    Prognostic Value of Nonobstructive and Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease Detected by Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography to Identify Cardiovascular Events
    (2014) BITTENCOURT, Marcio Sommer; HULTEN, Edward; GHOSHHAJRA, Brian; O'LEARY, Daniel; CHRISTMAN, Mitalee P.; MONTANA, Philip; TRUONG, Quynh A.; STEIGNER, Michael; MURTHY, Venkatesh L.; RYBICKI, Frank J.; NASIR, Khurram; GOWDAK, Luis Henrique W.; HAINER, Jon; BRADY, Thomas J.; CARLI, Marcelo F. Di; HOFFMANN, Udo; ABBARA, Suhny; BLANKSTEIN, Ron
    Background- The contribution of plaque extent to predict cardiovascular events among patients with nonobstructive and obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) is not well defined. Our objective was to evaluate the prognostic value of plaque extent detected by coronary computed tomography angiography. Methods and Results- All consecutive patients without prior CAD referred for coronary computed tomography angiography to evaluate for CAD were included. Examination findings were classified as normal, nonobstructive (< 50% stenosis), or obstructive (>= 50%). Based on the number of segments with disease, extent of CAD was classified as nonextensive (<= 4 segments) or extensive (> 4 segments). The cohort included 3242 patients followed for the primary outcome of cardiovascular death or myocardial infarction for a median of 3.6 (2.1-5.0) years. In a multivariable analysis, the presence of extensive nonobstructive CAD (hazard ratio, 3.1; 95% confidence interval, 1.5-6.4), nonextensive obstructive (hazard ratio, 3.0; 95% confidence interval, 1.3-6.9), and extensive obstructive CAD (hazard ratio, 3.9; 95% confidence interval, 2.2-7.2) were associated with an increased rate of events, whereas nonextensive, nonobstructive CAD was not. The addition of plaque extent to a model that included clinical probability as well as the presence and severity of CAD improved risk prediction. Conclusions- Among patients with nonobstructive CAD, those with extensive plaque experienced a higher rate of cardiovascular death or myocardial infarction, comparable with those who have nonextensive disease. Even among patients with obstructive CAD, greater extent of nonobstructive plaque was associated with higher event rate. Our findings suggest that regardless of whether obstructive or nonobstructive disease is present, the extent of plaque detected by coronary computed tomography angiography enhances risk assessment.

    A prospective study of patients with refractory angina: outcomes and the role of high-sensitivity troponin T
    (2017) POPPI, Nilson T.; GOWDAK, Luis H. W.; DOURADO, Luciana O. C.; ADAM, Eduardo L.; LEITE, Thiago N. P.; MIOTO, Bruno M.; KRIEGER, Jose E.; CESAR, Luiz A. M.; PEREIRA, Alexandre C.
    BackgroundThe predictors of cardiovascular events in patients with chronic refractory angina are limited. High-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) assays are biomarkers that may be used to determine the prognosis of patients with stable coronary artery disease. HypothesisHs-cTnT is a predictor of death and nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI) in patients with refractory angina. MethodsWe prospectively enrolled 117 consecutive patients in this study. A heart team ruled out myocardial revascularization feasibility after assessing recent coronary angiograms; evidence of myocardial ischemia served as an inclusion criterion. Optimal medical therapy was encouraged via outpatient visits every 6 months; plasma hs-cTnT levels were determined at baseline. The primary endpoint was the composite incidence of death and nonfatal MI. ResultsDuring a median follow-up period of 28.0 months (interquartile range, 18.0-47.5 months), an estimated 28.0-month cumulative event rate of 13.4% was determined via the Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate predictors of the composite endpoint were hs-cTnT levels and LV dysfunction. Following a multivariate analysis, only hs-cTnT was independently associated with the events in question, either as a continuous variable (hazard ratio per unit increase in the natural logarithm: 2.83, 95% confidence interval: 1.62-4.92, P < 0.001) or as a categorical variable (hazard ratio for concentrations above the 99th percentile: 5.14, 95% confidence interval: 2.05-12.91, P < 0.001). ConclusionsIn patients with chronic refractory angina, plasma concentration of hs-cTnT is the strongest predictor of death and nonfatal MI. Notably, none of the outcomes in question occurred in patients with baseline plasma levels <5.0 ng/L.

    Obstructive sleep apnoea is associated with myocardial injury in patients with refractory angina
    (2016) GEOVANINI, Glaucylara R.; PEREIRA, Alexandre C.; GOWDAK, Luis H. W.; DOURADO, Luciana Oliveira Cascaes; POPPI, Nilson T.; VENTURINI, Gabriela; DRAGER, Luciano F.; LORENZI-FILHO, Geraldo
    Objective To investigate the association between obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) severity with markers of overnight myocardial injury in patients with refractory angina. Methods Patients with refractory angina were characterised clinically and they underwent ischaemia imaging stress tests by single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and/or cardiac MRI. The patients were admitted to the hospital, remained under resting conditions for blood determination of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) at 14:00, 22:00 and after overnight polysomnography at 7:00. Results We studied 80 consecutive patients (age: 62 +/- 10 years; male: 66%; body mass index (BMI): 29.5 +/- 4 kg/m(2)) with well-established diagnosis of refractory angina. The mean apnoea-hypopnoea index (AHI) was 37 +/- 29 events/h and OSA (AHI >15 events/h) was present in 75% of the population. Morning detectable hs-cTnT and above 99th percentile was present in 88% and 36% of the population, respectively. Patients in the first to third quartiles of OSA severity did not have circadian variation of hs-cTnT. In contrast, patients in the fourth quartile (AHI >= 51 events/h) had a circadian variation of hs-cTnT with a morning peak of hs-cTnT that was two times higher than that in the remaining population (p = 0.02). The highest quartile of OSA severity remained associated with the highest quartile of hs-cTnT (p = 0.028) in multivariate analysis. Conclusion Very severe OSA is common and independently associated with overnight myocardial injury in patients with refractory angina.

    Early Increase in Myocardial Perfusion After Stem Cell Therapy in Patients Undergoing Incomplete Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
    (2011) GOWDAK, Luis Henrique Wolff; SCHETTERT, Isolmar Tadeu; ROCHITTE, Carlos Eduardo; LISBOA, Luiz Augusto Ferreira; DALLAN, Luis Alberto Oliveira; CESAR, Luiz Antonio Machado; OLIVEIRA, Sergio Almeida de; KRIEGER, Jose Eduardo
    Incomplete revascularization is associated with worse long-term outcomes. Autologous bone marrow cells (BMC) have recently been tested in patients with severe coronary artery disease. We tested the hypothesis that intramyocardial injection of autologous BMC increases myocardial perfusion in patients undergoing incomplete coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Twenty-one patients (19 men), 59 +/- 7 years old, with limiting angina and multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD), not amenable to complete CABG were enrolled. BMC were obtained prior to surgery, and the lymphomonocytic fraction separated by density gradient centrifugation. During surgery, 5 mL containing 2.1 +/- 1.3 x 10(8) BMC (CD34+ = 0.8 +/- 0.3%) were injected in the ischemic non-revascularized myocardium. Myocardial perfusion was assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at baseline and 1 month after surgery. The increase in myocardial perfusion was compared between patients with < 50% (group A, n = 11) with that of patients with > 50% (group B, n = 10) of target vessels (stenosis a parts per thousand yenaEuro parts per thousand 70%) successfully bypassed. Injected myocardial segments included the inferior (n = 12), anterior (n = 7), and lateral (n = 2) walls. The number of treated vessels (2.3 +/- 0.8) was significantly smaller than the number of target vessels (4.2 +/- 1.0; P < 0.0001). One month after surgery, cardiac MRI showed a similar reduction (%) in the ischemic score of patients in group A (72.5 +/- 3.2), compared to patients in group B (78.1 +/- 3.2; P = .80). Intramyocardial injection of autologous BMC may help increase myocardial perfusion in patients undergoing incomplete CABG, even in those with fewer target vessels successfully treated. This strategy may be an adjunctive therapy for patients suffering from a more advanced (diffuse) CAD not amenable for complete direct revascularization.

    The role of optimal medical therapy in patients with refractory angina
    (2017) GOWDAK, L. H. W.
    The management of patients with refractory angina poses a major clinical challenge. Optimal medical therapy (OMT) is of paramount importance to improving quality of life by reducing (as much as possible) the number of angina attacks with a correspondent increase in exercise tolerance. For that, a judicious use of a combination of all agents currently approved in the management of patients with stable angina should be implemented. Guidelines usually recommend a combination of hemodynamic agents, such as β-blockers, calcium-channel blockers, and/or long-acting nitrates, at maximally tolerated doses, followed by the addition (as needed) of antianginal agents with different modes of action, such as trimetazidine, ivabradine, ranolazine, nicorandil, perhexiline, allopurinol, and/or fasudil (where available). Here, we describe the case of a patient who initially received a diagnosis of refractory angina and in whom OMT greatly helped to improve symptoms.

    Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery in Diffuse Advanced Coronary Artery Disease: 1-Year Clinical and Angiographic Results
    (2018) DOURADO, Luciana Oliveira Cascaes; BITTENCOURT, Marcio Sommer; PEREIRA, Alexandre Costa; POPPI, Nilson Tavares; DALLAN, Luis Alberto Oliveira; KRIEGER, Jose Eduardo; CESAR, Luiz Antonio Machado; GOWDAK, Luis Henrique Wolff
    Background Proper treatment of patients with diffuse, severe coronary artery disease (CAD) is a challenge due to its complexity. Thus, data on the outcomes after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) in this population is scarce. In this study, we aimed to determine the impact of CABG on the clinical and functional status, as well as graft patency in those individuals. Methods Patients with severe and diffuse CAD who underwent incomplete CABG due to complex anatomy or extensive distal coronary involvement were evaluated preoperatively and 1year after surgery. Postoperative coronary angiography was performed to evaluate graft patency. Graft occlusion was defined as the complete absence of opacification of the target vessel. Stratified analysis of graft occlusion was performed by graft type and territories, defined as left anterior descending artery (LAD), the left circumflex branch, and the right coronary artery territories; the latter two, grouped, were further classified as non-LAD territory. Results A total of 57 patients were included, in whom 131 grafts were placed. There was a significant improvement in Canadian Cardiovascular Society angina symptom severity (Z = -6.1; p < 0.001) and maximum oxygen uptake (p < 0.001), with a corresponding decrease in the use of long-acting nitrates (p < 0.001). The overall graft occlusion rate was 19.1%, with no significant difference between LAD and non-LAD territories (p = 0.08). However, a significantly lower occlusion rate was noted for the internal mammary artery (IMA) grafts when compared with saphenous vein grafts (p = 0.01), though this difference was only significant in the LAD territory (p = 0.04). Overall, the use of venous graft was the only predictor occlusion at 1 year (odds ratio: 4.03; p = 0.016). Conclusion In patients with diffuse CAD, incomplete CABG surgery resulted in a significant clinical improvement, with acceptable graft occlusion rates at 1 year, particularly for IMA grafts to the LAD territory.

    High Dose of N-Acetylcystein Prevents Acute Kidney Injury in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients Undergoing Myocardial Revascularization
    (2014) SANTANA-SANTOS, Eduesley; GOWDAK, Luis Henrique W.; GAIOTTO, Fabio A.; PUIG, Luiz B.; HAJJAR, Ludhmila A.; ZEFERINO, Suely P.; DRAGER, Luciano F.; SHIMIZU, Maria Heloisa M.; BORTOLOTTO, Luiz A.; LIMA, Jose J. G. De
    Background. The renoprotective effect of N-acetylcystein in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery is controversial. Methods. We assessed the renoprotective effect of the highest dose of N-acetylcystein sanctioned for clinical use in a prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled study including 70 chronic kidney disease patients, stage 3 or 4, who underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery, on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and off CPB, and were randomly allocated to receive either N-acetylcystein 150 mg/kg followed by 50 mg/kg for 6 hours in 0.9% saline or only 0.9% saline. Acute kidney injury was defined by the Acute Kidney Injury Network classification. Results. The incidence of kidney injury was reduced in the N-acetylcystein group (57.1% versus 28.6%, p = 0.016). Nonuse of N-acetylcystein (relative risk 3.58, 95% confidence interval: 1.04 to 12.33, p = 0.04) and cardiopulmonary bypass (relative risk 4.55, 95% confidence interval: 1.28 to 16.15, p = 0.02) were independent predictors of kidney injury. In patients treated with CPB, N-acetylcystein reduced the incidence of kidney injury from 63% to 46%. Oxidative stress was increased in control subjects (p = 0.01) and abolished in patients receiving N-acetylcystein. Conclusions. Maximum intravenous doses of N-acetylcystein reduce the incidence of acute kidney injury in patients with kidney disease undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery, abolish oxidative stress, and mitigate the negative effect of CPB on renal function.
