This study aimed to evaluate the association between plasma big ET-1 levels and long-term outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
A total of 930 patients were enrolled and followed up for a median duration of 2.3 years. According to the optimal cutoff of big ET-1 for predicting all-cause death, these patients were divided into two groups. The primary endpoints were all-cause death and net adverse clinical events (NACE). The secondary endpoints included cardiovascular death, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), BARC class ≥ 3 bleeding, and BARC class ≥ 2 bleeding. Cox regressions were performed to evaluate the association between big ET-1 and outcomes.
Based on the optimal cutoff of 0.54 pmol/l, 309 patients (33.2%) had high big ET-1 levels at baseline. Compared to the low big ET-1 group, patients in the high big ET-1 group tended to have more comorbidities, impaired cardiac function, elevated inflammatory levels, and worse prognosis. Univariable and multivariable Cox regressions indicated that big ET-1 ≥ 0.54 pmol/l was associated with increased incidences of all-cause death [HR (95%CI):1.73 (1.10-2.71), = 0.018], NACE [HR (95%CI):1.63 (1.23-2.16), = 0.001], cardiovascular death [HR (95%CI):1.72 (1.01-2.92), = 0.046], MACE [HR (95%CI):1.60 (1.19-2.16), = 0.002], BARC class ≥ 3 [HR (95%CI):2.21 (1.16-4.22), = 0.016], and BARC class ≥ 2 bleeding [HR (95%CI):1.91 (1.36-2.70), < 0.001]. Subgroup analysis indicated consistent relationships between the big ET-1 ≥ 0.54 pmol/l and the primary endpoints.
Elevated plasma big ET-1 levels were independently associated with increased risk of all-cause death, NACE, cardiovascular death, MACE, BARC class ≥ 3 bleeding, and BARC class ≥ 2 bleeding in patients with AF and ACS or undergoing PCI.
本研究旨在评估血浆大内皮素-1(big ET-1)水平与心房颤动(AF)合并急性冠状动脉综合征(ACS)患者或接受经皮冠状动脉介入治疗(PCI)患者的长期预后之间的关联。
共纳入930例患者,中位随访时间为2.3年。根据big ET-1预测全因死亡的最佳截断值,将这些患者分为两组。主要终点为全因死亡和净不良临床事件(NACE)。次要终点包括心血管死亡、主要不良心血管事件(MACE)、BARC 3级及以上出血和BARC 2级及以上出血。采用Cox回归评估big ET-1与预后之间的关联。
基于0.54 pmol/l的最佳截断值,309例患者(33.2%)基线时big ET-1水平较高。与低big ET-1组相比,高big ET-1组患者往往合并症更多、心功能受损、炎症水平升高且预后更差。单变量和多变量Cox回归表明,big ET-1≥0.54 pmol/l与全因死亡[风险比(95%置信区间):1.73(1.10 - 2.71),P = 0.018]、NACE[风险比(95%置信区间):1.63(1.23 - 2.16),P = 0.001]、心血管死亡[风险比(95%置信区间):1.72(1.01 - 2.92),P = 0.046]、MACE[风险比(95%置信区间):1.60(1.19 - 2.16),P = 0.002]、BARC 3级及以上[风险比(95%置信区间):2.21(1.16 - 4.22),P = 0.016]和BARC 2级及以上出血[风险比(95%置信区间):1.91(1.36 - 2.70),P < 0.001]的发生率增加相关。亚组分析表明,big ET-1≥0.54 pmol/l与主要终点之间存在一致的关系。
血浆big ET-1水平升高与AF合并ACS患者或接受PCI患者的全因死亡、NACE、心血管死亡、MACE、BARC 3级及以上出血和BARC 2级及以上出血风险增加独立相关。
