Endothelial function as predictor in patients with coronary syndrome treated by percutaneous coronary intervention

Abstract: We aimed at identifying the predictive role of endothelial function assessed by the RH-PAT index (RHI) for future major cardiovascular events (MACEs) in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We measured RHI in 308 subjects with ACS, and they were divided into the normal endothelial function (NEF) group and the endothelial dysfunction (DEF) group according to the RHI. The subjects were followed up for a mean of 16 months (interquartile range [IQR]: 14-20 m… Show more

“…The system software automatically calculated the reactive hyperemia index (RHI) as the ratio of the average pulse wave amplitude (PWA) during a one-minute period following 90 s of reactive hyperemia to the average PWA during a three-to-five-minute baseline period, with the same ratio in the non-occluded arm serving as a control [ 30 ]. The RHI measures peripheral microvascular function in the digital vasculature that reflects, in part, nitric oxide-dependent vasodilation [ 31 , 32 , 33 ]. Relationships between the RHI response and circulating nitrate and epoxyeicosatrienoic acid levels have been reported [ 34 , 35 ].…”

“…And abnormal vascular endothelial function is a known prognostic indicator in children with familial cardiomyopathies (Tavares et al, 2012). Additionally, ED can also be used to predict future restenosis and major cardiovascular events in acute coronary syndrome patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (Yamamoto et al, 2014;Cheng et al, 2018).…”

“…Endothelial dysfunction is the earliest stage of an atherosclerotic process. Two non-invasive markers of endothelial dysfunctions, namely, flow-mediated dilation (FMD) and reactive hyperaemia peripheral arterial tonometry (RH-PAT), are currently available (9). A comparison of the results of FMD and DPN was reported previously (10,11).…”
