target genes and TNF-alpha were involved in the regulation of inflammation. miR-619-5p and TNF-alpha levels discriminated mortality outcome in CS-patients during 30-day follow-up (Validation-Cohort: ROC: .812, p = .002; HR: 9.99, p = .003).
Conclusions: Up-regulation of miR-619-5p is found in the plasma of STEMI-patients with CS and mortality outcome. These findings highlight the specificity of epigenetic regulation of inflammation on the disease severity of MI.

Unlabelled: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedure is a well-established therapeutic measure for severe aortic stenosis with expanding indications. We present a case of a patient who had undergone a TAVI procedure during cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the grounds of cardiogenic shock.
Learning Objectives: During the past decade, as platform and delivery technology regarding the implementation of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) have improved, procedure indications expanded both to low and very high-risk patients.
