    Abstract Background: There has been an increase in Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) patients without standard modifiable risk factors i.e. hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and tobacco use (SMuRFless) compared to the patients with ≥ 1 SMuRF but this has not been studied in South Asia despite them being a high-risk population. We conducted a comparative analysis of first episodes of ACS cases admitted to a tertiary cardiac center in Pakistan between SMuRFless and ≥ 1 SMuRF patients for clinical presentation, management, in-hospital, and 5-year mortality.
    Methods: We undertook a retrospective study and data of 15,051 patients admitted at Tabba Heart Institute (THI) with the first episode of ACS was extracted from Chest Pain-MI™, and the CathPCI Registry® registry affiliated with the National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR®), USA. Logistic regression and Cox proportional algorithm yielded odds ratio (OR) and hazard ratios (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) for associated factors of in-patient and 5-year mortality.
    Results: There were 15% SMuRFless cases and in-hospital mortality was 4.1% in SMuRFless vs. 3.9% in the ≥ 1 SMuRF group (p-0.59), the difference remained insignificant after adjusting for age, gender, Killip class, multivessel disease, type of ACS, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) (Adjusted OR:1.1 [0.8, 1.3]. Unadjusted 5-year mortality was 40% lower in the SMuRFless group but the difference was insignificant after adjusting for age, gender, disease at presentation, its severity, and management (Adjusted HR 0.7 95% CI[0.5, 1.0]). STEMI, NSTEMI, Killip class, and multivessel disease increased the risk of overall 5-year mortality.
    Conclusion: In-hospital and 5-year mortality was not different between the SMuRFless and ≥ 1 SMuRF group, there is a need to understand mediators of immediate and long-term mortality risk in SMuRFless patients.

    Abstract Objective: To assess immediate outcome and complications of Amplatzer septal occluder percutaneous device for closure of secundum atrial septal defect in adults, and to determine regression in right ventricular size, reduced pulmonary arterial systolic pressure and incidence of device embolization at follow-up.
    Methods: The single-cohort, ambi-directional, observational study was conducted at the Tabba Heart Institute, Karachi, from January 2013 to July 2018, and comprised patients admitted consecutively for percutaneous atrial septal defect closure. Pre-closure trans-oesophageal echocardiogram was performed in all cases to ensure adequacy of defect margins necessary for device stability. Immediate procedure success and complications were determined by trans-oesophageal echocardiogram, while transthoracic echo was done on follow-up. Data was analysed using SPSS 21.
    Results: Of the 64 patients, 41(71.9%) were females. The overall mean age was 36.6±14 years. Median size of atrial septal defect was 21mm (interquartile range: 17-26mm). Immediate success was observed in 59(92.2%) patients, and there were 5(8%) acute device embolization events. Small residual atrial septal defect was found in 4(6.3%) cases. On 20-month follow-up, 54(84.4%) patients showed improved symptoms. Repeat transthoracic echo was performed in 39(60.1%) cases, and there were no late embolic events or residual atrial septal defect. Right ventricular size normalized in 34(89.5%) cases, mean pulmonary arterial systolic pressure reduced significantly compared to pre-closure measurement (p<0.001).
    Conclusions: Percutaneous atrial septal defect closure was found to be safe and effective in adults with secundum atrial septal defect. Timely closure resulted in improved symptoms, right ventricular remodelling and reduced pulmonary arterial systolic pressure at intermediate-term follow-up.

    Abstract Pseudo thrombocytopenia is the estimation of low platelet counts by a Haematology analyzer despite of shortage in platelets. EDTA-induced pseudo thrombocytopenia, commonly seen in clinical practice, occurs mainly due to the anti-platelet antibodies. Pseudo thrombocytopenia is seen in normal healthy individuals and other disorders like cardiovascular, liver, autoimmune diseases and malignancy. We are presenting a case of multi-coagulant resistant dependent thrombocytopenia. The purpose of this letter is to review approaches to pseudo thrombocytopenia. The case has coagulant resistant dependent thrombocytopenia in association with Anasarca and was a known case of cardiomyopathy with severely dilated left atrium, left ventricle and right atrium.

    Abstract Purpose of review: This narrative review seeks to elucidate clinical and social factors influencing cardiovascular health, explore the challenges and potential solutions for enhancing cardiovascular health, and identify areas where further research is needed to better understand cardiovascular issues in native and American Pakistani populations.
    Recent findings: The prevalence of cardiometabolic disease is high not only in Pakistan but also among its global diaspora. This situation is further complicated by the inadequacy of current cardiovascular risk assessment tools, which often fall short of accurately gauging the risk among Pakistani individuals, underscoring the urgent need for more tailored and effective assessment methodologies. Moreover, social determinants play a crucial role in shaping cardiovascular health. The burden of cardiovascular disease and upstream risk factors is high among American Pakistani individuals. Future research is needed to better understand the heightened risk of cardiovascular disease among Pakistani individuals.

    Abstract Introduction Stent thrombosis (ST) is a serious and potentially life-threatening complication of primary or complex high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Multiple factors are said to precipitate ST, related to the patient's clinical comorbidities, lesion characteristics, operative technique, and post-procedural care. The older-generation stents were thought to be involved in early ST. Though the new generation of drug-eluting stents decreases the incidence of early and late ST, patients are still at risk of very late stent thrombosis (VLST). Objective To evaluate the frequency, risk factors, and outcomes of definite ST in developing and resource-constrained countries like Pakistan, where PCIs, including primary PCI, complex PCI, and PCI in high-risk populations, are performed routinely. Methods This observational cross-sectional study included all patients who underwent primary and complex high PCI between 2012 and 2017 at TABBA Heart Institute (THI), Karachi, Pakistan. Results We included a total of 6587 patients in our study, and among the enrolled sample size, 22 (0.33%) had definite ST. Acute stent thrombosis (AST) was found in seven patients, sub-acute stent thrombosis (SAST) in 10, late stent thrombosis (LST) in two, and VLST were observed in three patients. The basic characteristics of our study ST population were as follows: mean age was 58 years, 95.5% were male, 4.5% were female, nine patients (40%) had diabetes mellitus, 15 patients (68%) had hypertension, 11 (50%) had dyslipidemia, and four patients were smokers (18%). Conclusion The frequency, risk factors, and rate of mortality of definite ST in the Pakistani population who underwent primary and complex high-risk PCI reflect nearly equal statistics observed in other studies. As seen in other international studies, the incidence rate of VLST was higher in our population.

    Abstract Background and objective Transradial access (TRA) has become the preferred route for percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), and this site is often a chink in the armor for staged PCI. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the incidence and predictors of radial artery occlusion (RAO) after TRA. Methods We conducted a retrospective study involving 1,307 patients who underwent PCI at the Tabba Heart Institute (THI) in Karachi, Pakistan from August 2018 to June 2019. TR band was used for hemostasis after PCI. Results The primary outcome of our study was RAO, which was observed in 11.3% of the study subjects. On multivariate analysis, female gender [odds ratio (OR): 1.79, 95% CI: 1.21-2.64], cardiovascular instability (OR: 2.5, 95% CI: 1.22-5.11), dyslipidemia (OR: 0.61, 95% CI: 0.4-0.92), and a higher number of diseased vessels were found to be predictors of RAO (p=0.004). Conclusion RAO is often an asymptomatic complication of TRA. To ensure radial artery patency, a carefully thought-out management plan and follow-up must be devised for high-risk patients.

    Abstract Objective: To calculate the frequency and distribution of occluded coronary artery in patients with recent non-ST elevation myocardial infarction undergoing coronary angiography, and to compare major adverse cardiovascular events during hospitalisation with patients suffering from non-occluded coronary artery.
    Methods: The cross-sectional analytical study was conducted at Tabba Heart Institute, Karachi, from July2013 to March 2014. Patients of both gender and all ages undergoing angiography with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction were included. Data on patient demographics, angiographic findings and in-hospital complications was collected. Frequency of occluded vessels and their distribution was reported. Multivariate logistic regression modelling was used to examine variables associated with an occluded coronary artery in non-ST elevation myocardial infarction. Major adverse cardiovascular events were compared between patients of occluded and non-occluded coronary aetery. A two sided p-value of < 0.05 was taken as significant.
    Results: In 703 patients studied, occluded coronary artery was present in 277(39%). Predictors of having an occluded coronary artery were increasing age (57.6±11.2 vs. 60.0±10.0; p: 0.03) and low left ventricular ejection fraction (43.9±12.2 vs. 50.1±10.1; p: 0.000). There was no significant difference in terms of major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with occluded and non-occluded coronary arteries (Hazard Ratio: 0.53, 95% confidence interval: 0.14-1.98; p=0.33).
    Conclusions: Totally occluded coronary vessel is a frequent finding in non-ST elevation myocardial infarction, highlighting the need for angiography and re-vascularisation to salvage at-risk myocardium in selected patients.

    Abstract Introduction: Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is a major cause of morbidity, mortality and health expenditures worldwide. Despite having higher ASCVD in the Pakistani population, data on subclinical coronary atherosclerosis in young Pakistanis remain scarce. The PAKistan Study of prEmature coronary atHerosclerosis in young AdulTs (PAK-SEHAT) aims to assess the prevalence, severity and determinants of subclinical coronary atherosclerosis among Pakistani men (35-60 years) and women (35-65 years) free of clinically symptomatic ASCVD and will assess 5-year rates of ASCVD events.
    Methods and analysis: PAK-SEHAT is an ongoing prospective cohort study with 2000 participants from all provinces of Pakistan who will be interviewed at the baseline along with phlebotomy, measurement of carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and coronary CT angiography (CCTA). Phlebotomy will be repeated at 2.5 years, whereas CIMT and CCTA will be repeated at 5 years. We will report the frequency of maximal coronary stenosis ≥50% and ≥70%, number of coronary vessels with plaque and the number of coronary segments affected per participant on CCTA. We will use Cox proportional hazards regression models to evaluate the association between baseline characteristics and incident ASCVD events during follow-up. These associations will be presented as HRs with 95% CIs.
    Ethics and dissemination: The study protocol was approved by the Tabba Heart Institute Institutional Review Board (THI/IRB/FQ/22-09-2021/016). All study procedures are consistent with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. Findings of the study will be disseminated via peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations.
