Abstract

Atherosclerosis is a systemic disease that can involve different arterial districts. Traditionally, the focus of cardiologists has been on the diagnosis and treatment of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD). However, atherosclerosis localization in other districts is increasingly common and is associated with an increased risk of CAD and, more generally, of adverse cardiovascular events. Although the term peripheral arterial disease (PAD) commonly refers to the localization of atherosclerotic disease in the arterial districts of the lower limbs, in this document, in accordance with the European Society of Cardiology guidelines, the term PAD will be used for all the locations of atherosclerotic disease excluding coronary and aortic ones. The aim of this review is to report updated data on PAD epidemiology, with particular attention to the prevalence and its prognostic impact on patients with CAD. Furthermore, the key points for an appropriate diagnostic framework and a correct pharmacological therapeutic approach are summarized, while surgical/interventional treatment goes beyond the scope of this review.

Abstract

The utilization of cardiovascular rehabilitation (CR) programmes in patients with Lower Extremity Peripheral Artery Disease (LEPAD) is generally poor, with limited evidence of current policies for referral. The aim of the study was to evaluate, within a cohesive network of CR and vascular surgery facilities with facilitated referral process, the clinical characteristic of LEPAD patients referred to CR and related outcomes, as compared to patients not referred. The present is an observational prospective study of consecutive patients recruited at vascular surgery facilities. Out of 329 patients observed, the average referral rate to CR was 34% (28% and 39% in patients with and without recent peripheral revascularization, p<0.05). LEPAD patients entering the CR programme were similar to those who did not according to sex, age, the vascular surgery setting of evaluation, and localization of arterial lesions. Patients with moderate intermittent claudication and patients with acute limb ischemia as index event were more represented among those who attended CR (41% vs 21% and 9% vs 2% respectively, p<0.05). Patients referred to CR had five times more episodes of acute coronary syndrome and heart failure as complication of the index event. The cardiovascular risk profile (obesity 29.5% vs 11%, p<0.05; hypercholesterolemia 80% vs 61%, p<0.05) was much worse in LEPAD patients referred to CR, but conversely, they better achieved secondary prevention targets, particularly for blood pressure control (97% vs 57%, p<0.05). All-cause 2-year mortality in the whole patients' population was 6%. Patients entering the CR programme displayed less events (13.5% vs 37.7%, p<0.05), mainly death (3.1% vs 11.3%, p<0.05) and limb-related events (4.2% vs 15.2%, p<0.05). The results of our study suggest that when a cohesive network of vascular surgery and CR facilities becomes available, the referral rate to rehabilitation may increase up to one third of eligible patient

Abstract

Background Surgery is the primary treatment that can offer potential cure for gastric cancer, but is associated with significant risks. Identifying optimal surgical approaches should be based on comparing outcomes from well designed trials. Currently, trials report different outcomes, making synthesis of evidence difficult. To address this, the aim of this study was to develop a core outcome set (COS)—a standardized group of outcomes important to key international stakeholders—that should be reported by future trials in this field. Methods Stage 1 of the study involved identifying potentially important outcomes from previous trials and a series of patient interviews. Stage 2 involved patients and healthcare professionals prioritizing outcomes using a multilanguage international Delphi survey that informed an international consensus meeting at which the COS was finalized. Results Some 498 outcomes were identified from previously reported trials and patient interviews, and rationalized into 56 items presented in the Delphi survey. A total of 952 patients, surgeons, and nurses enrolled in round 1 of the survey, and 662 (70 per cent) completed round 2. Following the consensus meeting, eight outcomes were included in the COS: disease-free survival, disease-specific survival, surgery-related death, recurrence, completeness of tumour removal, overall quality of life, nutritional effects, and ‘serious’ adverse events. Conclusion A COS for surgical trials in gastric cancer has been developed with international patients and healthcare professionals. This is a minimum set of outcomes that is recommended to be used in all future trials in this field to improve trial design and synthesis of evidence.

Abstract

High levels of LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) represent a causal factor for cardiovascular diseases on an atherosclerotic basis, with a direct correlation between these and mortality or cardiovascular events, such that the reduction of both is associated proportionally and linearly with the reduction of LDL-C.Statins and ezetimibe are used for LDL-C lowering but may not be sufficient to achieve the targets defined by the ESC/EAS guidelines, which recommend use of PCSK9 inhibitors for further LDL-C reduction in patients not at goal.This project submitted 86 clinical scenarios to a group of experts, cardiologists, internists and lipidologists, collecting their opinion on the appropriateness of different behaviors and decisions. We used the RAND/UCLA method of assessing the appropriateness of clinical interventions, validated to combine the best scientific evidence available with expert judgment. To this end, the benefit-risk ratio was evaluated in the proposed clinical scenarios. Each indication was classified as "appropriate", "uncertain" or "inappropriate" based on the average score given by the participants.This document presents the results of a consensus process that led to the development of recommendations for the management of clinical scenarios on the treatment of patients with dyslipidemia, which cannot always be solved with scientific evidence alone.

Abstract

Background: Vascular structural (intima-media thickness) and functional (carotid pulse wave velocity, cPWV) alterations are related to different patterns of left ventricular (LV) geometry in general population samples and in hypertensive patients. The relationship between vascular damage, evaluated by both echotracking ultrasound and coronary angiography, and LV geometry has not been prospectively analyzed.Methods: In eight Italian centers, 399 consecutive patients, without history of prior coronary artery disease and with clinical indication to coronary angiography, prospectively underwent cardiac standard ultrasound examination for the evaluation of LV mass, indexed by height to 2.7 power (LVMi g/m(2.7)) and relative wall thickness (RWT), the measurement of Doppler flow in the left anterior descending artery (LAD) and the echocardiographic calcium score (eCS). In all patients measurement of common carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) and cPWV by carotid ultrasound, with the realtime echotracking system was performed. The noninvasive evaluations were performed blindly to clinical information, before coronary angiography.Results: cIMT and cPWV were higher in patients with concentric LV hypertrophy (LVH) (LVMi >= 49 g/m(2.7) in men and >= 47 g/m(2.7) in women and RWT >= 0.42) as compared with those with normal LVMi and geometry (N: LVMi < 49 g/m(2.7) in men and < 47 g/m(2.7) in women and RWT < 0.42) and to those with concentric remodeling (normal LVMi and RWT >= 0.42). Distal LAD velocity and eCS were greater in patients with concentric LVH than in others groups. At coronary angiography the prevalence of coronary stenosis (>50%) was greater in patients with concentric LVH and concentric remodeling, as compared with N. Patients with both concentric LVH and concentric remodeling showed higher values of cIMT and cPWV and distal LAD velocity and a greater prevalence of coronary stenosis (>50%) than patients with RWT less than 0.42.Conclusion

Abstract

Background: Although sex differences in cardiovascular diseases are recognised, including differences in incidence, clinical presentation, response to treatments, and outcomes, most of the practice guidelines are not sex-specific. Heart failure (HF) is a major public health challenge, with high health care expenditures, high prevalence, and poor clinical outcomes. The objective was to analyse the sex-specific association of socio-demographics, life-style factors and health characteristics with the prevalence of HF and diastolic left ventricular dysfunction (DLVD) in a cross-sectional population-based study.Methods: A random sample of 2001 65-84 year-olds underwent physical examination, laboratory measurements, including N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), electrocardiography, and echocardiography. We selected the subjects with no missing values in covariates and echocardiographic parameters and performed a complete case analysis. Sex-specific multivariable logistic regression models were used to identify the factors associated with the prevalence of the diseases, multinomial logistic regression was used to investigate the factors associated to asymptomatic and symptomatic LVD, and spline curves to display the relationship between the conditions and both age and NT-proBNP.Results: In 857 men included, there were 66 cases of HF and 408 cases of DLVD (77% not reporting symptoms). In 819 women, there were 51 cases of HF and 382 of DLVD (79% not reporting symptoms). In men, the factors associated with prevalence of HF were age, ischemic heart disease (IHD), and suffering from three or more comorbid conditions. In women, the factors associated with HF were age, lifestyles (smoking and alcohol), BMI, hypertension, and atrial fibrillation. Age and diabetes were associated to asymptomatic DLVD in both genders. NT-proBNP levels were more strongly associated with HF in men than in women.Conclusions: There were sex differences in the factors associated with HF. The results suggest that prevention policies should consider the sex-specific impact on cardiac function of modifiable cardiovascular risk factors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Left ventricular dysfunction (LVD) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) (DYDA) study is a prospective investigation enrolling 960 with DM without overt cardiac disease. At baseline, a high prevalence of LVD was detected by analysing midwall shortening. We report here the incidence of clinical events in DYDA patients after 2-year follow-up and the frequency of LVD detected at baseline and 2-year evaluation. METHODS: Systolic LVD was defined as midwall shortening ≤15%, diastolic LVD as any condition different from "normal diastolic function" identified as E/A ratio on Doppler mitral flow between 0.75 and 1.5 and deceleration time of E wave >140 ms. Major outcome was a composite of major events, including all-causes death and hospital admissions. RESULTS: During the study period, any systolic/diastolic LVD was found in 616 of 699 patients (88.1%) in whom LVD function could be measured at baseline or at 2 years. Older age and high HbA1c predicted the occurrence of LVD. During the follow-up 15 patients died (1.6%), 3 for cardiovascular causes, 139 were hospitalized (14.5%, 43 of them for cardiovascular causes, 20 for a new cancer). CONCLUSIONS: During a 2-year follow-up any LVD is detectable in a large majority of patients with DM without overt cardiac disease. Older age and higher HbA1c predict LVD. All-cause death or hospitalization occurred in 15% of patients, cardiovascular cause was uncommon. Independent predictors of events were older age, pathologic lipid profile, high HbA1c, claudicatio and repaglinide therapy. Echo-assessed LVD at baseline was not prognosticator of events.

Abstract

Background— Moderate, regular alcohol consumption is generally associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular events but data in patients with chronic heart failure are scarce. We evaluated the relations between wine consumption, health status, circulating biomarkers, and clinical outcomes in a large Italian population of patients with chronic heart failure enrolled in a multicenter clinical trial. Methods and Results— A brief questionnaire on dietary habits was administered at baseline to 6973 patients enrolled in the Gruppo Italiano per lo Studio della Sopravvivenza nell’Insufficienza Cardiaca-Heart Failure (GISSI-HF) trial. The relations between wine consumption, fatal and nonfatal clinical end points, quality of life, symptoms of depression, and circulating biomarkers of cardiac function and inflammation (in subsets of patients) were evaluated with simple and multivariable-adjusted statistical models. Almost 56% of the patients reported drinking at least 1 glass of wine per day. After adjustment, clinical outcomes were not significantly different in the predefined 4 groups of wine consumption. However, patients with more frequent wine consumption had a significantly better perception of health status (Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire score, adjusted P P =0.01), and lower plasma levels of biomarkers of vascular inflammation (osteoprotegerin and C-terminal proendothelin-1, adjusted P P =0.01) after adjusting for possible confounders. Conclusions— We show for the first time in a large cohort of patients with chronic heart failure that moderate wine consumption is associated with a better perceived and objective health status, lower prevalence of depression, and less vascular inflammation, but does not translate into more favorable clinical 4-year outcomes.

Abstract

Individuals with diabetes mellitus (DM) have a higher risk to develop heart failure. Clinical guidelines emphasize the importance of early diagnosis of left ventricular dysfunction (LVD) and preventive interventions in these patients. In this study we assessed the prevalence of LVD, systolic or diastolic, in DM patients without known cardiac disease recruited in the 'left ventricular DYsfunction in DiAbetes (DYDA)' study. DESIGN AND METHODS: We performed clinical, ECG, laboratory, and echocardiographic exams in 960 patients (61 ± 8 years, 59% hypertensive) recruited in the DYDA study from 37 Italian diabetes referral centres. ECG and echo exams were read in central facilities. Systolic LVD was defined as ejection fraction ≤ 50% or midwall shortening (MFS) ≤ 15%. Diastolic LVD was identified when transmitral E/A was out of the range of 0.75-1.5 or deceleration time of mitral E wave ≤ 140 msec. RESULTS: Echocardiographic data were obtained in 751 patients (78.2%). Isolated systolic LVD was detected in 22.0% of patients, isolated diastolic LVD in 21.5%, and combined systolic and diastolic LVD in 12.7%. All patients with systolic LVD had MFS ≤ 15%, while only 9% had an ejection fraction ≤ 50%. Higher LV mass, relative wall thickness, prevalence of concentric geometry, and LV hypertrophy characterized the patients with LVD. CONCLUSIONS: LVD is present in more than half of DM patients without clinically detectable cardiac disease and is associated with LV hypertrophy and concentric LV geometry. One-third of patients exhibits systolic LVD detectable at the midwall level.

Abstract

Aims According to recent data, more accurate selection of patients undergoing coronary angiography for suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) is needed. From the Active PREvention Study multicentre prospective study, we further analyse whether carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT), carotid plaques (cPL), and echocardiographic cardiac calcium score (eCS) have incremental discriminatory and reclassification predictive value for CAD over clinical risk score in subjects undergoing coronary angiography, specifically depending on their low, intermediate, or high class of clinical risk. Methods and results In eight centres, 445 subjects without history of prior CAD but with chest pain of recent onset and/or a positive/inconclusive stress test for ischaemia prospectively underwent clinically indicated elective coronary angiography after cardiac and carotid ultrasound assessments with measurements of cIMT, cPL, and eCS. The study population was divided into subjects at low (10%), intermediate (10-20%), and high (.20%) Framingham risk score (FRS). Ultrasound parameters were tested for their incremental value to predict CAD over FRS, in each pre-test risk category. No significant difference could be appreciated between the discrimination value of FRS and Diagnostic Imaging for Coronary Artery Disease score for the presence of CAD. eCS or cPL demonstrated significant incremental prediction over FRS, consistently in the three FRS categories (P , 0.01); this applied to both discrimination and reclassification, with the exception of high-risk subjects, in whom cPL was apparently not incremental over FRS, and eCS was only of borderline significance for better discrimination. Conclusions Ultrasound eCS and cPL assessments were significant predictors of angiographic CAD in patients without prior CAD but with signs or symptoms suspect for CAD, independently and incrementally to FRS, across all pre-test risk probability strata, although in high-risk subjects, only eCS maintained an in

Abstract

An inappropriately high left ventricular mass (iLVM) may be detected in patients with diabetes mellitus. Several hemodynamic and nonhemodynamic factors stimulating LVM growth may actively operate in these patients. In this study, we assessed prevalence and factors associated with iLVM in patients with diabetes mellitus. METHODS: We analyzed baseline data from 708 patients (61 ± 7 years, 57% treated for hypertension) with type 2 diabetes mellitus without evidence of cardiac disease enrolled in the left ventricular dysfunction in diabetes study. iLVM was diagnosed by Doppler echocardiography as LVM more than 28% of the expected LVM predicted from height, sex and stroke work. RESULTS: iLVM was detected in 166 patients (23%), irrespective of concomitant hypertension. Patients with iLVM were more frequently women, had higher BMI and prevalence of metabolic syndrome, higher serum triglyceride levels and were treated more frequently with metformin and diuretics. In a multivariate model, female sex [odds ratio (OR) 1.502 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.010-2.231), P = 0.04], higher serum triglyceride levels [OR 1.007 (95% CI 1.003-1.012), P

Abstract

Better knowledge of prevalence and early-stage determinants of subclinical left ventricular dysfunction (LVD) in type 2 diabetes would be useful to design prevention strategies. The objective of the LVD in Diabetes (DYDA) study was to assess these points in patients without established cardiac disease. METHOD: Baseline clinical, ECG, laboratory and echocardiographic data from 751 patients (61 ± 7 years, 59% hypertensive) recruited by 37 Italian diabetes clinics were analysed. Clinical history, life habits, laboratory data (NT-proBNP, HsCRP, HbA1c, serum glucose, lipids and creatinine, liver enzymes, microalbuminuria, glomerular filtrate) and data on microvascular complications and drug therapy were collected. RESULTS: LVD was present in 59.9% of patients. Age (OR 1.05, 95% CI [1.02-1.07]), HbA1c (OR 1.27, 95% CI [1.09-1.49]), triglycerides (OR 1.003, 95% CI [1.001-1.006]), treatment with metformin (OR 1.62, 95% CI [1.09-2.40]) and doxazosine (OR 2.48, 95% CI [1.10-5.55]) were independent predictors of LVD. Glitazones were associated with reduced risk of diastolic dysfunction (OR 0.44, 95% CI [0.22-0.87]) whereas waist circumference and metformin were adversely associated with systolic dysfunction (OR 1.02, 95% CI [1.01-1.04] and 1.57, 95% CI [1.01-2.43], respectively). CONCLUSION: In asymptomatic and fairly controlled diabetic patients, age, worse HbA1c, traits of insulin resistance, such as visceral adiposity and triglycerides or treatment with metformin, and use of doxazosin indicate greater risk of LVD. Glitazones, at this stage, seem to be associated with better diastolic performance.

Abstract

The hypothesis that a therapeutic strategy aimed at lowering systolic blood pressure (SBP) below 130 mm Hg is superior to a conventional strategy targeted at below 140 mm Hg in hypertensive subjects has never been tested in randomized intervention studies. The Studio Italiano Sugli Effetti Cardiovascolari del Controllo della Pressione Arteriosa Sistolica (Cardio-Sis) is a multi-centre study in non-diabetic, treated hypertensive subjects aged >55 years with uncontrolled SBP (>or=150 mm Hg) and at least one additional cardiovascular risk factor (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT00421863). Subjects are randomized to an SBP goal

Abstract

Objective: Cardiovascular risk prediction is deemed fundamental and the assessment of organ damage is emerging as a potentially 'downstream' picture of individual risk. Our aim was to assess the feasibility and value of prediction of coronaropathy [coronary artery disease (CAD)] of integrated cardiovascular ultrasound examination. Methods: This multicenter study involved eight cardiology centers that enrolled 457 consecutive patients. Blood pressures, carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT), carotid pulse wave velocity (cPWV), semiquantitative score of cardiac calcifications, global myocardial longitudinal strain (GLS), and rest Doppler flow velocity on the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery were measured. After coronary angiography, patients were divided in CAD, n = 273, at least one coronary stenosis higher than 50%, and no CAD, n = 184. Results: CAD were older (65.9 ± 10.7 versus 63.1 ± 11.2 years, mean ± standard deviation, P = 0.01), and had higher blood pressure (137.0 ± 18.8/77.5 ± 11.1 versus 130.2 ± 17.4/75.1 ± 9.7 mmHg, P < 0.02), cIMT (791.4 ± 165.5 versus 712.0 ± 141.5 mcm, P < 0.0001), cPWV (median: 9 versus 8.1 m/s, P < 0.01), score of calcium (median, 2 versus 1, P < 0.0001), LAD velocity (median, 38 versus 36, P < 0.07), and lower GLS (-17.6 ± 4.3 versus -19.3 ± 5.1, P < 0.05) than no CAD. Score of calcium was feasible in the totality of patients, cIMT in 97%, cPWV in 86%, GLS in 88%, and LAD in 84%. A combination of at least three variables was measurable in 80% of the patients. All ultrasound parameters significantly predicted CAD. However, in a stepwise logistic regression, the only combined predictors of obstructive CAD were score of calcium, cIMT, and LAD velocity. Conclusion: In Echo-Lab, Rome, Italy, the integrated cardiovascular ultrasound study is feasible in a high percentage of patients. The combination of three parameters, that is, score of calcium, cIMT, and LAD velocity, has incremental predictive value for obstructive CAD.

Abstract

The level to which systolic blood pressure should be controlled in hypertensive patients without diabetes remains unknown. We tested the hypothesis that tight control compared with usual control of systolic blood pressure would be beneficial in such patients.In this randomised open-label trial undertaken in 44 centres in Italy, 1111 non-diabetic patients with systolic blood pressure 150 mm Hg or greater were randomly assigned to a target systolic blood pressure of less than 140 mm Hg (usual control; n=553) or less than 130 mm Hg (tight control; n=558). After stratification by centre, we used a computerised random function to allocate patients to either group. Observers who were unaware of randomisation read electrocardiograms and adjudicated events. Open-label agents were used to reach the randomised targets. The primary endpoint was the rate of electrocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy 2 years after randomisation. Analysis was by intention to treat. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT00421863.Over a median follow-up of 2.0 years (IQR 1.93-2.03), systolic and diastolic blood pressure were reduced by a mean of 23.5/8.9 mm Hg (SD 10.6/7.0) in the usual-control group and by 27.3/10.4 mm Hg (11.0/7.5) in the tight-control group (between-group difference 3.8 mm Hg systolic [95% CI 2.4-5.2], p0.0001; and 1.5 mm Hg diastolic [0.6-2.4]; p=0.041). The primary endpoint occurred in 82 of 483 patients (17.0%) in the usual-control group and in 55 of 484 patients (11.4%) of the tight-control group (odds ratio 0.63; 95% CI 0.43-0.91; p=0.013). A composite cardiovascular endpoint occurred in 52 (9.4%) patients in the usual-control group and in 27 (4.8%) in the tight-control group (hazard ratio 0.50, 95% CI 0.31-0.79; p=0.003). Side-effects were rare and did not differ significantly between the two groups.Our findings lend support to a lower blood pressure goal than is recommended at present in non-diabetic patients with hypertension.Boehringer-Ingelheim, Sanofi-Aventis, Pfizer.

Abstract

Aims To test whether canrenone, an aldosterone receptor antagonist, improves left ventricular (LV) remodelling in NYHA class II heart failure (HF). Aldosterone receptor antagonists improve outcome in severe HF, but no information is available in NYHA class II. Methods and results AREA IN-CHF is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study testing canrenone on top of optimal treatment in NYHA class II HF with low ejection fraction (EF) to assess 12-month changes in LV end-diastolic volume (LVEDV). Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) was also measured. Information was available for 188 subjects on canrenone and 194 on placebo. Left ventricular end-diastolic volume was similarly reduced (−18%) in both arms, but EF increased more (P = 0.04) in the canrenone (from 40% to 45%) than in the placebo arm (from 40–43%). Brain natriuretic peptide (n = 331) decreased more in the canrenone (−37%) than in the placebo arm (−8%; P < 0.0001), paralleling a significant reduction in left atrial dimensions (−4% vs. 0.2%; P = 0.02). The composite endpoint of cardiac death and hospitalization was significantly lower in the canrenone arm (8% vs. 15%; P = 0.02). Conclusion Canrenone on top of optimal treatment for HF did not have additional effects on LVEDV, but it increased EF, and reduced left atrial size and circulating BNP, with potential beneficial effects on outcome. A large-scale randomized study should be implemented to confirm benefits on cardiovascular outcomes in patients with HF in NYHA class II.
