Why the study?
The ability of ESC/EACTS high ischemic risk criteria to stratify ischemic and bleeding risk in a contemporary real-world East Asian cohort remained unexplored.
Does the ESC/EACTS High Ischemic Risk definition stratify ischemic and bleeding risk in a contemporary East Asian cohort undergoing PCI?
Does the ESC/EACTS High Ischemic Risk definition stratify ischemic and bleeding risk in a contemporary East Asian cohort undergoing PCI?
The ESC/EACTS High Ischemic Risk criteria successfully identify patients at increased risk of thrombotic events, including cardiac death, in a contemporary East Asian PCI cohort.
May aid ischemic risk stratification in East Asian PCI patients; leaves open whether criteria should guide therapy.
AIMS: The ESC/EACTS myocardial revascularization guidelines recently standardized the definition of patients at high ischemic risk (HIR). However, the ability of ESC/EACTS-HIR criteria to stratify ischemic and bleeding risk in a contemporary real-world East Asian cohort remains unexplored. METHODS: A total of 10,167 consecutive patients undergoing PCI from prospective Fuwai PCI Registry (January 2013 to December 2013) were reviewed. ESC/EACTS-HIR features was defined as having at least one of the eight clinical and angiographic characteristics. The primary ischemic endpoint was target vessel failure (cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction [MI], or target vessel revascularization [TVR]); bleeding outcome was assessed using the BARC type 2, 3, or 5 bleeding. Median follow-up was 29 months. RESULTS: >0.05). CONCLUSION: The ESC/EACTS-HIR features identified patients at increased risk of thrombotic events, including cardiac death, but not for clinically relevant bleeding. Importantly, HBR did not modify cardiovascular risk subsequent to patients with ESC/EACTS-HIR features, suggesting its potential clinical applicability in tailoring antithrombotic therapy.
