Abstract: Ischemic stroke, a leading global cause of death and disability, is commonly caused by carotid arteries atherosclerosis. Carotid artery calcification (CAC) is a well-known marker of atherosclerosis. Such calcifications are classically detected by ultrasound screening. In recent years it was shown that these calcifications can also be inferred from routine panoramic dental radiographs. In this work, we focused on panoramic dental radiographs taken from 500 patients, manually labelling each of the patients' sides (each radiograph was treated as two sides), which were used to develop an artificial intelligence (AI)-based algorithm to automatically detect carotid calcifications. The algorithm uses deep learning convolutional neural networks (CNN), with transfer learning (TL) approach that achieved true labels for each corner, and reached a sensitivity (recall) of 0.82 and a specificity of 0.97 for individual arteries, and a recall of 0.87 and specificity of 0.97 for individual patients. Applying and integrating the algorithm in healthcare units and dental clinics has the potential of reducing stroke events and their mortality and morbidity consequences.

Abstract: Ischemic stroke, a leading global cause of death and disability, is caused by carotid arteries atherosclerosis. Such calcifications are classically detected by ultrasound screening. In recent years it was shown that these calcifications can also be inferred from routine panoramic dental radiographs. In this work, we focused on the panoramic dental radiographs taken from 500 patients, manually labelling each of the patients’ sides (each radiograph was treated as two sides), and which were used to develop an artificial intelligence (AI)-based algorithm to automatically detect carotid calcifications. The algorithm uses deep learning convolutional neural networks (CNN), with transfer learning (TL) approaches followed by eXtreme Gradient Boosting algorithm (XGBoost) that achieved true labels for each corner, and reaches a sensitivity (recall) of 0.82 and a specificity of 0.93 for individual artery, and a recall of 0.88 and specificity of 0.86 for individual patients. Applying and integrating the algorithm we developed in healthcare units and dental clinics has the potential of reducing stroke events and their mortality and morbidity consequences.Author summaryStroke is a leading global cause of death and disability. One major cause of stroke is carotid artery calcification (CAC). Traditional approaches for CAC detection are doppler ultrasound screening and angiography computerized tomography (CT), medical procedures that require financial expenses, are time consuming and discomforting to the patient. Of note, angiography CT involves the injection of contrast material and exposure to x-ray ionizing irradiation. In recent years researchers have shown that CAC can also be detected when analyzing routine panoramic dental radiographs, a non-invasive, cheap and easily accessible procedure. This study takes us one step further, in developing artificial intelligence (AI)-based algorithms trained to detect such calcifications in panoramic dental radiographs. The models developed are based on deep learning convolutional neural networks, transfer learning, and XGBoost algorithm, that enable an accurate automated detection of carotid calcifications, with a recall of 0.82 and a specificity of 0.93. Statistical approaches for assessing predictions per individual (i.e.: predicting the risk of calcification in at least one artery), were developed showing a recall of 0.88 and specificity of 0.86. Applying and integrating this approach in healthcare units may significantly contribute to identifying at-risk patients.

4. Attachment insecurity hinders cardiac patients’ ability to receive partners’ care: A longitudinal dyadic study

Abstract: Objectives: The fact that spousal support is not always beneficial for the recipient continues to intrigue researchers in the dyadic support field. One possible explanation for this phenomenon may be individual differences in attachment orientations, which might promote or, conversely, hinder the ability to capitalize on one’s partner’s support. We therefore assessed the interactive contribution of cardiac patients’ attachment orientations (anxious and avoidant) and partners’ caregiving styles (sensitive and compulsive) to patients’ anxiety symptoms 6 months after a first acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Design and methods: A longitudinal design was employed among 114 couples coping with one partner’s ACS. During hospitalization, patients completed the Experiences in Close Relationships scale, tapping attachment orientation, and 6 months later, the anxiety scale of the Brief Symptom Inventory. Partners completed the Adult Caregiving Questionnaire during patients’ hospitalization. Results: Regression analyses showed that partners’ caregiving styles moderated the positive association between patients’ anxious attachment and anxiety symptoms. This association was stronger when partners were characterized with high levels of compulsive caregiving, but also, and surprisingly, when partners were characterized with high levels of sensitive caregiving. No significant effects were found for highly avoidant patients. Conclusions: The findings suggest that patients’ personalities play a crucial role in determining the consequences of partners’ caregiving styles. Integrating the personality perspective into the dyadic paradigm may allow a more comprehensive understanding of the circumstances under which partners’ care reduces patients’ distress.

Abstract: Digital, Background Guidelines recommend nonstatin lipid-lowering agents in patients at very high risk for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) if low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) remains ≥70 mg/dL on maximum tolerated statin treatment. It is uncertain if this approach benefits patients with LDL-C near 70 mg/dL. Lipoprotein(a) levels may influence residual risk. Objectives In a post hoc analysis of the ODYSSEY Outcomes (Evaluation of Cardiovascular Outcomes After an Acute Coronary Syndrome During Treatment With Alirocumab) trial, the authors evaluated the benefit of adding the proprotein subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitor alirocumab to optimized statin treatment in patients with LDL-C levels near 70 mg/dL. Effects were evaluated according to concurrent lipoprotein(a) levels. Methods ODYSSEY Outcomes compared alirocumab with placebo in 18,924 patients with recent acute coronary syndromes receiving optimized statin treatment. In 4,351 patients (23.0%), screening or randomization LDL-C was 13.7 mg/dL or ≤13.7 mg/dL; corresponding adjusted treatment hazard ratios were 0.82 (95% CI: 0.72-0.92) and 0.89 (95% CI: 0.75-1.06), with Pinteraction = 0.43. Conclusions In patients with recent acute coronary syndromes and LDL-C near 70 mg/dL on optimized statin therapy, proprotein subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibition provides incremental clinical benefit only when lipoprotein(a) concentration is at least mildly elevated.

Abstract: Background Patients with heart failure (HF) cope with a chronic, life-threatening, particularly disabling medical condition. Their well-being is considered to be at a greater risk than that of patients with any other cardiovascular disease, and their psychological distress is associated with a worse prognosis. These patients are often preoccupied with existential concerns such as fear of death, loneliness, and a loss of sense of meaning. However, there is a dearth of literature regarding psychological interventions that address these issues among this population. Aims We, the authors of the current pilot study, present the development and initial implementation of a novel protocol: "existentially oriented group intervention for patients with heart failure." Our aims were to test the intervention's feasibility, as well as to explore patients' subjective experience of it. Methods The intervention (consisting of seven 1-hour weekly sessions) was applied to 2 consecutive groups. Twelve patients coping with HF levels III and IV-according to the New York Heart Association classification-from a hospital-based HF clinic participated. The Narrative Evaluation of Intervention Interview was applied. Results Although high dropout levels were detected, the patients who fully participated in the program reported on satisfaction and progress in the following 4 domains: personal growth, social support, self-worth, and mastery. Conclusions On the basis of our preliminary findings, the "existentially oriented group intervention for patients with heart failure" is recommended to be further tested among patients coping with HF.

Abstract: INTRODUCTION Early detection is critical in the prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD). An at-risk population for cardiac disease-and conveniently approachable in terms of timing-is cardiac patients' offspring, at the moment when the parent is hospitalized for his or her own cardiac event. Based on the theoretical underpinning of life turning points, defined as perceived life course-changing events, we suggest that adult children would view the parent's cardiac event as a significant life turning point and that this understanding would motivate them to learn about CVD and to change their lifestyles accordingly. The current study's main goal was therefore to assess the baseline level and change over time in the adult offspring's knowledge of cardiac risk factors and cardiac health-promoting behaviors. METHOD In a prospective design, 69 Israeli adult offspring of individuals newly diagnosed with an acute coronary event were approached and interviewed at 3 time points (on average 17 days, 55 days, and 125 days after the parent's hospitalization). RESULTS Contrary to our assumption, no significant change over time was detected among the adult children with regard to body mass index, physical activity, eating behaviors, or smoking. In fact, over time, they seemed to know less about CVD risk factors than they did originally. CONCLUSION Adult children of cardiac patients seem to be reluctant to spontaneously engage in health-promoting behaviors. The option of approaching them, in a primary preventive act, as early as during a parent's hospitalization should be further investigated.

Abstract: Background/Aims: Contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) is associated with adverse clinical outcomes in patients undergoing coronary interventions, particularly in patients with advanced chronic kidney. The study was aimed to assess the real-life feasibility and safety of ultra-low volume coronary procedures in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease. Methods: A prospective study that included patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 2) was conducted. Coronary procedures were performed using an ultra-low contrast volume technique. Results: The 30 patients had a mean eGFR of 31.8(±8) mL/min/1.73 m2. Indications for coronary angiography were non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (63.3%), unstable (20%), and stable angina pectoris (16.7%). Median contrast volume for diagnostic coronary angiography was 13 mL (interquartile ranges [IQR] 12–14.9), and an additional 13 mL (IQR 8.8–14.3) for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). In 3 patients (10%), a ≥25% increase was demonstrated in serum cystatin C levels 48 h following the procedure. None of the patients demonstrated a ≥25% increase in serum creatinine levels at 48 h. Following 6 months, no patient required renal replacement therapy or unplanned coronary intervention. Conclusions: In patients with advanced chronic kidney disease, the ultra-low contrast technique is feasible and effective and can be used safely without a significant deterioration in renal function. This technique may increase the utilization of PCI in high-risk coronary patients with chronic kidney disease.

Abstract: Drug-eluting stents with biodegradable polymer might be particularly useful in diabetic patients who are at increased risk for target lesion/target vessel revascularization. We therefore aimed at assessing the safety and performance of a biodegradable polymer sirolimus-eluting stent (BP-SES) in combination with comprehensive optimal medical therapy following coronary interventions.This prospective, multicenter registry was conducted at six centers in Israel. Aside of stent treatment, we aimed for an LDL-C level70mg/dl; at one and six months post-intervention a diabetic consultancy was required, and follow-up data were collected at six and twelve months. The primary outcome measure was target vessel failure, a composite of cardiac death, target-vessel myocardial infarction and clinically driven target vessel revascularization. Secondary outcomes were target lesion failure, its individual components, and stent thrombosis.From August 2013 until May 2014, 120 diabetic patients with 158 lesions were treated with a BP-SES. Mean age was 63.9±9.2years, 27.5% were insulin dependent, 28.3% had a history of myocardial infarction, and 47.5% had prior coronary interventions. By visual estimation, lesions were 3.0±0.5mm in diameter and 15.2±7.4mm long; mean stent diameter and length were 3.0±0.5mm and 19.2±6.8mm. Target vessel failure and target lesion failure at 12months occurred in seven (6.4% [95% CI: 3.1-13.0]) and four patients (3.5% [95% CI: 1.3-9.2]), respectively, and definite stent thrombosis in one patient (1.0% [95% CI: 0.1-7.0]).Treatment with a BP-SES demonstrated excellent target-vessel and target-lesion revascularization rates in a high-risk diabetic patient population undergoing catheter-based revascularization followed by intensified medical care.In 120 high-risk diabetic patients with coronary artery stenosis, treatment with the Orsiro sirolimus-eluting stent with biodegradable polymer and comprehensive antidiabetic therapy resulted in excellent clinical outcomes. Target vessel revascularization occurred in 6.4% of patients and target lesion revascularization in 3.5%.

A reduction in mean LDL cholesterol to 1.4-1.8 mmol/L with ezetimibe or statins reduces cardiovascular events in patients with an acute coronary syndrome and diabetes. However, the efficacy and safety of further reduction in LDL cholesterol with an inhibitor of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) after acute coronary syndrome is unknown. We aimed to explore this issue in a prespecified analysis of the ODYSSEY OUTCOMES trial of the PCSK9 inhibitor alirocumab, assessing its effects on cardiovascular outcomes by baseline glycaemic status, while also assessing its effects on glycaemic measures including risk of new-onset diabetes. Methods ODYSSEY OUTCOMES was a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, done at 1315 sites in 57 countries, that compared alirocumab with placebo in patients who had been admitted to hospital with an acute coronary syndrome (myocardial infarction or unstable angina) 1-12 months before randomisation and who had raised concentrations of atherogenic lipoproteins despite use of high-intensity statins. Patients were randomly assigned (1: 1) to receive alirocumab or placebo every 2 weeks; randomisation was stratified by country and was done centrally with an interactive voice-response or web-response system. Alirocumab was titrated to target LDL cholesterol concentrations of 0.65-1.30 mmol/L. in this prespecified analysis, we investigated the effect of alirocumab on cardiovascular events by glycaemic status at baseline (diabetes, prediabetes, or normoglycaemia)-defined on the basis of patient history, review of medical records, or baseline HbA(1c) or fasting serum glucose-and risk of new-onset diabetes among those without diabetes at baseline. the primary endpoint was a composite of death from coronary heart disease, non-fatal myocardial infarction, fatal or non-fatal ischaemic stroke, or unstable angina requiring hospital admission. ODYSSEY OUTCOMES is registered with ClinicalTrials. gov, number NCT01663402. Findings At study baseline, 5444 patients (28.8%) had diabetes, 8246 (43.6%) had prediabetes, and 5234 (27.7%) had normoglycaemia. There were no significant differences across glycaemic categories in median LDL cholesterol at baseline (2.20-2.28 mmol/L), after 4 months' treatment with alirocumab (0.80 mmol/L), or after 4 months' treatment with placebo (2.25-2.28 mmol/L). in the placebo group, the incidence of the primary endpoint over a median of 2.8 years was greater in patients with diabetes (16.4%) than in those with prediabetes (9.2%) or normoglycaemia (8.5%); hazard ratio (HR) for diabetes versus normoglycaemia 2.09 (95% CI 1.78-2.46, p, Sanofi; Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Sanofi and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals.

Abstract: Elevated admission plasma glucose levels140 mg/dl are associated with adverse clinical outcomes in both diabetic and non-diabetic patients admitted with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We aimed to evaluate the association between admission plasma glucose levels140 mg/dl and the outcome of non-diabetic patients admitted with acute coronary syndrome.The study population consisted of patients with acute coronary syndrome included in the Acute Coronary Syndrome Israeli Survey during 2000-2013. Diabetic patients were excluded. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality at one year.The 452 0 patients had a mean age of 61.7±13.5 years and were stratified into four quartiles according to admission plasma glucose (60-94, 95-105, 106-119, 120-140 mg/dl). Patients with higher admission plasma glucose were older and included a higher percentage of smokers. In addition, the higher the glucose so also did they have a poorer risk factor profile including a higher body mass index, total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. During the first year 5.2% of patients died. A comparison of one-year mortality according to admission plasma glucose quartiles demonstrated a significant and progressive increase in mortality risk as admission plasma glucose rose (3.5%, 4.1%, 6.1%, 6.4%, respectively, p=0.001). However, this association lost its clinical significance following a multivariate analysis ( p=0.08).High admission plasma glucose levels within the normal to mildly impaired range are associated with increased one-year mortality in non-diabetic acute coronary syndrome patients. However, the higher glucose level is probably not the cause for the adverse outcome but rather a marker for high risk. Our findings support the definition of 140 mg/dl as the cutoff for clinically acceptable admission glucose levels in patients with acute coronary syndrome.

Abstract: Background Context X-ray absorption is highest in the organs and tissues located closest to the radiation source. The photon flux that crosses the body decreases from the entry surface toward the image receptor. The internal organs absorb x-rays and shield each other during irradiation. Therefore, changing the x-ray projection angle relative to the patient for specific spine procedures changes the radiation dose that each organ receives. Every organ has different radiation sensitivity, so irradiation from different sides of the body changes the biological influence and radiation risk potential on the total body, that is the effective dose (ED). Purpose The study aimed to determine the less radiation-sensitive sides of the body during lateral and anterior-posterior (AP) or posterior anterior (PA) directions. Study Design The study used exposure of patient phantoms and Monte Carlo simulation of the effective doses. Patient Sample Calculations for adults and 10-year-old children were included because the pediatric population has a greater lifetime radiation risk than adults. Outcome Measures Pediatric and adult tissue and organ doses and ED from cervical, thoracic, and lumbar x-ray spine examinations were performed from different projections. Methods Standard mathematical phantoms for adults and 10-year-old children, using PCXMC 2.0 software based on Monte Carlo simulations, were used to calculate pediatric and adult tissue and organ doses and ED. The study was not funded. The authors have no conflicts of interest to declare. Results Spine x-ray exposure from various right (RT) LAT projection angles was associated with lower ED compared with the same left (LT) LAT projections (up to 28% and 27% less for children aged 10 and adults, respectively). The PA spine projections showed up to 64% lower ED for children aged 10 and 65% for adults than AP projections. The AP projection at the thoracic spine causes an excess breast dose of 543.3% and 597.0% for children aged 10 and adults, respectively. Conclusions Radiation ED in spine procedures can be significantly reduced by performing x-ray exposures through the less radiation-sensitive sides of the body, which are PA in the frontal position and right lateral in the lateral position.

Abstract: Unrecognized renal insufficiency, defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate60 mL/min/1.73 m(2) in the presence of normal serum creatinine, is common among patients with acute coronary syndrome. We aimed to determine the prevalence and clinical significance of unrecognized renal insufficiency in a large unselected population of patients with acute coronary syndrome.The study population consisted of patients with acute coronary syndrome included in the Acute Coronary Syndrome Israeli biennial Surveys during 2000-2013. The estimated glomerular filtration rate was calculated using the simplified Modification of Diet in Renal Disease formula. Patients were stratified into 3 groups: 1) normal renal function (estimated glomerular filtration rates ≥60 mL/min/1/73 m(2)); 2) unrecognized renal insufficiency (estimated glomerular filtration rates60 mL/min/1/73 m(2) with serum creatinine ≤1.2 mg/dL); and 3) recognized renal insufficiency (estimated glomerular filtration rates60 mL/min/1/73 m(2) with serum creatinine ≥1.2 mg/dL). The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality at 1 year.Included in the study were 12,830 acute coronary syndrome patients. Unrecognized renal insufficiency was present in 2536 (19.8%). Patients with unrecognized renal insufficiency were older and more frequently females. All-cause mortality rates at 1 year were highest among patients with recognized renal insufficiency, followed by patients with unrecognized renal insufficiency, with the lowest mortality rates observed in patients with normal renal function (19.4%, 9.9%, and 3.3%, respectively, P.0001). Despite their increased risk, patients with renal insufficiency were less frequently referred for coronary angiography and were less commonly treated with guideline-based cardiovascular medications.Acute coronary syndrome patients with unrecognized renal insufficiency should be considered as a high-risk population. The question of whether this group would benefit from a more aggressive therapeutic approach should still be evaluated.

Abstract: The salutary effects of statin therapy in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) are well established. Although generally considered safe, statin therapy has been reported to contribute to induction of diabetes mellitus (DM).To assess the risk-benefit of statin therapy, prescribed for the prevention of CVD, in the development of DM.In a population-based real-life study, the incidence of DM and CVD were assessed retrospectively among 265,414 subjects aged 40-70 years, 17.9% of whom were treated with statins. Outcomes were evaluated according to retrospectively determined baseline 10 year cardiovascular (CV) mortality risks as defined by the European Systematic COronary Risk Evaluation, statin dose-intensity regimen, and level of drug adherence.From 2010 to 2014, 5157 (1.9%) new cases of CVD and 11,637 (4.4%) of DM were observed. Low-intensity statin therapy with over 50% adherence was associated with increased DM incidence in patients at low or intermediate baseline CV risk, but not in patients at high CV risk. In patients at low CV risk, no CV protective benefit was obtained. The number needed to harm (NNH; incident DM) for low-intensity dose regimens with above 50% adherence was 40. In patients at intermediate and high CV risk, the number needed to treat was 125 and 29; NNH was 50 and 200, respectively.Prescribing low-dose statins for primary prevention of CVD is beneficial in patients at high risk and may be detrimental in patients at low CV risk. In patients with intermediate CV risk, our data support current recommendations of individualizing treatment decisions.

Abstract: PURPOSE Despite its proven efficacy, low participation rates in cardiac prevention and rehabilitation programs (CPRPs) prevail worldwide, especially among ethnic minorities. This is strongly evident in Israel's Arab minority. Since psychological distress has been found to be associated with CPRP participation and minorities are subjected to higher levels of distress, it is plausible that distress may be an important barrier for CPRP participation among minority patients. The current prospective study assessed the contribution of depression and anxiety symptoms to participation in a CPRP after acute coronary syndrome, both in the enrollment phase and when considering adherence over time, among Jewish (majority) and Arab (minority) patients in Israel. METHODS Patients were interviewed during hospitalization about their emotional status and at a 6-mo follow-up concerning participation in a CPRP. Analyses were performed on 397 patients. The Brief Symptom Inventory was used. Logistic regression modeling was applied. RESULTS Symptoms of depression, but not anxiety, were frequently observed among Arab patients compared with their Jewish counterparts. In analyses adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity, and sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, having symptoms of anxiety was associated with less participation in a CPRP, evident for both Jews and Arabs; this association was less evident for symptoms of depression. Multivariable adjusted models did not show a significant association of symptoms of anxiety or depression with adherence in a CPRP. Accounting for psychological distress did not reduce the sharp difference between Jews and Arabs in CPRP participation. CONCLUSION Symptoms of distress may serve as barriers to CPRP participation, regardless of ethnic origin.

Abstract: Objective: The current study explored whether attachment orientations moderate the associations between caregiver burden and depressive symptoms among women coping with their partners’ first time acute coronary syndrome. The association between burden and depression was hypothesized to be stronger among caregivers high on anxious attachment than among caregivers low on this dimension. In addition, the association between burden and depressive symptoms was hypothesized to be weaker among caregivers higher on avoidant attachment than among those lower on this dimension. Method: The sample consisted of 111 female caregivers of male patients admitted to the cardiac care unit of a hospital in Israel. Caregivers completed a measure of attachment orientations during patients’ hospitalization (baseline). Caregiver burden was measured 1 month later. Depressive symptoms were measured at baseline and again at 6-month follow-up. Structural equation modeling was used to test the moderational models. Results: The association between caregiver burden and depressive symptoms at follow-up was moderated by attachment-related anxiety but not attachment-related avoidance. Congruent with predictions, a stronger association between caregiver burden and depressive symptoms occurred for caregivers with greater (vs. lower) attachment anxiety. Conclusions: The findings shed light on the possible dynamics among attachment orientations and affect regulation when coping with one’s partner’s illness. The findings are discussed in light of Pietromonaco, Uchino, and Dunkel Schetter’s (2013) model of integrating attachment into health psychology research.

Abstract: Objective. To achieve a comprehensive understanding of patients' adherence to medication following acute coronary syndrome (ACS), we assessed the possible moderating role played by attachment orientation on the effects of attitudes, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control (PBC), as derived from the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB; Ajzen, 1991), on intention and reported adherence. Method. A prospective longitudinal design was employed. During hospitalization, ACS male patients (N=106) completed a set of self-report questionnaires including socio-demographic variables, attachment orientation, and measures of TPB constructs. Six months post-discharge, 90 participants completed a questionnaire measuring adherence to medication. Results. Attachment orientations moderated some of the predictions of the TPB model. PBC predicted intention and reported adherence, but these associations were found to be significant only among individuals with lower, as opposed to higher, attachment anxiety. The association between attitudes and intention was stronger among individuals with higher, as opposed to lower, attachment anxiety. Only among individuals with higher attachment avoidance, subjective norms were negatively associated with intention to take medication. Conclusions. Cognitive variables appear to explain both adherence intention and behavior, but differently, depending on individuals' attachment orientations. Integrating personality and cognitive models may prove effective in understanding patients' health behaviors. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract: Congestive heart failure (CHF) is associated with increased stress and alterations in metabolism, favoring catabolism over anabolism. Hormonal profiles of patients with heart failure have been assessed using serum and saliva as matrices, which are only point measurements and do not provide long-term information. Scalp hair is a novel matrix that allows for measurement of hormones over a period of several months.We aimed to evaluate whether levels of cortisol and testosterone and their ratio (C/T) in hair correlate with severity of heart failure. We conducted a prospective study in ambulatory male patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)≤40%. Hormone levels were measured using immunoassays in the proximal 2 cm of hair (representing approximately two months of systemic hormone exposure). Primary endpoints included the correlation of hair cortisol, testosterone, and C/T levels with the New York Heart Association (NYHA) class, LVEF, exercise capacity and NT-proBNP.The 44 CHF patients had a median hair level (range) of cortisol of 207 (117.7-1277.3)ng/g. Hair cortisol levels correlated positively with NYHA class (r=0.48, p=0.001) and negatively with treadmill stress test performance, (r=-0.37, p0.05). The hair testosterone was 5.17 (2.39-24.64)ng/g and the C/T ratio was 39.89 (12.98-173.73). No associations were found between hair testosterone and C/T ratio and heart failure severity; however, the C/T ratio was higher in patients who required a CHF-related hospitalization than in patients who did not require this in the year following the inclusion in the study.Hair cortisol levels correlate with heart failure severity as assessed by the NYHA class and exercise capacity, while hair testosterone and C/T levels do not correlate with heart failure severity.

Abstract: Guidelines recommend low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) target of70 mg/dL in patients with coronary disease. However, this goal is not achieved in many patients.We compared LDL-C control in patients with coronary disease treated by a primary care physician or with the addition of a cardiologist.Included were patients with coronary disease who had full lipid profile. Primary end points included the percentage of patients who achieved the LDL-C goals of100 mg/dL and70 mg/dL.Of the 27,172 patients, 12,965 (47.7%) were followed only by a primary care physician and 14,207 (52.3%) were also followed by a cardiologist. Overall, 18,366 patients (67.6%) achieved the LDL-C goal of100 mg/dL, and 6517 patients (24%) achieved the LDL-C goal of70 mg/dL. Patients followed by a cardiologist more frequently achieved the LDL-C goal of100 mg/dL (74.3% and 60.3%; P.0001, in patients treated by a cardiologist or by a primary care physician, respectively), as well as the lower LDL-C goal of70 mg/dL (27.2% and 20.4%; P.0001, in patients treated by a cardiologist or by a primary care physician, respectively). Differences in LDL-C control remained significant after a multivariate adjustment. Patients followed by a cardiologist were more commonly treated with highly potent statins and with non-statin cholesterol-lowering drugs.Among patients with coronary disease, those followed by a cardiologist receive a more aggressive antilipid treatment and more frequently achieve lipids goals. Nevertheless, the disappointingly poor lipid control in both groups warrants an effort to improve adherence for guidelines in both primary care and cardiology clinics.

Abstract: trials have shown conflicting results. The ACCORD, ADVANCE and VADT studies examined diabetic patients whose treatment was aimed at reducing HbA1c levels to either below 6% (tight control arm) or between 7 and 7.9%. The three studies observed a slight (6–13%) decrease in the incidence of cardiovascular (CV) events in the tight control arm with no statistical significance [4–6]. The ACCORD study was stopped prematurely after 3.5 years due to a 22% excess in overall mortality and a 35% excess in CV mortality in the tight control arm. By contrast, the ADVANCE study showed a 12% reduction in mortality rates in the tight control arm compared with 7% in the other arm, which was not statistically significant. The effect of glycemic control in acute MI has been studied. In the DIGAMI study, diabetic patients who presented with acute MI were treated with either routine or intensive glycemic control. A significant reduction in mortality within 3 years was found in the intensive control group compared with the routine control group, especially in those patients not treated with insulin before hospitalization [7].

Abstract: Background: Chronic kidney disease is a frequent comorbidity among patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We aimed to evaluate treatment characteristics in ACS patients according to their renal function and to assess the effect of differences in therapy on clinical outcomes. Methods: Included were patients with ACS enrolled in the biennial Acute Coronary Syndrome Israeli Surveys (ACSIS) during 2000-2013. Excluded were patients with cardiogenic shock at presentation. The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated using the simplified Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) formula. The distribution of the eGFRs was divided into 4 categories (2). The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality at 1 year. Results: A total of 13,194 patients with ACS were included. Patients with a reduced eGFR were less likely to be admitted to a coronary care unit and had lower rates of coronary angiograms and subsequent percutaneous coronary interventions. Furthermore, as the eGFR was lower, the patients were less frequently treated with aspirin, clopidogrel, β-blockers, and ACE inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockers. We demonstrated an inverse association between renal function and 1-year mortality, with the highest mortality rates observed in the group with the lowest eGFR (HR = 3.8, 95% CI 2.9-4.9, p < 0.0001). Differences in mortality remained significant following a multivariate analysis for all the baseline characteristics as well as for invasive and medical treatment (HR = 2.7, 95% CI 1.9-3.7, p < 0.0001). Conclusions: ACS patients with chronic kidney disease represent a high-risk group with an increased mortality risk. Despite this high risk, these patients are less frequently selected for an invasive treatment strategy and are less commonly treated with guideline-based medications. However, reduced renal function was associated with higher mortality regardless of the variations in therapy.

Abstract: Partners' support has been associated with both patients' increased and decreased inclination toward health-promoting behaviors. Our hypothesis for understanding this enigma is that it is the interplay between partners' manner of care provision and patients' ability to accept these care efforts that may best predict patients' adherence. Thus, the current study's main goal was to examine the contribution of the interaction between caregivers' support style (sensitive and compulsive) and cardiac patients' sense of relational entitlement (restricted, excessive, assertive, entitlement expectations) to patients' medication adherence. The Adult Caregiving Questionnaire, the Sense of Relational Entitlement Scale, and the Medication Adherence Report Scale were administered to 114 cardiac patients and their partners, during patients' hospitalizations and 6 months later. The lowest levels of medication adherence were detected among patients high on restricted entitlement who were married to partners high on compulsive caregiving style. These findings strengthen our claim that it is the interaction between recipients' personality and providers' support style which explain self-regulatory processes that arise during times of family medical crises.

Abstract: Objective To assess change in patient's attributions of illness over the long term in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods 178 patients were asked during the index hospitalization and 2–2.5 years after discharge whether they thought each of 13 possible factors may have contributed to their illness. Two dichotomous variables, conventional attribution (attribution to traditional risk factors, CA) and psychosocial attribution (PA), were defined and assessed for each patient. Results General stress, cigarette smoking, and heredity were the most commonly mentioned attribution for the AMI. The proportion of individuals with positive CA increased at follow up. There was little congruence between patients’ attributions and actual self-reported risk factors, either at baseline or at follow up. Age, education, country of birth, and anxiety were found as independent predictors of illness attribution. The participation in a cardiac prevention and rehabilitation program (CPRP) did not contribute to a significant change in CA attributions. Conclusion Substantial proportions of patients have a poor understanding of the causes of their AMI both at onset of the illness and 2–2.5 years later, notwithstanding CPRP. Practice implications The health care system can ill afford complacency with regards patient education and understanding.

Abstract: Increased platelet reactivity and decreased response to antiplatelet drugs may result in recurrent ischemic events after acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We evaluated laboratory response to aspirin in patients with ACS before and after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and assessed its effect on major adverse clinical events. Sixty-three consecutive patients with ACS were tested for response to aspirin by light transmittance aggregometry (LTA) and the IMPACT-R test (with arachidonic acid) before and 2 to 4 days after PCI and clopidogrel loading. Patients were followed for clinical events up to 15 months from PCI. Response to aspirin improved significantly after PCI and clopidogrel treatment (mean arachidonic acid-induced LTA decreased from 34.9 ± 3.35% before PCI to 15.2 ± 2.2% and surface coverage increased from 2.2 ± 0.27% to 6.2 ± 0.6%, p0.0001 for the 2 methods). Improved response to aspirin after PCI correlated with response to clopidogrel (LTA and IMPACT-R, p0.01). Patients with good laboratory response to aspirin before but not after PCI had a significantly lower major cardiovascular event rate during 15-month follow-up in multivariate analysis. In conclusion, laboratory response to aspirin is highly dynamic in patients with ACS. Improved response to aspirin after PCI may result from stabilization of coronary artery disease and/or clopidogrel treatment. Laboratory response to aspirin before PCI and clopidogrel loading is a sensitive marker for platelet reactivity that correlates with clinical outcome in patients with ACS.

Abstract: Objectives: We aimed to study the trends in management and outcome of post CABG patients presenting with acute MI. Background: Primary angioplasty is the treatment of choice in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Saphenous vein grafts used for CABG are large-diameter conduits that tend to accumulate a large mass of thrombus when they are the culprit artery for acute myocardial infarction (MI). We hypothesized that performing PCI in these patients is more complex and possibly results in worse outcome compared to non-CABG patients. Methods: Data for patients with STEMI was obtained from five acute coronary syndromes Israeli biennial Surveys (ACSIS) during 2000–2008. Baseline characteristics, management and outcome of post-CABG patients were compared to non-post CABG patients during 2006–2008 surveys. Results: A total of 9,781 patients were included. About 1,002 (10.2%) were post-CABG. Reperfusion therapy for post-CABG patients (34–48%) was consistently lower compared to non-CABG patients (57–65%). Angiographic outcome in patients with STEMI who underwent primary PCI (17 post-CABG, mean age 66.6 ± 9.1 and 821 non-CABG, age 60.1 ± 12.9) was successful (TIMI flow 3) in 86 and 88%, respectively. Thirty-day mortality was 5.9 and 5.1% (P = 0.89) and MACE rates were 17.6 and 12.5%, respectively (P = 0.54). Conclusions: Use of primary PCI in post-CABG patients was lower than in non-CABG patients but increased steadily and to a similar extent in both groups. Angiographic and clinical outcome was similar despite assumingly larger thrombus burden in post CABG patients. Therefore, primary angioplasty is appropriate also in post-CABG patients presenting with STEMI. © 2011 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Abstract: Objective The current prospective study explored how male cardiac patients' perceptions of received support (i.e., active engagement, protective buffering, and overprotection) moderated the associations between female partners' perceptions of provided support and patients' recovery outcomes: psychological well-being, cholesterol levels, and smoking cessation. Methods Couples (N = 86) completed surveys at the initial hospitalization after patients' Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), and 1 and 6 months later. Partners' ways of providing support and patients' concurrent perceptions of these ways were measured using the Ways of Giving Support Questionnaire; patients' depressive and anxiety symptoms were measured using the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI). Patients' cholesterol levels were assessed during hospitalization and 6 months later, and smoking habits were reported by the patients. Results Female partners' protective buffering was positively associated with male patients' depressive symptoms at follow-up only when male patients' own perceptions of partners' protective buffering were low. Female partners' active engagement was positively associated with better odds for male patients' cessation of smoking only when patients' own perceptions of partners' active engagement were high. Finally, female partners' overprotection was associated with higher levels of male patients' harmful blood lipids at follow-up, but only when patients' own perceptions of partners' overprotection were high. Conclusions As hypothesized, the effect of partners' perceptions of support provided on patients' recovery was moderated by patients' own perceptions of the support received. The effect of this interaction was determined by the specific types of support provided or received and by the specific recovery outcome that was measured. The clinical and theoretical implications of the findings are discussed.

Abstract: AIMS To test the efficacy and safety of a chitosan pad for femoral haemostasis as an adjunct to manual compression. Haemostasis of the femoral artery after coronary angiography by manual compression is time consuming and uncomfortable for the patient. Closure devices are costly and do not reduce vascular complication rate. The HemCon(r) pad is used by the US army to control traumatic bleeding. It consists of chitosan, a positively charged carbohydrate that attracts the negatively charged blood cells and platelets and promotes clotting. METHODS AND RESULTS Patients undergoing percutaneous coronary angiography were 1:1 randomised for manual compression with regular or HemCon(r) pad. All patients were catheterised with 6 Fr sheath and received 2500 u of heparin. Time to haemostasis, incidence of minor and major bleeding, haematoma size, post-procedural stay at the hospital and level of satisfaction were compared between the two groups. Seventy patients in the HemCon group and 66 patients in the regular pad groups were recruited. Activated clotting time (ACT) before manual compression was similar, 183.9 ± 43.4 and 178.3 ± 34.2 seconds in the HemCon(r) and regular pad groups respectively. Time to haemostasis was 5.6 ± 2.1 and 8.4 ± 3.5 minutes in the HemCon® and regular pad groups, respectively (p

Abstract: Aims: To evaluate the Prokinetic bare metal stent implanted in patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods: We retrospectively studied ACS patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with a Prokinetic stent implantation. Excluded were patients presenting with cardiogenic shock, undergoing PCI to left main coronary artery (LM), or having implantation of additional stents other than Prokinetic. Six and 12 months clinical follow-up was obtained by phone. Results: A total of 140 Prokinetic stents were implanted in 117 patients (age 64±13.0 years, 78% men). Thirty two percent of the patients had unstable angina, 36% had non ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and 33% had ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Forty two percent of lesions were categorized as B2 and 21% as C type. Procedural success was achieved in 99.1% of lesions. Clinical success was achieved in 97.4% of patients. Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) rate was 8.5% and 11.1% at 6 and 12 months follow-up, respectively. The incidence of cardiac death, MI and TLR was 2.6%, 3.4% and 2.6%, respectively at 6 months, and 4.3%, 4.3%, 2.6% respectively at 12 months. Conclusions: Clinical outcomes at 6 and 12 months after Prokinetic stent implantation are excellent and may be attributable to its unique combination of composition, design and coating.

Abstract: Mean platelets volume (MPV) has been shown to correlate with impaired reperfusion and increased mortality in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with primary precutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We aimed to study whether the same association exists in STEMI patients treated with thrombolysis. Included in the study were STEMI patients receiving thrombolysis. Thrombolysis failure was defined as a need for rescue precutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), in-hospital mortality, unplanned PCI during hospitalization or complete occlusion of the culprit coronary artery in a follow-up angiography. MPV levels were compared between patients with failed or successful thrombolysis. Of the 122 patients, 30 had failed thrombolysis while the other 92 fulfilled the criteria for successful treatment. There were no significant differences in demographic or clinical baseline characteristics of the two groups. Mean MPV was significantly higher in patients with failed thrombolysis compared to patients with successful treatment (9.2 +/- 1.1fl and 8.7 +/- 1.0fl respectively, p = 0.019 in multivariate analysis). The prevalence of thrombolysis failure was significantly higher in patients with MPV8.6 fl compared to those with MPV/= 8.6 fl (31.8% and 16% respectively, p = 0.048 in multivariate analysis). It appears that higher MPV correlates with thrombolysis failure in patients presenting with STEMI. MPV may be used as an adjunctive readily available factor for assessing thrombolysis outcome upon admission.

Abstract: More than 230 million major surgeries are performed annually worldwide,1 and this number grows continuously. The 30-day mortality associated with moderate- to high-risk noncardiac surgery in recent large cohorts and population-based studies exceeds 2%2–4 and surpasses 5% in patients at high cardiac risk.5 Cardiac complications constitute the most common cause of postoperative morbidity and mortality,4,6 having considerable impact on the length and cost of hospitalization.7 As our population ages, more high-risk cardiac patients will undergo surgery, and perioperative myocardial infarction (PMI) can be an increasing problem. Traditionally, MI was defined by the World Health Organization criteria, ECG criteria, and cardiac enzymes. Defining PMI, however, is often difficult because most PMIs occur without symptoms in anesthetized or sedated patients, ECG changes are subtle and/or transient, and the creatine kinase-MB isoenzyme has limited sensitivity and specificity because of coexisting skeletal muscle injury.8 Consequently, PMI was often recognized late (postoperative day 3 to 5), resulting in high (30% to 70%9) mortality. Cardiac troponin assays have changed this definition.10 The recent universal definition of MI11 is based on a rise and/or fall of cardiac biomarkers (preferably troponin) in the setting of myocardial ischemia: cardiac symptoms, ECG changes, or imaging findings. Studies using serial troponin measurements demonstrate that most PMIs start within 24 to 48 hours of surgery during the greatest postoperative stress.12–15 Le Manach et al15 observed early ( 24 hours) peaks in troponin in 1136 patients after abdominal aortic aneurysmectomy. Yet, 90% of troponin elevations began within

Abstract: Morris Mosseri, MD** Dr. Kertai has done an excellent job in the core review in distilling the essence from the complex and multifaceted literature on preoperative coronary revascularization. However, under the surface, a titanic debate takes place on some major issues: Does any randomized controlled trial (RCT) always provide better evidence than any observational study? Can two recent RCTs completely overturn the data accumulated by a number of previous observational studies? Was the methodology used to generate the data adequately convincing?

Abstract: Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) achieves a high epicardial reperfusion rate; however, it is often suboptimal in achieving myocardial reperfusion due to distal embolization of atherothrombotic particles. The present study assessed whether the capture of embolic particles during PCI would improve myocardial reperfusion outcome. In a multicenter, prospective, randomized, controlled study, 100 patients with STEMI and coronary angiographic evidence of thrombotic occlusion were randomly assigned to PCI using the FilterWire EZ (n = 51) or a control group (n = 49) using regular guidewires. The FilterWire EZ was successfully delivered across the lesion in 84% of patients in the FilterWire EZ group. Primary efficacy end points, including markers of epicardial (Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction grade flow) and myocardial reperfusion (myocardial blush score and percent early resolution of ST-segment elevation), did not differ between the 2 study groups. Further, 60- and 90-minute percent ST-segment resolutions were identical in the 2 groups. In a subgroup analysis, a blush score of 3 was achieved in 94% of patients in whom the filter’s landing zone was in a vessel diameter >2.5 mm compared with only 55% in those with smaller vessel diameter (p = 0.04). This corresponds to a better debris capture in filters located in large versus small vessels (p = 0.08). In conclusion, in patients with STEMI, use of the FilterWire EZ as an adjunct to primary PCI did not improve angiographic or electrocardiographic measurements of reperfusion compared with conventional PCI only.

Abstract: Treatment with clopidogrel is subject to wide variability in response, and high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HTPR) is associated with increased risk of ischemic events. Ticagrelor has been shown to have antiplatelet effects superior to those of clopidogrel, with subsequent reduced clinical ischemic events. However, the efficacy of ticagrelor in high-risk patients with coronary disease who have high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HTPR) with clopidogrel has not been examined.We recruited 201 patients (mean age, 64 ± 10 years; 20% women) with stable/unstable angina who were receiving clopidogrel treatment and in whom coronary catheterization was planned. Platelet reactivity was tested using VerifyNow P2Y12 assay (Accumetrics, San Diego, CA) (HTPR defined as P2Y12 reaction units [PRU] ≥ 208). Patients with HTPR were randomized to receive either additional clopidogrel 300 mg or ticagrelor 180 mg before coronary angiography, and persisted with the respective treatment after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The primary end point was the rate of troponin elevation after PCI, and the secondary end point was the change in platelet reactivity 24 hours after PCI. In addition, clinical outcomes at 30 days were evaluated.Eighty-four (42%) patients had HTPR (mean PRU, 270.8 ± 46.5) and were randomly assigned to clopidogrel or ticagrelor treatment. Subsequently, 49 patients underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (26 receiving ticagrelor and 23 receiving clopidogrel). After PCI, the mean PRU in the ticagrelor group declined significantly (ticagrelor, 59.3 ± 49 vs clopidogrel, 202.4 ± 60.4; P 0.0001). The rate of cardiac troponin elevation and clinical ischemic events were similar between the groups.In high-risk patients with coronary disease and HTPR on clopidogrel, ticagrelor was highly effective in platelet inhibition and overcoming HTPR compared with continued clopidogrel treatment but had no apparent effect on troponin release or short-term clinical outcomes.

Abstract: Aim The circulating RNA levels are predictive markers in several diseases. We determined the levels of circulating p53-related genes in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), indicating major heart muscle damage. Methods Plasma RNA was extracted from the patients (n=45) upon their arrival to the hospital (STEMI 0h) and at four hours post-catheterization (STEMI 4h) as well as from controls (n=34). Results Of 18 circulating p53-related genes, nine genes were detectable. A significantly lower incidence of circulating p21 (p ＜ 0.0001), Notch1 (p=0.042) and BTG2 (p ＜ 0.0001) was observed in the STEMI 0h samples in comparison to the STEMI 4h and control samples. Lower expression levels (2.1-fold) of circulating BNIP3L (p=0.011), p21 (3.4-fold, p=0.005) and BTG2 (6.3-fold, p=0.0001) were observed in the STEMI 0h samples in comparison to the STEMI 4h samples, with a 7.4-fold lower BTG2 expression (p ＜ 0.001) and 2.6-fold lower p21 expression (p=0.034) compared to the control samples. Moreover, the BNIP3L expression (borderline significance, p=0.0655) predicted the level of peak troponin, a marker of myocardial infarction. In addition, the BNIP3L levels on admission (p=0.0025), at post-catheterization (p=0.020) and the change between the groups (p=0.0079) were inversely associated with troponin. The BNIP3L (p=0.0139) and p21 levels (p=0.0447) were also associated with a longer time to catheterization. Conclusions Our results suggest that circulating downstream targets of p53 are inhibited during severe AMI and subsequently re-expressed after catheterization, uncovering possible novel death-or-survival decisions regarding the fate of p53 in the heart and the potential use of its target genes as prognostic biomarkers for oxygenation normalization.

Abstract: Aims Guidelines advocate selective non-invasive testing before major non-cardiac surgery, yet data defining who may benefit from such tests is lacking. We aimed to find the predictors that define patients who are most likely to benefit from preoperative cardiac testing and coronary revascularization (CR). Methods and results In 624 consecutive major vascular surgery patients, the preoperative thallium scanning (PTS) results and subsequent CRs were correlated with long-term (3–15 years) survival. Of all patients, 510 (80.6%) had PTS, 154 (24.7%) had moderate-severe ischaemia on PTS, and 96 (15.4%) underwent CR. Seven predictors: age ≥65, diabetes, cerebrovascular disease, ischaemic heart disease, congestive heart failure, ST-depression on preoperative ECG, and renal insufficiency, independently determined long-term survival. A long-term survival score (LTSS) comprised of these predictors, divided all patients into low, intermediate, and high-risk groups (0–1, 2–3, ≥4 predictors, respectively) with a 5-year survival of 83 ± 2%, 60 ± 3%, and 34 ± 6%, respectively. Compared with low-risk patients, intermediate and high-risk patients had worse survival [HR (CI) = 2.6 (2.0–3.4) and 5.9 (4.1–8.9), respectively, P < 0.001]. Yet, only the intermediate-risk group had better long-term survival following preoperative CR [HR = 0.48 (0.31–0.75), P = 0.001]. The low-risk groups' favourable survival and high-risk groups' poor survival were not significantly affected by CR. Conclusion Intermediate-risk patients (LTSS 2–3) are most likely to have a long-term survival benefit from PTS and CR.

Abstract: Gradual prolonged balloon angioplasty may cause less arterial trauma, higher success rates, and fewer complications than conventional angioplasty (POBA). The OFFAR aimed to determine the safety and effectiveness of the FX MiniRAIL (FX) catheter, used with a slow, stepwise inflation protocol.From June to December 2003, 181 consecutive patients (age 61.9 +/- 10.6 years) with de novo coronary artery lesions (n = 217) were treated by FX and stent implantation in 11 European centers. Fifty-one patients (28.2%) had diabetes, and 70 (38.7%) had prior MI; 73 patients (40.3%) presented with stable angina and 85 (47.0%) with unstable angina. Fifty-five lesions (25.3%) were in small vessels (2.5 mm), 40 (18.6%) were highly calcific, and 133 (62%) were long lesions (18 mm). Stenosis resolution pressure was 7.17 +/- 4.2 atm; inflation time was 116.5 +/- 54.6 seconds. FX technical success (residual stenosis50% post-FX) was obtained in 191 lesions (88.0%), and FX optimal success (residual stenosis20% post-FX) in 117 (54.9%). Dissection was observed in 34 lesions (15.9%), 27 (79.3%) of which were type A or B. No coronary ruptures occurred. Nine (5.0%) in-hospital events occurred, all non-Q-wave MI. During 6-month follow-up, major adverse clinical events occurred in 14.4% of cases (n = 26; 3 cardiac deaths, 1 Q-wave MI, 2 non-Q-wave MI, 3 CABG, and 17 re-PTCA).The results of the OFFAR suggest that FX utilization for treatment of de novo complex coronary lesions is safe and effective.

Abstract: Acute heart failure (AHF) evolves through two phases. In the first phase, there is interstitial congestion with no clinical sign of edema (preclinical phase); the second, during which lung alveoli begin to fill with fluid, manifests as clinically overt alveolar edema. Treatment of AHF at its preclinical phase can alleviate its clinical impact. Presently, there is no technique that detects the interstitial phase of AHF. We used a device based on a new method of lung bioimpedance measurement. The device measures internal thoracic impedance (ITI), which nearly equals inherent lung bioimpedance. This method can detect small changes in lung fluid that occur during the interstitial stage of AHF.The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility and efficacy of the said new method in detecting preclinical AHF.Internal thoracic impedance and pertinent clinical parameters were monitored for 72 h in 403 patients hospitalized for an acute coronary syndrome without evidence of AHF at study entry.Seventy patients developed AHF during monitoring. Internal thoracic impedance decreased in these patients by 16.4% (95% CI=-12.2% to -20.6%; P.0001) from the baseline level at 44+/-15.1 min prior to the onset of lung rales. The other 333 patients had no clinical sign of AHF, and their ITI declined only by 4.5% (95% CI=2.5% to -11.5%; P=.3) compared with the baseline level.The new method for ITI measurement is sufficiently sensitive in detecting AHF at its preclinical stage. An ITI decrease of more than 12% heralds the appearance of clinically overt AHF and, thus, allows earlier therapy.

Immediate procedural success rate was 84.8% (95% CI = 80.3%–88.6%). Multiple clinical and angiographic characteristics were evaluated as possible predictors of success/failure. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that a tapered morphology (P < 0.001, OR = 6.1; 95% CI = 2.1–18.2), ≤45 degree of angulations of the target artery (P < 0.03, OR = 4.5; 95% CI = 1.2–17.2), length of occlusion

Abstract: Background: Five to 15% of the population have allergy to nickel, chromium, or molybdenum, which is a potential cause for in-stent restenosis. The Titan stent is made of stainless steel and is coated with titanium-nitride oxide (TiNOX), which completely prevents the discharge of metal elements. We performed a real-life multicenter registry to assess the short- and long-term characteristics of the Titan stent. Methods and results: A total of 103 Titan stents was implanted in 100 patients. Patients were 61.4F12.6 years old (81 men). Risk factors included hypercholesterolemia (63%), hypertension (53%), diabetes mellitus (DM; 35%), and current smoking (23%). Indications for PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention) were acute coronary syndromes (ACS) in 68% [acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (MI) in 8%], stable AP (angina pectoris) in 25%, and silent ischemia in 7% of the patients. Fifty-two percent of the treated lesions were of Type B2 or C. Lesion length was 14.3F2.9 mm and stent diameter was 3.06F0.36 mm. Indications for stenting were prevention of restenosis in 66%, residual stenosis in 33%, dissection in 13%, acute MI in 13%, and in-stent restenosis in 7% of the patients. Procedural success was 100%, with no complications. At 30 days, there were no major adverse cardiac events (MACE), including death, MI, and revascularization. At 180 days, only three patients had TVR (target vessel revascularization); two had TLR (target lesion revascularization) (one PCI and one CABG [coronary artery bypass grafting]), and one patient had a new narrowing proximal to the stent and underwent CABG due to multivessel disease. Conclusions: The Titan stent has a remarkable safety profile in high-risk patients and complex coronary lesions and excellent short- and long-term outcome with a very low clinical TLR rate.

Abstract: Objectives We sought to determine the role of preoperative predictors, particularly ischemia, on preoperative thallium scanning (PTS) and coronary revascularization on low-level and conventional troponin elevations after major vascular surgery. Background Postoperative cardiac troponin (cTn) elevations have recently been shown to predict both short- and long-term mortality after vascular surgery. Methods The perioperative data, including PTS and subsequent coronary revascularization, continuous perioperative 12-lead ST-segment trend monitoring, cTn-I and/or cTn-T, and creatine kinase-MB fraction in the first three postoperative days, were prospectively collected in 501 consecutive elective major vascular procedures. Results Moderate to severe inducible ischemia on PTS was associated with a 49.0% incidence of low-level (cTn-I >0.6 and/or cTn-T >0.03 ng/ml) and 22.4% conventional (cTn-I >1.5 and/or cTn-T >0.1 ng/ml) troponin elevation. In contrast, patients with preoperative coronary revascularization had 23.4% and 6.4% low-level and conventional troponin elevations, respectively, similar to patients without ischemia on PTS. By multivariate logistic regression, ischemia on PTS was the most important predictor of both low-level and conventional troponin elevations (adjusted odds ratios [ORs] 2.5 and 2.7, p = 0.02 and 0.04, respectively), whereas preoperative coronary revascularization predicted less troponin elevations (adjusted ORs 0.35 and 0.16, p = 0.045 and 0.022, respectively). Postoperative ischemia (>10 min), the more so prolonged (>30 min) ischemia was the only independent predictor of troponin elevation if added with the preoperative predictors to the multivariate analysis (ORs 15.8 and 22.8, respectively; p Conclusions Troponin elevations occur frequently after vascular surgery. They are strongly associated with postoperative ischemia, predicted by inducible ischemia on PTS, and reduced by preoperative coronary revascularization.

Abstract: OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the long-term prognosis with postoperative markers of myocardial ischemia and infarction. BACKGROUND Cardiac troponins (cTn) are superior to creatine kinase-MB fraction (CK-MB) in detecting perioperative myocardial infarction (PMI). However, their threshold levels signifying PMI and their long-term prognostic value are not yet determined. METHODS A cohort of 447 consecutive patients who underwent 501 major vascular procedures was prospectively studied. Perioperative continuous 12-lead electrocardiogram monitoring, cardiac troponin-I (cTn-I) and/or cardiac troponin-T (cTn-T), and CK-MB levels on the first three postoperative days, and long-term survival were determined. The association of different cutoff levels of CK-MB, troponin, and ischemia duration with long-term survival was investigated. RESULTS Between 14 (2.9%) and 107 (23.9%) of the patients sustained PMI, depending on the biochemical criteria used. Elevated postoperative CK-MB, cTn, and prolonged (>30 min) ischemia, at all cutoff levels examined, predicted long-term mortality independent of the preoperative predictors: patient's age, type of vascular surgery, previous myocardial infarction, and renal failure (Cox multivariate analysis). Both CK-MB >10% and cTn-I >1.5 ng/ml and/or cTn-T >0.1 ng/ml independently predicted a 3.75-fold and 2.06-fold increase in long-term mortality (p = 0.006 and 0.012, respectively). Similarly, both CK-MB >5% and cTn-I >0.6 ng/ml and/or cTn-T >0.03 ng/ml independently predicted a 2.15-fold and 1.89-fold increase in mortality (p = 0.018 and 0.01, respectively). Patients with both these markers elevated had a 4.19-fold increase in mortality (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Postoperative CK-MB and troponin, even at low cutoff levels, are independent and complementary predictors of long-term mortality after major vascular surgery.

Abstract: Background Perioperative myocardial ischemia is conventionally monitored using five electrocardiographic leads, with only one precordial lead placed at V5. This is based on studies from more than a decade ago. The authors reassessed this convention by analyzing data obtained from continuous on-line 12-lead electrocardiographic monitoring. Methods One hundred eighty-five consecutive patients undergoing vascular surgery were monitored by continuous 12-lead ST-trend analysis during and for 48-72 h after surgery. Cardiac troponin I was measured in the first 3 postoperative days, and cardiac outcome was prospectively recorded. Ischemia was defined as ST deviation, relative to the reference preanesthesia electrocardiogram, of 0.2 mV or more in one lead or 0.1 mV or more in two contiguous leads, lasting more than 10 min. Results During 11,132 patient-hours of monitoring, 38 patients (20.5%) had 66 transient ischemic events, with all but one denoted by ST-segment depression. Twelve patients (6.5%) sustained postoperative infarction (cardiac troponin I > 3.1 ng/ml). Among the 38 patients with ischemia, lead V3 most frequently (86.8%) demonstrated ischemia, followed by V4 (78.9%) and V5 (65.8%). Among the 12 patients with infarction, V4 was most sensitive to ischemia (83.3%), followed by V3 and V5 (75% each). Combining two precordial leads increased the sensitivity for detecting ischemia (97.4% for V3 + V5 and 92.1% for either V4 + V5 or V3 + V4) and infarction (100% for V4 + V5 or V3 + V5 and 83.3% for V3 + V4). On average, baseline preanesthesia ST was above isoelectric in V1 through V3 and below isoelectric in V5 through V6. Lead V4 was closest to the isoelectric level on the baseline electrocardiogram, rendering it most suitable for ischemia monitoring. Conclusions As a single lead, V4 is more sensitive and appropriate than V5 for detecting prolonged postoperative ischemia and infarction. Two precordial leads or more are necessary so as to approach a sensitivity of greater than 95% for detection of perioperative ischemia and infarction.

Abstract: Health-promoting behaviours after acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are effective in preventing recurrence. Ethnicity impacts on such behaviours. We assessed the independent association of Arab vs. Jewish ethnicity with persistence of smoking and physical inactivity 6 months after ACS in central Israel.Prospective cohort study.During their admission for ACS and subsequently 6 months later, 420 patients were interviewed about their smoking and exercise habits. The association of ethnicity with health-promoting behaviours was assessed by logistic regression adjusting for socio-demographic and clinical covariates.Smoking prevalence and physical inactivity were substantially higher among Arab patients than Jewish patients at admission (gender-adjusted prevalence rate ratio (RR) 2.25, 95% CI 1.80-2.81, p 0.01 and RR 1.46, 95% CI 1.28-1.67, p 0.001, respectively). The relative differences increased at 6 months (RR 2.94, 95% CI 2.13-4.07, p 0.001 and RR 3.00, 95% CI 2.24-4.04, p 0.001, respectively). Excess persistent smoking at 6 months among Arab vs. Jewish patients who were smokers at admission (adjusted OR 2.05, 95% CI 1.00-4.20, p = 0.049) was largely mediated through the 3.5-fold higher participation of Jewish patients in cardiac prevention and rehabilitation program (CPRP) (OR adjusted also for CPRP 1.31, 95% CI 0.59-2.93, p = 0.51). Greater persistent sedentary behaviour at 6 months among nonexercisers at admission among Arab patients (adjusted OR 3.68, 95% CI 1.93-7.02, p 0.001) was partly mediated through attendance of CPRP (OR adjusted also for CPRP 2.38, 95% CI 1.19-4.76, p = 0.014).Culturally sensitive programmes need to be developed to enhance CPRP participation and favourable health-promoting changes among Arab patients. A comprehensive understanding of the determinants of the Arab-Jewish differences in efficacious health-promoting behaviours is crucial to inform appropriate ethnic-specific health-promoting strategies.
