    Abstract:
    Objective: Myocardial infarction (MI) with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) is a relatively new term that is characterized by clinical evidence of MI with normal or near-normal coronary arteries on coronary angiography. The aim of this was to document the prevalence and demographics of MINOCA in an Indian population. Methods: It is a single center study. All consecutive patients who were ≥18 years old, diagnosed with MI according to the Third Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction, and had undergone coronary angiography were included in the study. Patients with stable coronary artery disease, unstable angina pectoris, a history of revascularization, and type 4/5 MI were excluded. Results: A total of 548 patients who were diagnosed with MI and had undergone coronary angiography were enrolled. The prevalence of MINOCA was 6.2% in the overall study population. Compared with non-MINOCA patients, those with MINOCA were younger, had a higher prevalence of the female gender, and had a history of COVID 19 infection. Also, the median left ventricular ejection fraction as seen on echocardiography and the ratio of Killip Class I status at presentation was significantly higher in MINOCA patients than in non-MINOCA patients (p<0.001).

    We investigated the predictors of the recovery of depressed left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients with moderate or severe left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction after acute myocardial infarction (MI).We analyzed 1307 patients, who had moderately or severely depressed LVEF (<45%) on echocardiography soon after acute MI and who underwent a follow-up echocardiography, among 27369 patients from the Korea Working Group on the Myocardial Infarction Registry. Patients were categorized into two groups according to recovery of LVEF: group I with consistently depressed LVEF (<45%) at the follow-up echocardiography and group II with a recovery of LVEF (≥45%).Recovery of LV systolic dysfunction was observed in 51% of the subjects (group II, n=663; ΔLVEF, 16.2±9.3%), whereas there was no recovery in the remaining subjects (group I, n=644; ΔLVEF, 0.6±7.1%). In the multivariate analysis, independent predictors of recovery of depressed LVEF were as follows {odds ratio (OR) [95% confidence interval (CI)]}: moderate systolic dysfunction {LVEF ≥30% and <45%; 1.73 (1.12-2.67)}, Killip class I-II {1.52 (1.06-2.18)}, no need for diuretics {1.59 (1.19-2.12)}, non-ST-segment elevation MI {1.55 (1.12-2.16)}, lower peak troponin I level {<24 ng/mL, median value; 1.55 (1.16-2.07)}, single-vessel disease {1.53 (1.13-2.06)}, and non-left anterior descending (LAD) culprit lesion {1.50 (1.09-2.06)}. In addition, the use of statin was independently associated with a recovery of LV systolic dysfunction {OR (95% CI), 1.46 (1.07-2.00)}.Future contractile recovery of LV systolic dysfunction following acute MI was significantly related with less severe heart failure at the time of presentation, a smaller extent of myonecrosis, or non-LAD culprit lesions rather than LAD lesions.

    Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with poor outcome after acute myocardial infarction (AMI), but whether hemodynamic status at presentation influences this prognostic significance is unknown.Methods and Results:A total of 2,798 AMI patients admitted within 48 h after symptom onset and who underwent urgent coronary angiography were enrolled in the present study. AKI was defined as an increase in serum creatinine ≥0.3 mg/dL or ≥50% within 48 h during hospitalization. Patients were classified into 3 groups according to Killip class on admission: Killip 1, n=2,164; Killip 2-3, n=366; and Killip 4, n=268. AKI occurred more frequently with increasing Killip class (Killip 1, 2-3, and 4: 6.3%, 15.3%, and 31.3%, respectively; P<0.001). AKI was associated with increased in-hospital mortality, regardless of Killip class (non-AKI and AKI patients: 1.1% vs. 6.6% in Killip 1; 5.2% vs. 35.7% in Killip 2-3, and 28.8% vs. 45.2% in Killip 4, P<0.01 for all). On multivariate analysis, the adjusted OR of AKI for in-hospital mortality in Killip 1, Killip 2-3, and Killip 4 were 3.79 (95% CI: 1.54-9.33, P=0.004), 5.35 (95% CI: 2.67-10.7, P<0.001), and 1.48 (95% CI: 0.94-2.35, P=0.093), respectively.In AMI patients undergoing urgent coronary angiography, AKI was significantly associated with increased in-hospital mortality in Killip 1 as well as Killip 2-3 at presentation, but not in Killip 4.

    ContextIn acute myocardial infarction, the presence and severity of heart failure at the time of initial presentation have been formally categorized by the Killip classification. Although well studied in ST-elevation myocardial infarction, the prognostic importance of Killip classification in non–ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes is not well established.ObjectivesTo determine the prognostic importance of physical examination for heart failure analyzed according to Killip classification in non–ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes and to understand its predictive value relative to other variables.Design, Setting, and PatientsFrom April 2001 to September 2003, We analyzed information from 26 090 patients with non–ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes enrolled in the GUSTO IIb, PURSUIT, PARAGON A, and PARAGON B trials. Demographic information was categorized by Killip class. Killip classes III and IV were combined into 1 category. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard models were developed to determine the prognostic importance of Killip classification in comparison with other variables.Main Outcome MeasureAssociation between Killip classification and all-cause mortality at 30 days and 6 months.ResultsPatients in Killip class II (n = 2513) and III/IV (n = 390) were older than those in Killip class I (n = 23 187), with higher rates of diabetes, prior myocardial infarction, ST depression, and elevated cardiac enzymes (all P<.001). Higher Killip class was associated with higher mortality at 30 days (2.8% in Killip class I vs 8.8% in class II vs 14.4% in class III/IV; P<.001) and 6 months (5.0% vs 14.7% vs 23.0%, respectively; P<.001). Patients with Killip class II, III, or IV constituted 11% of the overall population but accounted for approximately 30% of the deaths at both time points. In multivariate analysis, Killip class III/IV was the most powerful predictor of mortality at 30 days (hazard ratio [HR], 2.35; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.69-3.26; P<.001) and 6 months (HR, 2.12; 95% CI, 1.63-2.75; P<.001). Killip class II was predictive of mortality at 30 days (HR, 1.73; 95% CI, 1.44-2.09; P<.001) and 6 months (HR, 1.52; 95% CI, 1.31-1.76; P<.001). Five factors—age, Killip classification, heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and ST depression—provided more than 70% of the prognostic information for 30-day and 6-month mortality.ConclusionsKillip classification is a powerful independent predictor of all-cause mortality in patients with non–ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes. Age, Killip classification, heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and ST depression should receive particular attention in the initial assessment of these patients.

    Abstract Background Re-worsening left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) after initial recovery occurs in some patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). However, prevalence and predictors of re-worsening LVEF in longitudinal follow-up are unclear. Late gadolinium enhancement of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (LGE-CMR) can evaluate the damage of myocardial tissue. Purpose This study sought to evaluate the clinical parameters including LGE-CMR to predict re-worsening LVEF in patients with recent-onset DCM. Methods We included patients with recent-onset DCM who had an LVEF &lt;45% and underwent LGE-CMR at diagnosis. We performed yearly echocardiographc follow-up [median 6 [4–8.3] years]. Initial LVEF recovery defined as patients increased in &gt;5% LVEF from baseline and had an LVEF≥45% after medical therapy. Patients were divided into three groups: (1) Improved: defined as those with sustained LVEF ≥45% after initial LVEF recovery; (2) Re-worse: those with decreased &gt;5% and had an LVEF &lt;45% after initial LVEF recovery. and (3) Not-improved: those with no initial LVEF recovery during follow-up. To evaluate the prognostic factors for Re-worsening LVEF after initial LVEF recovery, multivariate logistic regression analysis performed between the Improved group and the Re-worse group. Cardiac events defined as hospitalization due to heart failure and sudden death. Results Of 138 patents, 82 patients (59%) were the Improved group, 42 patients (30%) were the Re-worse group, and 14 (10%) were the Not-improved group. Loess curves of long-term LVEF trajectories showed that LVEF in the Re-worse group increased first 2 years and declined slowly thereafter (Fig. 1A). Re-worsening LVEF occurred 4.5±2.2 years after initial LVEF recovery. Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that LGE area at baseline (Odds ratio: 1.09, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.02–1.18, p=0.014) and Log brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) at initial LVEF recovery (Odds ratio: 1.53, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.01–2.31, p=0.042) were independent predictors for Re-worsening LVEF. Kaplan Meier analysis demonstrated that the risk of cardiac events in the Re-worse group was significantly higher (hazard ratio: 3.93, 95% CI 1.49–10.36, p=0.006) than in the Improved group and lower risk than in the Not-improved group (hazard ratio: 0.28, 95% CI 0.12–0.62, p=0.002) (Fig. 1B). Conclusion Re-worsening LVEF occurred in 30% of patients in patients with recent-onset DCM. LGE area and BNP at initial LVEF recovery were independently associated with re-worsening LVEF after initial LVEF recovery. Figure 1 Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None

    To describe the impact of ejection fraction on the prognosis during 2 years after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).All patients in western Sweden who underwent CABG without concomitant valve surgery between June 1988 and June 1991.In all, 2121 patients were operated upon and information on ejection fraction was available for 1961 patients (92%). Of these patients, 178 (9%) had an ejection fraction < 40%, 517 (26%) an ejection fraction of 40-59% and 1266 (65%) an ejection fraction > or = 60%. In these groups the mortalities during the first 30 days after CABG were 5.1, 4.3 and 2.2%, respectively (P < 0.01). The corresponding values for mortalities between 30 days and 2 years were 7.7, 4.3 and 3.3%, respectively (P < 0.01). Patients with a lower ejection fraction were more frequently men and more frequently had a history of cardiovascular disease. In multivariate analysis the preoperative ejection fraction was an independent predictor for total 2-year mortality. Patients with a low ejection fraction died more frequently in association with ventricular fibrillation. Morbidity was, with the exception of that for rehospitalization due to heart failure and infection, not associated significantly with the preoperative ejection fraction.During the 2 years after CABG a low preoperative ejection fraction was associated with a higher mortality, but the association with morbidity was more complex.
