Abstrakt: Background: We sought to evaluate the impact of prior cerebrovascular and/or peripheral arterial disease (PAD) on in-hospital outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndromes.
Methods: From 1 October 2010 to 26 February 2016, 13,904 acute coronary syndrome patients were enrolled in a national multicentre registry. They were divided into four groups: prior stroke/transient ischaemic attack (stroke/TIA); prior PAD; prior stroke/TIA and PAD; none. The endpoints included in-hospital mortality and a composite endpoint of death, re-infarction and stroke during hospitalization.
Results: 6.3% patients had prior stroke/TIA, 4.2% prior PAD and 1.4% prior stroke/TIA and PAD. Prior stroke/TIA and/or PAD patients were less likely to receive evidence-based medical therapies (dual antiplatelet therapy: stroke/TIA= 88.6%, PAD= 86.6%, stroke/TIA+PAD= 85.7%, none= 92.2%, p<0.001; β-blockers: stroke/TIA= 77.1%, PAD= 72.1%, stroke/TIA+PAD= 71.9%, none= 80.8%, p<0.001; angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockers: stroke/TIA= 86.3%, PAD= 83.6%, stroke/TIA+PAD= 83.2%, none= 87.1%, p=0.030) and to undergo percutaneous revascularization (stroke/TIA= 52.8%, PAD= 45.6%, stroke/TIA+PAD= 43.7%, none= 67.9%, p<0.001), despite more extensive coronary artery disease (three-vessel disease: stroke/TIA= 29.1%, PAD= 38.3%, stroke/TIA+PAD= 38.3%, none= 20.2%, p<0.001). In a multivariable analysis, prior stroke/TIA+PAD was a predictor of in-hospital mortality (odds ratio= 2.828, 95% confidence interval 1.001-7.990) and prior stroke/TIA (odds ratio= 1.529, 95% confidence interval 1.056-2.211), prior PAD (odds ratio= 1.618, 95% confidence interval 1.034-2.533) and both conditions (odds ratio= 3.736, 95% confidence interval 2.002-6.974) were associated with the composite endpoint.
Conclusion: A prior history of stroke/TIA and/or PAD was associated with lower use of medical therapy and coronary revascularization and with worst short-term prognosis. An individualized management may improve their poor prognosis.
