- Relation of High Lipoprotein (a) Concentrations to Platelet Reactivity in Individuals with and Without Coronary Artery Disease(2020) SALSOSO, Rocio; DALCOQUIO, Talia F.; FURTADO, Remo H. M.; FRANCI, Andre; BARBOSA, Carlos J. D. G.; GENESTRETI, Paulo R. R.; STRUNZ, Celia M. C.; LIMA, Viviane; BARACIOLI, Luciano M.; GIUGLIANO, Robert P.; GOODMAN, Shaun G.; GURBEL, Paul A.; MARANHAO, Raul C.; NICOLAU, Jose C.Introduction Lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] is a risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study addressing the relationship between Lp(a) and platelet reactivity in primary and secondary prevention. Methods Lp(a) was evaluated in 396 individuals with (82.3%) and without (17.7%) obstructive CAD. The population was divided into two groups according to Lp(a) concentrations with a cutoff value of 50 mg/dL. The primary objective was to evaluate the association between Lp(a) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-induced platelet reactivity using the VerifyNow (TM) P2Y(12)assay. Platelet reactivity was also induced by arachidonic acid and collagen-epinephrine (C-EPI) and assessed by Multiplate (TM), platelet function analyzer (TM) 100 (PFA-100), and light transmission aggregometry (LTA) assays. Secondary objectives included the assessment of the primary endpoint in individuals with or without CAD. Results Overall, 294 (74.2%) individuals had Lp(a) < 50 mg/dL [median (IQR) 13.2 (5.8-27.9) mg/dL] and 102 (25.8%) had Lp(a) >= 50 mg/dL [82.5 (67.6-114.5) mg/dL],P < 0.001. Univariate analysis in the entire population revealed no differences in ADP-induced platelet reactivity between individuals with Lp(a) >= 50 mg/dL (249.4 +/- 43.8 PRU) versus Lp(a) < 50 mg/dL (243.1 +/- 52.2 PRU),P = 0.277. Similar findings were present in individuals with (P = 0.228) and without (P = 0.669) CAD, and regardless of the agonist used or method of analysis (allP > 0.05). Finally, multivariable analysis did not show a significant association between ADP-induced platelet reactivity and Lp(a) >= 50 mg/dL [adjusted OR = 1.00 [(95% CI 0.99-1.01),P = 0.590]. Conclusion In individuals with or without CAD, Lp(a) >= 50 mg/dL was not associated with higher platelet reactivity.
- Performance of acute coronary syndrome approaches in Brazil: a report from the BRACE (Brazilian Registry in Acute Coronary SyndromEs)(2020) FRANKEN, Marcelo; GIUGLIANO, Robert P.; GOODMAN, Shaun G.; BARACIOLI, Luciano Moreira; GODOY, Lucas Colombo; FURTADO, Remo H. M.; LIMA, Felipe Gallego; NICOLAU, Jose CarlosAims Diagnostic and therapeutic tools have a significant impact on morbidity and mortality associated with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Data about ACS performance measures are scarce in Brazil, and improving its collection is an objective of the Brazilian Registry in Acute Coronary syndromEs (BRACE). Methods and results The BRACE is a cross-sectional, observational epidemiological registry of ACS patients. Stratified 'cluster sampling' methodology was adopted to obtain a representative picture of ACS. A performance score (PS) varying from 0 to 100 was developed to compare studied parameters. Performance measures alone and the PS were compared between institutions, and the relationship between the PS and outcomes was evaluated. A total of 1150 patients, median age 63 years, 64% male, from 72 hospitals were included in the registry. The mean PS for the overall population was 65.9% +/- 20.1%. Teaching institutions had a significantly higher PS (71.4% +/- 16.9%) compared with non-teaching hospitals (63.4% +/- 21%; P <0.001). Overall in-hospital mortality was 5.2%, and the variables that correlated independently with in-hospital mortality included: PS perpoint increase (OR = 0.97, 95% CI 0.95-0.98, P < 0.001), age-per year (OR= 1.06, 95% CI 1.03-1.09, P < 0.001), chronic kidney disease (OR = 3.12, 95% CI 1.08-9.00, P = 0.036), and prior angioplasty (OR = 0.25, 95% CI 0.07-0.84, P = 0.025). Conclusions In BRACE, the adoption of evidence-based therapies for ACS, as measured by the performance score, was independently associated with lower in-hospital mortality. The use of diagnostic tools and therapeutic approaches for the management of ACS is less than ideal in Brazil, with high variability especially among different regions of the country.
- Platelet Reactivity in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndromes Awaiting Surgical Revascularization(2021) NAKASHIMA, Carlos A. K.; DALLAN, Luis A. O.; LISBOA, Luiz A. F.; JATENE, Fabio B.; HAJJAR, Ludhmila A.; SOEIRO, Alexandre M.; FURTADO, Remo H. M.; DALCOQUIO, Talia F.; BARACIOLI, Luciano M.; LIMA, Felipe G.; V, Roberto R. C. Giraldez; SILVA, Bianca A.; COSTA, Mateus S. S.; STRUNZ, Celia M. C.; DALLAN, Luis R. P.; BARBOSA, Carlos J. D. G.; BRITTO, Flavia A. B.; FARKOUH, Michael E.; GURBEL, Paul A.; NICOLAU, Jose C.BACKGROUND Dual antiplatelet therapy is recommended for patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Approximately 10% to 15% of these patients will undergo coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery for index events, and current guidelines recommend stopping clopidogrel at least 5 days before CABG. This waiting time has clinical and economic implications. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate if a platelet reactivity-based strategy is noninferior to standard of care for 24-h post-CABG bleeding. METHODS In this randomized, open label noninferiority trial, 190 patients admitted with ACS with indications for CABG and on aspirin and P2Y(12) receptor inhibitors, were assigned to either control group, P2Y(12) receptor inhibitor withdrawn 5 to 7 days before CABG, or intervention group, daily measurements of platelet reactivity by Multiplate analyzer (Roche Diagnostics GmbH, Vienna, Austria) with CABG planned the next working day after platelet reactivity normalization (predefined as >= 46 aggregation units). RESULTS Within the first 24 h of CABG, the median chest tube drainage was 350 ml (interquartile range [IQR]: 250 to 475 ml) and 350 ml (IQR: 255 to 500 ml) in the intervention and control groups, respectively (p for noninferiority <0.001). The median waiting period between the decision to undergo CABG and the procedure was 112 h (IQR: 66 to 142 h) and 136 h (IQR: 112 to 161 h) (p < 0.001), respectively. In the intention-to-treat analysis, a 6.4% decrease in the median in-hospital expenses was observed in the intervention group (p = 0.014), with 11.2% decrease in the analysis per protocol (p = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS A strategy based on platelet reactivity-guided is noninferior to the standard of care in patients with ACS awaiting CABG regarding peri-operative bleeding, significantly shortens the waiting time to CABG, and decreases hospital expenses.

- Factors associated with actively working in the very long-term following acute coronary syndrome(2021) NICOLAU, Jose C.; FURTADO, Remo H. M.; DALCOQUIO, Talia F.; LARA, Livia M.; JULIASZ, Marcela G.; FERRARI, Aline G.; NAKASHIMA, Carlos A. K.; FRANCI, Andre; PEREIRA, Cesar A. C.; LIMA, Felipe G.; GIRALDEZ, Roberto R.; SALSOSO, Rocio; BARACIOLI, Luciano M.; GOODMAN, ShaunOBJECTIVES: Returning to work after an episode of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is challenging for many patients, and has both personal and social impacts. There are limited data regarding the working status in the very long-term after ACS. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 1,632 patients who were working prior to hospitalization for ACS in a quaternary hospital and were followed-up for up to 17 years. Adjusted models were developed to analyze the variables independently associated with actively working at the last contact, and a prognostic predictive index for not working at follow-up was developed. RESULTS: The following variables were significantly and independently associated with actively working at the last contact: age> median (hazard-ratio [HR], 0.76, p <0.001); male sex (HR, 1.52, p <0.001); government health insurance (HR, 1.36, p <0.001); history of angina (HR, 0.69, p <0.001) or myocardial infarction (MI) (HR, 0.76, p=0.005); smoking (HR, 0.81, p=0.015); ST-elevation MI (HR, 0.81, p=0.021); anterior-wall MI (HR, 0.75, p=0.001); non-primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (HR, 0.77, p=0.002); fibrinolysis (HR, 0.61, p<0.001); cardiogenic shock (HR, 0.60, p=0.023); statin (HR, 3.01, p < 0.001), beta-blocker (HR, 1.26, p=0.020), angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor/angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) (HR, 1.37, p=0.001) at hospital discharge; and MI at follow-up (HR, 0.72, p=0.001). The probability of not working at the last contact ranged from 24.2% for patients with no variables, up to 80% for patients with six or more variables. CONCLUSIONS: In patients discharged after ACS, prior and in-hospital clinical variables, as well as the quality of care at discharge, have a great impact on the long-term probability of actively working.
- Effects of Ticagrelor and Clopidogrel on Coronary Microcirculation in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction(2022) SCANAVINI-FILHO, Marco Antonio; BERWANGER, Otavio; MATTHIAS, Wilson; AGUIAR, Miguel O.; CHIANG, Hsu P.; AZEVEDO, Luciene; BARACIOLI, Luciano M.; LIMA, Felipe G.; FURTADO, Remo H. M.; DALCOQUIO, Talia F.; MENEZES, Fernando R.; FERRARI, Aline G.; LUCA, Fabio de; GIUGLIANO, Robert P.; GOODMAN, Shaun; NICOLAU, Jose C.Introduction Clopidogrel has been demonstrated to be effective in improving coronary microcirculation (CM) among patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with fibrinolytics. Ticagrelor is a more potent adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor blocker proven to be superior to clopidogrel among patients with acute coronary syndromes. The present study aimed to compare the effects of ticagrelor and clopidogrel on CM in patients with STEMI treated with fibrinolytics. Methods The present study prospectively included 48 patients participating in the TREAT trial, which randomly assigned patients with STEMI undergoing fibrinolysis to ticagrelor versus clopidogrel. The primary endpoint of this study was the evaluation of the CM using the global myocardial perfusion score index (global MPSI) obtained by myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE). Platelet aggregation to ADP was evaluated by Multiplate (R) and expressed as area under the curve (AUC). Results The global MPSI demonstrated no differences between the groups [mean 1.4 (1.2-1.5) in the ticagrelor group and 1.2 (1.2-1.5) in the clopidogrel group (p = 0.41)]. Platelet aggregability was lower in the ticagrelor group (18.1 +/- 9.7 AUC), compared to the clopidogrel group (26.1 +/- 12.5 AUC, p = 0.01). Conclusion We found no improvement in coronary microcirculation with ticagrelor compared to clopidogrel among patients with STEMI treated with fibrinolytics, despite the fact that platelet aggregation to ADP was lower with ticagrelor.
- Association between Statin Therapy and Lower Incidence of Hyperglycemia in Patients Hospitalized with Acute Coronary Syndromes(2021) FURTADO, Remo Holanda de Mendonca; GENESTRETI, Paulo Rizzo; DALCOQUIO, Talia F.; BARACIOLI, Luciano Moreira; LIMA, Felipe Galego; FRANCI, Andre; V, Roberto R. C. Giraldez; MENEZES, Fernando R.; FERRARI, Aline Gehlen; LIMA, Viviane Moreira; PEREIRA, Cesar A. C.; NAKASHIMA, Carlos Alberto Kenji; SALSOSO, Rocio; GODOY, Lucas Colombo; NICOLAU, Jose C.Background: Increased risk of new-onset diabetes with statins challenges the long-term safety of this drug class. However, few reports have analyzed this issue during acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Objective: To explore the association between early initiation of statin therapy and blood glucose levels in patients admitted with ACS. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of patients hospitalized with ACS. Stain-naive patients were included and divided according to their use or not of statins within the first 24 hours of hospitalization. The primary endpoint was incidence of in-hospital hyperglycemia (defined as peak blood glucose > 200 mg/dL). Multivariable linear and logistic regression models were used to adjust for confounders, and a propensity-score matching model was developed to further compare both groups of interest. A p-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: A total of 2,357 patients were included, 1,704 of them allocated in the statin group and 653 in the non-statin group. After adjustments, statin use in the first 24 hours was associated with a lower incidence of in-hospital hyperglycemia (adjusted OR=0.61, 95% Cl 0.46-0.80; p < 0.001) and lower need for insulin therapy (adjusted OR = 0.56, 95% CI 0.41-0.76; p < 0.001). Mese associations remained similar in the propensity-score matching models, as well as after several sensitivity analyses, such as after excluding patients who developed cardiogenic shock, severe infection or who died during index-hospitalization. Conclusions: Among statin-naive patients admitted with ACS, early statin therapy was independently associated with lower incidence of inhospital hyperglycemia.
