RESUMEN

The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) is a straightforward nutritional risk assessment tool with an established relationship with poor prognosis in patients with heart failure. However, the utility of the GNRI in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains unclear given the time-dependent changes in the pathophysiology of AMI and the selected endpoints. Accordingly, we aimed to evaluate the optimal cut-off values of the GNRI for cardiovascular events in patients with AMI. We used time-dependent receiver operating characteristic analysis to identify the optimal cut-off values for two endpoints, all-cause death and major adverse cardiac events (MACE: all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, hospitalization for heart failure, and stroke), over 4 years in 360 patients with AMI between 2012 and 2020. The cumulative incidence of MACE was 11.6%. The cut-off value of the GNRI for all-cause death was 82.7 (area under the curve [AUC], 0.834) at 3 months and 90.3 (AUC 0.854) at 4 years. The cut-off value of the GNRI for MACE was 83.0 (AUC 0.841) at 3 months and 95.3 (AUC 0.821) at 4 years. The GNRI demonstrated consistently high reliability relative to other indicators of AMI. Our findings indicated that the optimal cut-off value and reliability of the GNRI for cardiovascular events varied according to the endpoints and observation periods. GNRI emerges as a crucial predictor of prognosis for patients with AMI.

RESUMEN

Increased platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in acute myocardial infarction (AMI), which indicate accelerated thrombus formation and inflammatory response, potentially have prognostic implications. Given that cardiovascular disease and renal function exacerbate each other, an elevated PLR and NLR at admission for AMI may worsen renal function after AMI. However, only a few clinical studies have addressed this issue. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effects of PLR and NLR at AMI onset on renal function. This retrospective study analyzed data from 234 patients hospitalized for AMI. First, correlations between various parameters (age; sex; body mass index; hemoglobin level, albumin level, B-type natriuretic peptide level, C-reactive protein level, creatinine (Cr) level, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) level, PLR, and NLR at admission; contrast medium usage; and maximum creatine kinase) and Cr and BUN levels at discharge were examined using single and multiple regression analyses. Then, correlations between these parameters and the change in Cr (ΔCr) and BUN levels (ΔBUN) were investigated using single and multiple regression analysis, followed by structural equation modeling (SEM). Multiple regression analysis revealed significant positive correlations between PLR at admission and Cr level at discharge (ß = 0.135, P = .021), PLR at admission and BUN level at discharge (ß = 0.218, P = .006), PLR at admission and ΔCr (ß = 0.244, P = .019), and PLR at admission and ΔBUN (ß = 0.312, P = .003). SEM results revealed significant positive correlations between PLR at admission and ΔCr (ß = 0.260, P = .008) and PLR at admission and ΔBUN (ß = 0.292, P = .003). Conversely, NLR demonstrated a minimal association with renal function at discharge compared to PLR. This study suggests that increased PLR at admission in AMI significantly affects and exacerbates renal function but does not increase NLR at admission. PLR is one of the predictors of renal dysfunction after AMI.

RESUMEN

Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) can occasionally occur in the follow-up after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for atrial fibrillation (AF). During PVI, ablation is performed at the PV ostium or distal part, leading to tissue damage. This damage can result in fibrosis of the necrotic myocardium, proliferation, and thickening of the vascular intima, as well as thrombus formation, further advancing PVS. Mild-to-moderate PVS often remains asymptomatic, but severe PVS can cause symptoms, such as dyspnea, cough, fatigue, decreased exercise tolerance, chest pain, and hemoptysis. These symptoms are due to pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary infarction. Imaging evaluations such as contrast-enhanced computed tomography are essential for diagnosing PVS. Early suspicion and detection are necessary, as underdiagnosis can lead to inappropriate treatment, disease progression, and poor outcomes. The long-term prognosis of PVS remains unclear, particularly regarding the impact of mild-to-moderate PVS over time. PVS treatment focuses on symptom management, with no established definitive solutions. For severe PVS, transcatheter PV angioplasty is performed, though the risk of restenosis remains high. Restenosis and reintervention rates have improved with stent implantation compared with balloon angioplasty. The role of subsequent antiplatelet therapy remains uncertain. Dedicated evaluation is essential for accurate diagnosis and appropriate management to avoid significant long-term impacts on patient outcomes.

RESUMEN

Background: Currently, two types of cryoballoon (CB) systems are available for catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF). Since the POLARx (Boston Scientific) is softer during freezing than the Arctic Front Advance Pro (AFA-Pro; Medtronic), it tends to go more deeply into the pulmonary vein (PV), risking PV stenosis. Methods: Ninety-one patients underwent initial CB ablation for paroxysmal AF (AFA-Pro 56; POLARx 35). Twenty-six from each group were extracted using propensity score matching. The PV cross-sectional area (PVA) was measured by tracing the area within the PV plane at 5-mm intervals from the PV ostium in a distal direction for 20 mm or to the bifurcation in each PV. The PVA was compared before and 3 months after ablation. Results: Time to balloon temperatures of -30 and - 40°C was significantly shorter and the nadir temperature was significantly lower with POLARx than with AFA-Pro. In the left inferior (LI) PV and right superior (RS) PV, the freezing balloon position was significantly deeper in POLARx than in AFA-pro. The freezing position in RSPV with mild to moderate narrowing was deeper than those without (10.2 ± 3.3 mm vs. 8.2 ± 1.8 mm, p = .01). In RSPV, the reduction of PVA tended to be greater with the POLARx than with the AFA-Pro (26.1% ± 14.1% vs. 19.9% ± 10.3%, p = .07). Conclusion: There was no significant difference in the incidence of PV stenosis between POLARx and AFA-Pro. However, if POLARx goes deep into the PVs, we will still have to be careful.

RESUMEN

Recently, a mild elevation of the blood ketone levels was found to exert multifaceted cardioprotective effects. To investigate the effect of angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitors (ARNIs) on the blood ketone body levels, 46 stable pre-heart failure (HF)/HF patients were studied, including 23 who switched from angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) to ARNIs (ARNI group) and 23 who continued treatment with ACE inhibitors or ARBs (control group). At baseline, there were no significant differences in the total ketone body (TKB) levels between the two groups. Three months later, the TKB levels in the ARNI group were higher than the baseline values (baseline to 3 months: 71 [51, 122] to 92 [61, 270] µmol/L, P < 0.01). In the control group, no significant change was observed between the baseline and 3 months later. A multiple regression analysis demonstrated that the initiation of ARNI and an increase in the blood non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) levels at 3 months increased the percentage changes in the TKB levels from baseline to 3 months (%ΔTKB level) (initiation of ARNI: P = 0.017, NEFA level at 3 months: P < 0.001). These results indicate that ARNI administration induces a mild elevation of the blood TKB levels in pre-HF/HF patients.

RESUMEN

Background: Hyperuricemia (HU) has been reported to be associated with a high incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the relationship between HUA and recurrent AF after catheter ablation (CA) is unclear. Methods: Four hundred consecutive AF patients (paroxysmal/persistent AF [PAF/PsAF]: 200/200) who underwent the initial CA were retrospectively enrolled. HU was defined as serum uric acid (SUA) level >7.0 mg/dL. We measured SUA levels 1 day before (pre-CA) and 1 month after CA (post-CA). A second-generation 28 mm cryoballoon was used for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for PAF, while PVI plus linear ablation (roof and mitral isthmus lines) by radiofrequency catheter was conducted for PsAF. Results: During 57 ± 24 months of follow-up, AF recurred in 16% and 42% in PAF and PsAF patients (p < .0001). Pre-CA SUA level in PsAF was significantly higher than that in PAF (6.5 ± 1.3 vs. 5.8 ± 1.3 mg/dL, p < .001). SUA level was significantly decreased after CA in both PAF and PsAF (5.8 ± 1.3 vs. 5.6 ± 1.3 mg/dL; p < .01 and 6.5 ± 1.3 vs. 6.1 ± 1.2 mg/dL; p < .0001, respectively). The association between pre-/post-CA HU and recurrent AF was not identified in PAF, while the incidence of post-CA HU was significantly higher in patients with recurrent AF than those without in PsAF (36% vs. 15%, p < .001). In multivariable analysis, longer AF duration and the presence of post-CA HU were identified as independent predictors of AF recurrence in PsAF (OR:1.01, 95%CI:1.003-1.011, p = .0001 and OR:2.77, 95%CI:1.333-5.755, p = .007, respectively). Conclusions: SUA level was significantly higher in PsAF than PAF patients. The presence of post-CA HU was strongly related to AF recurrence in PsAF patients.

RESUMEN

The early prediction of neurological outcomes is useful for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). The initial pH was associated with neurological outcomes, but the values varied among the studies. Patients admitted to our division with OHCA of cardiac origin between January 2015 and December 2022 were retrospectively examined (N = 199). A good neurological outcome was defined as a Glasgow-Pittsburgh cerebral performance category (CPC) of 1-2 at discharge. Patients were divided according to the achievement of recovery of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) on hospital arrival, and the efficacy of pH in predicting good neurological outcomes was compared. In patients with ROSC on hospital arrival (N = 100), the initial pH values for good and poor neurological outcomes were 7.26 ± 0.14 and 7.09 ± 0.18, respectively (p < 0.001). In patients without ROSC on hospital arrival (N = 99), the initial pH values for good and poor neurological outcomes were 7.06 ± 0.23 and 6.92 ± 0.15, respectively (p = 0.007). The pH associated with good neurological outcome was much lower in patients without ROSC than in those with ROSC on hospital arrival (P = 0.003). A higher initial pH is associated with good neurological outcomes in patients with OHCA. However, the pH for a good or poor neurological outcome depends on the ROSC status on hospital arrival.

RESUMEN

Natural hemodynamic changes after balloon pulmonary artery angioplasty (BPA) in a unified state without oxygen administration in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) remains undetermined. This study aimed to clarify the delayed changes in the hemodynamics after BPA in patients with CTEPH. We analyzed 73 consecutive patients with CTEPH who underwent BPA between July 2014 and December 2022. We extracted and evaluated hemodynamic data of the right heart catheter without oxygen administration immediately before and after the first BPA; and immediately before the second BPA, as the "post-delayed changes" after BPA. BPA significantly improved the mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP, mmHg) and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR, dyn-s/cm5) from 36 (32-43) mmHg and 449 (312-627) dyn-s/cm5 before the first BPA to 28 (23-32) mmHg and 275 (217-366) dyn-s/cm5 immediately after BPA, and further significantly improved the values to 23 (20-28) mmHg and 225 (175-301) dyn-s/cm5 post-delayed changes after BPA, respectively. Improvement observed on account of delayed changes was observed both with and without pulmonary hypertension drugs. The delayed changes were observed during a period of 5-180 days, which did not correlate with the changes in mPAP and PVR. Hemodynamic improvement owing to BPA was observed immediately after BPA; however, further improvement was observed as a result of delayed changes. mPAP improved by 3.4 ± 5.2 mmHg and PVR by 53 (10-99) dyn-s/cm5 as delayed improvement. mPAP and PVR showed delayed improved by approximately 10% of their values before BPA.

RESUMEN

Although balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) improves pulmonary hypertension and the prognosis of patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), subsequent changes in body mass index (BMI), nutritional status, and appetite have not been fully investigated. This retrospective study aimed to clarify changes in BMI, nutritional status, and appetite after BPA. Fifty-two consecutive patients with CTEPH who underwent complete revascularization with BPA between July 2014 and July 2023 and were available for follow-up were evaluated. We compared the presence or absence of increased appetite, BMI change, and nutritional status before and after BPA treatment. BPA significantly improved the mean pulmonary artery pressure from 37.4 ± 8.7 mmHg to 18.7 ± 2.8 mmHg and the partial pressure of oxygen from 61.6 ± 9.3 mmHg to 82.8 ± 9.9 mmHg (both p < 0.001). Appetite was increased in 82.7% of the patients. BMI significantly increased from 23.9 ± 3.7 kg/m2 to 24.9 ± 3.7 kg/m2 (p < 0.001). As a nutritional indicator, the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index increased from 105.3 ± 10.2 to 108.3 ± 8.3 (p < 0.001). The median Controlling Nutritional Status scores showed no significant change but the range was significantly improved from 0-9 to 0-3 (p = 0.006). In conclusion, patients with CTEPH show improved oxygenation and hemodynamics, increased BMI, and improved nutritional status following BPA. This sequence of changes may help improve patient prognosis.

RESUMEN

We report a case of atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after pulmonary vein isolation, which patient had AF trigger in the superior vena cava (SVC) near the sinus node (SN). The ultra-high-resolution mapping revealed that SN located within the SVC and the atrial activation from the SN to SVC propagated in both septal and lateral direction, then upward with circumventing the spontaneous conduction block identified just above and lateral SN (upper hemisphere). We successfully isolated SVC including the ectopic origin at the same level as the SN by utilizing the spontaneous conduction block line around the SN without any complication.

RESUMEN

We recently reported that the selective inhibition of urate transporter-1 (URAT1), which is primarily expressed in the kidneys, ameliorates insulin resistance by attenuating hepatic steatosis and improving brown adipose tissue function in diet-induced obesity. In this study, we evaluated the effects of dotinurad, a URAT1-selective inhibitor, on the hearts of high-fat diet (HFD)-fed obese mice for 16-20 weeks and on neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs) exposed to palmitic acid. Outside the kidneys, URAT1 was also expressed in cardiomyocytes and indeed worked as a uric acid transporter. Dotinurad substantially attenuated HFD-induced cardiac fibrosis, inflammatory responses, and cardiac dysfunction. Intriguingly, among various factors related to the pathophysiology of diet-induced obesity, palmitic acid significantly increased URAT1 expression in NRCMs and subsequently induced apoptosis, oxidative stress, and inflammatory responses via MAPK pathway, all of which were reduced by dotinurad. These results indicate that URAT1 is a potential therapeutic target for metabolic heart disease.

RESUMEN

In addition to the classical actions of hemodynamic regulation, natriuretic peptides (NPs) interact with various neurohumoral factors that are deeply involved in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular diseases. However, their effects on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which is activated under acute high-stress conditions in acute coronary syndrome (ACS), remain largely unknown. We investigated the impact of plasma B-type NP (BNP) on plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-cortisol levels during the acute phase of ACS ischemic attacks. The study population included 436 consecutive patients with ACS for whom data were collected during emergency cardiac catheterization. Among them, biochemical data after acute-phase treatment were available in 320 cases, defined as the ACS-remission phase (ACS-rem). Multiple regression analyses revealed that plasma BNP levels were significantly negatively associated with plasma ACTH levels only during ACS attacks (P < 0.001), but not in ACS-rem, whereas plasma BNP levels were not significantly associated with plasma cortisol levels at any point. Accordingly, covariance structure analyses were performed to clarify the direct contribution of BNP to ACTH by excluding other confounding factors, confirming that BNP level was negatively correlated with ACTH level only during ACS attacks (ß = -0.152, P = 0.002), whereas BNP did not significantly affect ACTH in ACS-rem. In conclusion, despite the lack of a significant direct association with cortisol levels, BNP negatively regulated ACTH levels during the acute phase of an ACS attack in which the HPA axis ought to be activated. NP may alleviate the acute stress response induced by severe ischemic attacks in patients with ACS.NEW & NOTEWORTHY BNP negatively regulates ACTH during a severe ischemic attack of ACS in which hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis ought to be activated, indicating an important role of natriuretic peptides as a mechanism of adaptation to acute critical stress conditions in humans.

RESUMEN

Several studies have investigated the association between P2Y12 reaction unit (PRU) value and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in patients with ischemic heart disease, but there is no well-established consensus on the utility of PRU value. Furthermore, the optimal PRU cut-off value varied with studies. One reason may be that the endpoints and observation periods differed, depending on the study. This study aimed to investigate the optimal cut-off and predictive ability of the PRU value for predicting cardiovascular events, while considering different endpoints and observation periods. We surveyed a total of 338 patients receiving P2Y12 inhibitors and measured PRU during cardiac catheterization. Using time-dependent receiver operating characteristic analysis, we evaluated the cut-off and area under curve (AUC) of the PRU value for two MACEs (MACE ①: composite of death, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, and cerebral infarction; MACE ②: composite of MACE ① and target vessel revascularization) at 6, 12, 24 and 36 months after cardiac catheterization. MACE ① occurred in 18 cases and MACE ② in 32 cases. The PRU cut-off values at 6, 12, 24, and 36 months were 257, 238, 217, and 216, respectively, for MACE ① and 250, 238, 209, and 204, respectively, for MACE ②. The AUCs at 6, 12, 24, and 36 months were 0.753, 0.832, 0.718, and 0.717, respectively, for MACE ① and 0.724, 0.722, 0.664, and 0.682, respectively, for MACE ②. The optimal cut-off and predictive ability of PRU values for cardiovascular events varied depending on different endpoints and duration of the observation periods. A relatively high PRU value is effective for short-term event suppression, but a low value is required for long-term event suppression.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) after PV isolation (PVI) for atrial fibrillation (AF) is a severe complication that requires angioplasty. This study aimed to compare the reduction of the cross-sectional PV area (PVA) and the incidence of PVS after cryoballoon (CB)-PVI, hot balloon (HB)-PVI, or laser balloon (LB)-PVI.Methods and Results: A total of 320 patients who underwent an initial catheter ablation procedure for AF using a CB, HB, or LB in 2 hospitals were included. They underwent contrast-enhanced multidetector CT before and 3 months after the procedure. In all 4 PVs, the reduction in PVA was more significant in the LB group than in the CB or HB groups, respectively. Moderate (50-75%) and severe (>75%) PVS were observed in 5.3% and 0.5% of the PVs, respectively. Although moderate PVS was more frequently observed in the LB group than in the CB or HB groups (8.2%, 3.8%, and 5.0%; P=0.03), the incidence of severe PVS was similar in the LB, CB, and HB groups (0.3%, 0.5%, and 1.0%; P=0.46). Symptomatic PVS requiring intervention occurred in 1 (0.3%) patient. CONCLUSIONS: Although the reduction in cross-sectional PVA and the incidence of moderate PVS after LB-PVI was more significant than after CB-PVI or HB-PVI, it rarely led to severe PVS. Symptomatic PVS requiring intervention was rare after the balloon ablation of AF.

RESUMEN

Natriuretic peptides, brain (B-type) natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) are globally and most often used for the diagnosis of heart failure (HF). In addition, they can have an important complementary role in the risk stratification of its prognosis. Since the development of angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitors (ARNIs), the use of natriuretic peptides as therapeutic agents has grown in importance. The present document is the result of the Trilateral Cooperation Project among the Heart Failure Association of the European Society of Cardiology, the Heart Failure Society of America and the Japanese Heart Failure Society. It represents an expert consensus that aims to provide a comprehensive, up-to-date perspective on natriuretic peptides in the diagnosis and management of HF, with a focus on the following main issues: (1) history and basic research: discovery, production and cardiovascular protection; (2) diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers: acute HF, chronic HF, inclusion/endpoint in clinical trials, and natriuretic peptides-guided therapy; (3) therapeutic use: nesiritide (BNP), carperitide (ANP) and ARNIs; and (4) gaps in knowledge and future directions.
