- Do Diabetic Patients with Acute Coronary Syndromes Have a Higher Threshold for Ischemic Pain?(2014) NICOLAU, Jose Carlos; BARBOSA, Carlos Jose Dornas Goncalves; FRANCI, Andre; BARACIOLI, Luciano Moreira; FRANKEN, Marcelo; LIMA, Felipe Gallego; GIRALDEZ, Roberto Rocha; KALIL FILHO, Roberto; RAMIRES, Jose Antonio Franchini; GIUGLIANO, Robert P.Background: Data from over 4 decades have reported a higher incidence of silent infarction among patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), but recent publications have shown conflicting results regarding the correlation between DM and presence of pain in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Objective: Our primary objective was to analyze the association between DM and precordial pain at hospital arrival. Secondary analyses evaluated the association between hyperglycemia and precordial pain at presentation, and the subgroup of patients presenting within 6 hours of symptom onset. Methods: We analyzed a prospectively designed registry of 3,544 patients with ACS admitted to a Coronary Care Unit of a tertiary hospital. We developed multivariable models to adjust for potential confounders. Results: Patients with precordial pain were less likely to have DM (30.3%) than those without pain (34.0%; unadjusted p = 0.029), but this difference was not significant after multivariable adjustment, for the global population (p = 0.84), and for subset of patients that presented within 6 hours from symptom onset (p = 0.51). In contrast, precordial pain was more likely among patients with hyperglycemia (41.2% vs 37.0% without hyperglycemia, p = 0.035) in the overall population and also among those who presented within 6 hours (41.6% vs. 32.3%, p = 0.001). Adjusted models showed an independent association between hyperglycemia and pain at presentation, especially among patients who presented within 6 hours (OR = 1.41, p = 0.008). Conclusion: In this non-selected ACS population, there was no correlation between DM and hospital presentation without precordial pain. Moreover, hyperglycemia correlated significantly with pain at presentation, especially in the population that arrived within 6 hours from symptom onset.
- 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.
- 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.
