Objectives: In Pakistan, cardiovascular risk factors for acute myocardial infarction are increasing. There are few studies available on atherosclerotic risk factors in young patients and its outcome The purpose of this study was to compare pattern of traditional CVD risk factors, hospital mortality and major adverse cardiac events at discharge in young versus old patients (≤45years and above 45 years age respectively) admitted with STEMI and undergoing primary PCI. Methodology: This retrospective cohort study was conducted on consecutive patients presenting with STEMI between June 2013 and June 2018 in a single centre cardiac only tertiary care setup. Institute’s registry is fashioned along and is affiliated with US NCDR. Patients with cardiac arrest or cardiogenic shock at arrival were excluded. MACE was defined as post PCI cardiac arrest or cardiogenic shock, heart failure, major bleed or hospital death. Models were built using stepwise forward logistic regression method. Results: Total of 5343 patients were admitted with STEMI during study period, after exclusion data of 1642 patients were analyzed. Among young patients, the frequency of the male gender, any tobacco use and family history of premature coronary artery disease were significantly higher (all p values < 0.001). While in older STEMI patients frequency of heart failure, hypertension, prior myocardial infarction, diabetes mellitus ,abnormal creatinine clearance (<90 mL/min/1.73 m²) , multi-vessel coronary disease, advanced Killip class and higher body mass index was more prevalent (all P<0.001). Among young patients advanced Killip class and femoral access site(all P values <0.001), diabetes mellitus (p=0.03), abnormal creatinine clearance(p=0.04),and left ventricular ejection fraction less than 40%(p=0.01), were more significant in-hospital mortality predictor whereas advanced Killip class, Left ventricular ejection fraction less than 40% male gender(p=0.04), diabetes mellitus(p=0.001),femoral access site(p=0.001), and Left ventricular ejection fraction less than 40% were more significant MACE predictors (all P<0.001). Conclusion: There were no significant difference in hospital mortality and MACE among young versus old STEMI patients when adjusted for diabetes mellitus, abnormal creatinine clearance (<90 mL/min/1.73 m²), multi-vessel coronary disease, advanced Killip class. Tobacco use is the main modifiable risk factors for young patients with STEMI. Surprisingly, being a woman and having a positive family history with premature coronary artery disease were protective.
目的:在巴基斯坦,急性心肌梗死的心血管风险因素正在增加。本研究的目的是比较年轻和年长(分别为 45 岁以下和 45 岁以上)STEMI 患者的传统心血管疾病危险因素、住院死亡率和出院时的主要不良心脏事件。 研究方法:这项回顾性队列研究针对 2013 年 6 月至 2018 年 6 月期间在一家仅有心脏科的三级医疗机构就诊的 STEMI 连续患者。该机构的登记系统与美国 NCDR 一致,并隶属于 NCDR。到院时心脏骤停或心源性休克的患者被排除在外。MACE定义为PCI术后心脏骤停或心源性休克、心力衰竭、大出血或住院死亡。采用逐步前向逻辑回归法建立模型。 结果研究期间共收治了 5343 名 STEMI 患者,在排除了 1642 名患者的数据后进行了分析。在年轻患者中,男性、吸烟和有早发冠状动脉疾病家族史的频率明显更高(所有 p 值均小于 0.001)。而在年龄较大的 STEMI 患者中,心力衰竭、高血压、既往心肌梗死、糖尿病、肌酐清除率异常(<90 mL/min/1.73 m²)、多支血管冠状动脉疾病、Killip 分级较高和体重指数较高者的发病率更高(所有 P 值均<0.001)。在年轻患者中,Killip分级晚期和股动脉入路部位(所有P值均<0.001)、糖尿病(P=0.03)、肌酐清除率异常(P=0.04)和左室射血分数低于40%(P=0.男性(P=0.04)、糖尿病(P=0.001)、股动脉入路部位(P=0.001)和左心室射血分数小于 40% 是更重要的 MACE 预测因素(均 P<0.001)。 结论在对糖尿病、肌酐清除率异常(<90 mL/min/1.73 m²)、多血管冠状动脉疾病、Killip分级晚期等因素进行调整后,年轻与老年STEMI患者的住院死亡率和MACE无明显差异。吸烟是 STEMI 年轻患者的主要可改变风险因素。令人惊讶的是,女性和有早发性冠状动脉疾病家族史的人具有保护作用。

Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of non-calcified coronary artery disease in patients with chest pain and a zero coronary artery calcium score, and to assess the prognostic significance of a zero coronary artery calcium score in these symptomatic patients. Methodology: All consecutive patients who underwent a CT coronary angiogram (CTCA) for evaluation of angina or angina-equivalent symptoms from 2009 to December 2020 were enrolled retrospectively. Patients with prior myocardial infarction, history of revascularization, and congenital heart disease were excluded. Follow-up data was collected by using the hospital's electronic patient record system and telephone communication. The endpoint, major-adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) was defined as the total of cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and/or non-elective revascularization. Results: A total of 534 patients were enrolled after final exclusion. The mean age was 53 years ± 11. Males constituted 68.4% of the study population. Dyslipidemia was the most common co-morbid condition identified (50%), followed by diabetes (18.4%) and hypertension (3.6%). Chest pain was the most common presenting complaint (97.4%) followed by dyspnea. At least 28.8% of patients with zero CAC scores had the presence of coronary artery disease (soft plaque) of any degree. Obstructive CAD (>50%) was present in 5.8% of patients. Follow-up was available for 61.4% of patients. The mean follow-up duration was 96.6 months ± 49.8 (range 21 – 194 months). All-cause Major Adverse Cardiovascular Event (MACE) was observed in 8.8% of patients. The most common MACE outcome was angina (3.96%) and all-cause mortality (3%). Only 2.7% required revascularization on follow-up with 1.2% having myocardial infarction and non-urgent revascularization. The baseline characteristics, all-cause MACE (p = 0.79), mortality (0.82), angina (p = 0.765), revascularization (p = 0.45), non-fatal MI, and non-elective revascularization (p = 0.6) did not differ significantly in patients with and without obstructive CAD. The baseline characteristics did not differ significantly between patients with and without MACE. Conclusion: The incidence of soft plaque in this South Asian cohort is higher than that reported in international studies. However, in symptomatic South Asians, a CAC score of zero carries a good long-term prognosis, irrespective of the degree of CAD.
目的:估计胸痛且冠状动脉钙化评分为零的患者中未钙化冠状动脉疾病的患病率,并评估冠状动脉钙化评分为零对预后的意义:估计胸痛且冠状动脉钙化评分为零的患者中未钙化冠状动脉疾病的患病率,并评估冠状动脉钙化评分为零对这些无症状患者的预后意义。 研究方法回顾性纳入2009年至2020年12月期间因心绞痛或心绞痛同等症状而接受CT冠状动脉造影(CTCA)评估的所有连续患者。曾患心肌梗死、血管重建史和先天性心脏病的患者被排除在外。随访数据通过医院的电子病历系统和电话沟通收集。终点即主要不良心血管事件(MACE)定义为心源性死亡、非致死性心肌梗死和/或非选择性血管重建的总和。 研究结果经过最终筛选,共有 534 名患者入选。男性占研究人群的 68.4%。血脂异常是最常见的并发症(50%),其次是糖尿病(18.4%)和高血压(3.6%)。胸痛是最常见的主诉(97.4%),其次是呼吸困难。在CAC评分为零的患者中,至少有28.8%存在任何程度的冠状动脉疾病(软斑块)。5.8%的患者存在阻塞性冠状动脉疾病(>50%)。61.4%的患者接受了随访。平均随访时间为 96.6 个月 ± 49.8(21 - 194 个月)。8.8%的患者出现了全因主要心血管不良事件(MACE)。最常见的 MACE 结果是心绞痛(3.96%)和全因死亡率(3%)。只有 2.7% 的患者在随访期间需要进行血管重建,其中 1.2% 的患者发生了心肌梗死并进行了非紧急血管重建。有阻塞性 CAD 和无阻塞性 CAD 患者的基线特征、全因 MACE(p = 0.79)、死亡率(0.82)、心绞痛(p = 0.765)、血管重建(p = 0.45)、非致命性心肌梗死和非选择性血管重建(p = 0.6)没有显著差异。发生 MACE 和未发生 MACE 的患者的基线特征无明显差异。 结论该南亚队列中软斑块的发生率高于国际研究报告。然而,对于无症状的南亚人来说,无论是否患有 CAD,CAC 得分为零都会带来良好的长期预后。

Objectives: To evaluate the admission neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) for risk stratification for in-hospital out-comes and complications in non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (non-ST-ACS) patients. Methodology: Methods: We recruited consecutive patients with non-ST-ACS. The NLR was obtained and stratified as low, inter- mediate, and high-risk based on <3.0, 3.0e6.0, and >6.0, respectively. The new ST-T changes, arrhythmias, contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN), and mortality were recorded. Results: Results: Median NLR was 3 [2.1-5.3] for 346 patients with 19.9% and 30.6% in high- and intermediate-risk group. New  ST-T changes were observed in 3.5% (12) out of which 8, 3, and 1 patient in low, intermediate, and high-risk group (p = 0.424), respectively. Arrhythmias were observed in 5.8% (20) with 7, 5, and 8 patients in low, intermediate, and high- risk group (p = 0.067), respectively. CIN was observed in 4.9% (17) with 5, 5, and 7 in low, intermediate, and high-risk group (p = 0.064), respectively. In-hospital mortality was recorded in 1.4% (5) with 2 and 3 patients in high and low-risk group (p = 0.260), respectively. Conclusion: A significant number of non-ST-ACS patients fall in the high-risk category of NLR. Although, the association between NLR and in-hospital mortality and adverse events was not statistically significant but relatively higher rates of events were observed in high risk group.
目的评估入院时中性粒细胞与淋巴细胞比值(NLR)对非 ST 段抬高急性冠状动脉综合征(Non-ST-ACS)患者院外结局和并发症的风险分层作用。 研究方法方法:我们招募了连续的非 ST-ACS 患者。获得 NLR,并根据 6.0 分别将其分为低危、中危和高危。记录新的 ST-T 变化、心律失常、造影剂诱发肾病(CIN)和死亡率。 结果结果:结果:346 名患者的中位 NLR 为 3 [2.1-5.3],其中高危和中危组分别占 19.9% 和 30.6%。3.5%(12 例)的患者出现新的 ST-T 改变,其中低危、中危和高危组分别为 8 例、3 例和 1 例(P = 0.424)。5.8%(20 人)的患者出现心律失常,其中低危、中危和高危组分别有 7、5 和 8 人(P = 0.067)。4.9%(17 例)的患者观察到 CIN,低、中、高风险组分别为 5、5 和 7 例(P = 0.064)。院内死亡率为 1.4%(5 例),高危组和低危组分别为 2 例和 3 例(P = 0.260)。 结论大量非 ST-ACS 患者属于 NLR 高危类别。虽然 NLR 与院内死亡率和不良事件之间的关系没有统计学意义,但观察到高风险组的不良事件发生率相对较高。

Objectives: The study aimed to investigate the association between CP2C19*2 loss of function polymorphism and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients receiving Clopidogrel. It compared genotype frequencies of heterozygous GA, homozygous GG, and homozygous AA between ACS patients and healthy controls. The study assessed the statistical significance of the association in the Pakistani cohort. It contributed to understanding the role of genetic polymorphisms in response to Clopidogrel therapy in ACS patients and provided insights into the need for pharmacogenomics testing for patients with CAD, particularly in the Asian population, who are poor metabolizers and require long-term Clopidogrel therapy. Methodology: COHORT Study. Results: The study found no statistically significant association between the CYP2C19*2 loss of function polymorphism and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in the Pakistani cohort. The frequency of the CP2C19*2 heterozygous GA genotype was 38.3% in ACS patients and 29.5% in control subjects, while the homozygous GG genotype was 58.7% in patients and 59.0% in controls. The homozygous AA genotype was 3.4% in patients and 11.4% in controls. The genotype frequency analysis showed that the wild type GG genotype was lower in patients (58.7%) compared to controls (59.0%), while the mutant AA genotype was also lower in patients (3.4%) compared to controls (11.4%). The heterozygous GA genotype was higher in patients (38.3%) compared to controls (29.5%). The population studied was in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium, with a frequency of mutant allele A at 0.26 and wild type allele G at 0.73. Conclusion: The study concludes that the CYP2C19*2 loss of function polymorphism is not associated with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in the Pakistani cohort. The distribution of the CP2C19*2 genetic polymorphism was not statistically significant between ACS patients and healthy controls. The genotype frequency analysis showed no significant differences in the distribution of the heterozygous GA, homozygous GG, and homozygous AA genotypes between the patient and control groups. The population studied was in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium, with a frequency of mutant allele A at 0.26 and wild type allele G at 0.73.
研究目的本研究旨在探讨 CP2C19*2 功能缺失多态性与接受氯吡格雷治疗的急性冠状动脉综合征(ACS)患者之间的关系。研究比较了 ACS 患者和健康对照组之间杂合 GA、同源 GG 和同源 AA 的基因型频率。该研究评估了巴基斯坦队列中这种关联的统计学意义。该研究有助于了解基因多态性在 ACS 患者对氯吡格雷治疗反应中的作用,并深入了解了对代谢不良且需要长期氯吡格雷治疗的 CAD 患者(尤其是亚洲人群)进行药物基因组学检测的必要性。 研究方法:COHORT 研究。 研究结果研究发现,在巴基斯坦队列中,CYP2C19*2 功能缺失多态性与急性冠状动脉综合征(ACS)无统计学意义。CP2C19*2 杂合 GA 基因型在 ACS 患者中的频率为 38.3%,在对照组中的频率为 29.5%,而同源 GG 基因型在患者中的频率为 58.7%,在对照组中的频率为 59.0%。同源 AA 基因型在患者中占 3.4%,在对照组中占 11.4%。 基因型频率分析表明,与对照组(59.0%)相比,野生型 GG 基因型在患者中的比例较低(58.7%),而与对照组(11.4%)相比,突变型 AA 基因型在患者中的比例也较低(3.4%)。与对照组(29.5%)相比,患者的杂合 GA 基因型更高(38.3%)。 研究人群处于哈代-温伯格平衡状态,突变等位基因 A 的频率为 0.26,野生型等位基因 G 的频率为 0.73。 结论研究得出结论,在巴基斯坦队列中,CYP2C19*2 功能缺失多态性与急性冠状动脉综合征(ACS)无关。CP2C19*2 基因多态性的分布在 ACS 患者和健康对照组之间没有统计学意义。 基因型频率分析显示,杂合GA、同源GG和同源AA基因型的分布在患者组和对照组之间无明显差异。 所研究的人群处于哈代-温伯格平衡状态,突变等位基因A的频率为0.26,野生型等位基因G的频率为0.73。

Objectives: This study aimed to determine the frequency of multi-vessel coronary artery disease (MVD) in diabetic patients presenting with anterior wall myocardial infarction (AWMI). Methodology: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, we included diabetic patients with AWMI aged between 30-70 years. Patients with either a history of clinical diagnosis based on HbA1c >6.5% / fasting blood sugar > 126 mg/dL/ random blood sugar >200 mg/dL or taking anti-hyperglycemic treatment for at least six months were taken as diabetics. Patients with angiographic evidence of significant (>70%) stenosis in two major epicardial vessels were categorized for MVD. Results: A total of 196 diabetic patients with anterior wall MI were included. Of which the mean age was 57.6±12.3 years, and 128 (65.3%) were male patients. MVD was observed in 91 (46.4%) patients. The MVD was found to be associated with a BMI ≥ 24 kg/m2 with a frequency of 51.5% vs. 35%; p=0.033, as compared to a BMI < 24 kg/m2. The frequency of MVD was higher among middle-class patients, with a frequency of 36.2%, 58.3%, and 39.5% (p=0.014) for patients in the low, middle, and upper classes, respectively. Similarly, the MVD frequency was higher among patients with hypertension (60.6% vs. 28.7%) and hyperlipidemia (62.1% vs. 38.5%) compared to non-hypertensive and non-hyperlipidemia, respectively. Conclusion: It is to be concluded that MVD is highly prevalent in diabetic patients presenting with AWMI, and it was found to be associated with BMI ≥ 24 kg/m2, middle class, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia.
目的:本研究旨在确定伴有前壁心肌梗死(AWMI)的糖尿病患者多支冠状动脉病变(MVD)的发生率。方法:在这项描述性横断面研究中,我们纳入了年龄在30-70岁之间的糖尿病AWMI患者。HbA1c + gt;6.5% /空腹血糖+ gt有临床诊断史;126 mg/dL/随机血糖及200 mg/dL或服用降糖治疗至少6个月者为糖尿病患者。血管造影显示两条主要心外膜血管明显狭窄(>70%)的患者被归类为MVD。结果:共纳入196例糖尿病前壁心肌梗死患者。其中平均年龄57.6±12.3岁,男性128例(65.3%)。91例(46.4%)患者出现MVD。BMI≥24 kg/m2与MVD相关的频率分别为51.5%和35%;p=0.033,与BMI <24 kg / m2。中产阶级的MVD发生率较高,下层、中层和上层的MVD发生率分别为36.2%、58.3%和39.5% (p=0.014)。同样,高血压(60.6% vs. 28.7%)和高脂血症(62.1% vs. 38.5%)患者的MVD频率分别高于非高血压和非高脂血症患者。结论:MVD在糖尿病AWMI患者中高发,且与BMI≥24 kg/m2、中产阶级、高血压、高脂血症相关。

Objectives: The objective of this updated meta-analysis is to consolidate high-quality peer-reviewed clinical evidence, including trials and observational studies, to evaluate the efficacy and safety of “direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs)” versus “vitamin K antagonists (VKAs)” for treating “left ventricular thrombus (LVT)”. Methodology: We included studies of either "observational" or "experimental" in nature reported original data for the head-to-head comparison of "DOACs" and "VKAs" for the treatment of LVT. The efficacy-related outcome of interest was "thrombus resolution" and safety-related outcomes of interest were; "mortality", "major bleeding", and "stroke". The “risk ratios (RRs)” for each outcome variable were calculated using the “Mantel-Haenszel method”. Results: The analysis included 19 studies comprised of 3,027 patients diagnosed with LVT. Among them, 881 received DOAC treatment, while 2,146 were treated with VKAs. DOACs showed comparable rates of LVT resolution (RR: 1.00 [0.93 – 1.08]), lower mortality incidence (RR: 0.65 [0.51 – 0.84]), similar stroke incidence (RR: 0.83 [0.61 – 1.14]), and similar major bleeding incidence (RR: 0.71 [0.50 – 1.00]) compared to VKAs. Conclusion: The meta-analysis indicates that DOACs are as effective as VKAs for treating LVT, showing comparable thrombus resolution rates, lower all-cause mortality, similar stroke risks, and clinically relevant bleeding across studies. However, these conclusions are limited by the lack of evidence from large-scale randomized studies and high-quality real-life clinical data.
目的:这项最新荟萃分析的目的是巩固高质量的同行评审临床证据,包括试验和观察性研究,以评估“直接口服抗凝剂(DOACs)”与“维生素K拮抗剂(VKAs)”治疗“左室血栓(LVT)”的有效性和安全性。方法:我们纳入了“观察”或“实验”性质的研究,报道了“doac”和“vka”治疗LVT的直接比较的原始数据。与疗效相关的结果是“血栓消退”,与安全性相关的结果是;"死亡率" "大出血"和"中风"采用“Mantel-Haenszel法”计算各结果变量的“风险比(rr)”。结果:该分析包括19项研究,包括3027例诊断为LVT的患者。其中DOAC治疗881例,vka治疗2146例。与vka相比,doac的LVT消退率(RR: 1.00[0.93 - 1.08])、死亡率(RR: 0.65[0.51 - 0.84])、卒中发生率(RR: 0.83[0.61 - 1.14])和大出血发生率(RR: 0.71[0.50 - 1.00])相似。结论:荟萃分析表明,DOACs与vka在治疗LVT方面同样有效,各研究显示出相似的血栓溶解率、更低的全因死亡率、相似的卒中风险和临床相关出血。然而,这些结论受到缺乏大规模随机研究证据和高质量真实临床数据的限制。

Genetics and Ischemic Heart Disease: Should We Opt for Genetic Testing for Primary Prevention? 遗传学与缺血性心脏病:我们应该选择基因检测进行一级预防吗?

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are a prevalent health concern within the general population of Pakistan, where the average lifespan is notably lower than the global average, with men typically living to 67 years and women to 69 years. According to the 2019 Global Burden of Disease study, Pakistan had an estimated age-standardized incidence rate of CVD at 918.18 per 100,000 (compared to the global rate of 684.33 per 100,000), along with an age-standardized death rate of 357.88 per 100,000 (globally, this rate is 239.85 per 100,000).1 Coronary heart disease (CHD), as revealed by the Framingham Heart Study focusing on individuals aged 40 to 94 without prior heart disease, displayed a lifetime risk of 49% for men and 32% for women when reaching the age of 40.2 There has been a declining trend in death rates in the United States attributed to CVD, CHD, and stroke since 1975. Data from 2000 to 2008 also indicate a decline in CHD mortality.3 Worryingly, the World Health Organization (WHO) reports a concerning rise in CHD-related fatalities in Pakistan. In 2020, 240,720 individuals died due to CHD, accounting for 16.49% of all deaths. This highlights an escalating trend of CHD-related mortality in Pakistan. It's important to note that most individuals presenting with cardiac events have one or more established or borderline risk factors aside from age and gender.4-6 While some essential risk factors are discernible, others may remain elusive. The screening of these risk factors and the evidence for targeted therapeutic interventions are still emerging and require further exploration.7 The starting point for assessing CVD risk factors is variables used to predict major cardiovascular events. These include age, sex, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, diabetes mellitus, and smoking status. Although risk assessment tools like the Pooled Cohort Equation in 2014 and Astro-CHARM have been developed, they have yet to provide satisfactory assessments for potential new CVD risk factors.8 CHD is recognized as a multifactorial disorder resulting from genetic and environmental factors interplay. Environmental risk factors have been identified in approximately 80% of CHD cases.9 Several risk scores, such as the Framingham Risk Score, PROCAM, Reynolds Risk Score, and QRISK 2, have been proposed to guide the use of statins in high-risk groups.10-14 Yet, these risk scores often lack precision and may either overestimate or underestimate future CHD events.15,16 The variation in disease susceptibility among individuals with similar environmental factors and conventional coronary artery disease risk factors (CRFs) may be attributed to genetic variations.17 Genetic analysis can potentially enhance risk discrimination beyond the consideration of CRFs alone. Family history of heart disease, accounting for more than 40% of risk estimation, has long been considered a part of CRFs.18 Candidate gene studies have been conducted to identify common variants in genes associated with d
心血管疾病是巴基斯坦普通人口中普遍存在的健康问题,巴基斯坦人的平均寿命明显低于全球平均水平,男性通常活到67岁,女性为69岁。根据2019年全球疾病负担研究,巴基斯坦的心血管疾病年龄标准化发病率估计为每10万人918.18例(全球为每10万人684.33例),年龄标准化死亡率为每10万人357.88例(全球为每10万人239.85例)弗雷明汉心脏研究(Framingham heart Study)对40 - 94岁无心脏病的人群进行了研究,结果显示,在40.2岁时,男性患冠心病(CHD)的风险为49%,女性为32%。自1975年以来,美国因心血管疾病、冠心病和中风导致的死亡率呈下降趋势。2000年至2008年的数据也表明冠心病死亡率有所下降令人担忧的是,世界卫生组织(世卫组织)报告称,巴基斯坦与冠心病相关的死亡人数出现了令人担忧的上升。2020年,冠心病死亡240720人,占总死亡人数的16.49%。这突出表明巴基斯坦与冠心病相关的死亡率呈上升趋势。值得注意的是,除了年龄和性别之外,大多数出现心脏事件的人都有一个或多个确定的或边缘性的危险因素。虽然一些基本的风险因素是可识别的,但其他的可能仍然难以捉摸。这些危险因素的筛选和针对性治疗干预的证据仍在不断涌现,需要进一步探索评估心血管疾病危险因素的起点是用于预测主要心血管事件的变量。这些因素包括年龄、性别、血压、胆固醇水平、糖尿病和吸烟状况。尽管2014年的Pooled Cohort Equation和Astro-CHARM等风险评估工具已经开发出来,但它们尚未对潜在的新心血管疾病风险因素提供令人满意的评估冠心病被认为是一种遗传和环境因素相互作用的多因素疾病。环境风险因素已在大约80%的冠心病病例中被确定一些风险评分,如Framingham风险评分、PROCAM、Reynolds风险评分和QRISK 2,已被提出用于指导高危人群使用他汀类药物。10-14然而,这些风险评分往往缺乏准确性,可能高估或低估未来的冠心病事件。15,16具有相似环境因素和常规冠状动脉疾病危险因素(CRFs)的个体之间的疾病易感性差异可能归因于遗传变异遗传分析可以潜在地增强风险区分,而不仅仅是考虑CRFs。心脏病家族史占风险估计的40%以上,长期以来一直被认为是crfs的一部分候选基因研究已经进行,以确定与疾病途径相关的基因的常见变异单核苷酸多态性(snp)已被用作遗传多样性的标记。在这些snp中,位于9p21位点的snp与冠心病风险的相关性最强。20,21然而,尽管这些变异与冠心病事件之间存在明确的联系,但与传统的危险因素相比,9p21位点snp并没有明确地改善冠心病风险的预测或分类。22-24值得注意的是,大多数关于冠心病的遗传研究主要集中在欧洲/高加索人群,其对包括巴基斯坦在内的南亚人群的适用性需要进一步调查。25,26在这种情况下,巴基斯坦人口,就像其他亚洲国家一样,在冠心病的基因研究中代表性不足。Shahid SU等人在这方面做了一些工作,27在巴基斯坦人群中显示了21个snp风险评分,用于遗传风险分析。总之,尽管针对巴基斯坦40岁及以上人群开发了不同的风险评估工具,但迫切需要通过识别与冠心病相关的遗传标记来扩大心脏风险评估,特别是在年轻人群中。这对于提高我们对冠心病危险因素的认识和制定更有效的预防和干预策略至关重要。萨马德Z,哈尼夫B.巴基斯坦的心血管疾病:想象大流行后、冲突后的未来。循环。2023;147(17):1261 - 3。刘建军,刘建军,刘建军,等。冠状动脉粥样硬化的研究进展。柳叶刀》。1999;353(9147):89 - 92。李建军,李建军,李建军,等。美国冠心病、中风和其他心血管疾病的趋势和差异:心血管疾病预防全国会议的结果。循环。2000;102(25):3137 - 47。Greenland P, Knoll MD, Stamler J, Neaton JD, Dyer AR, Garside DB,等。

Objectives: The study aims to evaluate the severity of heart failure (HF) and its impact on the patient's quality of life (QoL). Methodology: A multicenter, observational study was conducted across 100 medical facilities in Pakistan. Symptomatic HF patients (NYHA Class-II to IV) diagnosed ≥ 1 year ago, aged ≥ 18 years, and advised for echocardiography were invited. A total of 961 patients agreed to participate. HF severity was assessed based on ejection fraction (EF %) and NYHA class. The Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) was used to assess the effect of HF on the patient's QoL. Results: The patients' overall health status exhibited poor scores, with a mean KCCQ score of 20.26±8.34. Concerning left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), 25.9% of patients displayed moderate dysfunction (LVEF 30% to 39%), while 29.1% had severe dysfunction (LVEF < 30%). The distribution across NYHA classes was Class II included 451 patients (46.9%), Class III included 317 patients (33.0%), and Class IV included 193 patients (20.1%). High-quality-of-life (HR-QoL) assessments using the KCCQ exhibited significant correlations with both LVEF (rs=-0.394, p<0.01) and NYHA class (rs=-0.615, p<0.01). Notably, the mean KCCQ score displayed considerable variation across NYHA classes, Class II had a mean score of 25.42±7.95, Class III had 20.90±7.67, and Class IV had 16.41±8.94. Significant predictors of quality of life (KCCQ score) included age and NYHA. Conclusion: It is concluded from the study results that HR-QoL is significantly correlated with the severity of HF based on ejection fraction and NYHA class.
目的:本研究旨在评估心力衰竭(HF)的严重程度及其对患者生活质量(QoL)的影响。方法:在巴基斯坦的100家医疗机构进行了一项多中心观察性研究。入选诊断≥1年前、年龄≥18岁、建议行超声心动图检查的有症状HF患者(NYHA ii - IV级)。共有961名患者同意参与。根据射血分数(EF %)和NYHA分级评估HF严重程度。采用堪萨斯城心肌病问卷(KCCQ)评估心衰对患者生活质量的影响。结果:患者整体健康状况评分较差,KCCQ平均评分为20.26±8.34。关于左心室射血分数(LVEF), 25.9%的患者表现为中度功能障碍(LVEF 30% ~ 39%), 29.1%的患者表现为重度功能障碍(LVEF <30%)。NYHA分类的分布为II类包括451例患者(46.9%),III类包括317例患者(33.0%),IV类包括193例患者(20.1%)。使用KCCQ的高生活质量(HR-QoL)评估与LVEF (rs=-0.394, p<0.01)和NYHA分类(rs=-0.615, p<0.01)具有显著相关性。值得注意的是,KCCQ的平均得分在NYHA的不同类别中表现出相当大的差异,II类的平均得分为25.42±7.95,III类为20.90±7.67,IV类为16.41±8.94。生活质量(KCCQ评分)的重要预测因子包括年龄和NYHA。结论:研究结果表明,基于射血分数和NYHA分级,HR-QoL与HF严重程度有显著相关性。

Notably, the mean KCCQ score displayed considerable variation across NYHA classes, Class II had a mean score of 25.42±7.95, Class III had 20.90±7.67, and Class IV had 16.41±8.94. Significant predictors of quality of life (KCCQ score) included age and NYHA. Conclusion: It is concluded from the study results that HR-QoL is significantly correlated with the severity of HF based on ejection fraction and NYHA class.","PeriodicalId":42273,"journal":{"name":"Pakistan Heart Journal","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136342782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objectives: This updated meta-analysis aimed to consolidate clinical evidence comparing the clinical outcomes of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided LMCA stenting versus conventional angiography-guided LMCA stenting. Methodology: We included “randomized controlled trials” and “observational studies” published in peer-reviewed English language journals that compared the clinical outcomes of LMCA revascularization using “drug-eluting stents (DES)” via “IVUS-guided” versus “angiography-guided” stenting. The primary outcome of interest was “major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE)”, while secondary outcome variables included “all-cause mortality”, “myocardial infarction (MI)”, “target vessel/lesion revascularization (TVR/TLR)”, and “stent thrombosis (ST)”. Risk ratios (RRs) for each outcome variable were calculated using the “Mantel-Haenszel method”. Results: The analysis included nine studies involving a total of 5,344 patients, with 2,282 undergoing “IVUS-guided” LMCA stenting and 3,062 undergoing “angiography-guided” LMCA stenting. “IVUS-guided” LMCA stenting showed a significant reduction in the risk of MACE compared to “angiography-guided” LMCA stenting, with a RR of 0.46 [95% CI: 0.27 - 0.79]. However, a high level of heterogeneity (I2=94%; p<0.01) was observed among the included studies. Additionally, “IVUS-guided” LMCA stenting was associated with significant reductions in all-cause mortality, MI, and ST, with RRs of 0.38 [0.21 - 0.66], 0.45 [0.26 - 0.77], and 0.24 [0.10 - 0.57], respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in TVR/TLR between “IVUS-guided” and “angiography-guided” LMCA stenting, with an RR of 0.64 [0.27 - 1.51]. Conclusion: “IVUS-guided” LMCA revascularization using DES was associated with a lower risk of MACE, death, MI, and ST compared to conventional “angiography-guided” LMCA stenting.
目的:这项更新的荟萃分析旨在巩固比较血管内超声(IVUS)引导下LMCA支架置入与传统血管造影引导下LMCA支架置入临床结果的临床证据。方法:我们纳入了发表在同行评议的英文期刊上的“随机对照试验”和“观察性研究”,比较了“ivus引导”和“血管造影引导”下使用“药物洗脱支架(DES)”进行LMCA血运重建术的临床结果。主要结局是“主要不良心血管事件(MACE)”,次要结局变量包括“全因死亡率”、“心肌梗死(MI)”、“靶血管/病变血运重建术(TVR/TLR)”和“支架血栓形成(ST)”。采用“Mantel-Haenszel法”计算各结局变量的风险比(rr)。结果:该分析包括9项研究,共涉及5344例患者,其中2282例接受“ivus引导”的LMCA支架置入,3062例接受“血管造影引导”的LMCA支架置入。与血管造影引导下的LMCA支架置入相比,ivus引导下的LMCA支架置入MACE的风险显著降低,RR为0.46 [95% CI: 0.27 - 0.79]。然而,高度异质性(I2=94%;在纳入的研究中观察到P<0.01)。此外,ivus引导下的LMCA支架置入与全因死亡率、心肌梗死和ST的显著降低相关,其rr分别为0.38[0.21 - 0.66]、0.45[0.26 - 0.77]和0.24[0.10 - 0.57]。ivus引导下与血管造影引导下LMCA支架术TVR/TLR差异无统计学意义,RR为0.64[0.27 ~ 1.51]。结论:与传统的“血管造影引导”LMCA支架植入术相比,“ivus引导”下使用DES的LMCA血管重建术与MACE、死亡、心肌梗死和ST的风险较低相关。

The trans-radial approach (TRA) is shown to be superior in reducing bleeding complications and associated with lower mortality with a similar procedural success rate in ST-Elevated Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) patients compared to the trans-femoral approach. Nevertheless, complications such as forearm hematoma and, in rare cases, acute compartment syndrome (ACS) may develop, thus requiring a prompt surgical procedure. Here, we present two successful emergency fasciotomy cases as ACS treatment following primary percutaneous coronary intervention after STEMI. Both patients show normal neurological and muscular function and normal artery flow on both hands afterward.
经桡骨入路(TRA)在st段升高的心肌梗死(STEMI)患者中,与经股入路相比,在减少出血并发症和降低死亡率方面具有优势,手术成功率相似。然而,并发症如前臂血肿,在极少数情况下,急性筋膜室综合征(ACS)可能会出现,因此需要及时手术治疗。在此,我们报告了两个成功的紧急筋膜切开术作为STEMI术后经皮冠状动脉介入治疗后的ACS治疗。术后两例患者神经和肌肉功能正常,双手动脉血流正常。
