AIMS: While heart failure (HF) symptoms are associated with adverse prognosis after myocardial infarction (MI), they are not routinely used for patients' stratification. The primary objective of this study was to develop and validate a score to predict mortality risk after MI, combining remotely recorded HF symptoms and clinical risk factors, and to compare it against the guideline-recommended Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) score. METHODS AND RESULTS: A cohort study design using prospectively collected data from consecutive patients hospitalized for MI at a large tertiary heart centre between June 2017 and September 2022 was used. Data from 1135 patients (aged 64 ± 12 years, 26.7% women), were split into derivation (70%) and validation cohort (30%). Components of the 23-item Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire and clinical variables were used as possible predictors. The best model included the following variables: age, HF history, admission creatinine and heart rate, ejection fraction at hospital discharge, and HF symptoms 1 month after discharge including walking impairment, leg swelling, and change in HF symptoms. Based on these variables, the PragueMi score was developed. In the validation cohort, the PragueMi score showed superior discrimination to the GRACE score for 6 months [the area under the receiver operating curve (AUC) 90.1, 95% confidence interval (CI) 81.8-98.4 vs. 77.4, 95% CI 62.2-92.5, P = 0.04) and 1-year risk prediction (AUC 89.7, 95% CI 83.5-96.0 vs. 76.2, 95% CI 64.7-87.7, P = 0.004). CONCLUSION: The PragueMi score combining HF symptoms and clinical variables performs better than the currently recommended GRACE score.

Cílem předkládaného přehledového článku je poukázat na zásadní vliv zánětu při vzniku a komplikacích arteriální hypertenze i kardiovaskulárních onemocnění. Použití specifické protizánětlivé terapie, jako je kanakinumab nebo kolchicin, sice snižuje kardiovaskulární riziko, ale zvyšuje riziko infekčních komplikací. Ovlivnění tradičních rizikových faktorů, jako je arteriální hypertenze, dyslipidemie, obezita a kouření, nabízí bezpečnou cestu snížení kardiovaskulárního rizika a systémo - vého zánětu. V oblasti antihypertenzní terapie ACEi vynikají ve schopnosti redukovat systémový zánět. Protože arteriální hypertenze i systémový zánět vedou k cévnímu a orgánovému poškození, je důležité neodkládat nasazení antihypertenzní terapie a včas dosáhnout kontroly krevního tlaku.
The aim of this review article is to highlight the crucial impact of inflammation on the development and complications of arterial hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. The use of specific anti-inflammatory therapies, such as canakinumab or colchicine, indeed reduces cardiovascular risk but also increases the risk of infectious complications. Addressing traditional risk factors, such as arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity, and smoking, offers a safe pathway to reduce cardiovascular risk and systemic inflammation. In the realm of antihypertensive therapy, ACE inhibitors excel in their ability to reduce systemic inflammation. Since both arterial hypertension and systemic inflammation lead to vascular and organ damage, it is important to initiate antihypertensive therapy without delay and achieve early blood pressure control.

I přes významné pokroky v léčbě a sekundární prevenci infarktu myokardu (IM) zůstává kardiovaskulární riziko pacientů po IM vysoké. Za zvýšené riziko je z velké části odpovědná nedostatečná kontrola rizikových faktorů a absence změny životního stylu. Cílem kardiorehabilitace po IM je ovlivnit uvedené rizikové faktory. V současné době chybí nákladově-efektivní a dostupné nástroje kardiorehabilitace. Použití nositelné elektroniky může zvýšit dlouhodobou efektivitu a dostupnost intervence. Pro nedostatek dat o účinnosti ale nejsou telemedicínské programy běžně používány. Prvním cílem projektu proto bude ověřit, jak může použití chytrých hodinek zlepšit funkční kapacitu a kontrolu rizikových faktorů. Dalším problémem pacientů po IM je srdeční selhání, které je často diagnostikováno pozdě. To zhoršuje prognózu pacientů a zvyšuje finanční nároky na léčbu. Proto dalším cílem projektu bude ověřit schopnost námi vytvořeného ambulantního dotazníku (Prague Heart Failure Probability Questionnaire) predikovat riziko vzniku srdečního selhání po IM.; Despite significant advances in treatment and secondary prevention of myocardial infarction (MI), the cardiovascular risk of post-MI patients remains high. Increased risk is largely due to insufficient control of risk factors and lack of lifestyle change. The aim of cardiorehabilitation is to influence these risk factors. However, there are currently no cost-effective and widely available tools of cardiorehabilitation. Using wearable electronics can increase long-term effectiveness and availability of the intervention. But, these methods are currently not recommended due to paucity of clinical data. Therefore, the first goal of the project will be to verify how the use of smart watches can improve functional capacity and control of risk factors. Another issue in patients after IM is heart failure, which is often diagnosed at advanced stage. This aggravates patient prognosis and increases financial costs. Therefore, another goal of the project will be to verify the ability of a new ambulatory questionnaire (Prague Heart Failure Probability Questionnaire), that was developed by our group, to predict the risk of heart failure.

BACKGROUND: Heart failure is a common complication after myocardial infarction (MI) and is associated with increased mortality. Whether remote heart failure symptoms assessment after MI can improve risk stratification is unknown. The authors evaluated the association of the 23-item Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) with all-cause mortality after MI. METHODS AND RESULTS: Prospectively collected data from consecutive patients hospitalized for MI at a large tertiary heart center between June 2017 and September 2022 were used. Patients remotely completed the KCCQ 1 month after discharge. A total of 1135 (aged 64±12 years, 26.7% women) of 1721 eligible patients completed the KCCQ. Ranges of KCCQ scores revealed that 30 (2.6%), 114 (10.0%), 274 (24.1%), and 717 (63.2%) had scores <25, 25 to 49, 50 to 74, and ≥75, respectively. During a mean follow-up of 46 months (interquartile range, 29-61), 146 (12.9%) died. In a fully adjusted analysis, KCCQ scores <50 were independently associated with mortality (hazard ratio [HR], 6.05 for KCCQ <25, HR, 2.66 for KCCQ 25-49 versus KCCQ ≥50; both P<0.001). Adding the 30-day KCCQ to clinical risk factors improved risk stratification: change in area under the curve of 2.6 (95% CI, 0.3-5.0), Brier score of -0.6 (95% CI, -1.0 to -0.2), and net reclassification improvement of 0.71 (95% CI, 0.45-1.04). KCCQ items most strongly associated with mortality were walking impairment, leg swelling, and change in symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: Remote evaluation of heart failure symptoms using the KCCQ among patients recently discharged for MI identifies patients at risk for mortality. Whether closer follow-up and targeted therapy can reduce mortality in high-risk patients warrants further study.

AIMS: Recent advances in therapy led to a significant decrease in mortality and morbidity after myocardial infarction (MI). However, little is known about quality of life (QoL) after MI. We examined heart failure (HF)-related quality-of-life (QoL) impairment, its trajectories, and determinants after MI. METHODS: Data from a single-center prospectively designed registry of consecutive patients hospitalized for MI at a large tertiary cardiology center were utilized. At 1 month and 1 year after hospital discharge, patients completed the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ). RESULTS: In total, 850 patients (aged 65 ± 12 years, 27% female) hospitalized between June 2017 and October 2020 completed KCCQ at 1 month after discharge. Of these, 38.7% showed HF-related QoL impairment (KCCQ ≤ 75). In addition to characteristics of MI (MI size, diuretics need, heart rate), comorbidities as renal dysfunction and anemia were associated with QoL impairment. Of the 673 eligible, 500 patients (74.3%) completed KCCQ at 1 year after MI. On average, QoL improved by 5.9 ± 16.8 points during the first year after MI (p < 0.001); but, in 18% of patients QoL worsened. Diabetes control and hemoglobin level at the time of hospitalization were associated with QoL worsening. CONCLUSION: Two out of 5 patients after MI present with HF-related QoL impairment. In addition to guideline-directed MI management, careful attention to key non-cardiac comorbidities as chronic kidney disease, anemia and diabetes may lead to further augmentation of the benefit of modern therapies in terms of QoL.

Background The hypocretin/orexin system has been shown to play a role in heart failure. Whether it also influences myocardial infarction (MI) outcomes is unknown. We evaluated the effect of the rs7767652 minor allele T associated with decreased transcription of the hypocretin/orexin receptor-2 and circulating orexin A concentrations on mortality risk after MI. Methods and Results Data from a single-center, prospectively designed registry of consecutive patients hospitalized for MI at a large tertiary cardiology center were analyzed. Patients without previous history of MI or heart failure were included. A random population sample was used to compare allele frequencies in the general population. Out of 1009 patients (aged 64±12 years, 74.6% men) after MI, 6.1% were homozygotes (TT) and 39.4% heterozygotes (CT) for minor allele. Allele frequencies in the MI group did not differ from 1953 subjects from general population (χ2P=0.62). At index hospitalization, MI size was the same, but ventricular fibrillation and the need for cardiopulmonary resuscitation were more prevalent in the TT allele variant. Among patients with ejection fraction ≤40% at discharge, the TT variant was associated with a lower increase in left ventricular ejection fraction during follow-up (P=0.03). During the 27-month follow-up, there was a statistically significant association of the TT variant with increased mortality risk (hazard ratio [HR], 2.83; P=0.001). Higher circulating orexin A was associated with a lower mortality risk (HR, 0.41; P<0.05). Conclusions Attenuation of hypocretin/orexin signaling is associated with increased mortality risk after MI. This effect may be partially explained by the increased arrhythmic risk and the effect on the left ventricular systolic function recovery.
