- SBC Guidelines on Unstable Angina and Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction: Executive Summary(2015) FEITOSA-FILHO, Gilson Soares; BARACIOLI, Luciano Moreira; BARBOSA, Carlos Jose Dornas G.; FRANCI, Andre; TIMERMAN, Ari; PIEGAS, Leopoldo Soares; MARIN-NETO, Jose Antonio; NICOLAU, Jose Carlos
- Platelet function, coagulation and fibrinolysis in patients with previous coronary and cerebrovascular ischemic events(2019) BARBOSA, Carlos Jose Dornas Goncalves; BARREIROS, Renata de Souza; FRANCI, Andre; ARANTES, Flavia Bittar Brito; FURTADO, Remo Holanda de Mendonca; STRUNZ, Celia Maria Cassaro; ROCHA, Tania Rubia Flores da; BARACIOLI, Luciano Moreira; RAMIRES, Jose Antonio Franchini; KALIL-FILHO, Roberto; NICOLAU, Jose CarlosOBJECTIVES: Ischemic stroke (IS) or transient ischemic attack (TIA) history is present in 4-17% of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). This subgroup of patients is at high risk for both ischemic and bleeding events. The aim of this study was to determine the role of platelet aggregability, coagulation and endogenous fibrinolysis in patients with CAD and previous IS or TIA. METHODS: A prospective case-control study that included 140 stable CAD patients divided into two groups: the CASE group (those with a previous IS/TIA, n=70) and the CONTROL group (those without a previous IS/TIA, n=70). Platelet aggregability (VerifyNow Aspirin (R) and VerifyNow P2Y12 (R)), coagulation (fibrinogen and thromboelastography by Reorox (R)) and endogenous fibrinolysis (D dimer and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1) were evaluated. RESULTS: Patients in the CASE group presented significantly higher systolic blood pressure levels (135.84 +/- 16.09 vs 123.68 +/- 16.11, p <0.01), significantly more previous CABG (25.71% vs 10%, p=0.015) and significantly higher calcium channel blocker usage (42.86% vs 24.29%, p=0.02) than those in the control group. In the adjusted models, low triglyceride values, low hemoglobin values and higher systolic blood pressure were significantly associated with previous IS/TIA (CASE group). Most importantly, platelet aggregability, coagulation and fibrinolysis tests were not independently associated with previous cerebrovascular ischemic events (CASE group). CONCLUSION: Platelet aggregability, coagulation and endogenous fibrinolysis showed similar results among CAD patients with and without previous IS/TIA. Therefore, it remains necessary to identify other targets to explain the higher bleeding risk presented by these patients.
- Increased bodyweight and inadequate response to aspirin in individuals with coronary artery disease(2019) FURTADO, Remo H. M.; GIUGLIANO, Robert P.; DALCOQUIO, Talia F.; ARANTES, Flavia B. B.; BARBOSA, Carlos J. D. G.; GENESTRETI, Paulo R. R.; FRANCI, Andre; MENEZES, Fernando R.; NAKASHIMA, Carlos A. K.; SCANAVINI FILHO, Marco A.; FERRARI, Aline G.; SALSOSO, Rocio; BARACIOLI, Luciano M.; NICOLAU, Jose C.Recent reports have suggested that aspirin effect might be influenced by bodyweight, with decreased efficacy in heavier individuals. We investigated the influence of bodyweight on aspirin pharmacodynamics in two independent datasets of patients taking non-enteric coated aspirin 100mg QD for coronary artery disease (CAD). In the first dataset, 368 patients had their platelet aggregation assessed using VerifyNow Aspirin and measured in Aspirin Reaction Units (ARU). In the second dataset, 70 patients had serum thromboxane B2 (TXB2) dosage assessed by an ELISA assay and measured in pg/mL. Platelet aggregation was independently associated with bodyweight, with 8.41 (95% CI 1.86-14.97; adjusted p-value=0.012) increase in ARU for every 10kg. Furthermore, the rate of non-response to aspirin (defined as ARU550) was significantly associated with increased bodyweight (adjusted p-value=0.007), with OR=1.23 (95% CI 1.06-1.42) for every 10kg. Similar results were found considering body mass index (in kg/m(2)), with 15.5 (95% CI 5.0 to 25.9; adjusted p-value=0.004) increase in ARU for every 10kg and non-response OR=1.43 (95% CI 1.13 to 1.81, adjusted p-value=0.003) for every 5kg/m(2). Moreover, serum TXB2 was higher in patients weighting more than 70kg (222.6 +/- 62.9 versus 194.9 +/- 61.9pg/mL; adjusted p-value=0.018). In two different datasets of patients with CAD on non-enteric coated aspirin 100mg QD, increased bodyweight was independently associated with impaired response to aspirin.
- Effects of exercise on platelet reactivity after myocardial infarction: a randomized clinical trial(2023) DALCOQUIO, Talia Falcao; SANTOS, Mayara Alves dos; ALVES, Leandro Silva; ARANTES, Flavia Bittar Brito; FERREIRA-SANTOS, Larissa; RONDON, Maria Urbana Pinto Brandao; FURTADO, Remo Holanda M.; FERRARI, Aline Gehlen; RIZZO, Paulo Roberto Genestreti; SALSOSO, Rocio; FRANCI, Andre; BARACIOLI, Luciano Moreira; ALVES, Maria Janieire de Nazare Nunes; NEGRAO, Carlos Eduardo; NICOLAU, Jose CarlosExercise training (ET) can lower platelet reactivity in patients with cardiovascular risk factors. However, the effects of ET on platelet reactivity in higher-risk patients is unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of ET on platelet reactivity in patients with recent myocardial infarction (MI). Ninety patients were randomly assigned 1 month post-MI to the intervention (patients submitted to a supervised ET program) or control group. All patients were on dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). Platelet reactivity by VerifyNow-P2Y(12) (measured by P2Y(12) reaction units - PRU5) test was determined at baseline and at the end of 14 +/- 2 weeks of follow-up at rest (primary endpoint), and multiplate electrode aggregometry (MEA) adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and aspirin (ASPI) tests were performed immediately before and after the maximal cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) at the same time points (secondary endpoints). Sixty-five patients (mean age 58.9 +/- 10 years; 73.8% men; 60% ST elevation MI) completed follow-up (control group, n = 31; intervention group, n = 34). At the end of the follow-up, the mean platelet reactivity was 172.8 +/- 68.9 PRU5 and 166.9 +/- 65.1 PRU5 for the control and intervention groups, respectively (p = .72). Platelet reactivity was significantly increased after the CPET compared to rest at the beginning and at the end of the 14-week follow-up (among the intervention groups) by the MEA-ADP and MEA-ASPI tests (p < .01 for all analyses). In post-MI patients on DAPT, 14 weeks of supervised ET did not reduce platelet reactivity.
