Background: The Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) risk score estimates mortality for patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). This study aimed to investigate whether biomarkers reflecting the neurohormonal response (pro-atrial natriuretic peptide (proANP), mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM), and copeptin), inflammation (suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (ST2), C-reactive protein (CRP), and leukocytes), and troponin add prognostic value to the TIMI risk score.

Methods: This sub-study of the prospective PREDICT cohort included 1700 non-comatose and non-cardiogenic shock STEMI patients upon admission. Blood samples were collected before coronary angiography. Biomarker quartiles (Q4vsQ1-3) association with 30-day mortality were examined using Cox proportional hazard models.

Results: High levels of all biomarkers were associated with 30-day mortality independently of TIMI risk score, hazard ratio (HR) (95%CI), MR-proADM: 8.8 (3.9-20), proANP: 3.5 (1.8-6.7), copeptin: 1.9 (1.1-3.5), ST2: 4.5 (2.3-8.6), CRP: 2.6 (1.3-4.9), and leukocyte: 2.18 (1.2;4.0). TIMI risk score had a high prognostic value, AUC(95%CI): 0.76 (0.69-0.83). Only MR-proADM, proANP, CRP, ST2, and TnT added prognostic value to the risk score, 0.84 (0.77-0.91), 0.80 (0.74-0.87), 0.78 (0.71-0.86), 0.81 (0.73-0.88), and 0.79 (0.71-0.87), respectively. However, MR-proADM demonstrated a higher prognostic value on its own (0.86 (0.80-0.91)).

Conclusion: TIMI risk score and all the biomarkers added prognostic values of 30-day mortality. The strongest predictor of 30-day mortality was observed for MR-proADM alone.

Impact of DPP-4 Inhibitors in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus and Heart Failure: An In-Depth Review.

Medicina (Kaunas)

December 2024

Medicine Department, Parc Taulí Hospital Universitari, Institut d'Investigació i Innovació Parc Taulí I3PT, 08208 Sabadell, Spain.

The increasing prevalence of both type 2 diabetes mellitus and heart failure has underscored the urgent need for optimized therapeutic strategies that address the complex interplay between these conditions. Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors have emerged as a popular class of glucose-lowering agents due to their favorable glycemic effects, safety profile, and potential cardiovascular benefits. However, the impact of DPP-4 inhibitors on heart failure outcomes in patients with diabetes remains contentious, with conflicting evidence from clinical trials and observational studies.

Article Synopsis
  • Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is a rare condition usually found during coronary angiography and can increase the risk of blood clots.
  • A 40-year-old male with acute coronary syndrome experienced a complete blockage in his ectatic left circumflex artery and the dominant right coronary artery.
  • After thrombus aspiration restored normal blood flow, the case highlights the difficulties in treating acute coronary syndrome in patients with CAE and stresses the need for further research on effective treatment methods.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on elderly patients (70+) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) at a tertiary center in Upper Egypt, highlighting a growing concern for cardiovascular disease in aging populations.
  • The research included data from 3,627 patients, finding that 15.9% were elderly, with significantly higher in-hospital mortality rates, particularly among octogenarians (23.3%) compared to younger patients (4%).
  • Elderly patients showed distinct clinical characteristics, such as higher rates of hypertension and chronic kidney disease, and were more likely to have severe complications post-procedure, emphasizing the need for tailored strategies in managing this demographic in cardiovascular care.
