Five-Year Survival in Patients With ST-Segment–Elevation Myocardial Infarction According to Modalities of Reperfusion Therapy
2014
Background— Although primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) is the preferred reperfusion method for ST-segment–elevation myocardial infarction, it remains difficult to implement in many areas, and fibrinolytic therapy is still widely used. Methods and Results— We assessed 5-year mortality in patients with ST-segment–elevation myocardial infarction from the French Registry of Acute ST-Elevation or Non-ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (FAST-MI) 2005 according to use and type of reperfusion therapy. Of 1492 patients with ST-segment–elevation myocardial infarction with a first call ≤12 hours from onset, 447 (30%) received fibrinolysis (66% prehospital; 97% with subsequent angiogra…

Hospital Admissions for Acute Myocardial Infarction Before and After Lockdown According to Regional Prevalence of COVID-19 and Patient Profile
2020
Aim: to evaluate the impact of a nationwide lockdown in France on acute myocardial infarction (AMI) admissions, by patient characteristics and regional prevalence of the pandemic. Methods and Results: We collected data from 21 centres participating in the on-going FRENCHIE registry (NCT04050956), which collects data from all patients admitted for STEMI or NSTEMI within 48 hours of symptom onset. We compared weekly admissions in the 4 weeks preceding and the 4 weeks following institution of the lockdown. We observed a brutal 30% decrease in AMI admissions (24% for STEMI and 36% for NSTEMI, P=0.14) following institution of the lockdown, with similar trends according to gender (30% decrease in…
Impact of Midregional N‐Terminal Pro–Atrial Natriuretic Peptide and Soluble Suppression of Tumorigenicity 2 Levels on Heart Rhythm in Patients Treate…
2021
Background We assessed the impact of preprocedural plasma levels of MRproANP (midregional N‐terminal pro–atrial natriuretic peptide) and sST2 (soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2) on recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) at 1 year after catheter ablation of AF. Methods and Results This was a prospective, multicenter, observational study including patients undergoing catheter ablation of AF. MRproANP and sST2 were measured in a peripheral venous blood preprocedure, and MRproANP was assessed in the right and left atrial blood during ablation. The primary end point was recurrent AF between 3 and 12 months postablation, defined as a documented (>30 seconds) episode of AF, flutter, or a…
Long-Term Clinical Outcomes According to Previous Manifestations of Atherosclerotic Disease (from the FAST-MI 2010 Registry)
2017
IF 3.398; International audience; The prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has notably improved in the past 20 years. Using the French Registry of ST-Elevation and Non-ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction (FAST-MI) 2010 registry, we investigated whether previous manifestations of atherosclerotic disease (i.e., previous MI, or a history of any form of atherosclerotic disease) are at truly increased risk compared with those in whom AMI is the first manifestation of the disease. FAST-MI 2010 is a nationwide French registry including 3,079 patients with AMI, among whom 1,062 patients had a history of cardiovascular atherosclerotic disease and 498 patients had a history of …
An Original Risk Score to Predict Early Major Bleeding in Acute Pulmonary Embolism
2021
Background Improved prediction of the risk of early major bleeding in pulmonary embolism (PE) is needed to optimize acute management. Research Question Does a simple scoring system predict early major bleeding in acute PE patients, identifying patients with either high or low probability of early major bleeding? Study Design and Methods From a multicenter prospective registry including 2,754 patients, we performed post hoc multivariable logistic regression analysis to build a risk score to predict early (up to hospital discharge) major bleeding events. We validated the endpoint model internally, using bootstrapping in the derivation dataset by sampling with replacement for 500 iterations. P…
An innovative lipid-lowering approach to enhance attainment of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol goals
2020
Aims To improve attainment of LDL-cholesterol (LDL-c) targets, an expert group proposed an algorithm for lipid-lowering therapy during hospitalization for acute coronary syndrome and during follow-up. We aimed to assess adherence to this algorithm, and evaluate its impact on LDL-c levels and on attainment of therapeutic LDL-c targets in a population of post-acute coronary syndrome patients. Methods and results Prospective, observational study including patients admitted for acute coronary syndrome between February 2017 and September 2018. Patients admitted without statins or ezetimibe were considered ‘naïve’. Baseline LDL-c was admission LDL-c in naïve patients, and for those taking lipid-…
Pravastatin reverses the membrane cholesterol reorganization induced by myocardial infarction within lipid rafts in CD14(+)/CD16(-) circulating monoc…
2012
International audience; Large numbers of monocytes are recruited in the infarcted myocardium. Their cell membranes contain cholesterol-rich microdomains called lipids rafts, which participate in numerous signaling cascades. In addition to its cholesterol-lowering effect, pravastatin has several pleiotropic effects and is widely used as secondary prevention treatment after myocardial infarction (MI). The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of pravastatin on the organization of cholesterol within monocyte membrane rafts from patients who had suffered myocardial infarction. Monocytes from healthy donors and acute MI patients were cultured with or without 4μM pravastatin. Lipid raf…
Coronary artery disease: Risk stratification and patient selection for more aggressive secondary prevention.
2017
In patients with stable coronary artery disease, clinical outcomes are predominantly characterized by the consequences of atherosclerosis on the myocardium, but also by complications of atherosclerosis, notably recurrent acute coronary syndrome or stroke. Secondary prevention therapy is therefore key in this patient population. Intensification of secondary prevention therapy is possible, at the price of a therapeutic risk or a high cost, therefore justifying careful selection of patients with a high residual risk and low therapeutic risk. Two lines of therapy can be intensified, independently of each other, namely anti-thrombotics and lipid-lowering agents. Intensification of anti-thromboti…
Long-term outcomes after acute myocardial infarction in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia: The French registry of Acute ST-elevation and no…
2020
Patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) are prone to develop acute myocardial infarction (AMI) at a younger age.The aim of the present study was to assess 5-year outcomes after AMI according to the presence of FH in a large multicenter cohort of patients.The French registry of Acute ST-elevation and non-ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction consists of nationwide surveys recruiting patients over a 1- to 2-month period every 5 years. Patients recruited in 2005 and 2010 were followed up to 5 years.Of 5147 patients discharged alive and in whom FH status could be assessed, 2.8% had probable/definite FH, using an adapted Dutch Lipid Clinic score. They were 12 years younger, on average, tha…
The FAST-MI 2005-2010-2015 registries in the light of the COMPASS trial: The COMPASS criteria applied to a post-MI population.
2019
International audience; Background: The COMPASS trial assessed the impact of adding low dose rivaroxaban to aspirin in selected patients (pts). After an acute myocardial infarction (MI), when dual antiplatelet treatment is no longer needed, patients might be eligible for aspirin/rivaroxaban co-therapy. The characteristics and risks of such a population are unclear.Methods: Data were extracted from the FAST-MI 2005, 2010 and 2015 nationwide French registries. Characteristics and long-term mortality were compared according to COMPASS eligibility and between registry and trial populations.Results: Among 9954 patients alive and free of events at one year, 4402 (44%) were classified as COMPASS-L…

We sought to describe the perceptions and attitudes of caregivers in cardiology regarding end-of-life situations.Methods: e performed a qualitative study using semi-directive interviews in the cardiology department of a university teaching hospital in France. Physicians, nurses and nurses’ aides working full-time in the department at the time of the study were eligible. Participants were asked to describe how they experienc…
Chronic Kidney Disease, Diabetes, and Risk of Mortality After Acute Myocardial Infarction: Insight From the FAST-MI Program
2020
Diabetes is associated with a substantially increased risk of all-cause death, mainly driven by cardiovascular (CV) mortality. Furthermore, diabetes is associated with poorer outcomes after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) (1). Impaired glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is also associated with an increased risk of CV mortality (2). However, whether diabetes still confers a higher risk of mortality in patients with impaired GFR remains unknown. The aim of this study was to assess the long-term prognostic significance of both diabetes and renal impairment in two prospective nationwide cohorts of AMI patients: FAST-MI (French Registry of Acute ST-Elevation or non-ST-elevation Myocardial Infarc…

2016
Background and aimOutcomes of AMI patients have substantially improved over the past 2 decades. Whether similar trends are observed in elderly (≥75 years of age) and younger patients has not been extensively studied.MethodsWe analysed one-year mortality of elderly vs younger patients in 4 nationwide French survey carried out 5 years apart from 1995 to 2010. Consecutive STEMI and NSTEMI patients (≤48 hours from onset) were recruited over one-month periods. Among 10610 patients included in the 4 surveys, 3389 (32%) were aged 75+.ResultsFrom 1995 to 2010, the proportion of 75+remained stable in NSTEMI (1995: 36%, 2010: 38%), but decreased in STEMI patients (1995: 30%, 2010: 25.5%, P=0.006).

Outcomes after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for the treatment of high-risk pulmonary embolism: a multicentre series of 52 cases
2018
International audience; Aims The role of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) remains ill defined in pulmonary embolism (PE). We investigated outcomes in patients with high-risk PE undergoing ECMO according to initial therapeutic strategy. Methods and results From 01 January 2014 to 31 December 2015, 180 patients from 13 Departments in nine centres with high-risk PE were retrospectively included. Among those undergoing ECMO, we compared characteristics and outcomes according to adjunctive treatment strategy (systemic thrombolysis, surgical embolectomy, or no reperfusion therapy). Primary outcome was all-cause 30-day mortality. Secondary outcome was 90-day major bleeding. One hundred a…
Global perspective of familial hypercholesterolaemia: a cross-sectional study from the EAS Familial Hypercholesterolaemia Studies Collaboration (FHSC)
2021
Background The European Atherosclerosis Society Familial Hypercholesterolaemia Studies Collaboration (FHSC) global registry provides a platform for the global surveillance of familial hypercholesterolaemia through harmonisation and pooling of multinational data. In this study, we aimed to characterise the adult population with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia and described how it is detected and managed globally. Methods Using FHSC global registry data, we did a cross-sectional assessment of adults (aged 18 years or older) with a clinical or genetic diagnosis of probable or definite heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia at the time they were entered into the registries.

Do randomized clinical trial selection criteria reflect levels of risk as observed in a general population of acute myocardial infarction survivors? …
2016
IF 4.638; International audience; Background: Few clinical trials have focused on populations with a history of distant myocardial infarction (MI). The PEGASUS trial assessed the impact of dual antiplatelet therapy in such patients, selected by enrichment criteria of high cardiovascular risk. Whether the PEGASUS population reflects the risk of a broader post-MI population is questionable. We analyzed whether 4-year mortality of a routine-practice population would differ according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria used in PEGASUS.Methods: FAST-MI is a nationwide French registry recruiting acute MI patients in November 2005; 2490 patients alive and without recurrent MI at one year were …

2020
Background The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound effect on general health care. We aimed to evaluate the effect of a nationwide lockdown in France on admissions to hospital for acute myocardial infarction, by patient characteristics and regional prevalence of the pandemic. Methods In this registry study, we collected data from 21 centres participating in the ongoing French Cohort of Myocardial Infarction Evaluation (FRENCHIE) registry, which collects data from all patients admitted for ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) or non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) within 48 h of symptom onset. We analysed weekly hospital admissions over 8 weeks: the 4 weeks …
Reperfusion strategy in Europe: temporal trends in performance measures for reperfusion therapy in ST-elevation myocardial infarction
2010
Aims The rate and type of reperfusion, as well as time delays to reperfusion are directly associated with mortality and are established as performance measures (PMs) in the treatment of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). To date, little information exists about PMs for reperfusion in clinical practice in Europe and their temporal changes. Methods and results Using the Euro Heart Survey ACS-III data set (2 years of inclusions between 2006 and 2008, 138 centres in 21 countries), we selected patients with STEMI eligible for reperfusion therapy. Recorded variables corresponded to the CARDS data set. The rate and type of reperfusion, as well as door to needle and door to artery times we…

2020
Background and aims: Post-acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients are at very high risk for recurrent events and mortality, despite the availability of effective pharmacological approaches. Aim of this survey was to evaluate the compliance to ESC/EAS guidelines during the management of ACS patients and the effectiveness of secondary prevention in seven European countries.Methods: By means of an online questionnaire, data on 2775 ACS patients (either acute case or follow-up patients) were collected, including data on lipid profile, medications, follow-up visit planning, screening for familial hypercholesterolemia.Results: Lipid profiles were obtained for 91% of ACS patients in the acute phase…
0133 : Identifying familial hypercholesterolemia from registries of patients with acute myocardial infarction: an algorithm-based approach
2016
Background and aim Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is at very high risk of early myocardial infarction (MI). The prevalence of FH, which is estimated to be at least 1:500 in the general population, remains unclear in patients with acute MI. From databases of 3 French regional and nationwide registries of acute MI (RICO and FAST-MI 2005 and 2010, respectively), we aimed to determine FH prevalence by developing a specific algorithm. Methods and results Consecutive patients with AMI ≤48 hours of onset included 1) in FAST-MI : during a one-month period in 223 institutions at the end of 2005 and 213 institutions at the end of 2010, and 2) in RICO :from January 2001 – December 2013 (≈ 13 y), w…

2019
Summary Background Cancer and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have important prognostic consequences. Treatment of some cancers may affect coronary artery disease, myocardial function and/or AMI management. Whether the early and long-term mortality of patients with AMI differ according to their history of cancer remains questionable. Aims To determine in-hospital outcomes and 5-year mortality following AMI according to patient history of cancer. Methods The FAST-MI registry is a nationwide French survey collecting data on characteristics, management and outcomes of 3670 consecutive patients admitted for AMI during October 2005. Results Overall, 246/3664 patients (6.7%) admitted for an AMI…
Five-year outcomes following timely primary percutaneous intervention, late primary percutaneous intervention, or a pharmaco-invasive strategy in ST-…
2019
Abstract Aims ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) guidelines recommend primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) as the default reperfusion strategy when feasible ≤120 min of diagnostic ECG, and a pharmaco-invasive strategy otherwise. There is, however, a lack of direct evidence to support the guidelines, and in real-world situations, pPCI is often performed beyond recommended timelines. To assess 5-year outcomes according to timing of pPCI (timely vs. late) compared with a pharmaco-invasive strategy (fibrinolysis with referral to PCI centre). Methods and results The French registry of Acute ST-elevation and non-ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction (FAST-MI) programme c…
