Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Cardiac and vascular diseases represent the leading cause of death worldwide. The limits of interventional cardiology are going to expand new patient subsets, which is also due to the growing variety of procedures that can be performed. Moreover, patients that are currently being treated have more comorbidities and require specific skills due to the aging population.

In this Special Issue, we will discuss current challenges in interventional cardiology and peripheral interventions, as well as specific supports to cardiac interventions such as mechanical circulatory supports. We will also discuss advancements in cardiac structural interventions.

Background: Malnutrition in cardiovascular disease is associated with poor prognosis, especially in patients with heart failure and acute coronary syndrome (ACS). High bleeding risk is also linked to coronary artery disease prognosis, including ACS. However, whether the extent of malnutrition and high bleeding risk have a cumulative impact on the long-term prognosis of patients with ACS who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention remains unclear. Methods: We analyzed 275 patients with ACS treated with percutaneous coronary intervention. The Controlling Nutritional Status score and Japanese version of the Academic Research Consortium for High Bleeding Risk criteria (J-HBR) were retrospectively evaluated. The primary and secondary outcomes were adjusted using the inverse probability treatment weighting method. Results: The prevalence of moderate or severe malnutrition in this cohort was 16%. Kaplan–Meier analysis showed a significantly higher incidence of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in patients who were moderately or severely malnourished than in those who were not. Notably, the incidence of these major events was similar between severely malnourished patients with J-HBR and those without. Conclusion: Moderate or severe malnutrition has a significant impact on the long-term prognosis of patients with ACS who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention. Full article
