- Myocardial injury in diabetic patients with multivessel coronary artery disease after revascularization interventions(2017) REZENDE, Paulo Cury; HUEB, Whady; RAHMI, Rosa Maria; SCUDELER, Thiago Luis; AZEVEDO, Diogo Freitas Cardoso de; GARZILLO, Cibele Larrosa; SEGRE, Carlos Alexandre Wainrober; RAMIRES, Jose Antonio Franchini; KALIL FILHO, RobertoBackground: Diabetic patients may be more susceptible to myocardial injury after coronary interventions. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess the release of cardiac biomarkers, CK-MB and troponin, and the findings of new late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus after elective revascularization procedures for multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods: Patients with multivessel CAD and preserved systolic ventricular function underwent either elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), off-pump or on-pump bypass surgery (CABG). Troponin and CK-MB were systematically collected at baseline, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 72 h after the procedures. CMR with LGE was performed before and after the interventions. Patients were stratified according to diabetes status at study entry. Biomarkers and CMR results were compared between diabetic and nondiabetics patients. Analyses of correlation were also performed among glycemic and glycated hemoglobin (A1c) levels and troponin and CK-MB peak levels. Patients were also stratified into tertiles of fasting glycemia and A1c levels and were compared in terms of periprocedural myocardial infarction (PMI) on CMR. Results: Ninety (44.5%) of the 202 patients had diabetes mellitus at study entry. After interventions, median peak troponin was 2.18 (0.47, 5.14) and 2.24 (0.69, 5.42) ng/mL (P = 0.81), and median peak CK-MB was 14.1 (6.8, 31.7) and 14.0 (4.2, 29.8) ng/mL (P = 0.43), in diabetic and nondiabetic patients, respectively. The release of troponin and CK-MB over time was statistically similar in both groups and in the three treatments, besides PCI. New LGE on CMR indicated that new myocardial fibrosis was present in 18.9 and 17.3% (P = 0.91), and myocardial edema in 15.5 and 22.9% (P = 0.39) in diabetic and nondiabetic patients, respectively. The incidence of PMI in the glycemia tertiles was 17.9% versus 19.3% versus 18.7% (P = 0.98), and in the A1c tertiles was 19.1% versus 13.3% versus 22.2% (P = 0.88). Conclusions: In this study, diabetes mellitus did not add risk of myocardial injury after revascularization interventions in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease.
- Chronic troponin elevation assessed by myocardial T1 mapping in patients with stable coronary artery disease(2023) SEGRE, Carlos Alexandre W.; LEMOS, James A. de; ASSUNCAO, Antonildes Nascimento; NOMURA, Cesar Higa; FAVARATO, Desiderio; STRUNZ, Celia Maria Cassaro; VILLA, Alexandre Volney; PARGA FILHO, Jose Rodrigues; REZENDE, Paulo Cury; HUEB, Whady; RAMIRES, Jose Antonio Franchini; KALIL FILHO, Roberto; SERRANO, Carlos VicenteBackground:Cardiac troponin detected with sensitive assays can be chronically elevated, in the absence of unstable coronary syndromes. In patients with chronic coronary artery disease, clinically silent ischemic episodes may cause chronic troponin release. T1 mapping is a cardiovascular magnetic resonance technique useful in quantitative cardiac tissue characterization. We selected patients with anatomically and functionally normal hearts to investigate associations between chronic troponin release and myocardial tissue characteristics assessed by T1 mapping. Methods:We investigated the relationship between cardiac troponin I concentrations and cardiovascular magnetic resonance T1 mapping parameters in patients with stable coronary artery disease enrolled in MASS V study before elective revascularization. Participants had no previous myocardial infarction, negative late gadolinium enhancement, normal left ventricular function, chamber dimensions and wall thickness. Results:A total of 56 patients were analyzed in troponin tertiles: nativeT1 and extracellular volume (ECV) values (expressed as means +/- standard deviations) increased across tertiles: nativeT1 (1006 +/- 27 ms vs 1016 +/- 27 ms vs 1034 +/- 37 ms, ptrend = 0.006) and ECV (22 +/- 3% vs 23 +/- 1.9% vs 25 +/- 3%, ptrend = 0.007). Cardiac troponin I concentrations correlated with native T1(R = 0.33, P = .012) and ECV (R = 0.3, P = .025), and were independently associated with nativeT1 (P = .049) and ventricular mass index (P = .041) in multivariable analysis. Conclusion:In patients with chronic coronary artery disease and structurally normal hearts, troponin I concentrations correlated with T1 mapping parameters, suggesting that diffuse edema or fibrosis scattered in normal myocardium might be associated with chronic troponin release.
conferenceObject CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFT SURGERY OUTCOMES IN PATIENTS WITH AND WITHOUTCOVID-19 DURING THE PANDEMIC FIRST WAVE(2023) MATUCK, Bruna Scarpa; PINESI, Henrique; MARTINS, Eduardo; GARZILLO, Cibele Larrosa; LOTTENBERG, Marcos Pita; LIMA, Joao A. C.; SEGRE, Alexandre; FAVARATO, Desiderio; LIMA, Eduardo Gomes; RACHED, Fabiana Hanna; PITTA, Fabio Grunspun; LISBOA, Luiz Augusto; JATENE, Fabio Biscegli; KALIL-FILHO, Roberto; SERRANO JR., Carlos V.- Two-Year Follow-Up of Chronic Ischemic Heart Disease Patients in a Specialized Center in Brazil(2023) MOREIRA, Eduardo Martelli; PINESI, Henrique Trombini; MARTINS, Eduardo Bello; PITTA, Fabio Grunspun; BOLTA, Paula Mathias Paulino; SEGRE, Carlos Alexandre Wainrober; FAVARATO, Desiderio; RACHED, Fabiana Hanna; HUEB, Whady Armindo; LIMA, Eduardo Gomes; FILHO, Roberto Kalil; GARZILLO, Cibele Larrosa; JR, Carlos Vicente SerranoBackground: The incidence of cardiovascular events in patients with chronic ischemic heart disease (CIHD) may vary significantly among countries. Although populous, Brazil is often underrepresented in international records.Objectives: This study aimed to describe the quality of care and the two-year incidence of cardiovascular events and associated prognostic factors in CIHD patients in a tertiary public health care center in Brazil.Methods: Patients with CIHD who reported for clinical evaluation at Instituto do Coracao (Sao Paulo, Brazil) were registered and followed for two years. The primary endpoint was a composite of myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, or death. A significance level of 0.05 was adopted.Results: From January 2016 to December 2018, 625 participants were included in the study. Baseline characteristics show that 33.1% were women, median age 66.1 [59.6 - 71.9], 48.6% had diabetes, 83.1% had hypertension, 62.6% had previous MI, and 70.4% went through some revascularization procedure. At a median follow-up (FU) of 881 days, we noted 37 (7.05%) primary endpoints. After adjustments, age, previous stroke, and LDL-cholesterol were independently associated with the primary endpoint. Comparing baseline versus FU, participants experienced relief of angina based on the Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) scale according to the following percentages: 65.7% vs. 81.7% were asymptomatic and 4.2% vs. 2.9% CCS 3 or 4 (p < 0.001). They also experienced better quality of medication prescription: 65.8% vs. 73.6% (p < 0.001). However, there was no improvement in LDL-cholesterol or blood pressure control. Conclusion: This study shows that CIHD patients had a two-year incidence of the primary composite endpoint of 7.05%, and the reduction of LDL-cholesterol was the only modifiable risk factor associated with prognosis.
- Resolution of coronary arteritis following tuberculosis treatment(2022) BARRETO-NETO, Nestor; SEGRE, Alexandre W.; GUEDES, Lissiane K. N.; SEGURO, Luciana P. C.; PEREIRA, Rosa M. R.Background: Coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) in an uncommon condition usually associated with atherosclerosis, but systemic vasculitides constitute important differential diagnoses. A less recognized cause of CAA, tuberculosis (TB) has also been noted to occur simultaneously in patients with such vascular abnormalities. Case report: A 60-year-old female presented to the Emergency Department with a non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction. Angiography demonstrated segmental aneurysms of the left anterior descending coronary artery. Shortly after, she was also diagnosed with cutaneous TB, and treatment was promptly initiated. Reevaluation conducted several months later demonstrated that levels of inflammation markers had significantly decreased. New catheterization of coronary arteries evidenced complete resolution of coronary aneurysm images. Conclusion: Due to the clinical and radiologic resolution with only TB treatment, as well as lack of evidence supporting atherosclerotic or vasculitic etiologies, TB can be considered a possible contributor to aneurysm formation in this case. Prospective studies are necessary to reliably demonstrate causality between TB infection and CAA.
