- 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.

F.; FILHO, Roberto K.Background Despite the powerful myocardial protection of ischemic preconditioning (IP) observed in experimental studies, it remains a challenge to observe such protection in humans. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the possible effects of IP on clinical outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Patients and methods In this cohort study, patients with multivessel CAD, preserved systolic ventricular function, and stable angina were prospectively selected. They underwent two sequential exercise stress tests (EST) to evaluate IP presence. IP was considered present if patients had an improvement in the time to the onset of 1.0-mm STsegment deviation in the second EST. The primary end point was the composite rate of cardiac death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, or revascularization during 1-year follow-up. Patients with (IP+) and without (IP-) the cardioprotective mechanism were compared regarding clinical end points. Results A total of 229 patients completed EST and had IP evaluated: 165 (72%) were IP+ and 64 (28%) were IP - patients. Of these, 218 patients had complete follow-up. At 1-year, event-free survival regarding the primary end point was 95.5 versus 83.6% (P = 0.0024) and event-free survival regarding cardiac death or myocardial infarction was 99.4 versus 91.7% (P=0.0020), respectively, in IP + and IP - groups. The unadjusted hazard ratio (IP + /IP-) for the primary end point was 4.63 (1.52-14.08). After multivariate analysis, IP was still significantly associated with better clinical outcomes (P = 0.0025). Conclusion This data suggest that IP may contribute to better clinical outcomes in patients with ischemic heart disease.
