    • Aims: Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) has been proposed as an important pathophysiological mechanism in Takotsubo syndrome (TTS). Our aims were (i) to evaluate and compare levels of CMD in patients with TTS and patients with ischaemia and no obstructive coronary arteries (INOCA) and (ii) to investigate associations between CMD and clinical parameters, left ventricular function, and coronary atherosclerosis in TTS. Methods and results: We conducted a prospective study of 27 female TTS patients and an equally sized, age- and gender-matched, cohort of INOCA patients. Coronary microvascular function was quantified invasively using the index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR), coronary flow reserve (CFR), and resistive reserve ratio (RRR). CMD was defined as IMR ≥ 25 and/or CFR ≤ 2. In the TTS patients, left ventricular function was assessed with echocardiography and cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging, and coronary atherosclerosis was visualized with intravascular ultrasound with near-infrared spectroscopy (IVUS-NIRS). The incidence of CMD was higher in the TTS patients than in the INOCA cohort (78% vs. 44%, P = 0.01), with higher IMR (30 vs. 14, P = 0.002), lower CFR (1.8 vs. 2.8, P = 0.009), and lower RRR (2.1 vs. 3.5, P = 0.003). In apical compared with midventricular TTS, IMR was numerically higher (50 vs. 28, P = 0.20), whereas CFR and RRR were lower (1.5 vs. 2.5, P = 0.003 and 1.6 vs. 2.7, P = 0.01, respectively). Global longitudinal strain and global circumferential strain, assessed with CMR imaging, were more impaired in apical than in midventricular TTS (−11 vs. −14, P < 0.001 and −12 vs. −15, P = 0.049, respectively). In the TTS patients, CFR and RRR correlated with echocardiography-derived (R2 = 0.15, P = 0.002 and R2 = 0.18, P = 0.007, respectively) and CMR-derived (R2 = 0.09, P = 0.025 and R2 = 0.10, P = 0.038, respectively) ejection fraction. CFR and RRR correlated inversely with CMR-derived end-diastolic volume index, end-systolic volume index, and left ventricular mass index. IMR, CFR, and RRR were not associated with measures of coronary atherosclerosis derived by IVUS-NIRS. Conclusions: Coronary microvascular dysfunction is common in patients with TTS and more frequent than in patients with INOCA. CMD in TTS is more severe in the apical compared with the midventricular phenotype of the syndrome, is associated with left ventricular function, but is unrelated to coronary atherosclerosis. Our results support the notion of CMD as a key mediator in TTS.

  • Increased Inflammatory Activity in Patients 3 Months after Myocardial Infarction with Nonobstructive Coronary Arteries
  • 2019
  • Ingår i: Clinical Chemistry. - : AMER ASSOC CLINICAL CHEMISTRY. - 0009-9147 .- 1530-8561. ; 65:8, s. 1023-1030

    • BACKGROUND: Around 5%-10% of patients with myocardial infarction (MI) present with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA). We aimed to assess pathophysiological mechanisms in MINOCA by extensively evaluating cardiovascular biomarkers in the stable phase after an event, comparing MINOCA patients with cardiovascular healthy controls and MI patients with obstructive coronary artery disease (MI-CAD).METHODS: Ninety-one biomarkers were measured with a proximity extension assay 3 months after MI in 97 MINOCA patients, 97 age-and sex-matched MI-CAD patients, and 98 controls. Lasso analyses (penalized logistic regression models) and adjusted multiple linear regression models were used for statistical analyses.RESULTS: In the Lasso analysis (MINOCA vs MI-CAD), 8 biomarkers provided discriminatory value: P-selectin glycoprotein ligand 1, C-X-C motif chemokine 1, TNF-related activation-induced cytokine, and pappalysin-1 (PAPPA) with increasing probabilities of MINOCA, and tissue-type plasminogen activator, B-type natriuretic peptide, myeloperoxidase, and interleukin-1 receptor antagonist protein with increasing probabilities of MI-CAD. Comparing MINOCA vs controls, 7 biomarkers provided discriminatory value: N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide, renin, NF-kappa-B essential modulator, PAPPA, interleukin-6, and soluble urokinase plasminogen activator surface receptor with increasing probabilities of MINOCA, and agouti-related protein with increasing probabilities of controls. Adjusted multiple linear regression analyses showed that group affiliation was associated with the concentrations of 7 of the 8 biomarkers in the comparison MINOCA vs MI-CAD and 5 of the 7 biomarkers in MINOCA vs controls.CONCLUSIONS: Three months after the MI, the biomarker concentrations indicated greater inflammatory activity in MINOCA patients than in both MI-CAD patients and healthy controls, and a varying degree of myocardial dysfunction among the 3 cohorts.

  • Personality Traits in Patients with Myocardial Infarction with Nonobstructive Coronary Arteries.
  • 2019
  • Ingår i: The American journal of medicine. - : Elsevier BV. - 1555-7162 .- 0002-9343. ; 132:3, s. 374-381

    • The purpose of this study was to describe type A behavior pattern and trait anger in patients with myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) and compare them with patients with coronary heart disease and healthy controls. Type A behavior pattern and anger have been linked to coronary heart disease in previous studies. This is the first study to assess type A behavior pattern and trait anger in MINOCA patients.One hundred MINOCA patients, consecutively recruited during 2007-2011 at 5 coronary care units in Stockholm, were matched for sex and age to 100 coronary heart disease patients and 100 healthy controls. All participants completed the Bortner Rating Scale to quantify type A behavior pattern and the Spielberger Trait Anger Scale to quantify anger 3 months after the acute event.MINOCA patients' Bortner Rating Scale score was 70.9 ± 10.8 (mean ± SD) and Spielberger Trait Anger Scale score was 14 (12-17) (median; interquartile range). Coronary heart disease patients' Bortner Rating Scale score was 70.5 ± 10.2 and Spielberger Trait Anger Scale score was 14 (12-17). Healthy controls' Bortner Rating Scale score was 71.9 ± 9.1 and Spielberger Trait Anger Scale score was 13 (11-16).We found no significant differences in Bortner Rating Scale score and Spielberger Trait Anger Scale score among MINOCA, coronary heart disease patients, and healthy controls, regardless of whether total scores, subscales, or cutoffs were used to classify type A behavior pattern and trait anger. However, we cannot exclude the existence of an occasional episode of anger or mental stress in relation to the coronary event. This is the first study to assess type A behavior pattern and trait anger in patients with MINOCA, and future studies need to confirm the current findings before any firm conclusions can be made.

  • Antiphospholipid antibodies in patients with myocardial infarction with and without obstructive coronary arteries
  • 2022
  • Ingår i: Journal of Internal Medicine. - : Wiley. - 0954-6820 .- 1365-2796. ; 291:3, s. 327-337
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Background: Recent studies demonstrate that prothrombotic antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) are overrepresented in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) due to coronary artery disease (MICAD). However, it is not known whether aPL differ between the two subsets of MI: MICAD and MI with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA). Objectives: To determine whether aPL are associated with MINOCA or MICAD, or with hypercoagulability as assessed by activated protein C–protein C inhibitor (APC–PCI) complex. Methods: Well-characterized patients with MINOCA (n = 98), age- and gender-matched patients with MICAD (n = 99), and healthy controls (n = 100) were included in a cross-sectional case–control study. Autoantibodies (IgA/G/M) targeting cardiolipin and β2glycoprotein-I and specific nuclear antigens were analyzed by multiplexed bead technology. The concentration of APC–PCI was determined as a measure of hypercoagulability by an immunofluorometric sandwich assay. Results: Both prevalence and titers of aPL of the IgG isotype (anti-cardiolipin and/or anti-β2glycoprotein-I) were higher in patients with MINOCA and MICAD than in controls. aPL IgG positivity was twice as frequent among patients with MICAD than MINOCA (11% vs. 6%, nonsignificant). We observed no group differences regarding aPL IgA/M or antibodies targeting specific nuclear antigens. Levels of APC–PCI were elevated in aPL IgG-positive compared to aPL IgG-negative MICAD patients. Conclusions: aPL IgG, but not IgA/M, are enriched particularly in patients with MICAD but also in patients with MINOCA, as compared to controls. Interestingly, signs of hypercoagulability—measured by increased levels of the APC–PCI complex—were present in aPL IgG-positive MICAD patients, indicating an association with functional disturbances of the coagulation system.
