    Abstract: The TALOS-AMI study highlighted the effectiveness of a de-escalation strategy shifting from ticagrelor to clopidogrel 1 month after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), resulting in significant reduction in clinical events, primarily attributed to a substantial decrease in bleeding events. Nevertheless, the impact of this strategy on outcomes based on sex remains unclear. Methods This was a post-hoc analysis of the TALOS-AMI study. At 1 month after PCI, patients who remained adherent to aspirin and ticagrelor without experiencing major adverse events were randomized into either the de-escalation group (clopidogrel plus aspirin) or the active control group (ticagrelor plus aspirin) for an additional 12 months. The primary endpoint encompassed a composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, and Bleeding Academic Research Consortium bleeding type 2 or greater at 12 months after randomization. Results Among the 2,697 patients included in this study, 454 (16.8%) were women. Women, characterized by older age and a higher prevalence of hypertension, diabetes, impaired renal function, and non-ST-segment myocardial infarction, exhibited a lower primary endpoint at 12 months compared to men [adjusted hazards ratio (HR), 0.60; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.37–0.95; P = 0.03]. Compare to the active control group, the de-escalation group demonstrated a reduced risk of the primary endpoint in both women (adjusted HR, 0.38; 95% CI, 0.15–0.95; P = 0.039) and men (adjusted HR, 0.56; 95% CI, 0.40–0.79; P = 0.001) (interaction P = 0.46). Conclusions In stabilized patients post-PCI with drug-eluting stents for acute myocardial infarction, the primary endpoint was lower among women compared to men. In this cohort, the benefits of an unguided de-escalation strategy from ticagrelor to clopidogrel were comparable in women and men.

    Abstract: The use of a cardioverter defibrillator for the primary prevention of sudden cardiac death is not recommended within 40 days after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We investigated the predictors for early cardiac death among patients who were admitted for AMI and successfully discharged. Methods Consecutive patients with AMI were enrolled in a multicenter prospective registry. Among 10,719 patients with AMI, 554 patients with in-hospital death and 62 patients with early non-cardiac death were excluded. Early cardiac death was defined as a cardiac death within 90 days after index AMI. Results Early cardiac death after discharge occurred in 168/10,103 (1.7%) patients. A defibrillator was not implanted in all patients with early cardiac death. Killip class ≥3, chronic kidney disease stage ≥4, severe anemia, cardiopulmonary support usage, no dual antiplatelet therapy at discharge, and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤35% were independent predictors for early cardiac death. The incidence of early cardiac death according to the number of factors added to LVEF criteria in each patient was 3.03% for 0 factor, 8.11% for 1 factor, and 9.16% for ≥2 factors. Each model that sequentially added the factors in the presence of LVEF criteria showed a significant gradual increase in predictive accuracy and an improvement in reclassification capability. A model with all factors showed C-index 0.742 [95% CI 0.702–0.781], p & lt; 0.001; IDI 0.024 [95% CI 0.015–0.033], p & lt; 0.001; and NRI 0.644 [95% CI 0.492–0.795], p & lt; 0.001. Conclusion We identified six predictors for early cardiac death after discharge from AMI. These predictors would help to discriminate high-risk patients over current LVEF criteria and to provide an individualized therapeutic approach in the subacute stage of AMI.
