Method: Overall, 149 subjects with ACS (namely, acute myocardial infarct with or without ST-segment elevation or unstable angina), with no previous history of CHD, admitted to three cardiac intensive care units were included and evaluated by the Structured Clinical Interview for Complicated Grief (SCI-CG), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale, and the 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (MOS-SF-36). Results: Of the total sample of 149 subjects with ACS, 118 (79.2%) met criteria for DSM-5 persistent complex bereavement disorder. Among these, subjects who lost a partner, child, or sibling were older (P=0.008), less likely to be working (P=0.032), and more likely to be suffering from hypertension (P=0.021), returned higher scores on the SCI-CG (P=0.001) and developed the index ACS more frequently between 12 and 48 months after the death than those who lost a parent or another relative (P≤0.0001). The occurrence of ACS 12–48 months (P=0.019) after

36. Relation between exertional ischemia and prognosis in mildly symptomatic patients with single or double vessel coronary artery disease and left ventricular dysfunction at rest

Author

Mazzotta, Gianfranco, Bonow, Robert O., Pace, Leonardo, Brittain, Erica, and Epstein, Stephen E.

Abstract

The randomized multicenter trials indicate that survival in patients with coronary artery disease and left ventricular dysfunction is enhanced by surgical therapy compared with medical therapy. This beneficial effect of coronary bypass surgery was demonstrated in patients with either three vessel or left main coronary artery disease, but not in those with one or two vessel disease. To determine whether subgroups of mildly symptomatic patients with one or two vessel coronary artery disease and left ventricular dysfunction have an increased risk of death or cardiac events during medical therapy, 53 consecutive patients with angiographically defined one or two vessel disease and impaired left ventricular function (ejection fraction 20% to 40%) were studied by exercise electrocardiography (ECG) and rest and exercise radionuclide angiography. All but two patients had previous myocardial infarction, and all were asymptomatic or only mildly symptomatic during medical therapy.

Abstract

Non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS) represent one of the most common clinical presentations of ischemic heart disease. Patients with NSTE-ACS are a heterogeneous population, with different clinical features and prognosis. A significant proportion of this population is medically managed, without any revascularization. In the Italian EYESHOT and French FAST-MI registries, patients managed with a conservative strategy were 40% and 35%, respectively. NSTE-ACS patients not undergoing coronary revascularization are at higher risk of adverse cardiovascular events and have a worse prognosis, including short- and long-term mortality, compared with those receiving revascularization. Patients with NSTE-ACS medically managed consist of three different subgroups: those not undergoing coronary angiography, those receiving coronary angiography and without significant coronary artery disease, and those with significant coronary artery disease at angiography but not receiving revascularization. Patients presenting with NSTE-ACS for whom a conservative strategy without coronary angiography is planned should be selected very carefully and coronary angiography should not be denied because of the lack of on-site cath-lab facilities. In addition, advanced age alone, in the absence of severe comorbidities or frailty, should not be considered as a reason for denying coronary angiography and, in general, optimal treatment. Given that evidence-based data are lacking, a careful balance between benefits and risks is needed in the decision to perform or not coronary angiography and/or revascularization in patients with important comorbidities, or frailty, or advanced age. In this decisional process, it should be also taken into consideration the role of coronary anatomy in risk stratification and treatment guidance.NSTE-ACS patients managed without revascularization less frequently receive guideline-recommended pharmacological treatment. Dual antiplatelet therapy is recommended for 12 months also in medically managed patients, after careful balance of ischemic and bleeding risk. Indeed, in this group of patients it is mandatory to optimize pharmacological treatment, including antiplatelet therapy, in order to improve clinical outcome. In NSTE-ACS not undergoing revascularization, the proportion of patients discharged with dual antiplatelet therapy should be increased in comparison to current clinical practice, and the use of ticagrelor instead of clopidogrel should be considered in selected patients.

Abstract

In recent years, a progressive increase in the number of medical diagnostic and interventional procedures has been observed, namely in cardiology. A significant proportion of them appear inappropriate, i.e. potentially redundant, harmful, costly, and useless. Recently, the document Medical Professionalism in the New Millennium: A Physician Charter, the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) Foundation Putting the Charter into Practice program, JAMA's Less Is More and BMJ's Too Much Medicine series, and the American College of Physicians' High-Value, Cost-Conscious Care initiatives, have all begun to provide direction for physicians to address pervasive overuse in health care. In 2010, the Brody's proposal to scientific societies to indicate the five medical procedures at high inappropriateness risk inspired the widely publicized ABIM Foundation's Choosing Wisely campaign. As part of Choosing Wisely, each participating specialty society has created lists of Things Physicians and Patients Should Question that provide specific, evidence-based recommendations physicians and patients should discuss to help make wise decisions about the most appropriate individual care. In Italy, Slow Medicine launched the analogue campaign Fare di più non significa fare meglio. The Italian Association of Hospital Cardiologists (ANMCO) endorsed the initiative by recognizing the need to optimize available resources, reduce costs and avoid unnecessary cardiovascular assessments, thereby enhancing the more efficient care delivery models. An ad hoc ANMCO Working Group prepared a list of five cardiac procedures that seem inappropriate for routine use in our country and, after an internal revision procedure, these are presented here.

49. Exercise testing after myocardial infarction: with or without therapy? How does thrombolysis affects its predictivity?

Abstract

In the text we focused our attention on beta-blocker therapy, considering the great importance of these drugs in the treatment of myocardial infarction, also in the early phase of the postinfarction clinical course. Moreover, as for other anti-ischemic therapies--i.e. nitrodrivatives and calcium-antagonists--the management of this therapy is more difficult, because it takes time to up titrate and to wash out. In our opinion, it's unadvisable to interrupt this treatment in the early phase of the postinfarction course, and it's necessary to perform predischarge exercise testing on beta-blocker therapy; and we explain all the reasons in the text. Even if these drugs may reduce the diagnostic sensitivity for inducible ischemia of the predischarge exercise testing, their effect does not seem to modify negatively the prognostic accuracy of the provocative test, also in the "trombolytic era". In fact, beta-blockers hide but, also, cure inducible ischemia characterized by a low clinical risk; the forms of inducible ischemia that occur also with this therapy are probably dangerous and need myocardial revascularization. It's important to emphasize that predischarge exercise testing is more frequently positive in the patients treated with thrombolytic therapy, a subgroup at lower clinical risk. This finding is probably due to the presence of residual stenosis in the infarct-related vessel. The higher incidence of reinfarction and ischemic events related to plaque instability is the main cause of the lower negative predictive value of the test in these patients; in fact, none of the provocative tests can predict accurately these events.
