Evolution de la prise en charge et du pronostic des syndromes coronariens aigus en France entre 1995 et 2010
Dans les pays développés , les syndromes coronariens aigus (SCA) représentent une pathologie fréquente et grave et les maladies cardiovasculaires restent la première cause de mortalité en Europe. Au cours de la dernière décennie, pourtant, plusieurs travaux épidémiologiques ont suggéré une baisse sensible de l'incidence des infarctus et la mortalité cardiovasculaire est dorénavant en recul dans de très nombreux pays, dont la France. La cardiologie est une des disciplines médicales qui a connu les plus grands bouleversements au cours des 25 dernières années et la prise en charge des SCA ainsi que le profil des patients ont considérablement évolué. Dans ce contexte, il nous a paru intéressant d'étudier la manière dont le devenir des patients présentant un infarctus aigu pouvait participer à cette baisse générale de la mortalité cardio-vasculaire. A partir de quatre enquêtes longitudinales successives répertoriant les SCA (USIK 1995, USIC 2000, FAST-MI 2005, FAST-MI 2010) et de l observatoire national des actes de cardiologie interventionnelle (ONACI), nous avons observé, après standardisation sur les caractéristiques initiales des différentes cohortes, une baisse spectaculaire de la mortalité quel que soit le type de SCA (avec sus-décalage ST [SCA ST+] ou ST-elevation myocardial infarction [STEMI] ; sans sus-décalage ST [SCA ST-] ou non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction [NSTEMI]). Cette évolution peut être expliquée par plusieurs paramètres : amélioration de la prise en charge globale, meilleur suivi des recommandations, changement de profils des patients (pour les STEMI), développement de la stratégie invasive et utilisation de nouvelles thérapeutiques, évolution des techniques de cardiologie interventionnelle Ainsi, il apparaît que l'amélioration du pronostic des patients atteints d'infarctus est bien un des éléments ayant pu contribuer à la baisse de la mortalité cardiovasculaire. L enjeu aujourd hui est de maintenir ces résultats, de renforcer les mesures de prévention et d améliorer le pronostic à long terme en développant notamment les programmes d éducation thérapeutique.In developed countries, acute coronary syndromes (ACS) represent a common and serious disease, and cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in Europe. During the last decade, however, several epidemiological studies have suggested a significant reduction in the incidence of myocardial infarction and cardiovascular mortality in many countries, including France. Over the past 25 years, Cardiology has dramatically evolved and the management of ACS, as well as patient risk profile have substantially changed. In this context, we aimed to evaluate how the outcomes of patients with acute myocardial infarction could participate in the general decline in cardiovascular mortality. From four successive longitudinal surveys including ACS (USIK 1995, USIC 2000, FAST-MI 2005, FAST-MI 2010) and the national observatory of interventional cardiology (ONACI) we observed, after standardization of the cohorts on baseline clinical characteristics, a dramatic decline in mortality regardless of the type of ACS (STEMI, ST-elevation myocardial infarction, NSTEMI, non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction). This evolution can be explained by several factors: overall improvement in organization of care, better implementation of recommendations, substantial change in the patient risk profile (for STEMI), increasing use of invasive strategy and adjunctive therapies, improved technique for Interventional Cardiology ... Therefore, the improved prognosis of patients with myocardial infarction appears to be one of the factors that have contributed to the decline in cardiovascular mortality. For the future, the challenge will be to maintain these results, strengthen preventive measures and improve long-term prognosis in particular by developing the therapeutic education programs.PARIS5-Bibliotheque electronique (751069902) / SudocSudocFranceF
PROGNOSTIC IMPACT OF MANAGEMENT IN PATIENTS WITH RENAL INSUFFICIENCY AND ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME: FAST-MI 2010
0130: Mortality related to cardiogenic shock in critically ill patients in France, 1997-2012
IntroductionMost of data reporting epidemiology of cardiogenic shock (CS) concern patients with acute myocardial infarction admitted in intensive care unit of cardiology. However, CS patients managed in critical care unit (CCU) have often multiorgan failure and seem to have different characteristics and outcome. To our best knowledge no study reported characteristics and clinical outcomes of CS patients admitted in CCU.AimTo report key features, Mortality and Trends in mortality in a large cohort of patients with CS admitting in 33 French CCUs from 1997 to 2012.Methods and resultsWe queried the 1997–2012 database of Parisian area ICUs-the CubRea (Intensive Care Database User Group) database to identify all hospital stays with a principal or an associated diagnosis of CS (National classification of disease R 570). Among 303 314 hospital stays, 17 494 (5.8%) were CS. The patients were managed in 60% of cases in universitary centers. Mean age was 64.3±17.0. Men accounted for 11047 (63.1%). Mean SAPS II was 62.0±24.3. Among CS, only 535 (3.06%) were AMI whereas 2685 (15.3%) were cardiac arrest and 858 (4.9%) were drug intoxications. Mechanical ventilation was required in 12967 (74.1%) of cases, inotropes in 14640 (83.7%) of cases and renal support in 3886 (22.2%) of cases. Mean duration of hospital was 19.1 days±24.7. Intrahospital Mortality was high (46.2%). Predictors of intrahospital death are reported in Table. Over the 15-year period, mortality decreased (49.8% in 1997-2000 and 42.7% in 2009-2012, p<0.001) whereas the patients were more critically ill (SAPS II 58.8±25.4 in 1997-2000 vs 64.2 8±23.6 in 2009-2012, p<0.001).Conclusionit is the first study reporting the prevalence, determinants and prognostic factors of CS patients managed in reanimation. The mortality of these very critically ill patients remains high. However over the 15-year period, even if these patients are more and more critically ill, early mortality decreased.Abstratct 0130 – TableVariablesOR95% CIDrug intoxication.307.236.401Age (<60 yo).436.383.496Mechanical circulatory support.681.3781.228Sepsis.715.637.8022009-2012.998.8851.125SAPS II1.0361.0331.038Acidosis1.4531.2641.670Mechanical ventilation1.7181.4831.990Acute respiratory distress syndrome1.7941.5582.0661997-20001.8141.4522.267Hemodialysis1.8201.6092.060Inotropic use1.9821.1133.530Disseminated intravascular coagulation2.1191.5912.822Cardiac arrest4.3333.8404.88

Evaluating the Impact of Computerized Provider Order Entry on Medical Students Training at Bedside: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Objective: To evaluate the impact of computerized provider order entry (CPOE) at the bedside on medical students training. Materials and Methods We conducted a randomized cross-controlled educational trial on medical students during two clerkship rotations in three departments, assessing the impact of the use of CPOE on their ability to place adequate monitoring and therapeutic orders using a written test before and after each rotation. Students’ satisfaction with their practice and the order placement system was surveyed. A multivariate mixed model was used to take individual students and chief resident (CR) effects into account. Factorial analysis was applied on the satisfaction questionnaire to identify dimensions, and scores were compared on these dimensions. Results: Thirty-six students show no better progress (beginning and final test means = 69.87 and 80.98 points out of 176 for the control group, 64.60 and 78.11 for the CPOE group, p = 0.556) during their rotation in either group, even after adjusting for each student and CR, but show a better satisfaction with patient care and greater involvement in the medical team in the CPOE group (p = 0.035*). Both groups have a favorable opinion regarding CPOE as an educational tool, especially because of the order reviewing by the supervisor. Conclusion: This is the first randomized controlled trial assessing the performance of CPOE in both the progress in prescriptions ability and satisfaction of the students. The absence of effect on the medical skills must be weighted by the small time scale and low sample size. However, students are more satisfied when using CPOE rather than usual training
Beta-blocker management in patients admitted for acute heart failure and reduced ejection fraction: a review and expert consensus opinion
The role of the beta-adrenergic signaling pathway in heart failure (HF) is pivotal. Early blockade of this pathway with beta-blocker (BB) therapy is recommended as the first-line medication for patients with HF and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Conversely, in patients with severe acute HF (AHF), including those with resolved cardiogenic shock (CS), BB initiation can be hazardous. There are very few data on the management of BB in these situations. The present expert consensus aims to review all published data on the use of BB in patients with severe decompensated AHF, with or without hemodynamic compromise, and proposes an expert-recommended practical algorithm for the prescription and monitoring of BB therapy in critical settings
Overview of the current use of levosimendan in France: a prospective observational cohort study
Abstract Background Following the results of randomized controlled trials on levosimendan, French health authorities requested an update of the current use and side-effects of this medication on a national scale. Method The France-LEVO registry was a prospective observational cohort study reflecting the indications, dosing regimens, and side-effects of levosimendan, as well as patient outcomes over a year. Results The patients included ( n = 602) represented 29.6% of the national yearly use of levosimendan in France. They were treated for cardiogenic shock ( n = 250, 41.5%), decompensated heart failure ( n = 127, 21.1%), cardiac surgery-related low cardiac output prophylaxis and/or treatment ( n = 86, 14.3%), and weaning from veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation ( n = 82, 13.6%). They received 0.18 ± 0.07 µg/kg/min levosimendan over 26 ± 8 h. An initial bolus was administered in 45 patients (7.5%), 103 (17.1%) received repeated infusions, and 461 (76.6%) received inotropes and or vasoactive agents concomitantly. Hypotension was reported in 218 patients (36.2%), atrial fibrillation in 85 (14.1%), and serious adverse events in 17 (2.8%). 136 patients (22.6%) died in hospital, and 26 (4.3%) during the 90-day follow-up. Conclusions We observed that levosimendan was used in accordance with recent recommendations by French physicians. Hypotension and atrial fibrillation remained the most frequent side-effects, while serious adverse event potentially attributable to levosimendan were infrequent. The results suggest that this medication was safe and potentially associated with some benefit in the population studied
Effect of alirocumab on mortality after acute coronary syndromes. An analysis of the ODYSSEY OUTCOMES randomized clinical trial
Background: Previous trials of PCSK9 (proprotein convertase subtilisin-kexin type 9) inhibitors demonstrated reductions in major adverse cardiovascular events, but not death. We assessed the effects of alirocumab on death after index acute coronary syndrome. Methods: ODYSSEY OUTCOMES (Evaluation of Cardiovascular Outcomes After an Acute Coronary Syndrome During Treatment With Alirocumab) was a double-blind, randomized comparison of alirocumab or placebo in 18 924 patients who had an ACS 1 to 12 months previously and elevated atherogenic lipoproteins despite intensive statin therapy. Alirocumab dose was blindly titrated to target achieved low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) between 25 and 50 mg/dL. We examined the effects of treatment on all-cause death and its components, cardiovascular and noncardiovascular death, with log-rank testing. Joint semiparametric models tested associations between nonfatal cardiovascular events and cardiovascular or noncardiovascular death. Results: Median follow-up was 2.8 years. Death occurred in 334 (3.5%) and 392 (4.1%) patients, respectively, in the alirocumab and placebo groups (hazard ratio [HR], 0.85; 95% CI, 0.73 to 0.98; P=0.03, nominal P value). This resulted from nonsignificantly fewer cardiovascular (240 [2.5%] vs 271 [2.9%]; HR, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.74 to 1.05; P=0.15) and noncardiovascular (94 [1.0%] vs 121 [1.3%]; HR, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.59 to 1.01; P=0.06) deaths with alirocumab. In a prespecified analysis of 8242 patients eligible for ≥3 years follow-up, alirocumab reduced death (HR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.65 to 0.94; P=0.01). Patients with nonfatal cardiovascular events were at increased risk for cardiovascular and noncardiovascular deaths (P<0.0001 for the associations). Alirocumab reduced total nonfatal cardiovascular events (P<0.001) and thereby may have attenuated the number of cardiovascular and noncardiovascular deaths. A post hoc analysis found that, compared to patients with lower LDL-C, patients with baseline LDL-C ≥100 mg/dL (2.59 mmol/L) had a greater absolute risk of death and a larger mortality benefit from alirocumab (HR, 0.71; 95% CI, 0.56 to 0.90; Pinteraction=0.007). In the alirocumab group, all-cause death declined wit h achieved LDL-C at 4 months of treatment, to a level of approximately 30 mg/dL (adjusted P=0.017 for linear trend). Conclusions: Alirocumab added to intensive statin therapy has the potential to reduce death after acute coronary syndrome, particularly if treatment is maintained for ≥3 years, if baseline LDL-C is ≥100 mg/dL, or if achieved LDL-C is low.
