Objective: We aimed to analyze the risk of cardiac rupture (CR) in aged diabetic patients with acute ST-segment elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI) who were followed up for one month, and analyze its independent risk factors.

Methods: A total of 3063 aged patients with first onset STEMI admitted to Beijing Anzhen Hospital from January 2001 to December 2020 were retrospectively included. There were 2020 patients without diabetes mellitus (DM) and 1043 patients with DM. We used propensity scores matching (PSM) method to balance baseline exposure factors between patients with or without DM, and all were divided the DM group (1043 cases) and the non-DM group (1043 cases) after the PSM. The primary outcome was CR (the composite rate of papillary muscle rupture, ventricular septum perforation, free wall rupture), which was diagnosed based on clinical manifestations and/or echocardiographic findings. Kaplan-meier survival analyses and log-rank test was used to evaluate the risk of CR between the two groups, and Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate the independent risk factors for CR.

Results: After PSM, the baseline clinical data were similar between the DM and non-DM group (all P>0.05). However, level of glycated hemoglobin was significantly higher in the DM group (P<0.05). During 1 month of follow-up, there were 55 (2.64%) cases of CR, most occurred within 48h after admission (40 cases). Among the 55 cases, 11(0.53%) had papillary muscle rupture, 18(0.86%) had ventricular septum perforation, and 26(1.25%) had free wall rupture. Kaplan-meier survival analyses detected that the DM group was associated with significantly increased risk of CR (3.36% vs. 1.92%, HR=1.532, 95% CI: 1.054-2.346, P=0.030), ventricular septum perforation (1.05% vs. 0.67%, HR=1.464, 95% CI: 1.021-2.099, P=0.038) and free wall rupture (1.63% vs. 0.86%, HR=1.861, 95% CI: 1.074-3.225, P=0.027) than those in the non-DM group. Among the 2031 aged STEMI patients without CR, 144 cases (6.90%, 144/2086) died; and among the 55 patients with CR, 37 cases (1.77%, 37/2086) died due to CR. Therefore, twenty percent (20.44%, 37/181) of death was due to CR. Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that DM (HR=1.532, 95%CI: 1.054-2.346), age (HR=1.390, 95%CI: 1.079-1.791), female (HR=1.183, 95%CI: 1.049-1.334), troponin I (HR=1.364, 95%CI: 1.108-1.679), brain natriuretic peptide (HR=1.512, 95%CI: 1.069-2.139), revascularization (HR=0.827, 95%CI: 0.731-0.936) and β-receptor blocker (HR=0.849, 95%CI: 0.760-0.948) were independent risk factors of CR (all P<0.05).

Conclusion: DM as well as a few other factors, are independent determinants of CR. CR is not a rare event among the aged STEMI patients and twenty percent of deaths are due to CR. However, large sample-sized studies are warranted to confirm these findings.

Introduction

Cardiac rupture (CR) has become a major clinical problem in patients with acute ST-segment elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI) (1). CR secondary to STEMI is one of the main causes of early mortality, and its in-hospital mortality is more than 50% (2, 3). CR usually manifests as sudden death, and patients without sudden death also involve multiple organ ischemic injury (4). Therefore, CR is a catastrophic complication of STEMI, with an incidence of 1% - 2% (57). In the past 40 years, the incidence of CR has generally shown a downward trend. The widespread use of thrombolytic therapy has reduced the mortality by 40% (8). Since the early 1990s, with the development of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), the short-term and long-term mortality of STEMI has further decreased (9, 10). In the past 20 years, primary PCI has become the preferred reperfusion strategy, and the focus of of STEMI has also shifted from the choice of reperfusion methods to the improvement of medical quality. These progress has also further reduced the incidence of CR (7, 11).

However, the improvement of medical quality in STEMI was not improve the clinical prognosis of patients with CR. Recently, the use of mechanical circulatory support has increased, new interventional therapies have been applied, and surgical techniques have been improved in the treatment of CR, but the mortality remains high (1113). Recent studies in our center showed that the in-hospital mortality rate of ventricular free wall rupture is still as high as 90% (4).

Whether diabetes affects the risk of CR in elderly STEMI patients remains controversial. The occurrence of CR is affected by many factors, including general conditions, clinical manifestations, laboratory tests and treatment. Old age, female, first myocardial infarction and infarcted myocardial area are risk factors for CR, while reperfusion, early usage of β receptor blockers, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI)/angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) are protective factors of CR. Based on the analysis of 6712 STEMI patients in our research center, we found the neutrophil count ≥ 9 × 109/L was an independent risk factor for ventricular free wall rupture, but DM was not an risk factor for CR. Diabetes is a common complication among elderly STEMI patients, which will significantly increase the risk of adverse cardiovascular events (14). Recently, we retrospectively analyzed a total of 10284 patients with STEMI admitted to Beijing Anzhen Hospital from January 2012 to March 2015. Among them, 81 were diagnosed with CR, including 67 cases of acute left ventricular free wall rupture and 14 cases of ventricular septum perforation. Although patients with CR were associated with higher levels of fasting blood glucose, the incidence rate of DM was similar between the two groups. Logistic regression analysis did not detect any significant relationship between DM and CR, and those with advanced age, recurrent myocardial infarction, low systolic blood pressure, left anterior descending artery disease, decreased hemoglobin, low total protein, and high blood magnesium were prone to have CR(all P<0.05) (15). However, patients with diabetes can not only affect wound healing after trauma, but also affect the effect of coronary artery reperfusion, which is strongly related to the occurrence of CR (16). Therefore, whether DM was an independent risk factor of CR remains inconclusive.

We aimed to analyze the risk of CR in aged diabetic patients with STEMI who admitted to Beijing Anzhen Hospital from January 2013 to December 2020 and were followed up for one month, and also evaluate the association between DM and CR.

Methods

Patients

This is a retrospective cohort study. A total of 3063 aged patients with STEMI who were consecutively admitted to Beijing Anzhen Hospital from January 2013 to December 2020 were included. There were 2020 patients without DM and 1043 patients with DM. According to the propensity score matching method, all were divided into the DM group (n=1043) and the non-DM group (n=1043).

Inclusion criteria: (1) aged 60-87 years old; (2) diagnosed as STEMI based on clinical manifestations, myocardial enzymes (CK-MB, cTNI/cTNT) and ECG results (17); (3) had complete clinical data and laboratory examination data; (4) had complete echocardiographic findings performed in-hospital and within one-month follow-up after discharge; (5) with the permission of patient.

Exclusion criteria: (1) had old myocardial infarction; (2) had congenital heart disease before admission; (3) combined with aortic dissection; (4) had severe lung, liver and kidney function failure; (5) had serious infection; (6) had malignant tumor, with expected survival time of less than 1 year; (7) had unclear echocardiographic findings; (8) had incomplete clinical data and/or prognosis.

This study meets the requirements of medical ethics and has been approved by the ethics committee of Beijing Anzhen Hospital (ethics number: KS2022068).

Data collection

We searched the HIS electronic medical record system database of our hospital and extract patients’ data recorded within 24h after admission, including basic demograpic information (age, sex, body mass index [BMI], current smoking), past medical history (duration of diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, transient ischemic attack or stroke, atrial fibrillation, peripheral artery disease, chronic kidney disease), hemodynamic parameters (heart rate and blood pressure at admission), and blood biochemical test performed within 24h after admission (fasting blood glucose [FBG], glycated hemoglobin [HbA1c], hemoglobin, white blood cell [WBC] count, platelet count, serum creatinine, urea nitrogen, brain natriuretic peptide [BNP], cardiac troponin I [TNI]), transthoracic echocardiographic findings (left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF], left ventricular end-systolic diameter [LVESd], left ventricular end-diastolic diameter [LVEDd]), coronary angiographic findings (left main artery or three branch lesions, Gensini score), revascularization method (thrombolysis, percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass grafting) and drug treatment (dual antiplatelet therapy, warfarin, new oral anticoagulant [NOAC], ACEI, ARB, angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI), β-receptor blockers, statins).

Gensini score

The patients’ coronary artery stenosis was judged according to the Gensini score. All patients underwent quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) or CT angiography coronary angiography (CTA). The results of QCA or CTA were independently analyzed and judged by two professional doctors. The degrees of luminal stenosis <25%, 25%―<50%, 50%―<75%, 75%―<90%, 90%―<99% and 99%―100% were regarded as 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 points, respectively. Finally, according to the degree of stenosis and the stenosis coefficient, the patient’s Gensini score was calculated (18).

Diagnosis of CR

Diagnosis of CR was based on clinical manifestations and/or echocardiographic findings. Papillary muscle rupture was suggested by physical examination with a holo-systolic murmur across the precordium, and a transthoracic echocardiogram revealed severe mitral regurgitation, and a transesophageal echocardiogram detected complete disruption of the mitral leaflet, chordal apparatus, and/or the papillary muscle (19). Ventricular free wall rupture was diagnosed by the presence of echo-signal free space of the free wall or presence of pericardial effusion, and Color Doppler showed blood flow shunt between the ventricle and the pericardium when patients developed sudden onset of electro-mechanic dissociation (characterized by cardiogenic shock, conscious disturbance, and pulseless electric activity) (19). Ventricular septum rupture was suggested by physical examination with strong cardiac murmur and diagnosed by echocardiography with presence of echo signal-free pace of the ventricular septum and Color Doppler showed blood flow signal across the ventricular septum (19).

Main outcome and follow-up

All patients were followed up within one month after admission. The primary outcome was CR (the composite rate of papillary muscle rupture, ventricular septum perforation and free wall rupture), which was diagnosed based on clinical manifestations and/or echocardiographic findings (19).

Propensity score matching

The matching ratio is 1:1, and the caliper value is 0.2. The patients’ age, female, smoking, hypertension, chronic renal disease, heart rate, diastolic blood pressure, FBG, hemoglobin, WBC count, TNI, BNP, LVEF, Gensini score, revascularization and ACEI/ARB/ARNI were the covariates, and whether CR occurred was the dependent variable.

Statistical analyses

Descriptive characteristics were summarized as the mean ± standard deviation, medians with interquartile ranges (IQRs), and frequencies with percentages (%), when applicable. Comparisons of continuous variables were analyzed by using t tests, and comparisons of categorical variables were analyzed by using the chi-squared test or Fisher’s exact test. The Cox proportional hazards regression model was utilized to analyze the relationship between DM and risk of CR. Multiple potential confounders in this study were also considered, including age, female sex, TNI, BNP, and revascularization. Using the log-rank test, the cumulative incidence of CR was computed by using the Kaplan-Meier survival curve.

All of the statistical analyses were performed by using IBM SPSS software (version 23.0, SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL) and associated packages. Two-tailed P values <0.05 were considered to be statistically significant.

Results

Baseline clinical data before PSM

As shown in Table 1, before PSM, there were 3063 aged STEMI patients, 1573 were women (51.4%), with an average age of 75.1 ± 9.6 years. There were significant differences between the two groups in age, female ratio, BMI, rates of current smoker, peripheral artery disease, heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blod pressure, fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, hemoglobin, serum creatinine, TNI, BNP, Gensini score, LVEF, LVESd, LVEDd, revascularization rate and the application rate of NOAC, β-receptor blocker, ACEI/ARB/ARNI and statin (all P<0.05). Other data were similar between the two groups, and the differences were not statistically significant (P>0.05).

Rate of CR during follow-up

There were 55 (2.64%) aged STEMI patients with CR, most (40 cases, 72.7%) occurred within 48h after admission, and the median occurrence time was 24h after admission (5h, 96h).

Among the 55 cases of CR, there were 11 cases (0.53%) of papillary muscle rupture, 18 cases (0.86%) of ventricular septal perforation, and 26 cases (1.25%) of ventricular free wall rupture (Table 3).

Kaplan-meier survival analysis and log-rank test results showed that the incidence of overall CR (3.36% vs. 1.92%, HR=1.532, 95% CI: 1.054-2.346, P=0.030) (Figure 1) in the DM group was significantly higher than that in the non-DM group. Additionally, the incidences of ventricular septum perforation (1.05% vs. 0.67%, HR=1.464, 95% CI: 1.021-2.099, P=0.038) and free wall rupture (1.63% vs. 0.86%, HR=1.861, 95% CI: 1.074-3.225, P=0.027) were significantly increased in the DM group than those in the non-DM. However, the incidence of papillary muscle rupture were similar between the two groups (0.67% vs. 0.38%, HR=1.315, 95% CI: 0.982-1.761, P=0.066).

Survival of patients with STEMI

Among the 2031 aged STEMI patients without CR, 144 cases (6.90%, 144/2086) died; and among the 55 patients with CR, 37 cases (1.77%, 37/2086) died due to CR. Therefore, twenty percent (20.44%, 37/181) of death was due to CR. Of the 11 patients with papillary muscle rupture, 4 cases were completely ruptured, complicated with acute left heart failure, and died after rescue. The remaining 7 cases underwent valve and chordae tendineae repair, and survived after 1 month follow-up. Meanwhile, of the 18 patients with ventricular septum perforation, 5 died due to cardiogenic shock; the remaining 13 patients underwent surgical repair. However, 10 survived and 3 died after operation. Of the 26 patients with free wall rupture, only 1 patient underwent surgery and survived, and the remaining 25 patients died. Therefore, among the 55 patients with CR, 37 cases (67.3%) died after a follow-up of 1 month, most of them had free wall rupture (25 cases) or ventricular septum perforation (8 cases). Therefore, among the 55 cases of CR, only 8 cases (32.7%) survived, and all received cardiac surgery.

Risk factors of CR

The results of univariate cox regression analysis (Table 4) showed that diabetes, age, female, chronic renal disease, heart rate, fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, TNI, WBC count, BNP, serum creatinine, revascularization, β-receptor blocker, ACEI/ARB/ARNI were important risk factors of CR (P<0.05).

Discussion

At present, although the incidence of CR is significantly reduced, it is still an important cause of death in elderly patients with STEMI. In our study, among the aged patients with STEMI, 55 (2.64%) had CR, which was slightly higher than previous studies. It may be related to the aged patients included in this study. In addition, previous epidemiological studies have detected that CR usually occurred within one week, mostly within 3-5 days after STEMI. Similarly, our study also confirmed that in aged patients with STEMI, CR mostly occurred within 48h after admission. Therefore, in clinical practice, we should also pay attention to the high risk of CR in aged patients with STEMI.

Whether DM was an independent risk factor of CR has been controversial (11, 12). In the APEX-STEMI study, 5745 patients with STEMI were included, with a median age of 68 years. The researchers found 52 cases (0.91%) of CR during follow-up, including 30 cases (0.52%) of free wall rupture, 15 cases (0.26%) of papillary muscle rupture, and 10 cases (0.17%) of ventricular septum perforation. However, they found that there was no significant difference in the incidence of DM betwee patients with or without CR (P>0.05). Additionally, multivariate logistic regression analyses did not detect any significant association between DM and the risk of CR (P>0.05) (13). However, in another study which enrolled 148881 aged patients (67-71 years) with first-onset STEMI, all were divided into the CR group (n=408, with free wall rupture) and the control group (n=148473, without CR). They found that the occurrence of DM history was significantly lower than that in the control group (18% vs. 24%), and DM was a protective factor of ventricular free wall rupture (OR=0.67,95%CI: 0.52-0.87) (14). Meanwhile, for patients with papillary muscle rupture or ventricular septum perforation, diabetes is more rare (15, 16), and several published studies did not detect the association between DM and the risk of papillary muscle rupture or ventricular septum perforation (P>0.05). Therefore, Whether DM was a risk factor of CR in aged patients with STEMI is still inconclusive.

We confirmed that DM was associated with increased risk of CR. In our study, 2086 aged patients with first-onset STEMI were included, and 55 patients (2.64%) had CR during 1 month follow-up. We found that DM was associated with significantly increased risk of CR (3.36% vs. 1.92%, HR=1.532, 95% CI: 1.054-2.346, P=0.030). Furthermore, the risk of ventricular septum perforation (1.05% vs. 0.67%, HR=1.464, 95% CI: 1.021-2.099, P=0.038) and free wall rupture (1.63% vs. 0.86%, HR=1.861, 95% CI: 1.074-3.225, P=0.027) were also marked higher in the DM group than those in the non-DM group. However, the incidence of papillary muscle rupture were similar between the two groups (0.67% vs. 0.38%, HR=1.315, 95% CI: 0.982-1.761, P=0.066). Therefore, DM as well as a few other factors, were independent determinants of CR.

There were several strengths in our study. First, our study’s sample size was relatively large. We enrolled 3063 aged patients with STEMI who were consecutively admitted to our hospital from January 2013 to December 2020. There were 2020 patients without DM (non-DM group) and 1043 patients with DM (DM group). Second, the baseline clinical data was comparable between those with or wihout DM. Previously, there was no study to specifically compare the risk of CR between the DM and non-DM groups, and there were significant differences in baseline clinical data between those with or without DM. In our study, using the PSM method, patients were divided into the DM group (n=1043) and the non-DM group (n=1043), and the baseline clinical data were almost all comparable between the DM and non-DM group, except the level of HbA1c. Third, only aged patients with first-onset STEMI were included, and those were the high-risk patients for developing CR. Fourth, all patients were followed up for 1 month after admission. Most previous studies only reported the risk of CR occurred in-hospital and many CR cases would be missed. However, large sample-sized studies are warranted to confirm these findings.

Diabetes involved multiple cardiac repair mechanisms after STEMI. Myocardial repair consisted of several stages: (1) early repair stage (within 72h in the early stage); (2) late repair and proliferation stage (within 72h-10d in the early stage); (3) maturation of proliferative tissue and ventricular remodeling stage (lasting for several months) (19, 20). CR mainly occurred in the early and late repair stage, that is, within 7d after the occurrence of STEMI (21). In the first 72h after MI, the myocardial cells in the infarct focus die, leading to the myocardial thinning in this area. At the same time, the release of dead cells in the infarct focus and the lysis of extracellular matrix could generate a large number of risk related molecular signals, which can be captured by the pattern recognition receptor on the immune cells, thus causing the activation of immune cells and infiltration into the infarct focus (22). The infiltrating immune cells not only engulf the cell debris in the infarcted area, but also release various enzymes, further degrading the extracellular matrix and making the myocardium more fragile, and eventually leading to myocardial damage (23). This aseptic inflammatory process can be well controlled by subsequent anti-inflammatory and proliferative processes, and recent studies have found that this processes were closely related to a class of specialized proresolving mediators (SPMs) (2426). Previous studies have reported that SPM can inhibit the infiltration of pro-inflammatory polylobulated neutrophils into tissues, promote macrophage differentiation towards an anti-inflammatory phenotype, and enhance their ability to phagocytose apoptotic neutrophils. In addition, it had the function of regulating the transition of T cells from an activated state to a regulated state (27). However, in patients with DM, serum SPM and SPM related synthase 15-LOX-1 were significantly lower. In addition, among the DM patients, the inflammatory digestion process in the infarct focus was damaged, which led to the expansion of the ischemic focus (28). Moreover, the content of pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype macrophages was significantly increased in DM patients, and further increased the risk of CR development (2931).

Many other factors were also associated with the occurrence of CR. Previous studies confirmed that age, medical history, clinical manifestations, biochemical test findings, and treatment (3234). Qian et al. (34) designed a clinical risk scoring system for predicting CR in STEMI patients. Seven factors were associated with the risk of CR, including age, gender, heart rate, myocardial infarction site, hemoglobin count, white blood cell count, and admission time. Meanwhile, early use of ACEI/ARB and β-receptor blockers could help prevent cardiac rupture. Revascularization, especially the primary PCI should be carried out as soon as possible to minimize the occurrence of CR (35, 36). Similar to previous findings, we found that age (HR=1.390, 95%CI: 1.079-1.791), female (HR=1.183, 95%CI: 1.049-1.334), troponin I (HR=1.364, 95%CI: 1.108-1.679), BNP (HR=1.512, 95%CI: 1.069-2.139), revascularization (HR=0.827, 95%CI: 0.731-0.936) and β-receptor blocker (HR=0.849, 95%CI: 0.760-0.948) were also strongly related to the occurrence of CR (all P<0.05). Therefore, considering the extremely high risk of mortality with CR, it is necessary to further confirm its predictive factors, in order to prevent and interven early and timely (37, 38).

Limitations

There are several limitations in our study. (1) It was conducted in a single center, and the patients’s characteristics maybe different from other centers. (2) Our study’s sample size was not large enough. The risk of CR is relatively low. Therefore, larger sample-sized studies are warranted to confirm the association between DM and CR. (3) CR was diagnosed by echocardiography. However, echocardiography examination is operator dependent, and several patients’ follow-up visits were conducted in non-teaching hospital. Therefore, some CR cases might be missed. (4) The follow-up period was relatively short. Meanwhile, follow-up mainly relied on outpatient services, and some therapeutic information could have been missed, which might affect the incidence of CR (39). Therefore, high qualified studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Conclusions

DM as well as a few other factors, are independent determinants of CR. CR is not a rare event among the aged STEMI patients. Meanwhile, twenty percent (20.44%, 37/181) of deaths are due to CR. However, large sample-sized studies are warranted to confirm these findings.
