PG - 10-14 LID - 10.26442/00403660.2020.01.000140 [doi] AB - Aim of the study - to assess the effect of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) on the incidence of endothelial dysfunction (ED) and its impact on hospital prognosis in patients with ST segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a single - centre, open - label prospective study that included 173 patients with STEMI who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention within the first 24 hours of the symptoms onset. Before the PCI, patients were randomized into two groups. In the first group (n=86) during the preparation for PCI, we performed RIPC procedure by inflation of the cuff of the tonometer to 200 mm Hg and its further deflation on patient's shoulder, thus creating short cycles of controlled ischemia/reperfusion in hand (4 cycles of ischemia/reperfusion for 5/5 minutes respectively). In the second, control group (n=87), the standard primary PCI was performed without the previous RIPC. Evaluation of the endothelial function was performed on the 2-7th day after admission using the endothelium - dependent flow - mediated dilatation test (FMD) of the brachial artery. Primary endpoints in this study included the presence of ED, in - hospital mortality, life - threatening arrhythmias (ventricular fibrillation/ventricular tachycardia after first 24 hours upon admission), stent thrombosis, clinical signs of heart failure, and a combined endpoint consisting of all the listed above. RESULTS: The median values for FMD-test did not differ significantly between the study groups upon admission. Assessment of the FMD of the brachial artery on the 2-7th day after PCI showed that among the patients who underwent RIPC there was a significantly lower percentage of patients with ED than in the patients with STEMI who did not undergo RIPC before PCI (43.1% vs. 75.8% respectively, p=0.0001). We found a significant reduction in the incidence of heart failure and of combined endpoint in the group of patients without ED compared with patients with ED: 0% vs. 9.3% (n=7; p=0.023) and 3.8% (n=2) vs. 16% (n=12; p=0.032) respectively. When assessing the effect of RIPC on hospital prognosis, we also found a significant decrease in the incidence of heart failure and a trend towards a decrease in the combined endpoint in the group of patients who underwent RIPC compared to the control group: 1.5% (n=1) vs. 9.7% (n=6; p=0.045) and 6.2% (n=4) vs. 16.1% (n=10; p=0.073) respectively. CONCLUSION: Performance of RIPC before the primary PCI significantly reduces the incidence of ED in patients with STEMI on the 2-7th day of the disease onset. The presence of ED in patients with STEMI is associated with a significant increase in the incidence of heart failure and of the combined endpoint during in - hospital period. RIPC significantly reduces the incidence of heart failure in patients with STEMI during in - hospital period. FAU - Manchurov, V N AU - Manchurov VN AD - A.I.
