Objective:We examined the effects of peri-procedural intensive glycemic control (IGC) during early percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on restenosis rate in hyperglycemic patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).Research Design and Methods:A total of 165 hyperglycemic patients (glucose ≥140 mg/dl) with first STEMI undergoing PCI were studied. Patients were randomized to IGC for almost 24 h after PCI (n = 82; glucose, 80-140 mg/dl) followed by multidose sc insulin during the hospital stay or conventional glycemic control (CGC; n = 83; glucose, 180-200 mg/dl) followed by conventional therapy. Coronary angiography was performed at study entry and at 6-month follow-up. Blood samples for glycemia, hemoglobin A1c, inflammatory markers (C-reactive protein and TNF-α), monocyte chemoattractant-protein-1, and oxidative stress (nitrotyrosine) were collected immediately before and 24 h, 30 and 180 d after PCI.Results:After insulin infusion, mean plasma glucose during the peri-procedural period was greater in the CGC group than in the IGC group (CGC, 191 ± 15 mg/dl; IGC, 145 ± 35 mg/dl; P< 0.001). After the insulin infusion period, the levels of markers of oxidative stress (nitrotyrosine), inflammation (C-reactive protein, TNF-α), and monocyte chemoattractant-protein-1 were significantly higher in CGC patients compared with IGC patients. Moreover, ICG during PCI reduces restenosis by half (48 and 24%) at 6 months. During follow-up, there was no difference in mortality rates, glucose, inflammatory and oxidative stress markers among the groups. In-stent restenosis was positively associated with mean plasma glucose levels as well as oxidative stress and inflammatory markers during the insulin infusion period.Conclusions:In hyperglycemic patients with STEMI, optimal peri-procedural glycemic control by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation may improve the outcome after PCI.

Abstract

Objective:We examined the effects of peri-procedural intensive glycemic control (IGC) during early percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on restenosis rate in hyperglycemic patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).Research Design and Methods:A total of 165 hyperglycemic patients (glucose ≥140 mg/dl) with first STEMI undergoing PCI were studied. Patients were randomized to IGC for almost 24 h after PCI (n = 82; glucose, 80-140 mg/dl) followed by multidose sc insulin during the hospital stay or conventional glycemic control (CGC; n = 83; glucose, 180-200 mg/dl) followed by conventional therapy. Coronary angiography was performed at study entry and at 6-month follow-up. Blood samples for glycemia, hemoglobin A1c, inflammatory markers (C-reactive protein and TNF-α), monocyte chemoattractant-protein-1, and oxidative stress (nitrotyrosine) were collected immediately before and 24 h, 30 and 180 d after PCI.Results:After insulin infusion, mean plasma glucose during the peri-procedural period was greater in the CGC group than in the IGC group (CGC, 191 ± 15 mg/dl; IGC, 145 ± 35 mg/dl; P< 0.001). After the insulin infusion period, the levels of markers of oxidative stress (nitrotyrosine), inflammation (C-reactive protein, TNF-α), and monocyte chemoattractant-protein-1 were significantly higher in CGC patients compared with IGC patients. Moreover, ICG during PCI reduces restenosis by half (48 and 24%) at 6 months. During follow-up, there was no difference in mortality rates, glucose, inflammatory and oxidative stress markers among the groups. In-stent restenosis was positively associated with mean plasma glucose levels as well as oxidative stress and inflammatory markers during the insulin infusion period.Conclusions:In hyperglycemic patients with STEMI, optimal peri-procedural glycemic control by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation may improve the outcome after PCI.
