Heart:Protection from reperfusion injury Mervyn B. Forman, MD, PhD, FACC Atlanta Cardiovascular Associates 1,000,000 Americans suffer a heart attack (AMI) annually 200,000 (20%) die during or soon after AMI Survivors: up to 15-fold greater risk of death Survivors: 22% of males and 46% of females are disable by heart failure TOO MUCH HEART DAMAGE IN AFTERMATH OF AMI!!
Angioplasty (with or without stenting) Thrombolytic Therapy Myocardial Reperfusion Injury
Myocardial Reperfusion Injury • Definition: Conversion of reversibly injured endothelial and myocardial cells to irreversibly injured cells during the peri-reperfusion period. Not synonymous with entity of acceleration of necrosis of cells that are already irreversibly injured.
Myocardial Reperfusion Injury • Experimental Evidence of Reperfusion Injury • MRI evidence of time-related infarct extension after reperfusion • Enhanced myocardial salvage with therapeutic agents administered after reperfusion • Differential histology between reperfused and non-reperfused myocardium

“…because animal studies demonstrate that adenosine’s beneficial effects are lost if myocardial ischemia occurs for more than 3 h , adenosine would prevent reperfusion injury only in patients receiving adenosine within the first 3 h after coronary occlusion. Therefore, a subset analysis of the adenosine groups who were reperfused within 3 h may yield an even greater reduction in clinical end points.” JACC 47, 1235, March , 2006 (letter to editor of JACC by Forman and Jackson)
European Heart Journal 27: 2400-2405, Oct., 2006 Aims The purpose of this analysis was to determine whether the efficacy of adenosine vs. placebo was dependent on the timing of reperfusion therapy in the second Acute Myocardial Infarction Study of Adenosine (AMISTAD-II). Methods and Results Patients presenting with ST-segment elevation anterior AMI were randomized toreceive placebo vs. adenosine (50 or 70 mg/kg/min) for 3 h starting within 15 min of reperfusiontherapy. In the present post hoc hypothesis generating study, the results were stratified according to the timing of reperfusion, i.e. or , the median 3.17 h, and by reperfusion modality. In patients receiving reperfusion <3.17 h, adenosine compared with placebo significantly reduced 1-month mortality (5.2 vs. 9.2%, respectively, P=0.014), 6-month mortality (7.3 vs. 11.2%, P =0.033), and the occurrence of the primary 6-month composite clinical endpoint of death, in-hospital CHF, or rehospitalization for CHF at 6 months (12.0 vs. 17.2%, P =0.022).Patients reperfused beyond 3 h did not benefit from adenosine. ConclusionIn this post hoc analysis, 3 h adenosine infusion administered as an adjunct to reperfusion therapy within the first 3.17 h onset of evolving anterior ST-segment elevation AMI enhanced early and late survival, and reduced the composite clinical endpoint of death or CHF at 6 months.
DEATH AT 6 MONTHS IF THERAPY WITHIN 3 HOURS Adenosine: 7.3% (n=716) Placebo: 11.2% (n=350) P=0.033 Adenosine: 800,000/y x 0.073 = 58,400/y Placebo: 800,000/y x 0.112 = 89,600/y Lives Saved: 89,600/y – 58,400/y = 31,200/y
Key Points • Adenosine reduces infarct size • Adenosine reduces risk of death AMI patients who undergo reperfusion therapy:
What is the “No-Reflow” Phenomenon? The “no-reflow” phenomenon is defined as impaired tissue perfusion despite successful treatment of the target macrovascular lesion.
How often does the “No-Reflow” Phenomenon Occur? 29-44% of reperfused patients 50-80% of reperfused patients with LAD lesion
Does the “No-Reflow” Phenomenon Affect Outcome? YES! Correlates with infarct size, ventricular function and early and late mortality
What is the Mechanism of the “No-Reflow” Phenomenon? Multifactorial: Damage to the microvascular endothelium Wash-in of potent vasoconstrictors Neutrophil activation Platelet activation
