dc.description.abstractIntroduction Beta-blockers are recommended after ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), but their benefit in patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is unclear. Methods Consecutive patients discharged in sinus rhythm after STEMI between January 2010 and April 2015 were followed until December 2017. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was performed in 969 (99.7%, including 112 with rescue PCI) and three (0.3%) received only thrombolytic therapy without rescue PCI. Results Of these 972 patients, mean age 62.6±13.5 years, 212 (21.8%) were women and 835 (85.9%) were prescribed beta-blockers at discharge. Patients who did not receive beta-blockers had more comorbidities than those who did, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (14.6% vs. 4.2%), anemia (8.0% vs. 3.7%), and cancer (7.3% vs. 2.8%), and more frequently had inferior STEMI (75.9% vs. 56.0%) and high-grade atrioventricular block (13.1% vs. 5.3%) (all p<0.01). After a mean follow-up of 49.6±24.9 months, beta-blocker treatment at discharge was independently associated with lower mortality (HR 0.61, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.38-0.96, p=0.03). This effect was present in 192 patients with LVEF ≤40% (HR 0.57, 95% 95% CI 0.34-0.97, p=0.04) but was not clear in 643 patients with LVEF >40% (HR 0.67, 95% 95% CI 0.25-1.76, p=0.42). Conclusion In the LVEF >40% group, the results raise reasonable doubts about the real benefit of systematic use of beta-blockers as treatment for these patients. These findings reinforce the need for large randomized clinical trials within this group of patients.spa
dc.description.abstractResumo Objetivo Os betabloqueantes são recomendados após enfarte agudo do miocárdio com elevação do segment ST (STEMI). No entanto, é pouco claro o seu benefício em doentes com fração de ejeção ventricular esquerda (FEVE) preservada. Métodos Doentes consecutivos com alta hospitalar em ritmo sinusal após STEMI entre janeiro de 2010 e abril de 2015 foram seguidos até dezembro de 2017. A intervenção coronária percutânea (ICP) foi feita em 969 doentes (99,7%, inclusive 112 com ICP de recurso), os restantes 3 (0,3%) receberam apenas terapêutica trombolítica sem ICP de recurso. Resultados Dos 972 doentes, idade média 62,6 ± 13,5 anos, 212 (21,8%) eram mulheres e 835 (85,9%) estavam a medicados com betabloqueantes no momento da alta hospitalar. Os doentes não medicados com betabloqueantes apresentaram mais comorbilidades do que os tratados com esses fármacos, inclusive doença pulmonar obstrutiva crónica (14,6% versus 4,2%), anemia (8,0% versus 3,7%) e neoplasia (7,3% versus 2,8%) e tiveram mais frequentemente STEMI inferior (75,9% versus 56,0%), bloqueio auriculoventricular de alto grau (13,1% versus 5,3%). Todos os valores corresponderam a p < 0,01. Após um seguimento médio de 49,6 ± 24,9 meses, a terapêutica com betabloqueantes no momento da alta hospitalar associou-se independentemente à mortalidade inferior (hazard ratio [HR] 0,61, intervalo de confiança [IC] 0,38-0,96, p = 0,03). Esse efeito verificou-se em 192 doentes com FEVE ≤ 40% (HR 0,57, IC 0,34-0,97, p = 0,04).No entanto, não foi clara essa vantagem em 643 doentes com FEVE > 40% (HR 0,67, IC 0,25-1,76, p = 0,42). Conclusão No grupo com FEVE > 40%, os resultados levantam dúvidas sobre o benefício real da administração sistemática de betabloqueantes como forma de tratamento para esses doentes. Esses achados reforçam a necessidade de grandes ensaios clínicos aleatorizados sobre esse grupo de doentes.spa
