Objective: based on the Russian Federation multicenter registry data, to assess the comprehensiveness of medicamentous therapy in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) from the perspective of 2018 European Society of Cardiology (ESC-2018) recommendations for myocardial revascularization and 2017 American Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC-2017) for the expediency of revascularization.
Materials and methods. Anamnestic data of 1531 patients with stable CAD (average age: 61.7 ± 9.8 years; 76% men) were studied. The data source was the Russian Federation multicenter registry of patients with arterial hypertension, CAD, and chronic heart failure. We identified the prescription of optimal medical therapy (OMT) sensu ESC-2018, maximal anti-ischemic therapy (MAT) sensu AUC-2017, and compliance of drug therapy with ESC-2018 and AUC-2017 simultaneously. OMT included at least one anti-ischemic medication + antiplatelet agent + statin + short-acting nitrate + blocker of the renin-angiotensin system in the presence of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, or heart failure. MAT included at least two anti-ischemic pharmaceutical drugs. Compliance with these criteria was determined in the groups of patients who underwent, or did not undergo, myocardial revascularization, as well as among those, for whom invasive treatment was indicated as the first priority, as the second priority, or was not indicated at all, according to ESC-2018 and AUC-2017.
Results. Among patients who received solely medicamentous therapy (n=924), OMT was prescribed in 18%, while in the revascularization group (n= 07), in 9% of cases (p <0.001). MAT was also prescribed more often in the conservative therapy group (34%) than in the revascularization group (24%): p = 0.001. OMT sensu ESC-2018 and AUC-2017 in the groups with, or without, intervention was prescribed in 3% vs. 7% of cases, respectively (p <0.001).
Conclusion. According to the Russian Federation multicenter registry, medicamentous therapy of stable CAD complies with the provisions of European and American clinical guidelines for myocardial revascularization in a small proportion of patients, regardless of the chosen treatment tactics.
According to the European Society of Cardiology guidelines, patients with chest pain requires the calculation of pretest probability (PTP) of coronary artery disease (CAD), followed by the identification of diagnostic tactics.Aim. To analyze the registry of patients with stable CAD in order to assess the frequency of PTP calculation, as well as the validity of diagnostic tactics choice depending on its level.Material and methods. The data of the registry of patients with stable CAD for the periods from 2012 to 2014 and from 2017 to 2019 were analyzed. We assessed the number of CAD patients, proportion of men, and distribution of patients depending on angina functional class. In addition, data on PTP calculation, as well as distribution of patients and diagnostic strategy selected depending on its value was analyzed. To assess differences (p) in pairwise comparisons, Student’s t-test was used. Differences were considered significant at p<0,05. Statistical analysis was performed using Microsoft Office Excel 2010 (Microsoft, USA) and STATISTICA 6.0 (StatSoft Inc., USA).Results. In 2017-2019, the number of detected CAD cases and proportion of men increased. In both time periods, an insufficient level of calculating PTP of CAD remains. In patients with intermediate PTP, 15-85% of priority tactics are invasive interventions, and with high PTP, the percentage of invasive methods does not reach the proper level, which does not correspond to modern guidelines for the management of CAD patients and leads to misappropriation of funds and healthcare resources.Conclusion. According to medical records, PTP can be determined in less than half of patients. In CAD patients with intermediate PTP, non-invasive studies are not carried out in full, since coronary angiography is preferred. In patients with a high PTP, invasive diagnostics is insufficient.
Резюме Цель: изуч ить частоту расхождения решений, принятых на основании рекомендаций Европейского общества кардиологов (ЕОК) 2018 и Критериев целесообразности коронарной реваскуляризации (AUC) 2012 и разработать алгоритм поддержки врачебных решений для определения потребности и обоснованности вмешательства на сосудах сердца у больных стабильной ишемической болезнью сердца (ИБС).
