- There are limited data on bivalirudin monotherapy in patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS) with positive biomarkers of myocardial necrosis (troponin and/or creatine kinase-myocardial band isoenzyme). We sought to evaluate the safety and efficacy of bivalirudin monotherapy in patients with positive biomarkers from the Acute Catheterization and Urgent Intervention Triage Strategy (ACUITY) trial.We compared the net adverse clinical events [composite ischemia - (death, myocardial infarction, or unplanned ischemic revascularization) - or noncoronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG)-related major bleeding] among patients with biomarker-positive NSTE-ACS in the ACUITY trial overall and by antithrombotic strategy.Among 13 819 patients with NSTE-ACS enrolled in ACUITY, 4728 patients presented with positive biomarkers and underwent an early invasive strategy. Of those, 1547 were randomized to heparin plus a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor (GPI), 1555 to bivalirudin plus GPI, and 1626 to bivalirudin monotherapy. Compared with biomarker-negative patients, biomarker-positive patients had higher 30-day rates of net adverse clinical events (14.0 vs. 12.4%; P = 0.04), all-cause death (1.3 vs. 0.5%; P = 0.001), cardiac death (1.1 vs. 0.5%; P = 0.005), and non-CABG-related major bleeding (6.5 vs. 5.2%, P = 0.03). At 30 days, bivalirudin monotherapy was associated with significantly less non-CABG-related major bleeding (bivalirudin monotherapy 4.1% vs. bivalirudin plus GPI 8.4% vs. heparin plus GPI 7.1%) with comparable rates of composite ischemia (bivalirudin monotherapy 9.2% vs. bivalirudin plus GPI 9.9% vs. heparin plus GPI 8.4%). In a multivariable model, bivalirudin monotherapy was associated with a significant reduction in non-CABG-related major bleeding but was not associated with an increased risk of death, myocardial infarction, unplanned revascularization or stent thrombosis.Compared with heparin plus GPI or bivalirudin plus GPI, bivalirudin monotherapy provides similar protection from ischemic events with less major bleeding at 30 days among patients with NSTE-ACS and positive biomarkers.

- There are limited data on the predictors of death or heart failure hospitalization (HFH) in patients with heart failure (HF) with functional mitral regurgitation (FMR).The aim of this study was to develop a predictive risk score using the COAPT (Cardiovascular Outcomes Assessment of the MitraClip Percutaneous Therapy for Heart Failure Patients With Functional Mitral Regurgitation) trial database.In COAPT, 614 symptomatic patients with HF and moderate to severe or severe FMR were randomized to MitraClip implantation plus guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) or GDMT alone. A risk score for the 2-year rate of death or HFH was generated from Cox proportional hazards models. The predictive value of the model was assessed using the area under the curve of receiver-operating characteristic plots. Kaplan-Meier curves were generated to estimate the proportion of patients experiencing death or HFH across quartiles of risk.During 2-year follow-up, 201 patients (64.4%) in the GDMT-alone group and 133 patients (44.0%) in the MitraClip group experienced death or HFH (P < 0.001). A risk score containing 4 clinical variables (New York Heart Association functional class, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, atrial fibrillation or flutter, and chronic kidney disease) and 4 echocardiographic variables (left ventricular ejection fraction, left ventricular end-systolic dimension, right ventricular systolic pressure, and tricuspid regurgitation) in addition to MitraClip treatment was generated. The area under the curve of the risk score model was 0.74, and excellent calibration was present. The relative benefit of MitraClip therapy in reducing the 2-year hazard of death or HFH was consistent across the range of baseline risk.A simple risk score of clinical, echocardiographic, and treatment variables may provide useful prognostication in patients with HF and severe FMR.
