8 Case Study

9 Case Study: Mr. Chan 77 year old man hx HTN, NIDDM Episodic epigastric pain x 1 day, 5 6 bouts, longest 30 min with diaphoresis, now pain free Your Thoughts? How will you evaluate Mr. Chan? Is he a high risk patient? No known CAD Smokes 50 yrs Ramipril, metformin VS normal, exam noncontributory

10 Mr. Chan: Admission ECG

11 Mr. Chan: Admission Tests ECG: normal Biomarkers essential hstnt = 115 ng/l Pain returns in the ED Troponin Interpretation < 14 ng/l Normal ng/l Borderline elevation > 110 ng/l Clear elevation

12 Is Mr. Chan a High Risk Patient? Recurrent angina or ischemia at rest or with low level activities Elevated cardiac biomarkers (TnT or TnI) New or presumably new ST depression or transient ST elevation or T wave inversion New LBBB or sustained ventricular tachycardia High risk findings from non invasive testing Hemodynamic instability Sustained ventricular tachycardia Renal dysfunction, T2DM, PCI within 6 months, prior CABG High risk score (e.g. TIMI, GRACE) Reduced LVEF (< 40%) Fitchett DH et al. CJC 2011;27:S387 S401; Kumar A et al. Mayo Clinic Proceedings Oct 2009; 84(10):917 38

13 Risk Scores: TIMI and GRACE TIMI GRACE HISTORY PRESENTATION GRACE = Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events TIMI = Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction Age Hypertension Diabetes Smoking Cholesterol Family history Documented CAD Severe angina Aspirin within 7 days Elevated markers ST segment deviation Age Heart rate Systolic BP Elevated creatinine Heart failure Cardiac arrest Elevated markers ST segment deviation Antman EM, et al. JAMA 2000; 284(7):835 42; D'Ascenzo F, et al. Contemp Clin Trials 2012; 33:507 14

14 Risk Factor Mr. Chan s TIMI Score Age 65 1 ASA use in past 7 days 0 2 angina episodes in last 24 hrs 1 ST changes 0.5 mm on admission ECG 0 Elevated serum cardiac markers 1 Known CAD (coronary stenosis >= 50%) 0 3 risk factors for CAD 0 Total Score 3 History, ECG and troponin should be evaluated before TIMI % Risk at 14 days* , ,7 TIMI score *All cause mortality, new or recurrent MI or severe recurrent ischemia requiring urgent revascularization Apps available for iphone, ipad and ipod Antman EM, et al.

15 Mr. Chan s GRACE Score Online GRACE RISK calculator GRACE 2.0 available as a free app D'Ascenzo F, et al. Contemp Clin Trials 2012; 33:507 14

16 How Will You Handle Mr. Chan? a) Refer to cardiology without starting OAP therapy b) Refer to cardiology after starting DAPT (ticagrelor + ASA) c) Refer to cardiology after starting DAPT (clopidogrel + ASA)

17 OAP in High Risk Patients a) Meta analysis, n=135,000 b) OAP is superior in preventing vascular events vs. control (p<0.0001) in all 5 groups Previous MI Acute MI Previous stroke/transient ischemic attack Acute stroke Other high risk c) Unstable angina trials, n=5031 5% difference, NNT=20 Antithrombotic Trialists' Collaboration.

Can J Cardiol 2013;29:

21 OAP in ACS: The World Beyond CCS CADTH report conclusions based on NICE, ESC, ISCI, AAPI and FDA documents and guidelines (CCS Guidelines not included): NSTEMI and STEMI: prasugrel and ticagrelor more efficacious than clopidogrel Clopidogrel + ASA Prasugrel + ASA Ticagrelor + ASA prevent ischemic events and stent thrombosis in NSTEMI and STEMI prevent stent thrombosis in PCI prevent thrombosis in ACS Antiplatelets for ACS: CADTH report PLOS ONE 2014;19(3)

22 PCI Improves Outcomes TACTICS ACS (TIMI 18) PCI vs. Conservative management Primary endpoint: Composite of death, nonfatal MI or hospitalization for ACS Primary endpoint at 6 months: OR 0.78, p=0.025 Death or MI at 6 months: OR 0.74, P<0.05 In Canada, the majority of high risk NSTEMI get early cardiac catheterization. Patients with undetermined risk should be observed for a min of 12 hrs so their actual risk can be assessed. Fitchett DH et al. CJC 2011;27:S387 S401; Cannon C et al. Circulation 2000;102:2672

23 Early PCI (< 24 hrs) Improves Outcomes Coronary angiography and intervention 24 hrs vs. 36 hrs N=3031 Primary outcome: composite of death, MI or stroke at 6 months Early vs. late: HR 0.85; P=0.15 In 1/3 pts at high risk: 0.65 Secondary outcome: death, MI or refractory ischemia at 6 months Early vs. late: HR 0.72; P=0.003 Damman et al.

24 Will You Anticoagulate Mr. Chan? Cochrane analysis: in UA/NSTEMI, heparins reduced MI risk compared with placebo RR 0.4, NNT 33 a trend towards more major bleeds, RR=2.05 Consider bleeding risks CRUSADE risk score hemodynamic instability risk of ischemic events renal insufficiency PCI/catheterization in the past 24 hrs femoral access site use of gp IIb/IIIa inhibitors therapy with ASA and/or OAP Fitchett DH et al.

25 Anticoagulation for Mr. Chan NICE Pathway: Low bleed risk fondaparinux PCI likely or Cr>265 UFH (confirm creatinine clearance and add units) High bleed risk monitor renal function and modify dose Carefully consider choice and dose of antithrombin if high bleed risk plus any of the following: advanced age known bleeding complications renal impairment low body weight Fitchett DH et al.
