  1. STEMI-WRAP on Evidence-Based Management of STEMI:The Emergency Department Perspective Charles V. Pollack, Jr., M.A., M.D., FACEP, FAHA Professor and Chair, Emergency Medicine, Pennsylvania HospitalUniversity of Pennsylvania Health System Philadelphia

  2. STEMI • Accounts for 15-20% of cases of ACS seen in ED; UA/NSTEMI (collectively, NSTE ACS) account for majority • High-visibility diagnosis because of its high morbidity and mortality, patient and family fears and expectations, and intensity of monitoring by observers inside and outside the hospital—QI, payors, JCAHO, P4P

  3. STEMI • Pathophys: STEMI is caused by complete obstruction of an epicardial vessel, which causes angina or anginal equivalent and diagnostic ECG changes of ST-segment elevation • Recognition of STEMI, which by GLs should occur within 10 minutes of ED arrival, launches the ED-cardiology team on a fast-moving track that demands prompt stabilization, evidence-based medical management, and quick decisions regarding reperfusion therapy • Dx of STEMI is clinical + electrocardiographic and DOES NOT require assessment of cardiac markers

  4. STEMI • STEMI typically result from fissure or frank rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque • Stimulates local activation of: • platelets • coagulation cascade • complement • Platelet aggregate forms over site of plaque injury and as it matures (fibrinogen→fibrin) causes complete obstruction of distal flow. To the extent that collateral flow downstream is lacking, ischemia quickly ensues and infarction starts to occur within minutes

  5. STEMI • Pharmacologic therapy in STEMI is therefore directed at this triad of abnormal activity: • Platelet activation—anti-activation and anti-aggregation • ASA and clopidogrel • GPIs • Coagulation activation—anticoagulants • Complement activation—anti-inflammatories . . . ? Statins • In preparation for reperfusion therapy by lysis or angiography and primary PCI

  6. Guidelines for STEMI diagnosis and management • complex disease state with broad ranges of presentation and a multitude of therapeutic options • Many important and pertinent clinical studies • Information overload! • Need evidence-based guidelines to promote consistency of care and resulting better outcomes

  7. Guidelines for STEMI management • ACC/AHA Joint Task Force: 1990, 1996, 1999 • Last comprehensive update in 2004 • Widely read, lots of interest • Clear evidence scoring, sensible recommendations, temporal sequencing • “soup to nuts” • Recapitulation, interpretation, and promulgation for upstream providers in Annals of Emergency Medicine

  8. Guidelines for STEMI management • ACC/AHA Joint Task Force: presented “focused update” in December 2007 • “focus” (from upstream perspective) on reperfusion strategies and opportunities to minimize delays to reperfusion • Beta blockers • Choices of anticoagulants • New recommendations regarding clopidogrel

  9. Applying Classification of Recommendations

  10. “The Guidelines”Weighing the Evidence • Weight of evidence grades: = Data from many large, randomized trials = Data from fewer, smaller randomized trials, careful analyses of nonrandomized studies, observational registries = Expert consensus

  16. ACC/AHA 2007 STEMI Focused Update: Acute Medical Therapy a Patients routinely taking NSAIDs (except for aspirin), both nonselective as well as COX-2 selective agents, before STEMI should have those agents discontinued at the time of presentation with STEMI because of the increased risk of mortality, reinfarction, hypertension, heart failure, and myocardial rupture associated with their use. b Because of the risk of catheter thrombosis, fondaparinux should not be used as the sole anticoagulant to support PCI. An additional anticoagulant with anti-IIa activity should be administered. Antman E, et al. J Am Coll Cardiol. doi:10.1016/j.jacc.2007.10.001.

  17. 2007 ACC/AHA STEMI Focused Update Reperfusion Therapy for STEMI • STEMI patients presenting to a hospital with PCI capability should be treated with primary PCI within 90 minutes of first medical contact as a systems goal (Level of Evidence: A) • STEMI patients presenting to a hospital without PCI capability and who cannot be transferred to a PCI center and undergo PCI within 90 minutes of first medical contact should be treated with fibrinolytic therapy within 30 minutes of hospital presentation as a systems goal unless fibrinolytic therapy is contraindicated (Level of Evidence: B) Class I Modified Recommendations Antman E, et al. J Am Coll Cardiol. doi:10.1016/j.jacc.2007.10.001.

  18. Determine Whether Fibrinolysis or PCI Is Preferred No Preference for Either Strategy If Presentation Is 3 hr and There Is No Delay in Invasive Strategy However, fibrinolysis generally preferred when • Invasive strategy not an option • Vascular access difficulties • No access to skilled PCI lab • Delay to invasive strategy • Prolonged transport • Door-to-balloon time >90 min • >1 hr vs fibrinolysis (fibrin-specific agent) now Adapted with permission from Antman EM, et al.

  24. 2007 ACC/AHA STEMI Focused Update Anticoagulants as Ancillary Therapy to Reperfusion Therapy • Patients undergoing reperfusion with fibrinolytics should receive anticoagulant therapy for a minimum of 48 hours and preferably for the duration of the index hospitalization, up to 8 days (regimens other than UFH are recommended if anticoagulant therapy is given for more than 48 hours because of the risk of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia with prolonged UFH treatment) • Anticoagulants regimens with established efficacy include: • UFH • Enoxaparin • Fondaparinux New Class I Recommendation Antman E, et al. J Am Coll Cardiol. doi:10.1016/j.jacc.2007.10.001.

  25. 2007 ACC/AHA STEMI Focused Update Anticoagulants • It is reasonable for patients with STEMI who do not undergo reperfusion therapy to be treated with anticoagulant therapy (non-UFH regimen) for the duration of the index hospitalization, up to 8 days (Level of Evidence: B). Convenient strategies that can be used include those with LMWH (Level of Evidence: C) or fondaparinux (Level of Evidence: B) using the same dosing regimens as for patients who receive fibrinolytic therapy Modified Class IIa Recommendation Antman E, et al. J Am Coll Cardiol. doi:10.1016/j.jacc.2007.10.001.

  33. 2007 ACC/AHA STEMI Focused Update Thienopyridines (cont.) New Class IIa Recommendations • In patients less than 75 years of age who receive fibrinolytic therapy or who do not receive reperfusion therapy, it is reasonable to administer an oral loading dose of clopidogrel 300 mg (No data are available to guide decision making regarding an oral loading dose in patients 75 years of age or older) • Long-term maintenance therapy (eg, 1 year) with clopidogrel (75 mg per day orally) is reasonable in STEMI patients regardless of whether they undergo reperfusion with fibrinolytic therapy or do not receivereperfusion therapy Antman E, et al.

  42. 2007 ACC/AHA STEMI Focused Update Anticoagulants as Ancillary Therapy to Reperfusion Therapy in PCI • For patients undergoing PCI after having received an anticoagulant regimen, the following dosing recommendations should be followed: • For prior treatment with UFH, administer additional boluses of UFH as needed to support the procedure, taking into account whether GP IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists have been administered. Bivalirudin may also be used in patients treated previously with UFH • For prior treatment with enoxaparin, if the last SC dose was administered within the prior 8 hours, no additional enoxaparin should be given; if the last SC dose was administered at least 8 to 12 hours earlier, an IV dose of 0.3 mg per kg of enoxaparin should be given • For prior treatment with fondaparinux, administer additional IV treatment with an anticoagulant possessing anti-IIa activity, taking into account whether GP IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists have been administered New Class I Recommendation Antman E, et al. J Am Coll Cardiol. doi:10.1016/j.jacc.2007.10.001.

  43. 2007 ACC/AHA STEMI Focused Update PCI After Fibrinolysis or for Patients Not Undergoing Primary Reperfusion Modified Class IIb Recommendation • PCI of a hemodynamically significant stenosis in a patent infarct artery >24 hours after STEMI may be considered as part of an invasive strategy New Class III Recommendation • PCI of a totally occluded infarct artery >24 hours after STEMI is not recommended in asymptomatic patients with 1- or 2-vessel disease if they are hemodynamically and electrically stable and do not have evidence of severe ischemia Antman E, et al.
