- 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.
- 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.
conferenceObject The Release of Cardiac Necrosis Biomarkers in Patients Without Myocardial Infarction After On-Pump Surgical Revascularization. A Study of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging(2016) OIKAWA, Fernando T.; HUEB, Whady; COSTA, Leandro M.; MELO, Rodrigo M. Vieira de; REZENDE, Paulo C.; GARZILLO, Cibele L.; LIMA, Eduardo G.; NOMURA, Cesar H.; VILLA, Alexandre V.; HUEB, Alexandre C.; RAMIRES, Jose A.; KALIL FILHO, Roberto- Accuracy of Myocardial Biomarkers in the Diagnosis of Myocardial Infarction After Revascularization as Assessed by Cardiac Resonance: The Medicine, Angioplasty, Surgery Study V (MASS-V) Trial(2016) HUEB, Whady; GERSH, Bernard J.; COSTA, Leandro Menezes Alves da; OIKAWA, Fernando Teiichi Costa; MELO, Rodrigo Morel Vieira de; REZENDE, Paulo Cury; GARZILLO, Cibele Larrosa; LIMA, Eduardo Gomes; NOMURA, Cesar Higa; VILLA, Alexandre Volney; HUEB, Alexandre Ciappina; STRUNZ, Celia Maria Cassaro; FAVARATO, Desiderio; TAKIUTI, Myrthes Emy; ALBUQUERQUE, Cicero Piva de; SILVA, Expedito Eustaquio Ribeiro da; RAMIRES, Jose Antonio Franchini; KALIL FILHO, RobertoBackground. The lack of a correlation between myocardial necrosis biomarkers and electrocardiographic abnormalities after revascularization procedures has resulted in a change in the myocardial infarction (MI) definition. Methods. Patients with stable multivessel disease who underwent percutaneous or surgical revascularization were included. Electrocardiograms and concentrations of high-sensitive cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and creatine kinase (CK)-MB were assessed before and after procedures. Cardiac magnetic resonance and late gadolinium enhancement were performed before and after procedures. MI was defined as more than five times the 99th percentile upper reference limit for cTnI and 10 times for CK-MB in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), respectively, and new late gadolinium enhancement for cardiac magnetic resonance. Results. Of the 202 patients studied, 69 (34.1%) underwent on-pump CABG, 67 (33.2%) off-pump CABG, and 66 (32.7%) PCI. The receiver operating characteristic curve showed the accuracy of cTnI for on-pump CABG, off-pump CABG, and PCI patients was 21.7%, 28.3%, and 52.4% and for CK-MB was 72.5%, 81.2%, and 90.5%, respectively. The specificity of cTnI was 3.6%, 9.4%, and 42.1% and of CK-MB was 73.2%, 86.8%, and 96.4%, respectively. Sensitivity of cTnI was 100%, 100%, and 100% and of CK-MB was 69.2%, 64.3%, and 44.4%, respectively. The best cutoff of cTnI for on-pump CABG, off-pump CABG, and PCI was 6.5 ng/mL, 4.5 ng/mL, and 4.5 ng/mL (162.5, 112.5, and 112.5 times the 99th percentile upper reference limit) and of CK-MB was 37.5 ng/mL, 22.5 ng/mL, and 11.5 ng/mL (8.5, 5.1, and 2.6 times the 99th percentile upper reference limit), respectively. Conclusions. Compared with cardiac magnetic resonance, CK-MB was more accurate than cTnI for diagnosing MI. These data suggest a higher troponin cutoff for the diagnosis of procedure-related MI.

- Hypotheses, rationale, design, and methods for evaluation of ischemic preconditioning assessed by sequential exercise tests in diabetic and non-diabetic patients with stable coronary artery disease - a prospective study(2013) REZENDE, Paulo Cury; GARCIA, Rosa Maria Rahmi; UCHIDA, Augusto Hiroshi; COSTA, Leandro Menezes Alves; SCUDELER, Thiago Luis; MELO, Rodrigo Morel Vieira; OIKAWA, Fernando Teiichi Costa; GARZILLO, Cibele Larrosa; LIMA, Eduardo Gomes; SEGRE, Carlos Alexandre Wainrober; FAVARATO, Desiderio; GIRARDI, Priscyla; TAKIUTI, Myrthes; STRUNZ, Celia Cassaro; HUEB, Whady; RAMIRES, Jose Antonio Franchini; KALIL FILHO, RobertoBackground: Ischemic preconditioning is a powerful mechanism of myocardial protection and in humans it can be evaluated by sequential exercise tests. Coronary Artery Disease in the presence of diabetes mellitus may be associated with worse outcomes. In addition, some studies have shown that diabetes interferes negatively with the development of ischemic preconditioning. However, it is still unknown whether diabetes may influence the expression of ischemic preconditioning in patients with stable multivessel coronary artery disease. Methods/Design: This study will include 140 diabetic and non-diabetic patients with chronic, stable coronary artery disease and preserved left ventricular systolic function. The patients will be submitted to two sequential exercise tests with 30-minutes interval between them. Ischemic parameters will be compared between diabetic and non-diabetic patients. Ischemic preconditioning will be considered present when time to 1.0 mm ST-segment deviation is greater in the second of two sequential exercise tests. Exercise tests will be analyzed by two independent cardiologists. Discussion: Ischemic preconditioning was first demonstrated by Murry et al. in dog's hearts. Its work was reproduced by other authors, clearly demonstrating that brief periods of myocardial ischemia followed by reperfusion triggers cardioprotective mechanisms against subsequent and severe ischemia. On the other hand, the demonstration of ischemic preconditioning in humans requires the presence of clinical symptoms or physiological changes difficult to be measured. One methodology largely accepted are the sequential exercise tests, in which, the improvement in the time to 1.0 mm ST depression in the second of two sequential tests is considered manifestation of ischemic preconditioning. Diabetes is an important and independent determinant of clinical prognosis. It's a major risk factor for coronary artery disease. Furthermore, the association of diabetes with stable coronary artery disease imposes worse prognosis, irrespective of treatment strategy. It's still not clearly known the mechanisms responsible by these worse outcomes. Impairment in the mechanisms of ischemic preconditioning may be one major cause of this worse prognosis, but, in the clinical setting, this is not known. The present study aims to evaluate how diabetes mellitus interferes with ischemic preconditioning in patients with stable, multivessel coronary artery disease and preserved systolic ventricular function.
conferenceObject Biomarkers Release After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Patients Without Definitive Miocardial Infarction Assessed by Cardiac Magnetic Ressonance With Late Gadolinium Enhancement. a Prospective Trial Using the Third Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction(2014) MELO, Rodrigo M. Vieira de; OIKAWA, Fernando T.; COSTA, Leandro M.; REZENDE, Paulo C.; SCUDELER, Thiago L.; NOMURA, Cesar H.; VILLA, Alexandre V.; HUEB, Alexandre C.; HUEB, Whady; KALIL FILHO, Roberto- Significant elevation of biomarkers of myocardial necrosis after coronary artery bypass grafting without myocardial infarction established assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance(2017) COSTA, Leandro Menezes Alves da; HUEB, Whady; NOMURA, Cesar Higa; HUEB, Alexandre Ciappina; VILLA, Alexandre Volney; OIKAWA, Fernando Teiichi Costa; MELO, Rodrigo Morel Vieira de; REZENDE, Paulo Cury; SEGRE, Carlos Alexandre Wainrober; GARZILLO, Cibele Larrosa; LIMA, Eduardo Gomes; RAMIRES, Jose Antonio Franchini; KALIL FILHO, RobertoThe release of myocardial necrosis biomarkers after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) frequently occurs. However, the correlation between biomarker release and the diagnosis of procedure-related myocardial infarction (MI) (type 5) has been controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the amount and pattern of cardiac biomarker release after elective OPCAB in patients without evidence of a new MI on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE). Patients with normal baseline cardiac biomarkers referred for elective OPCAB were prospectively included. CMR with LGE was performed in all patients before and after interventions. Measurements of troponin I (cTnI) and creatine kinase MB fraction (CK-MB) were systematically performed before and after the procedure. Patients with new LGE on the postprocedure CMR were excluded. All of the 53 patients without CMR evidence of a procedure-related MI after OPCAB exhibited a cTnI elevation peak above the 99th percentile. In 48 (91%), the peak value was > 10 times this threshold. However, 41 (77%) had a CK-MB peak above the limit of the 99th percentile, and this peak was > 10 times the 99th percentile in only 7 patients (13%). The median peak release of cTnI was 0.290 (0.8-3.7) ng/mL, which is 50-fold higher than the 99th percentile. In contrast with CK-MB, considerable cTnI release often occurs after an elective OPCAB procedure, despite the absence of new LGE on CMR.
- Biomarker release after percutaneous coronary intervention in patients without established myocardial infarction as assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance with late gadolinium enhancement(2017) MELO, Rodrigo Morel Vieira de; HUEB, Whady; NOMURA, Cesar Higa; SILVA, Expedito Eustaquio Ribeiro da; VILLA, Alexandre Volney; OIKAWA, Fernando Teiichi Costa; COSTA, Leandro Menezes Alves da; REZENDE, Paulo Cury; GARZILLO, Cibele Larrosa; LIMA, Eduardo Gomes; RAMIRES, Jose Antonio Franchini; KALIL FILHO, RobertoObjectivesThis study aimed to evaluate the amount and pattern of cardiac biomarker release after elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients without evidence of a new myocardial infarction (MI) after the procedure as assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE). BackgroundThe release of myocardial necrosis biomarkers after PCI frequently occurs. However, the correlation between biomarker release and the diagnosis of procedure-related MI type 4a has been controversial. MethodsPatients with normal baseline cardiac biomarkers who were referred for elective PCI were prospectively included. CMR with LGE was performed in all of the patients before and after the intervention. Measurements of troponin I (TnI) and creatine kinase MB fraction (CK-MB) were systematically performed before and after the procedure. Patients with a new LGE on the post-procedure CMR were excluded. ResultsOf the 56 patients with no evidence of a procedure-related MI as assessed by CMR after the PCI, 48 (85.1%) exhibited an elevation of TnI above the 99th percentile. In 32 patients (57.1%), the peak was greater than five times this limit. Additionally, 17 patients (30.4%) had a CK-MB peak above the 99th percentile limit, but this peak was greater than five times the 99th percentile in only two patients (3.6%). The median peak release of TnI was 0.290 (0.061-1.09) ng/mL, which was 7.25-fold higher than the 99th percentile. ConclusionsIn contrast to CK-MB, an abnormal release of TnI often occurs after an elective PCI procedure, despite the absence of a new LGE on CMR.
