Prodromal Angina Limits Infarct Size

Abstract: Despite a similar area at risk, patients with new-onset prodromal angina showed a significantly smaller infarct size compared with patients without prodromal symptoms. Since the two groups had similar times to reperfusion and no evidence of collateral circulation to the infarct related artery, the protection afforded by angina in group 2 patients might be explained by the occurrence of ischemic preconditioning.

“…First, despite inclusion and exclusion criteria in DELTA MI that were designed to define a very specific, homogeneous patient population, factors that significantly influence biomarker end points (including total ischemia time before reperfusion, diabetes mellitus, prodromal angina before presentation, and collaterals to the LAD distribution) varied substantially among active study drug versus concurrent placebo across dosing cohorts and influenced the evaluation of drug activity with the biomarker results. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] Second, we observed a wide variability in the interquartile ranges of the quantitative biomarker results because of the small sample sizes of the dosing cohorts, and this variability influenced the statistical comparisons between active study drug versus concurrent placebo within dosing cohorts and prevented definitive conclusions on the impact of active study drug. Finally, we demonstrated consistent but nonsignificant improvements with active study drug with biomarkers collected during the first 24 to 36 hours such as ST recovery and CK-MB AUC values.…”

“…[1][2][3][4] The myocardial protection that results from ischemic preconditioning (IP) is characterized by reduced infarct size, decreased incidence of fatal arrhythmias, and reduced postischemic contractile cardiac dysfunction. 4 -6 Multiple mechanisms have been suggested to play a role in IP, [7][8][9][10] including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-mediated neovascularization during myocardial ischemia [11][12][13] protein kinase C activation, 2,4,[13][14][15][16] and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity, [17][18][19] among others.…”

“…The presence of PIA was associated with better clinical course after AMI and reduction in infarct size, as assessed indirectly by measurement of myocardial necrosis markers 3 or quantitative SPECT (single-photon emission computed tomography) 4 . Other authors have found a decrease in ventricular remodeling 5 , as well as in the incidence of ventricular arrhythmias, congestive heart failure (CHF), cardiogenic shock, and death [6][7][8] .…”

“…These patients report angina symptoms that are more severe in the morning and subside during the course of the day, providing evidence that myocardial metabolism becomes more efficient during subsequent efforts 2 . Angina pectoris prior to acute myocardial infarction (AMI), called preinfarction angina (PIA), is likely to be a marker of IPC [3][4][5][6][7][8][9] .…”
