- The ORBITA trial: A point of view(2018) OLIVEIRA, Vitor Dornela de; GIUGNI, Fernando Rabioglio; MARTINS, Eduardo Bello; AZEVEDO, Diogo Freitas Cardoso de; LIMA, Eduardo Gomes; SERRANO JUNIOR, Carlos VicenteTreatment of stable coronary artery disease (CAD) relies on improved prognosis and relief of symptoms. National and international guidelines on CAD support the indication for revascularization in patients with limiting symptoms and refractory to drug treatment. Previous studies attested the efficacy of angioplasty to improve angina as well as the functional capacity of patients with symptomatic stable CAD. The ORBITA trial, recently published in an international journal, showed no benefit in terms of exercise tolerance compared to a placebo procedure in a population of single-vessel patients undergoing contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention. In this point of view article, the authors discuss the ORBITA trial regarding methodological issues, limitations and clinical applicability.
- Type 2 diabetes mellitus and myocardial ischemic preconditioning in symptomatic coronary artery disease patients(2015) REZENDE, Paulo Cury; RAHMI, Rosa Maria; UCHIDA, Augusto Hiroshi; COSTA, Leandro Menezes Alves da; SCUDELER, Thiago Luis; GARZILLO, Cibele Larrosa; LIMA, Eduardo Gomes; SEGRE, Carlos Alexandre Wainrober; GIRARDI, Priscyla; TAKIUTI, Myrthes; SILVA, Marcela Francisca; HUEB, Whady; RAMIRES, Jose Antonio Franchini; FILHO, Roberto KalilBackground: The influence of diabetes mellitus on myocardial ischemic preconditioning is not clearly defined. Experimental studies are conflicting and human studies are scarce and inconclusive. Objectives: Identify whether diabetes mellitus intervenes on ischemic preconditioning in symptomatic coronary artery disease patients. Methods: Symptomatic multivessel coronary artery disease patients with preserved systolic ventricular function and a positive exercise test underwent two sequential exercise tests to demonstrate ischemic preconditioning. Ischemic parameters were compared among patients with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus. Ischemic preconditioning was considered present when the time to 1.0 mm ST deviation and rate pressure-product were greater in the second of 2 exercise tests. Sequential exercise tests were analyzed by 2 independent cardiologists. Results: Of the 2,140 consecutive coronary artery disease patients screened, 361 met inclusion criteria, and 174 patients (64.2 +/- 7.6 years) completed the study protocol. Of these, 86 had the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. Among diabetic patients, 62 (72%) manifested an improvement in ischemic parameters consistent with ischemic preconditioning, whereas among nondiabetic patients, 60 (68%) manifested ischemic preconditioning (p = 0.62). The analysis of patients who demonstrated ischemic preconditioning showed similar improvement in the time to 1.0 mm ST deviation between diabetic and nondiabetic groups (79.4 +/- 47.6 vs 65.5 +/- 36.4 s, respectively, p = 0.12). Regarding rate pressure-product, the improvement was greater in diabetic compared to nondiabetic patients (3011 +/- 2430 vs 2081 +/- 2139 bpm x mmHg, respectively, p = 0.01). Conclusions: In this study, diabetes mellitus was not associated with impairment in ischemic preconditioning in symptomatic coronary artery disease patients. Furthermore, diabetic patients experienced an improvement in this significant mechanism of myocardial protection.
- Impact of diabetes mellitus on ischemic cardiomyopathy. Five-year follow-up. REVISION-DM trial(2018) HUEB, Thiago; ROCHA, Mauricio S.; SIQUEIRA, Sergio F.; NISHIOKA, Silvana Angelina D'Orio; PEIXOTO, Giselle L.; SACCAB, Marcos M.; LIMA, Eduardo Gomes; GARCIA, Rosa Maria Rahmi; RAMIRES, Jos Antonio F.; KALIL FILHO, Roberto; MARTINELLI FILHO, MartinoBackground: Patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy and severe left ventricular dysfunction have a worse survival prognosis than patients with preserved ventricular function. The role of diabetes in the long-term prognosis of this patient group is unknown. This study investigated whether the presence of diabetes has a long-term impact on left ventricular function. Methods: Patients with coronary artery disease who underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery, percutaneous coronary intervention, or medical therapy alone were included. All patients had multivessel disease and left ventricular ejection fraction measurements. Overall mortality, nonfatal myocardial infarction, stroke, and additional interventions were investigated. Results: From January 2009 to January 2010, 918 consecutive patients were selected and followed until May 2015. They were separated into 4 groups: G1, 266 patients with diabetes and ventricular dysfunction; G2, 213 patients with diabetes without ventricular dysfunction; G3, 213 patients without diabetes and ventricular dysfunction; and G4, 226 patients without diabetes but with ventricular dysfunction. Groups 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively, had a mortality rate of 21.6, 6.1, 4.2, and 10.6% (P < .001); nonfatal myocardial infarction of 5.3, .5, 7.0, and 2.6% (P < .001); stroke of .40, .45, .90, and .90% (P = NS); and additional intervention of 3.8, 11.7, 10.3, and 2.6% (P < .001). Conclusion: In this sample, regardless of the treatment previously received patients with or without diabetes and preserved ventricular function experienced similar outcomes. However, patients with ventricular dysfunction had a worse prognosis compared with those with normal ventricular function; patients with diabetes had greater mortality than patients without diabetes.
- Effect of diabetic kidney disease on therapeutic strategies for coronary artery disease: ten year follow-up(2021) BATISTA, Daniel Valente; HUEB, Whady; LIMA, Eduardo Gomes; REZENDE, Paulo Cury; GARZILLO, Cibele Larrosa; GARCIA, Rosa Maria Rahmi; LINHARES FILHO, Jaime Paula Pessoa; MARTINS, Eduardo Bello; SERRANO JUNIOR, Carlos Vicente; RAMIRES, Jose Antonio Franchini; KALIL FILHO, RobertoBackground: The best treatment for coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with type 2 diabetes (DM2) and chronic kidney disease is unknown. Methods: This retrospective study included MASS registry patients with DM2 and multivessel CAD, stratified by kidney function. Primary endpoint was combined of mortality, myocardial infarction, or additional revascularization. Results: Median follow-up was 9.5 years. Primary endpoint occurrences among strata 1 and 2 were 53.4% and 40.7%, respectively (P=.020). Mortality rates were 37.4% and 24.6% in strata 1 and 2, respectively (P<.001). We observed a lower rate of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (P=.027 for stratum 1 and P<.001 for stratum 2) and additional revascularization (P=.001 for stratum 1 and P<.001 for stratum 2) for those in the surgical group. In a multivariate analysis, eGFR was an independent predictor of MACE (P=.034) and mortality (P=.020). Conclusions: Among subjects with DM2 and CAD the presence of lower eGFR rate was associated with higher rates of MACE and mortality, irrespective of treatment choice. CABG was associated with lower rates of MACE in both renal function strata. eGFR was an independent predictor of MACE and mortality in a 10-year follow-up.
- 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.
- Significant association of SYNTAX score on release of cardiac biomarkers in uncomplicated post-revascularization procedures among patients with stable multivessel disease MASS-V Study group(2020) AZEVEDO, Diogo Freitas Cardoso de; HUEB, Whady; LIMA, Eduardo Gomes; REZENDE, Paulo Cury; LINHARES FILHO, Jaime Paula Pessoa; CARVALHO, Guilherme Fernandes de; MARTINS, Eduardo Bello; NOMURA, Cesar Higa; STRUNZ, Celia Maria Cassaro; SERRANO JUNIOR, Carlos Vicente; RAMIRES, Jose Antonio Franchini; KALIL FILHO, RobertoThis study investigated the relationship between angiographic complexities of coronary artery disease (CAD) assessed by SYNTAX Score synergy between percutaneous coronary intervention with taxus and cardiac surgery score (SYNTAX Score) and cardiac biomarker elevation after revascularization procedures. This is a post-hoc analysis of the medicine, angioplasty or surgery study V study of patients with stable CAD. High-sensitivity troponin 1 (hs-TnI) and creatinine kinase-muscle/brain (CK-MB) were assessed before and after cardiovascular procedures. Baselines SYNTAX Scores (SXScores) were calculated by blinded investigators to patient characteristics. Of the 202 patients studied, the mean SXScore was 21.25 +/- 9.24; 40.10 +/- 7.09 in the high SXScore group and 19.06 +/- 6.61 in low/mid SXscore group (P < .0001). Positive correlations existed between SXScore and median peaks after procedural hs-TnI (r = 0.18, P = .009) and CK-MB (r = 0.24, P = .001) levels. In patients with high SXScores (>= 33), the median peaks of post-procedural hs-TnI (P = .034)and CK-MB (P = .004) levels were higher than in low/mid SXScore group (<33).The release of hs-TnI at 6 (P = .002), 12 (P = .008), and 24 hours (P = .039) was higher in high SXScore group than in low/mid SXscore group (<33) as was the release of CK-MB at 6 (P < .0001), 12 (P < .0001), 24 (P = .001), 36 (P = .007), 48 (P = .008), and 72 hours (P = .023). After multivariable analysis, high SXScore was a significant independent predictor of release of CK-MB and hs-TnI peaks higher than the median. The increase in release of cardiac biomarkers was significantly associated with the extent of atherosclerosis identified by the SYNTAX Score.
- 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.
- Effect of Complete Revascularization on 10-Year Survival of Patients With Stable Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease MASS II Trial(2012) VIEIRA, Ricardo D'Oliveira; HUEB, Whady; GERSH, Bernard J.; LIMA, Eduardo Gomes; PEREIRA, Alexandre Costa; REZENDE, Paulo Cury; GARZILLO, Cibele Larrosa; HUEB, Alexandre Ciappina; FAVARATO, Desiderio; SOARES, Paulo Rogerio; RAMIRES, Jose Antonio Franchini; KALIL FILHO, RobertoBackground-The importance of complete revascularization remains unclear and contradictory. This current investigation compares the effect of complete revascularization on 10-year survival of patients with stable multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD) who were randomly assigned to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). Methods and Results-This is a post hoc analysis of the Second Medicine, Angioplasty, or Surgery Study (MASS II), which is a randomized trial comparing treatments in patients with stable multivessel CAD, and preserved systolic ventricular function. We analyzed patients who underwent surgery (CABG) or stent angioplasty (PCI). The survival free of overall mortality of patients who underwent complete (CR) or incomplete revascularization (IR) was compared. Of the 408 patients randomly assigned to mechanical revascularization, 390 patients (95.6%) underwent the assigned treatment; complete revascularization was achieved in 224 patients (57.4%), 63.8% of those in the CABG group and 36.2% in the PCI group (P = 0.001). The IR group had more prior myocardial infarction than the CR group (56.2% X 39.2%, P = 0.01). During a 10-year follow-up, the survival free of cardiovascular mortality was significantly different among patients in the 2 groups (CR, 90.6% versus IR, 84.4%; P = 0.04). This was mainly driven by an increased cardiovascular specific mortality in individuals with incomplete revascularization submitted to PCI (P = 0.05). Conclusions-Our study suggests that in 10-year follow-up, CR compared with IR was associated with reduced cardiovascular mortality, especially due to a higher increase in cardiovascular-specific mortality in individuals submitted to PCI.
- Cancer-related deaths among different treatment options in chronic coronary artery disease: results of a 6-year follow-up of the MASS II study(2012) VIEIRA, Ricardo D.; PEREIRA, Alexandre C.; LIMA, Eduardo G.; GARZILLO, Cibele L.; REZENDE, Paulo Cury; FAVARATO, Desiderio; HUEB, Alexandre C.; GERSH, Bernard J.; RAMIRES, Jose A. F.; HUEB, WhadyIntroduction The primary end points of randomized clinical trials evaluating the outcome of therapeutic strategies for coronary artery disease (CAD) have included nonfatal acute myocardial infarction, the need for further revascularization, and overall mortality. Noncardiac causes of death may distort the interpretation of the long-term effects of coronary revascularization. Materials and methods This post-hoc analysis of the second Medicine, Angioplasty, or Surgery Study evaluates the cause of mortality of patients with multivessel CAD undergoing medical treatment, percutaneous coronary intervention, or surgical myocardial revascularization [coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG)] after a 6-year follow-up. Mortality was classified as cardiac and noncardiac death, and the causes of noncardiac death were reported. Results Patients were randomized into CABG and non-CABG groups (percutaneous coronary intervention plus medical treatment). No statistical differences were observed in overall mortality (P = 0.824). A significant difference in the distribution of causes of mortality was observed among the CABG and non-CABG groups (P = 0.003). In the CABG group, of the 203 randomized patients, the overall number of deaths was 34. Sixteen patients (47.1%) died of cardiac causes and 18 patients (52.9%) died of noncardiac causes. Of these, seven deaths (20.6%) were due to neoplasia. In the non-CABG group, comprising 408 patients, the overall number of deaths was 69. Fifty-three patients (77%) died of cardiac causes and 16 patients (23%) died of noncardiac causes. Only five deaths (7.2%) were due to neoplasia. Conclusion Different treatment options for multivessel coronary artery disease have similar overall mortality: CABG patients had the lowest incidence of cardiac death, but the highest incidence of noncardiac causes of death, and specifically a higher tendency toward cancer-related deaths.

- Long-term outcomes of patients with stable coronary disease and chronic kidney dysfunction: 10-year follow-up of the Medicine, Angioplasty, or Surgery Study II Trial(2020) LIMA, Eduardo Gomes; CHARYTAN, David M.; HUEB, Whady; AZEVEDO, Diogo Freitas Cardoso de; GARZILLO, Cibele Larrosa; FAVARATO, Desiderio; LINHARES FILHO, Jaime Paula Pessoa; MARTINS, Eduardo Bello; BATISTA, Daniel Valente; REZENDE, Paulo Cury; HUEB, Alexandre Ciappina; RAMIRES, Jose Antonio Franchini; KALIL FILHO, RobertoBackground. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with a worse prognosis in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD); however, there is limited randomized data on long-term outcomes of CAD therapies in these patients. We evaluated long-term outcomes of CKD patients with CAD who underwent randomized therapy with medical treatment (MT) alone, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). Methods. Baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was obtained in 611 patients randomized to one of three therapeutic strategies in the Medicine, Angioplasty, or Surgery Study II trial. Patients were categorized in preserved renal function and mild or moderate CKD groups depending on their eGFR (>= 90, 89-60 and 59-30 mL/min/1.73 m(2), respectively). The primary clinical endpoint, a composite of overall death and myocardial infarction, and its individual components were analyzed using proportional hazards regression (Clinical Trial registration information: http://www.controlled-trials.com.Registration number: ISRCTN66068876). Results. Of 611 patients, 112 (18%) had preserved eGFR, 349 (57%) mild dysfunction and 150 (25%) moderate dysfunction. The primary endpoint occurred in 29.5, 32.4 and 44.7% (P = 0.02) for preserved eGFR, mild CKD and moderate CKD, respectively. Overall mortality incidence was 18.7, 23.8 and 39.3% for preserved eGFR, mild CKD and moderate CKD, respectively (P = 0.001). For preserved eGFR, there was no significant difference in outcomes between therapies. For mild CKD, the primary event rate was 29.4% for PCI, 29.1% for CABG and 41.1% for MT (P = 0.006) [adjusted hazard ratio (HR) = 0.26, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.07-0.88; P = 0.03 for PCI versus MT; and adjusted HR = 0.48; 95% CI 0.31-0.76; P = 0.002 for CABG versus MT]. We also observed higher mortality rates in the MT group (28.6%) compared with PCI (24.1%) and CABG (19.0%) groups (P = 0.015) among mild CKD subjects (adjusted HR = 0.44, 95% CI 0.25-0.76; P = 0.003 for CABG versus MT; adjusted HR = 0.56, 95% CI 0.07-4.28; P = 0.58 for PCI versus MT). Results were similar with moderate CKD group but did not achieve significance. Conclusions. Coronary interventional therapy, both PCI and CABG, is associated with lower rates of events compared with MT in mild CKD patients >10 years of follow-up. More study is needed to confirm these benefits in moderate CKD.
