The prognostic importance of left ventricular function in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: the HORIZONS-AMI trial

Abstract: Among patients with STEMI undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention, adverse events are markedly increased in those with LVEF <40% during the index revascularization procedure. Nevertheless, these high-risk patients experience substantial clinical benefits from bivalirudin and PES.

“…First, the strongest predictor of POCE and TLF in our study was decreased cardiac systolic function, which is a traditional risk factor for increased mortality in AMI patients undergoing PCI [33,34]. This result was in contrast to that of the study by Park et al, in which chronic renal failure was the strongest predictor of TLF [17], and this discrepancy might be attributed to the difference in study populations between the two studies.…”

“…On the other hand, an impaired LV systolic function is an established marker of short and long‐term adverse clinical outcome after acute MI . In the recent HORIZON‐AMI trial, STEMI patients with impaired LVEF had significantly higher 1‐year MACE compared to patients with normal LV function even after adjustment for baseline characteristics . A high level of CEC does not necessarily indicate increased functional regenerative activity of these cells.…”

“…[28][29][30] In the recent HORIZON-AMI trial, STEMI patients with impaired LVEF had significantly higher 1-year MACE compared to patients with normal LV function even after adjustment for baseline characteristics. 31 A high level of CEC does not necessarily indicate increased functional regenerative activity of these cells. In vitro assays demonstrate that EPCs isolated from STEMI patients with high Killip score have lower angiogenic potential compared to patients with a low Killip score and normal control subjects.…”

“…Despite the widespread adoption of mechanical reperfusion for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and the use of optimal medical therapy, the medium‐to‐long term mortality remains as high as 7–12% . Impaired left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) following AMI is a powerful predictor of mortality as well as morbidity and increased risk of hospitalization for heart failure . These realities have fuelled the search for novel therapies to improve cardiac function following AMI.…”
