    Abstract Objectives: Perceptions towards advanced care planning (ACP) amongst individuals with Ischemic Heart Disease before or after a life-threatening Acute Myocardial Infarction event is underexamined and could impact the appropriate timing for ACP advocacy. This cross-sectional study assessed awareness and intentions regarding ACP in individuals with Ischemic Heart Disease, both before and after an Acute Myocardial Infarction, and explored the motivating effect of a near-fatal Acute Myocardial Infarction event on its engagement.
    Methods: This study was conducted from 24 August 2021 through 13 March 2023, whereby patients were administered a one-time questionnaire with no follow-up required. Patients with either chronic Ischemic Heart Disease (group A) or a recent Acute Myocardial Infarction event (group B) were recruited from the outpatient National University Heart Centre, Singapore.
    Results: 101 patients (n = 51 for Group A, n = 50 for Group B) were recruited. Mean age (SD) was 59 (10.5) years and 84 were male (83.2%). Between both groups, patients in group B reported significantly higher scores on 'Lack of information' and 'Self-efficacy' domains, and had no ACP awareness nor plans of doing an ACP compared to group A. ACP awareness was the sole significant predictor of intentions of doing an ACP in the final regression model (
    Conclusions: Interestingly, this study suggests that surviving a potentially life-threatening heart condition did not result in higher intention of doing an ACP. Thus, advocacy of ACP in the community should simply start by raising awareness levels widely and may not need to be focused on individuals' state of health.

    Abstract Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the impact of anaemia on long-term clinical outcomes in patients who underwent semi-urgent and elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in an Asian population. Although the effects of anaemia on outcomes in Asian patients are well studied for acute coronary syndrome, its impact on Asian patients undergoing semi-urgent and elective PCI is unclear.
    Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent semi-urgent and elective PCI from January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2015, at a tertiary academic centre. A total of 1,685 patients were included. They were stratified into three groups: normal (≥12 g/dL), intermediate (10-11.9 g/dL), and low (<10 g/dL) haemoglobin levels. Demographics, risk factors, and end-points including the 5-point major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) (all-cause death, subsequent stroke, myocardial infarction, congestive cardiac failure, and target lesion revascularisation), cardiovascular death, and bleeding events were analysed.
    Results: Patients in intermediate and low haemoglobin level groups were older with more comorbidities. Compared to the normal haemoglobin level group, low haemoglobin level group patients were associated with an increased risk of composite endpoints of all-cause death, subsequent stroke, myocardial infarction, congestive cardiac failure, and target lesion revascularisation [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) 1.89, 95% confidence interval (CI):1.22, 2.92;
    Conclusion: In our Asian cohort, patients with anaemia undergoing PCI were associated with a higher comorbid burden. Despite adjustments for comorbidities, these patients had higher mortality and worse cardiovascular outcomes following contemporary PCI.

    Abstract Background: Ischaemic heart disease remains the main cause of death in the world. With increasing age, frailty and comorbidities, senior patients aged 80 years old and above who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are at higher risk of mortality and other complications.
    Aims: We aimed to examine the overall outcomes for this group of patients.
    Methods: Four databases (PUBMED, EMBASE, SCOPUS and CENTRAL) were searched. Studies with patients aged 80 years old and above who underwent PCI for all indications were included. Pooled outcomes of all-cause death, cardiac death, in-hospital death, subsequent stroke/transient ischaemic attack (TIA), subsequent myocardial infarction (MI), subsequent congestive cardiac failure (CCF), and overall major adverse cardiac events (MACE) were obtained for meta-analysis.
    Results: From 2,566,004 patients, the pooled cumulative incidence of death was 19.22%, cardiac death was 7.78%, in-hospital death was 7.16%, subsequent stroke/TIA was 1.54%, subsequent MI was 3.58%, subsequent CCF was 4.74%, and MACE was 17.51%. The mortality rate of all patients was high when followed up for 3 years (33.27%). ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients had more outcomes of in-hospital death (14.24% vs 4.89%), stroke/TIA (1.93% vs 0.12%), MI (3.68 vs 1.55%) and 1-year mortality (26.16% vs 13.62%), when compared to non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients.
    Conclusions: There was a high mortality rate at 1 year and 3 years post-PCI in the overall population of senior patients aged 80 years old and above, regardless of indication. This necessitates further studies to explore the implications of these observations.

    Abstract Objective: To investigate the incidence, risk factors, and association with cardiovascular outcomes of patients who developed symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) after non-emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
    Methods: We conducted a single-institution retrospective study of patients who developed symptomatic ICH after non-emergency PCI. To identify associations between clinical variables and outcomes, Cox-proportional hazards regression models were constructed. Outcomes analyzed include (1) all-cause mortality, (2) acute ischemic stroke (AIS) or transient ischemic attack (TIA), and (3) major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).
    Results: A total of 1,732 patients were included in the analysis. The mean (±SD) age was 61.1 (±11.3) years, and 1,396 patients (80.6%) were male. The cumulative incidence of symptomatic ICH after non-emergency PCI was 1.3% (22 patients). Age, chronic kidney disease, and prior coronary artery bypass graft surgery were independently associated with a higher risk of ICH after PCI, while hyperlipidemia was independently associated with a lower risk of ICH after PCI. ICH after PCI was independently associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality and AIS or TIA after PCI.
    Conclusion: Patients who are older, who have chronic kidney disease, and who have had prior coronary artery bypass graft surgery should be monitored for symptomatic ICH after non-emergency PCI.

    Abstract In patients with significant aortic stenosis (AS), the prognostic effect of the increase in left ventricular mass (LVM) in relation to one's hemodynamic load has been described. Inappropriately high LVM has been shown to predict adverse cardiovascular events. However, little is known about the prognostic impact of inadequately low LVM (i-lowLVM) in patients with significant AS. I-lowLVM was defined as the measured LVM < 73% of the predicted LVM based on sex, stroke work and height from the reference adult population, used in previous established studies. For outcome analysis, the end-point was defined as all-cause mortality, aortic valve replacement and/or admission for congestive heart failure. Kaplan-Meier curves and multivariable Cox regression models were constructed to compare outcomes on follow-up. During the follow-up (4.5 ± 4.1 years), 132 patients (11.1%) had i-lowLVM, 868 (73.1%) had adequate-LVM, 188 (15.8%) had inappropriately high LVM. Outcome analysis only included patients with i-lowLVM and adequate-LVM (N = 1000). An adverse composite event occurred in 41.7% of the i-lowLVM group and 52.4% of the adequate-LVM group (p = 0.021). Event-free survival in patients with i-lowLVM and appropriate-LVM was 76% versus 68% at 2-year, 55% versus 46% at 4-year, 33% versus 27% at 6-year, 20% versus 17% at 8-year, and 17% versus 11% at 10-year follow-up, respectively (p < 0.001). Cox analysis revealed that i-lowLVM was independently associated with lower composite adverse outcome (HR 0.624, 95% CI 0.460-0.846, p = 0.002) after adjusting for sex, age, ejection fraction, ischemic heart disease, diabetes and transaortic valve mean gradient. In the separate Cox subanalyses, the presence of i-lowLVM remained a predictor of lower composite adverse outcome in the severe AS subgroup (HR 0.587, 95% CI 0.396-0.870, p = 0.008), and the LVH subgroup (HR 0.574, 95% CI 0.401-0.824, p = 0.003) after adjusting for confounders. I-lowLVM despite significant AS may represent a distinct group that is associated with improved survival outcomes independent of other prognostic covariates.

    Abstract This study aim to investigate if remote intensive coaching for the first 6 months post-AMI will improve adherence to the twice-a-day antiplatelet medication, ticagrelor. Between July 8, 2015, to March 29, 2019, AMI patients were randomly assigned to remote intensive management (RIM) or standard care (SC). RIM participants underwent 6 months of weekly then two-weekly consultations to review medication side effects and medication adherence coaching by a centralized nurse practitioner team, whereas SC participants received usual cardiologist face-to-face consultations. Adherence to ticagrelor were determined using pill counting and serial platelet reactivity measurements for 12 months. A total of 149 (49.5%) of participants were randomized to RIM and 152 (50.5%) to SC. Adherence to ticagrelor was similar between RIM and SC group at 1 month (94.4 ± 0.7% vs. 93.6±14.7%, p = 0.537), 6 months (91.0±14.6% vs. 90.6±14.8%, p = 0.832) and 12 months (87.4±17.0% vs. 89.8±12.5%, p = 0.688). There was also no significant difference in platelet reactivity between the RIM and SC groups at 1 month (251AU*min [212-328] vs. 267AU*min [208-351], p = 0.399), 6 months (239AU*min [165-308] vs. 235AU*min [171-346], p = 0.610) and 12 months (249AU*min [177-432] vs. 259AU*min [182-360], p = 0.678). Sensitivity analysis did not demonstrate any association of ticagrelor adherence with bleeding events and major adverse cardiovascular events. RIM, comprising 6 months of intensive coaching by nurse practitioners, did not improve adherence to the twice-a-day medication ticagrelor compared with SC among patients with AMI. A gradual decline in ticagrelor adherence over 12 months was observed despite 6 months of intensive coaching.

    Abstract Background: Paradoxical low-flow (LF) severe aortic stenosis (AS) despite preserved left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF) has been shown to be distinct from normal-flow (NF) AS, with a poorer prognosis. Relative valve load (RVL) is a novel echocardiographic haemodynamic index based on the ratio of transaortic mean pressure gradient to the global valvulo-arterial impedance (Zva) in order to estimate the contribution of the valvular afterload to the global LV load. We aimed to determine the usefulness of RVL in LF AS versus NF AS.
    Method: A total of 450 consecutive patients with medically managed severe AS (aortic valve area <1.0 cm
    Results: There were 149 (33.1%) patients with LF. Despite higher global impedance in LF (Zva 6.3±2.4 vs 3.9±0.9 mmHg/mL/m
    Conclusions: Increased systemic arterial afterload may be important in the pathophysiology of LF AS. Low RVL was an independent predictor of poor clinical outcomes in medically managed severe AS. There may be a greater role in the attenuation of systemic arterial afterload in AS to improve outcomes.
