Objective
To obtain a real-world perspective of the optimal timing of angiography performed within 24 hours of admission with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).
Background
Current guidelines recommend angiography within 24 hours of hospitalisation with NSTEMI. The recent VERDICT trial found that angiography within 12 hours of admission with NSTEMI was associated with improved cardiovascular outcomes among high-risk patients. We compared the outcomes of real-world NSTEMI patients undergoing angiography within 12 hours of admission with those of patients undergoing angiography 12 to 24 hours after admission.
Methods
NSTEMI patients without life-threatening features who received angiography within 24 hours of admission were obtained from the SPUM-ACS registry, a cohort of consecutive patients admitted with acute coronary syndromes to four university hospitals in Switzerland. Cox models assessed for an association between door-to-catheter time and one-year major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE: cardiovascular mortality, myocardial infarction, and stroke).
Results
Of 2672 NSTEMI patients, 1832 met the inclusion criteria. Among them, 1464 patients underwent angiography within 12 hours (12 h group) compared with 368 patients between 12 and 24 hours (12-24 h group). Multiple logistic regression identified out-of-hours admission as the only factor associated with delayed angiography. After 2 : 1 propensity score matching, 736 patients from the 12 h group and 368 patients from the 12-24 h group demonstrated no significant difference in rates of one-year MACE (7.7% vs. 7.3%, HR: 1.050, 95% CI 0.637-1.733, p=0.847). Stratification by GRACE score (>140 vs. ≤140) found no significant reduction in MACE among high-risk patients in the 12 h group (p=0.847). Stratification by GRACE score (>140 vs. ≤140) found no significant reduction in MACE among high-risk patients in the 12 h group (.
Conclusions
In an unselected real-world cohort of NSTEMI patients, angiography within 12 hours of admission was not associated with improved one-year cardiovascular outcomes when compared with angiography 12 and 24 hours after admission, even among high-risk patients.
