- Role of Trimetazidine in Ischemic Preconditioning in Patients With Symptomatic Coronary Artery Disease(2015) COSTA, Leandro M. A.; REZENDE, Paulo C.; GARCIA, Rosa M. R.; UCHIDA, Augusto H.; SEGURO, Luis Fernando B. C.; SCUDELER, Thiago L.; BOCCHI, Edimar A.; KRIEGER, Jose E.; HUEB, Whady; RAMIRES, Jose Antonio F.; KALIL FILHO, RobertoIschemic preconditioning (IP) is a powerful cardioprotective cellular mechanism that has been related to the warm-up phenomenon or walk-through angina, and has been documented through the use of sequential exercise tests (ETs). It is known that several drugs, for example, cromokalim, pinacidil, adenosine, and nicorandil, can interfere with the cellular pathways of IP. The purpose of this article is to report the effect of the anti-ischemic agent trimetazidine (TMZ) on IP in symptomatic coronary artery disease (CAD) patients.We conducted a prospective study evaluating IP by the analysis of ischemic parameters in 2 sequential ETs. In phase I, without TMZ, patients underwent ET1 and ET2 with a 30-minute interval between them. In phase II, after 1 week of TMZ 35mg twice daily, all patients underwent 2 consecutive ETs (ET3 and ET4). IP was considered present when the time to 1.0-mm segment ST on electrocardiogram deviation (T-1.0mm) and rate pressure product (RPP) were greater in the second of 2 tests. The improvement in T-1.0mm and RPP were compared in the 2 phases: without TMZ and after 1-week TMZ to assess the action of such drug in myocardial protective mechanisms. ETs were analyzed by 2 independent cardiologists.From 135 CAD patients screened, 96 met inclusion criteria and 62 completed the study protocol. Forty patients manifested IP by demonstrating an improvement in T-1.0mm in ET2 compared with ET1, without the use of any drugs (phase I). In phase II, after 1-week TMZ, 26 patients (65%) did not show any incremental result in ischemic parameters in ET4 compared with ET3. Furthermore, of these patients, 8 (20%) had IP blockage.In this study, TMZ did not add any benefit to IP in patients with stable symptomatic CAD.
- The cost-effectiveness of strategies in coronary artery disease(2014) SCUDELER, Thiago Luis; REZENDE, Paulo Cury; HUEB, WhadyCoronary artery disease has significant social and economic implications. Health expenditures have increased in recent decades, more than the economy itself, with significant consequences, either reducing spending in other areas or increasing the budget deficit. It is necessary to create tools to identify the most cost-effective treatments, which can assist clinicians in their therapeutic decisions so that the maximum possible benefit is reached with the lowest possible cost. Efficiency must be measured by final treatment goals in which the most effective interventions are those with the lowest costs. We analyzed the cost-effectiveness of coronary artery disease treatment strategies, medical treatment, percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary artery bypass surgery, with a focus on comparative analyses between these treatment modalities.
- Comparison between off-pump and on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting in patients with severe lesions at the circumflex artery territory: 5-year follow-up of the MASS III trial(2015) MELO, Rodrigo Morel Vieira de; HUEB, Whady; REZENDE, Paulo Cury; COSTA, Leandro Menezes Alves da; OIKAWA, Fernando Teiichi Costa; LIMA, Eduardo Gomes; HUEB, Alexandre Ciappina; SCUDELER, Thiago Luis; KALIL FILHO, RobertoOBJECTIVES: The technical difficulty in the revascularization of the circumflex artery territory with off-pump surgery may compromise the outcome of this method in clinical follow-up. We aimed to evaluate cardiac events in patients with stable coronary artery disease and severe obstruction of the circumflex system, undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with or without cardiopulmonary bypass. METHODS: MASS III was a single-centre study that evaluated 308 patients with multivessel coronary artery disease randomized to on-pump (153) or off-pump (155) CABG. Of this total, 260 (84.4%) patients had, on coronary angiography, at least one 70% obstruction in the circumflex territory (141 on-pump and 119 off-pump). The combined outcome was death, myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization (angioplasty or surgery) or hospitalization for cardiac causes. Variables with possible associations (P < 0.1) were included in the multivariate analysis. RESULTS: The two groups were well matched for demographics and clinical and angiographic characteristics. After 5 years of follow-up, off-pump CABG had higher combined events than on-pump had: 25 (21%) vs 17 (12%), hazard ratio 1.88, 95% confidence interval 1.02-.48, P = 0.041. In the multivariate model with the inclusion of the following variables: age (P = 0.09) and complete revascularization (P = 0.68), off-pump surgery remained as a predictor of combined events in 5 years, P = 0.03. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with multivessel coronary artery disease and severe lesions in the circumflex territory, off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery resulted in a higher incidence of cardiac events at 5-year follow-up.
- Type 2 diabetes mellitus and myocardial ischemic preconditioning in symptomatic coronary artery disease patients(2015) REZENDE, Paulo Cury; RAHMI, Rosa Maria; UCHIDA, Augusto Hiroshi; COSTA, Leandro Menezes Alves da; SCUDELER, Thiago Luis; GARZILLO, Cibele Larrosa; LIMA, Eduardo Gomes; SEGRE, Carlos Alexandre Wainrober; GIRARDI, Priscyla; TAKIUTI, Myrthes; SILVA, Marcela Francisca; HUEB, Whady; RAMIRES, Jose Antonio Franchini; FILHO, Roberto KalilBackground: The influence of diabetes mellitus on myocardial ischemic preconditioning is not clearly defined. Experimental studies are conflicting and human studies are scarce and inconclusive. Objectives: Identify whether diabetes mellitus intervenes on ischemic preconditioning in symptomatic coronary artery disease patients. Methods: Symptomatic multivessel coronary artery disease patients with preserved systolic ventricular function and a positive exercise test underwent two sequential exercise tests to demonstrate ischemic preconditioning. Ischemic parameters were compared among patients with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus. Ischemic preconditioning was considered present when the time to 1.0 mm ST deviation and rate pressure-product were greater in the second of 2 exercise tests. Sequential exercise tests were analyzed by 2 independent cardiologists. Results: Of the 2,140 consecutive coronary artery disease patients screened, 361 met inclusion criteria, and 174 patients (64.2 +/- 7.6 years) completed the study protocol. Of these, 86 had the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. Among diabetic patients, 62 (72%) manifested an improvement in ischemic parameters consistent with ischemic preconditioning, whereas among nondiabetic patients, 60 (68%) manifested ischemic preconditioning (p = 0.62). The analysis of patients who demonstrated ischemic preconditioning showed similar improvement in the time to 1.0 mm ST deviation between diabetic and nondiabetic groups (79.4 +/- 47.6 vs 65.5 +/- 36.4 s, respectively, p = 0.12). Regarding rate pressure-product, the improvement was greater in diabetic compared to nondiabetic patients (3011 +/- 2430 vs 2081 +/- 2139 bpm x mmHg, respectively, p = 0.01). Conclusions: In this study, diabetes mellitus was not associated with impairment in ischemic preconditioning in symptomatic coronary artery disease patients. Furthermore, diabetic patients experienced an improvement in this significant mechanism of myocardial protection.

Once started, it can reduce the severity of myocardial ischemia associated with some clinical situations, such as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and intermittent aortic clamping during coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). Although the mechanisms underlying IP have not been completely elucidated, several studies have shown that this phenomenon involves the participation of cell triggers, intracellular signaling pathways, and end-effectors. Understanding this mechanism enables the development of preconditioning mimetic agents. It is known that a range of medications that activate the signaling cascades at different cellular levels can interfere with both the stimulation and the blockade of IP. Investigations of signaling pathways underlying ischemic conditioning have identified a number of therapeutic targets for pharmacological manipulation. This review aims to present and discuss the effects of several medications on myocardial IP.
- Coronary atherosclerotic burden assessed by SYNTAX scores and outcomes in surgical, percutaneous or medical strategies: a retrospective cohort study(2022) SCUDELER, Thiago Luis; FARKOUH, Michael E.; HUEB, Whady; REZENDE, Paulo C.; CAMPOLINA, Alessandro G.; MARTINS, Eduardo Bello; GODOY, Lucas C.; SOARES, Paulo Rogerio; RAMIRES, Jose A. F.; FILHO, Roberto KalilIntroduction Coronary atherosclerotic burden and SYNTAX Score (SS) are predictors of cardiovascular events. Objectives To investigate the value of SYNTAX scores (SS, SYNTAX Score II (SSII) and residual SYNTAX Score (rSS)) for predicting cardiovascular events in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Design Retrospective cohort study. Setting Single tertiary centre. Participants Medicine, Angioplasty or Surgery Study database patients with stable multivessel CAD and preserved ejection fraction. Interventions Patients with CAD undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or medical treatment (MT) alone from January 2002 to December 2015. Primary and secondary outcomes Primary: 5-year allcause mortality. Secondary: composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, stroke and subsequent coronary revascularisation at 5 years. Results A total of 1719 patients underwent PCI (n=573), CABG (n=572) or MT (n=574) alone. The SS was not considered an independent predictor of 5-year mortality in the PCI (low, intermediate and high SS at 6.5%, 6.8% and 4.3%, respectively, p=0.745), CABG (low, intermediate and high SS at 5.7%, 8.0% and 12.1%, respectively, p=0.194) and MT (low, intermediate and high SS at 6.8%, 6.9% and 6.5%, respectively, p=0.993) cohorts. The SSII (low, intermediate and high SSII at 3.6% vs 7.9% vs 10.5%, respectively, p<0.001) was associated with a higher mortality risk in the overall population. Within each treatment strategy, SSII was associated with a significant 5-year mortality rate, especially in CABG patients with higher SSII (low, intermediate and high SSII at 1.8%, 9.7% and 10.0%, respectively, p=0.004) and in MT patients with high SSII (low, intermediate and high SSII at 5.0%, 4.7% and 10.8%, respectively, p=0.031). SSII demonstrated a better predictive accuracy for mortality compared with SS and rSS (c-index=0.62). Conclusions Coronary atherosclerotic burden alone was not associated with significantly increased risk of all-cause mortality. The SSII better discriminates the risk of death.
