    A prospective study of patients with refractory angina: outcomes and the role of high-sensitivity troponin T
    (2017) POPPI, Nilson T.; GOWDAK, Luis H. W.; DOURADO, Luciana O. C.; ADAM, Eduardo L.; LEITE, Thiago N. P.; MIOTO, Bruno M.; KRIEGER, Jose E.; CESAR, Luiz A. M.; PEREIRA, Alexandre C.
    BackgroundThe predictors of cardiovascular events in patients with chronic refractory angina are limited. High-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) assays are biomarkers that may be used to determine the prognosis of patients with stable coronary artery disease. HypothesisHs-cTnT is a predictor of death and nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI) in patients with refractory angina. MethodsWe prospectively enrolled 117 consecutive patients in this study. A heart team ruled out myocardial revascularization feasibility after assessing recent coronary angiograms; evidence of myocardial ischemia served as an inclusion criterion. Optimal medical therapy was encouraged via outpatient visits every 6 months; plasma hs-cTnT levels were determined at baseline. The primary endpoint was the composite incidence of death and nonfatal MI. ResultsDuring a median follow-up period of 28.0 months (interquartile range, 18.0-47.5 months), an estimated 28.0-month cumulative event rate of 13.4% was determined via the Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate predictors of the composite endpoint were hs-cTnT levels and LV dysfunction. Following a multivariate analysis, only hs-cTnT was independently associated with the events in question, either as a continuous variable (hazard ratio per unit increase in the natural logarithm: 2.83, 95% confidence interval: 1.62-4.92, P < 0.001) or as a categorical variable (hazard ratio for concentrations above the 99th percentile: 5.14, 95% confidence interval: 2.05-12.91, P < 0.001). ConclusionsIn patients with chronic refractory angina, plasma concentration of hs-cTnT is the strongest predictor of death and nonfatal MI. Notably, none of the outcomes in question occurred in patients with baseline plasma levels <5.0 ng/L.

    OSA and Depression Are Common and Independently Associated With Refractory Angina in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease
    (2014) GEOVANINI, Glaucylara R.; GOWDAK, Luis H. W.; PEREIRA, Alexandre C.; DANZI-SOARES, Naury de Jesus; DOURADO, Luciana O. C.; POPPI, Nilson T.; CESAR, Luiz Antonio Machado; DRAGER, Luciano F.; LORENZI-FILHO, Geraldo
    OBJECTIVE: Refractory angina is a severe form of coronary artery disease (CAD) characterized by persistent angina despite optimal medical therapy. OSA and depression are common in patients with stable CAD and may contribute to a poor prognosis. We hypothesized that OSA and depression are more common and more severe in patients with refractory angina than in patients with stable CAD. METHODS: We used standardized questionnaires and full polysomnography to compare consecutive patients with well-established refractory angina vs consecutive patients with stable CAD evaluated for coronary artery bypass graft surgery. RESULTS: Patients with refractory angina (n = 70) compared with patients with stable CAD (n = 70) were similar in sex distribution (male, 61.5% vs 75.5%; P = .07) and BMI (29.5 +/- 4 kg/m(2) vs 28.5 +/- 4 kg/ m(2), P = .06), and were older (61 +/- 10 y vs 57 +/- 7 y, P = .013), respectively. Patients with refractory angina had significantly more symptoms of daytime sleepiness (Epworth Sleepiness Scale score, 12 +/- 6 vs 8 +/- 5; P < .001), had higher depression symptom scores (Beck Depression Inventory score, 19 +/- 8 vs 10 +/- 8; P < .001) despite greater use of antidepressants, had a higher apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) (AHI, 37 +/- 30 events/h vs 23 +/- 20 events/h; P = .001), higher proportion of oxygen saturation < 90% during sleep (8% + 13 vs 4% + 9, P = .04), and a higher proportion of severe OSA (AHI >= 30 events/h, 48% vs 27%; P = .009) than patients with stable CAD. OSA (P = .017), depression (P < .001), higher Epworth Sleepiness Scale score (P = .007), and lower sleep efficiency (P = .016) were independently associated with refractory angina in multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS: OSA and depression are independently associated with refractory angina and may contribute to poor cardiovascular outcome.
