BackgroundMyocardial infarction remains as a major cause of mortality worldwide and a high rate of survivors develop heart failure as a sequel, resulting in a high morbidity and elevated expenditures for health system resources. We have designed a multicenter trial to test for the efficacy of autologous bone marrow (ABM) mononuclear cell (MC) transplantation in this subgroup of patients. The main hypothesis to be tested is that treated patients will have a significantly higher ejection fraction (EF) improvement after 6 months than controls.MethodsA sample of 300 patients admitted with ST elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) and left ventricle (LV) systolic dysfunction, and submitted to successful mechanical or chemical recanalization of the infarct-related coronary artery will be selected for inclusion and randomized to either treated or control group in a double blind manner. The former group will receive 100 × 106 MC suspended in saline with 5% autologous serum in the culprit vessel, while the latter will receive placebo (saline with 5% autologous serum).ImplicationsMany phase I/II clinical trials using cell therapy for STEMI have been reported, demonstrating that cell transplantation is safe and may lead to better preserved LV function. Patients with high risk to develop systolic dysfunction have the potential to benefit more. Larger randomized, double blind and controlled trials to test for the efficacy of cell therapies in patients with high risk for developing heart failure are required.Trial RegisterThis trial is registered at the NIH registry under the number NCT00350766.

Quality of life assessment after acute coronary syndrome: systematic review.

Suzana Alves Silva; Sonia Regina Lambert Passos; Mariana Teixeira Carballo; Mabel Figueiró

A systematic review of studies evaluating QOL after acute myocardial infarction demonstrated that the effects of infarction on the QOL dissipate in the long term, but specific evaluation of patients who develop left ventricular function impairment in the acute phase of the event, does not seem to have been investigated4. In addition, two studies indicate that the consequences of both chronic ischemic heart disease and heart failure are not temporary, and their effects on QOL assessment worsen soon after diagnosis with no improvement in patient follow-up, differently from what has been observed after an acute event4,5.Una revisión sistemática de los estudios que evaluaron la CV posterior al infarto agudo del Miocardio, demostró que los efectos del infarto sobre la CV se disipan a largo plazo, pero la evaluación específica de los pacientes que evolucionan con un compromiso de la función ventricular izquierda, en la fase aguda del evento, no parece haber sido realizada4. Además de eso, dos estudios indican que las consecuencias tanto de la enfermedad coronaria isquémica crónica, como de la insuficiencia cardíaca no son temporales, y que sus efectos en la mensuración de la CV empeoran justamente después del diagnóstico, sin presentar una mejoría en el seguimiento de los pacientes, a diferencia de lo que ha sido relatado después de un evento agudo4,5.
