Abstract

Background Multivessel disease (MVD) is seen in ˜40% of ST-elevation Myocardial Infarctions (STEMI). Revascularisation strategy and chronic total occlusions affect clinical outcomes in MVD. However, there are no published multivariate data on additional predictors of clinical outcomes in patients with MVD undergoing PPCI. We aimed to provide a comprehensive multimodal, multivariate assessment of independent predictors (clinical, bioanthropometric, angiographic and cardiovascular magnetic resonance [CMR]) of medium-term severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) and clinical outcomes in patients with MVD at PPCI. Methods STEMI patients presenting 75% on Quantitative Coronary Angiography (QCA). The primary clinical outcome of 12-month combined MACE comprised all-cause mortality, recurrent MI, heart failure hospitalisation and ischaemia-driven revascularisation. Multivariate logistic regression and log-rank test (Cox regression) assessed independent predictors of severe LVSD (LVEF Results (a) Severe LVSD (LVEF Univariate predictors of final LVEF (b) Combined MACE at 12-months Univariate predictors of combined MACE at 12-months included age, peak CK, Rentrop grade, SYNTAX score, number of affected vessels and lesions >75% stenosis on QCA. Acute CMR predictors included WMS, LVEF, LV volumes, IS, AAR, MVO, MSI and global strain. At stepwise multivariate regression, IS at acute CMR was the strongest independent predictor, followed by number of lesions >75% severity on QCA, and revascularisation strategy. AUC for IS was 0.729 and the optimal cut-off for predicting MACE was IS≥16.8% LVM (Table 2). Conclusions In this novel, comprehensive study assessing multiparametric independent predictors of clinical outcomes for MVD at PPCI in STEMI, WMS at acute CMR was the only independent predictor of final LVEF 75% on QCA, and revascularisation strategy. Acute CMR surrogate markers are powerful predictors of medium-term clinical outcomes following PPCI for MVD.
