Insights

Major adverse noncardiac events (MANE) are more common than major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). MANE significantly impacts long-term survival and mortality, necessitating their monitoring in clinical trials.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Interventional Cardiology
  • Clinical Outcomes Research

Background:

  • Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) are standard outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), but major adverse noncardiac events (MANE) are not.
  • MANE, including bleeding and contrast nephropathy, significantly affect patient survival post-PCI.
  • This study investigates the feasibility and prognostic value of a composite MANE endpoint.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the incidence and prognostic impact of in-hospital MACE and MANE following PCI.
  • To evaluate the long-term survival implications of MANE compared to MACE.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 985 consecutive patients undergoing PCI was analyzed.
  • In-hospital MACE (MI, target vessel revascularization, stroke) and MANE (bleeding, contrast nephropathy) were recorded.
  • Long-term survival was tracked for up to 4.0 years post-PCI.

Main Results:

  • MANE occurred over six times more frequently than MACE (9.5% vs 1.5%).
  • MANE, unlike MACE, demonstrated a significant association with long-term mortality (40% vs 15% deaths).
  • MANE independently predicted increased long-term mortality (aHR=1.72) and myocardial infarction (aHR=3.43).

Conclusions:

  • Major adverse noncardiac events are frequent after PCI and carry significant long-term prognostic weight.
  • Monitoring and reporting MANE alongside MACE is crucial for comprehensive assessment in PCI trials.
  • MANE should be considered a critical endpoint in evaluating PCI outcomes.

Coronary Artery Disease V: Interprofessional Care

Interprofessional care for coronary artery disease includes pharmacological therapy and revascularization procedures.Pharmacological therapy for Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) aims to manage symptoms, prevent complications, and improve patient outcomes through various classes of medications:Antiplatelet Agents:Aspirin and Clopidogrel: These medications inhibit platelet aggregation, preventing blood clots, which is crucial for avoiding heart attacks and strokes. Doctors often prescribe these...

Acute Coronary Syndrome I: Introduction

Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) encompasses a spectrum of heart conditions caused by sudden obstruction of coronary arteries, typically resulting from the rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque and subsequent thrombus (blood clot) formation. This obstruction can lead to partial or complete blockage of blood flow, causing varying degrees of myocardial ischemia or infarction.ACS includes the following clinical entities:Unstable Angina (UA)Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI)ST-Elevation...

Acute Coronary Syndrome IV: Interprofessional Care

IntroductionThe management of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) aims to minimize myocardial damage, preserve myocardial function, and prevent complications.Initial ManagementInpatient management involves continuous cardiac monitoring, preferably in an ICU, focusing on blood pressure, serum sodium, potassium, and creatinine levels, and urine output. Ongoing pharmacologic management is crucial for stabilizing the patient.Supplemental Oxygen: Administer supplemental oxygen if oxygen saturation is...

Acute Coronary Syndrome III: Diagnostic Studies

Diagnosing acute coronary syndrome or ACS begins with a thorough patient history. Notable symptoms include central, crushing chest pain radiating to the left arm, neck, jaw, or back, along with shortness of breath, sweating (diaphoresis), nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and palpitations.It is crucial to note any history of cardiac illnesses and assess risk factors, including age, gender, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and a sedentary lifestyle.During physical examination, vital...

Coronary Artery Disease III: Clinical Manifestations

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is a primary health risk worldwide, leading to significant morbidity and mortality. The condition arises from the buildup of atherosclerotic plaques within the coronary arteries, resulting in diminished blood supply to the heart muscle.The clinical manifestations of CAD vary widely, from asymptomatic stages to severe, life-threatening conditions. Understanding these manifestations is crucial for early diagnosis and effective management.Angina Pectoris: The Warning...

Acute Coronary Syndrome II: Pathophysiology and Clinical Manifestations

The pathophysiology of Acute Coronary Syndrome [ACD] involves several key processes:The main underlying cause of ACD is atherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the buildup of lipid-laden plaques within the coronary arteries.As the atherosclerotic plaque grows in the coronary artery, it may become unstable due to the formation of a lipid-rich core and a thin fibrous cap. Inflammatory cells within the plaque, such as macrophages, secrete enzymes that degrade the...
