Le syndrome métabolique après un syndrome coronarien aigu (une prévalence et une morbimortalité sous estimées en dépit d'une prise en charge optimisée)
Le syndrome métabolique (SM) associe obésité androîde; insulinorésistance, dyslipidémie athérogène, élévation de pression artérielle, ainsi qu'un état proinflammatoire et prothrombotique. Il augmente la mortalité et morbidité cardiovasculaires en prévention primaire. Nous avons évalué sa prévalence et la morbimortalité en prévention secondaire dans une cohorte thérapeutique, selon la définition de l'ATP III. Méthodologie : 351 patients consécutifs furent convoqués 3 mois après un syndrome coronarien aigu (SCA) afin dévaluer les facteurs de risque cardiovasculaires, la fonction cardiaque et d'optimiser leur traitement. Au suivi (médiane de suivi 536 jours) sont colligés habitudes de vie, thérapeutiques, évènements intercurrents, ainsi qu'un bilan biologique. Résultats : l'âge moyen de cette population est de 60,0 +/- 12 ans (16,8% de femmes). 80% des patients bénéficiaient d'une trithérapie associant anti-hypertenseurs, hypolipémiants et antiagrégants ; sans différence entre les groupes non SM et SM. La prévalence du SM était de 21,9% à l'inclusion, se majorant à 24,5% au suivi. Il n'existait pas de différence significative entre les deux groupes pour la CRP ultrasensible, la lipoprotéine (a), le tabagisme. L'obésité et la sédentarité étaient significativement plus élevées chez les patients SM à l'inclusion et au suivi. Les décès d'origine cardiovasculaire étaient plus nombreux chez les patients SM comparés à ceux non SM (5,2% vs 0,7% ; p<0,008) comme les décès toute cause (6,5% vs2,2% p=0,05). La fréquence de tout évènement cardiovasculaire était plus élevée chez les patients SM (20,8% vs12?8% p=NS). En conclusion, le SM conserve une prévalence élevée après un SCA, majorant la morbimortalité cardiovasculaire. Le traitement de l'insulinorésitance' doit ëtre associé au traitement habituel des SCA.BORDEAUX2-BU Santé (330632101) / SudocPARIS-BIUM (751062103) / SudocSudocFranceF

Toe Pressure Measurements in Patients Suspected of Critical Limb Ischemia
International audienceAn objective hemodynamic assessment is mandatory to confirm Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI). Toe pressure measurement is recommended. We compared toe measurements obtained using the Laser Doppler method (LD) (PERIMED PeriFlux, Sweden) considered as the reference test, with those obtained with a portable device using photoplethysmography (PPG) (Sys Toe Atys Medical, France). A total of 93 (123 legs) patients from 3 French hospitals with a clinical suspicion of CLI were included and had measurements with each device carried out by skilled operators. PPG was unable to provide a measurement in 10 patients. Lin’s Coefficient correlation concordance (CCC) and Bland and Altman’s scatter plot were analyzed for the 83 remaining patients, CCC was .84 95%CI (.77–.89). For detection of CLI, Cohen’s kappa was .67 95%CI (.53–.81). The PPG device is fairly reliable for toe pressure measurement in patients suspected of CLI and could be useful when LD is not available. However, it fails to deliver a measurement in approximately 10% of cases. No conclusion should be made about CLI for these patients when no measurement is obtainable and other methods should be used (LD, transcutaneous oxygen pressure) to assess perfusion of the limbs
Comparison of Ankle Pressure, Systolic Toe Pressure, and Transcutaneous Oxygen Pressure to Predict Major Amputation After 1 Year in the COPART Cohort
International audienceThe hemodynamic definition of critical limb ischemia (CLI) has evolved over time but remains controversial. We compared the prediction of major amputation by 3 hemodynamic methods. Patients were selected from the Cohorte des Patients ARTériopathes cohort of patients hospitalized for peripheral arterial disease. Patients with CLI were enrolled according to the Trans-Atlantic Inter-Society Consensus Document on Management of Peripheral Arterial Disease II definition and followed up for at least 1 year. We compared the major amputation rate according to initial ankle pressure (AP), systolic toe pressure (STP), and forefoot transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPO2); 556 patients were included and divided into surgical (264) and medical (292) groups. The AP failed to identify 42% of patients with CLI. After 1 year, 27% of medical and 17% of surgical patients had undergone major amputation. The TP <30 mm Hg predicted major amputation in the whole sample and in the medical group (odds ratio [OR] 3.5 [1.7-7.1] and OR 5 [2-12.4], respectively), but AP did not. The TcPO2 <10 mm Hg also predicted major amputation (OR 2.3 [1.5-3.5] and OR 3.8 [2.1-6.8]). The best predictive thresholds to predict major amputation were STP <30 mm Hg and TcPO2 <10 mm Hg. None of these methods performed before surgery was able to predict outcome in the revascularized patients
Impact of betablockers on general and local outcome in patients hospitalized for lower extremity peripheral artery disease
International audienceLower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD) is one manifestation of atherosclerosis. Patients with PAD have an increased rate of mortality due to concurrent coronary artery disease and hypertension. Betablockers (BB) may, therefore, be prescribed, especially in case of heart failure. However, BB safety in PAD is controversial, because of presumed peripheral hemodynamic consequences of BB that could lead to worsening of symptoms in patients with PAD. In this context, we aimed to determine the impact of BB on all-cause and cardiovascular mortality and amputation rate at 1 year after hospitalization for PAD from the COPART Registry population. This is a prospective multicenter observational study collecting data from consecutive patients hospitalized for PAD in vascular medicine departments of 4 academic hospitals in France. Patients with, either claudication, critical limb ischemia or acute lower limb ischemia related to a documented PAD were included. We compared the outcomes of patients with BB versus those without BB in their prescription list at hospital discharge. The mean age of the study population was 70.9 years, predominantly composed of males (71%). Among the 1267 patients at admission, 28% were treated by BB for hypertension, prior myocardial infarction or heart failure. During their hospital stay, 40% underwent revascularization (including bypass surgery 29% and angioplasty 74%), 17% required an amputation, and 5% died. In a multivariate analysis, only prior myocardial infarction was found associated with BB prescription with an odds ratio (OR) of 3.11, P < 0.001. Conversely, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or PAD with ulcer impeded BB prescription (OR: 0.57 and 0.64, P = 0.007; P = 0.001, respectively). One-year overall mortality of patients with BB did not differ from those without (23% vs. 23%, P = 0.95). The 1-year amputation rate did not differ either (4% vs. 6%, P = 0.14). Patients hospitalized for PAD with a BB in their prescription did not worsen their outcome at 1 year compared to patients without BB. Based on these safety data, prospective study could be conducted to assess the effect of BB on long-term mortality and amputation rate in patients with mild, moderate, and severe PAD
Impact of angiotensin receptor blockers on mortality after hospitalization for symptomatic lower extremity artery disease
International audienceAims: The objective was to assess the association between angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) prescription at discharge in patients hospitalized for symptomatic lower extremity artery disease (LEAD) and 1-year mortality.Methods and results: The COPART registry is a multicentre, prospective, observational, cohort study which includes consecutive patients hospitalized for symptomatic LEAD in four French academic centres. All-cause mortality during a 1-year follow-up after hospital discharge was compared between patients with ARB, patients with ACEI and patients without ARB or ACEI. Analyses were performed using Cox models. As a sensitivity analysis, a propensity score (PS)-matching analysis was carried out. Among 1981 patients, 421 had ARB (21.3%), 766 ACEI (38.7%), and 794 no ACEI/ARB (40.1%) at discharge. During the 1-year follow-up, incidence rates for mortality were 12.6/100 person-years [95% confidence interval (CI) 9.7-16.1] for patients with ARB, 15.8/100 person-years (95% CI 13.4-18.6) for patients with ACEI and 19.8/100 person-years for patients without ACEI/ARB (95% CI 17.2-22.8). In a multivariate Cox model, ARB at discharge was associated with decreased mortality compared with no ACEI/ARB, hazard ratio (HR) 0.68 (95% CI 0.49-0.95), and with ACEI, HR 0.69 (95% CI 0.49-0.97). These results are consistent with those obtained by the Cox analyses in the PS-matched sample: HR 0.68 (95% CI 0.47-0.98) for patients with ARB compared with no ARB.Conclusion: Angiotensin receptor blockers at discharge after hospitalization for symptomatic LEAD is associated with a better survival compared with ACEI or no ACEI/ARB
Finger Systolic Blood Pressure Index Measurement: A Useful Tool for the Evaluation of Arterial Disease in Patients With Systemic Sclerosis
International audienceObjective: To evaluate the prevalence and clinical correlates of peripheral arterial disease of the upper limbs in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc), as detected with finger brachial pressure index (FBPI) measurements.Methods: This work is based on the baseline data of the SCLEROCAP multicenter cohort of SSc patients. Finger systolic blood pressure was measured with laser Doppler flowmetry, and the FBPI was obtained as its ratio over the ipsilateral brachial systolic blood pressure. An FBPI of <0.70 was used as the diagnostic criterion for occlusive arterial disease of the upper limbs. Thus, the prevalence of defined arterial disease as well as its clinical, biologic, and capillaroscopic correlates were evaluated.Results: Among 326 enrolled patients, 177 (54.3%) met the criterion for arterial disease (FBPI <0.70). No association was found with the type of SSc nor with the type of associated antinuclear antibodies, but a significant association was found with the duration of the disease (P < 0.001), the capillaroscopic pattern (P < 0.001), and most strikingly with the presence of digital ulcers (42.9% versus 13.4%; P < 0.001). A quantitative relationship was found between the FBPI and the prevalence of digital ulcers and was shown to be independent from the capillaroscopic pattern.Conclusion: This cross-sectional study shows a high prevalence of arterial disease of the upper limbs in patients with SSc. FBPI appears to be a strong and independent predictor of digital ulcers. This study suggests that both macro- and microangiopathy are contributing to the ischemic damage of the fingertips
