days after acute MI and followed for a mean of 25 months. Overall mortality and adverse cardiac events were similar in the diltiazem and placebo groups, but a significant interaction was observed between diltiazem treatment and pulmonary congestion (detected radiographically) or LV systolic dysfunction (EF < 40%). Among the more than 75% of trial participants without pulmonary congestion, diltiazem conferred benefit with a sig­nificant (23%) reduction in adverse cardiac events; in the nearly 20% of patients with pulmonary congestion or LV dysfunction, diltiazem was associated with a significant (41%) increase in adverse cardiac events.
150
A meta-analysis of the trials indicated that CCBs did not reduce
mortality or morbidity in acute MI.
151
The main side effects of CCBs are hypotension, bradycardia, AV block, and worsening CHF. Potential risk to the fetus requires caution in pregnant patients.
Recommendations
In aggregate, these results suggest that, while the nondihydropyri­dine CCBs verapamil and diltiazem may be beneficial after acute MI for patients with no signs of CHF and preserved LV systolic function, they should be avoided for any patient with CHF or LV systolic dysfunction. Even among patients with preserved EF after AMI, the weight of evidence favors long-term use of β-blockers for all patients without contraindications, which should not be limited by prior use of CCBs. The nondihydropyridine CCBs, such as verapamil and diltiazem, may be useful for heart rate control for tachyarrhythmias when β-blocker therapy is contraindicated or ineffective. Verapamil, diltiazem, and amlodipine can be useful for treatment of angina or hypertension in select patients after STEMI when β-blockers (and/or nitrates) are ineffective, not tolerated, or contraindicated and in whom there are no serious contraindications. Routine use of CCBs in patients with STEMI, however, is not recommended (see the Appendix).
ANTIDYSRHYTHMIC THERAPY
Cardiac arrhythmias are common after STEMI both before and after reperfusion. Most episodes of ventricular fibrillation (VF) and ventricular tachycardia (VT) occur in the first 48 hours. As many as 10% of patients receiving fibrinolytic therapy in the GUSTO-I trial had sustained ventricular arrhythmias complicat­ing their hospital course. in early MI, a routine therapy in the prefibrinolytic era, is no longer recommended and, in general, antidysrhythmic drugs should be used with great caution in patients with acute MI. In the GUSTO-I and GUSTO-IIb trials, the prophylactic use of lidocaine in STEMI patients showed no mortality benefit. meta-analysis of lidocaine use in 14 trials found a 33% reduction in the risk of primary VF, but no mortality benefit and an increased risk of bradycardia and fatal asystole.
The Cardiac Arrhythmia Suppression Trial (CAST) double-blind, randomized, controlled study designed to test the hypothesis that suppression of frequent premature ventricular complexes (PVC) with class I antidysrhythmic agents after acute MI would reduce mortality. In CAST, patients randomly assigned to receive the class I antidysrhythmic drugs (encainide, flecainide,

and moricizine) showed effective suppression of the PVCs and nonsustained VT, but had worse outcomes; mortality was sig­nificantly greater among patients prescribed encainide and flecainide than patients given placebo. The results of CAST dramatically altered management of ventricular ectopy following acute MI; use of class I antidysrhythmic drugs in that setting is generally avoided.
Recommendations
A conservative approach to arrhythmia management is recom­mended, with close monitoring during the early post-MI period. Evidence that intravenous β-blockers decrease early VF
156
supports
the routine early use of β-blockers for patients with or showing high risk for VT or VF. For significant ventricular arrhythmias, the use of intravenous amiodarone and lidocaine may be con­sidered, in accordance with the Adult Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support 2015 American Heart Association Guidelines Update for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care.
157
The ACC/AHA guidelines of ventricu­lar arrhythmia management in STEMI are summarized in the Appendix.
MORPHINE AND OTHER ANALGESIC AGENTS
Pain relief is an important aspect of the early management of acute MI; morphine sulfate is the analgesic of choice for managing pain in these patients. Morphine binds to central nervous system receptors, preventing them from transmitting pain signals to the brain. In acute MI, morphine has analgesic, anxiolytic, and hemodynamic properties. It relieves pain that contributes to the hyperadrenergic state, decreases blood pressure via arterial dilation and venodilation, decreases heart rate via increased vagal tone and withdrawal of sympathetic tone, decreases myocardial oxygen demand, and relieves pulmonary edema. A dose of 1 to 4 mg intravenously, repeated at 5- to 15-minute intervals, is commonly used.
The most common side effects of morphine are nausea and vomiting, presenting in 20% of patients. Adverse effects include hypotension, especially prominent in patients who are volume depleted, have been given vasodilator therapy, or have infarction of the right ventricle. Treatment of morphine-induced hypoten­sion includes placing the patient in a supine or Trendelenburg position and administering intravenous saline boluses, with the addition of atropine (0.5 to 1.5 mg intravenously) for concomitant bradycardia. Rarely, the narcotic antidote nalox­one (0.4 to 2 mg intravenously) or an inotropic agent may be needed. Respiratory compromise from morphine overdose can be treated with naloxone and, very rarely, may require intubation for respiratory support. Other narcotics should be considered in patients with severe side effects or allergic reactions to morphine.
It is noteworthy that an observational study reported increased mortality in NSTE ACS patients treated with morphine, led the ACC/AHA to downgrade its recommendation from class I to class IIb.9 More recent analyses have shown that morphine administration is associated with a significant delay in onset of effective platelet inhibition by clopidogrel,

in patients undergoing primary PCI for STEMI, potentially by delaying gastric emptying and/or gastrointestinal absorption of the drugs.
Evidence from multiple observational studies has suggested that NSAIDs and COX-2 inhibitors (COXIBs) may be associated with an increased risk of adverse events among patients with MI receiving antiplatelet therapy, potentially due to interactions that compete with the beneficial actions of aspirin. Nonselective NSAIDs in high doses and COXIBs in all dosages have been observed to increase mortality in patients with previous MI and should be avoided.
162
Adverse effects of nonselective NSAIDs are attributed to loss of gastrointestinal protection and hemostasis via COX-1 inhibition and loss of antiinflammatory activity via COX-2 inhibition.13 COXIB-induced reduction of PGI2 and unchecked COX-1 activity result in continued TXA2 production and increased risk of thrombosis that may be harmful during acute MI. COXIB-induced antiinflammatory effects may be beneficial for progression of atherosclerosis but harmful during infarct healing. Suppression of inflammation by COX inhibitors can impair infarct healing after STEMI and lead to infarct thin­ning, adverse LV remodeling, aneurysm formation, and cardiac rupture,13 suggesting the need for caution.
The FDA issued a warning on the concomitant use of aspirin and the NSAID ibuprofen. Ibuprofen (but not rofecoxib, acet­aminophen, or diclofenac) interferes with aspirin-induced acetylation of COX-1 and attenuates its effects. The FDA also warned that COXIBs increase cardiovascular risk; rofecoxib (Vioxx) was withdrawn from the market, although celecoxib and valdecoxib remain. Based on evidence that patients taking NSAIDs within the week before MI have an increased risk of death, hypertension, reinfarction, heart failure, myocardial rupture, or shock, NSAIDs and COXIBs are contraindicated in patients with STEMI. It is recommended that they should not be initiated in the acute phase of MI and should be discontinued in any patients using them prior to hospitalization for acute MI. A stepped-care approach to use of these agents for patients with cardiovascular disease has been recommended.
163
Recommendations
Morphine remains recommended for the relief of continuing pain in STEMI patients.10 Nevertheless, given recent concerns raised about the possible hazard of morphine administration, initial efforts to relieve pain by relieving ischemia with nitrates and β-blockers are reasonable with morphine use restricted to select patients in whom the need appears to outweigh the risks. NSAIDs and COXIBs are contraindicated and should be avoided in patients with STEMI. The ACC/AHA guidelines regarding use of morphine and other analgesics are summarized in the Appendix.
CHOLESTEROL-LOWERING THERAPY
In the hospital phase of acute MI treatment, determination of a patient’s lipid profile and initiation of interventions to manage dyslipidemia and promote secondary prevention have been part of routine management, although recent guidelines suggest that all such patients should be treated without attention to lipid
levels or targets. Hydroxymethylglutaryl–coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors (statins) have been extensively investigated and are established as an important drug class for both lowering atherogenic lipids and reducing future adverse cardiovascular events.
Statins are competitive inhibitors of the rate-limiting step in cholesterol synthesis. All statins reduce low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol; some also increase high-density lipoprotein (HDL; e.g., simvastatin, rosuvastatin) and reduce triglycerides (e.g., atorvastatin, rosuvastatin). Aggressive lipid lowering has been shown to decrease atheroma burden and is beneficial in all patients with coronary artery disease. The Reversal of Atherosclerosis with Aggressive Lipid Lowering (REVERSAL) trial showed that aggres­sive lipid lowering prevented progression of atheroma in patients with known coronary artery disease.

The benefit of statin therapy for secondary prevention has been well established by 25 years of clinical investigation. Several trials have specifically studied the effect of statins on outcome in patients following ACS or acute MI. In the Cholesterol and Recurrent Events (CARE) trial,
168
4159 patients with total cholesterol levels less than 240 mg/dL were randomized to pravastatin 40 mg/day or placebo 3 to 20 months after acute MI. After a median follow-up of 5 years, the rate of fatal coronary events or nonfatal MI was reduced by 24%, the frequency of stroke by 31%, the rate of coronary bypass surgery by 26%, and the rate of coronary angioplasty by 23%.
In the Myocardial Ischemia Reduction with Aggressive
Cholesterol Lowering (MIRACL) trial,
170
3086 patients with unstable angina or non-Q-wave MI were randomly assigned to treatment with high-dose atorvastatin (80 mg/day) or placebo between 24 and 96 hours after admission. At 16-week follow-up, atorvastatin reduced LDL cholesterol by an average of 52%. The primary composite endpoint of death, nonfatal MI, cardiac arrest with resuscitation, or recurrent symptomatic myocardial ischemia was reduced 16% by atorvastatin.
The question of the benefit of early initiation of statins after acute MI was addressed in a prospective, nonrandomized cohort study using the Swedish Register of Cardiac Intensive Care (RIKS-HIA).
171
The study population consisted of nearly 20,000 patients with a first MI, of whom 5528 received statins at or before discharge and 14,071 did not. Early statin treatment started before hospital discharge was associated with a 25% reduction in 1-year mortality. Similarly, in an observational study
172
of patients with ACS from the GUSTO IIb and PURSUIT trials, the mortality rate at 6 months was 33% lower among the 3653 patients discharged on lipid-lowering agents compared with the 17,156 patients who were not.
The question of whether intensive (vs. moderate) lipid lowering
would have greater benefit for high-risk patients with ACS was
134 PART III Coronary Artery Disease
https://t.me/medicina_free
tested in the Pravastatin or Atorvastatin Evaluation and Infection Therapy–Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction 22 (PROVE IT-TIMI 22) trial.
169
In that study, 4162 patients were randomly assigned to 40 mg of pravastatin or 80 mg of atorvastatin within 10 days of hospitalization for an ACS. During the trial, the median cholesterol levels of the pravastatin and atorvastatin groups were 95 mg/dL and 62 mg/dL, respectively. By 2 years, there was a significant (16%) reduction in the composite of death from any cause, MI, unstable angina requiring rehospitalization, revascu­larization, and stroke among patients assigned to atorvastatin treatment. The study demonstrated that among patients with recent ACS, compared with standard treatment to moderate goals, intensive lipid-lowering treatment provides significantly greater protection against death and major cardiovascular events.
These data suggested that, after STEMI, patients should be started on high-intensity statins and continued after discharge to reduce short- and long-term adverse cardiovascular events. Starting therapy while the patient is in the hospital improves adherence with no noted adverse effects
173
and adherence improves
survival.2 The modified Adult Treatment Panel (ATP) III guidelines
174
in 2004
suggested that, for high-risk patients, the recommended LDL-C treatment goal is less than 100 mg/dL. However, a target of less than 70 mg/dL represents a reasonable therapeutic option for persons considered to be at very high risk, such as patients after AMI.
Of note, however, the most recent ACC/AHA guideline for
treatment of blood cholesterol
175
did not support titrating cholesterol-lowering drug therapy to achieve optimal LDL-C or non-HDL-C levels. Instead, they strongly recommended that all individuals 75 years of age or younger who have clinical athero­sclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), including all patients following acute MI, should be treated with high-intensity statin therapy unless contraindicated. High-intensity therapy was defined as treatment that lowers LDL-C by more than 50%; moderate­intensity statin therapy lowers LDL-C by 30% to 50%, and low-intensity statin therapy lowers LDL-C by less than 30%. High-intensity statins include atorvastatin at 80 mg daily and rosuvastatin at 20 mg daily. The guidelines also stated that for such patients, when high-intensity statin therapy is contraindi­cated or when characteristics predisposing to statin-associated adverse effects are present, moderate-intensity statins should be used as the second option, if tolerated.
There is recent evidence that lowering LDL cholesterol to levels below previous targets provides additional benefit. The Improved Reduction of Outcomes: Vytorin Efficacy International
176
Trial (IMPROVE-IT)
randomly assigned 18,144 patients who had been hospitalized for an ACS within the preceding 10 days to simvastatin at 40 mg or a combination of simvastatin (40 mg) and ezetimibe (10 mg; simvastatin–ezetimibe). Over a follow-up of 7 years, the average LDL cholesterol for the simvastatin monotherapy group was 69.5 mg/dL compared with 53.7 mg/ dL in the simvastatin–ezetimibe group. At 7 years, the addition of ezetimibe to simvastatin resulted in a significant reduction in the composite endpoint of cardiovascular death, MI, unstable angina requiring rehospitalization, coronary revascularization, or stroke with no increase in side effects. The investigators
concluded that, when added to statin therapy, ezetimibe resulted in incremental lowering of LDL cholesterol levels and improved cardiovascular outcomes.
The effect of more powerful lipid lowering by a new class of agents, the proprotein convertase subtilisin–kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors, has recently been investigated. Evolocumab is a monoclonal antibody PCSK9 inhibitor that has been shown to lower LDL cholesterol levels by approximately 60%. The effect of evolocumab on outcomes for patients with ASCVD was assessed in the Further Cardiovascular Outcomes Research With PCSK9 Inhibition in Subjects With Elevated Risk (FOURIER) trial,
177
in which 27,564 patients with ASCVD and LDL cholesterol levels of 70 mg/dL or higher who were receiving statin therapy were randomly assigned to receive evolocumab or placebo. At 48 weeks, the median LDL cholesterol level in the evolocumab group was 30 mg/dL and, in 42% of patients, evolocumab lowered LDL cholesterol to 25 mg/dL or lower. Over 2.2 years of follow-up, evolocumab treatment significantly reduced the risk of cardiovascular death, MI, stroke, hospitalization for unstable angina, or coronary revascularization without an increase in adverse events other than infrequent minor injec­tion site reactions. Currently, the PCSK9 inhibitors are costly, with restricted indications for use that state it can be prescribed as an adjunct to diet and maximally tolerated statin therapy for the treatment of select adults with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia or ASCVD who require additional lowering of LDL-C.
Recommendations
STEMI patients represent a high-risk ASCVD group in need of aggressive secondary prevention; high-intensity statin treatment (e.g., atorvastatin 80 mg daily or rosuvastatin 20 mg daily) is recommended for all patients without contraindications or a history of intolerance. Additional cholesterol-lowering interven­tions have been shown to be beneficial, as discussed earlier, and may be considered on an individual basis for select patients for whom statin therapy is not feasible or does not achieve the desired lowering of LDL. The ACC/AHA guidelines for lipid management in STEMI are summarized in the Appendix.
ANTICOAGULANTS
The use of anticoagulants in the acute and convalescent phases of STEMI has evolved with dramatic changes in management strategy. Current parenteral anticoagulants potentially useful during the acute phase of STEMI include unfractionated heparin (UFH), low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH), fondaparinux, and bivalirudin (Table 12.6). The selection of one of these agents for early management may vary based on reperfusion strategy, as discussed later, and assessment of the patient’s risk of bleeding. Oral anticoagulants include the vitamin K–dependent antagonist, warfarin, and the non-vitamin K–dependent oral anticoagulants (NOACs). The NOACs include dabigatran, which directly inhibits thrombin, and apixaban and rivaroxiban, which inhibit factor Xa. NOACs have not been adequately studied in the setting of STEMI.

Thrombin is a key protease of the coagulation system. Thrombin inhibitors (UFH and LMWH) prevent the formation of thrombin and inhibit the activity of already formed thrombin. UFH is a mixture of glycosaminoglycan chains that produces its anticoagulant effect by binding to antithrombin III, which inactivates factor IIa (thrombin), factor IXa, factor Ia, and factor Xa (see Fig. 12.1). UFH prevents growth of existing thrombus, but does not lyse clot. tion of factor Xa than thrombin, whereas UFH produces equal inhibition of factor Xa and thrombin. Fondaparinux is a synthetic heparin polysaccharide that binds to antithrombin with higher affinity than either UFH or LMWH and causes a conformational change that results in a preferential increase in the ability of the antithrombin–fondaparinux complex to inactivate factor Xa. Direct thrombin inhibitors, such as hirudin and bivalirudin, bind and inactivate thrombin without need for a cofactor, but have little effect on generation of thrombin. Bivalirudin is a synthetic analogue of hirudin that binds reversibly to thrombin and inhibits clot-bound thrombin.
In GUSTO-1, heparin and systemic alteplase and streptokinase were studied, an optimal activated partial thromboplastin time of between 60 and 70 seconds was associated with the lowest mortality, fewest bleeding complications, lowest reinfarction rate, and lowest

frequency of hemorrhagic shock. Intravenous heparin should be given cautiously or not at all when streptokinase is used, unless it is specifically indicated. Prolonged heparin is effective in preventing LV thrombus after acute MI.
179
One advantage of LMWH over UFH is that it does not require blood monitoring for titrating the dose to a therapeutic activated partial thromboplastin time. LMWH is renally cleared; thus it should be avoided in patients with renal failure. Side effects with both types of heparin include bleeding, thrombocytopenia, and osteoporosis. Patients at high risk for bleeding include women, patients over 65 years of age, and patients with comorbid states such as peptic ulcer, liver disease, and malignancy. Intravenous protamine can be used to reverse UFH but only partially reverses LMWH.
Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a well-known complication of UFH and LMWH therapy. Two types of HIT are recognized.
180
HIT type I occurs in the first 4 days with a platelet nadir of 100,000/mL, resolves even with continued therapy, and is not thought to be immune related. HIT type II occurs within 5 to 10 days in 1% to 3% of patients and is immune mediated. It should be suspected when the platelet count decreases more than 50%, if venous or arterial thrombosis develops, or if there is necrosis noted at heparin injection sites. LMWH is associated with lower rates of HIT than UFH, but should neverthe­less still be avoided in patients with HIT.
181
Monitoring of platelet counts is recommended for patients on heparin or LMWH. Patients exposed to heparin during the previous 3 months can develop early HIT type II mediated by circulating antibodies. Management of HIT type II includes immediate discontinuation of LMWH or UFH with careful attention to avoidance of routine heparin flushes and heparin­bonded catheters.
182
Patients who have a history of HIT type II should not be reexposed to either type of heparin because a recurrence can be expected 2 to 3 days after reexposure. STEMI patients with HIT or a history of HIT who require anticoagulation should be treated with a nonheparin anticoagulant, such as bivalirudin or argatroban.
Anticoagulant therapy in conjunction with thrombolytic therapy or primary PCI is addressed in detail elsewhere. For patients receiving fibrinolytic therapy, clinical trials support the use of unfractionated heparin, enoxaparin, and fondaparinux. For patients receiving primary PCI, evidence supports the adjunctive use of UFH and bivalirudin. Fondaparinux is not recommended in patients undergoing primary PCI owing to an increased risk of thrombotic procedural complications.
There have been no randomized controlled studies or new data to guide the management of STEMI patients who do not undergo reperfusion therapy. In ISIS-2, patients who were treated with aspirin and subcutaneous UFH did not show a survival advantage over those treated with intravenous heparin.
12
Although postlytic intravenous UFH increased bleeding in other trials, a statistically nonsignificant 18% decrease in mortality was also
183
found.
It is recommended that STEMI patients who require antico­agulation be given UFH as an intravenous infusion, with a bolus of 60 U/kg (maximum 4000 U) followed by infusion of 12 U/ kg/hour (maximum 1000 U/hour). Weight-based initial dosing
136 PART III Coronary Artery Disease
https://t.me/medicina_free
for intravenous heparin is preferred because of evidence that the effects of heparin are primarily mediated by weight.
184
A useful target is an activated partial thromboplastin time range of 50 to 70 seconds or 1.5 to 2 times control values based on data showing that values above this increase bleeding, stroke, and mortality, whereas lower values are associated with increased mortality. After thrombolytic therapy, anticoagulation can be continued for 48 hours or longer in patients at high risk for thromboembolism, such as those with anterior STEMI, severe LV dysfunction, CHF, history of systemic or pulmonary emboliza­tion, atrial fibrillation, or echocardiographic evidence of LV thrombus.
185
Anticoagulation is generally not continued after revascularization of the infarct-related artery by PCI unless there are specific indications (discussed later).
LMWH for the management of STEMI has also been studied. The Clinical Trial of Reviparin and Metabolic Modulation in Acute Myocardial Infarction Treatment Evaluation (CREATE)
186
randomly assigned 15,570 patients in India and China presenting with STEMI or new left bundle branch block, who had reperfusion therapy with either primary PCI or thrombolytic therapy, to LMWH (reviparin) or placebo. LMWH improved 30-day survival and reduced reinfarction regardless of whether the patient had primary PCI, lytic therapy, or no reperfusion therapy.
The effect of the factor Xa inhibitor fondaparinux (2.5 mg/ day) was studied in the Organization for the Assessment of Strategies for Ischemic Syndromes (OASIS-6) trial of 12,092 STEMI patients.
187
The patients were divided into two strata. The first stratum, consisting of 5658 patients with no indication for heparin, was assigned to fondaparinux 2.5 mg daily for up to 8 days, or placebo; the second stratum, consisting of 6434 patients with an indication for heparin (e.g., fibrin-specific thrombolytic, primary PCI or no reperfusion), was assigned to fondaparinux for up to 8 days or UFH for 48 hours. Fondaparinux reduced 30-day mortality or reinfarction from 11.2% to 9.7% compared to control with benefits apparent at 9 days and driven primarily by reductions in stratum 1. In stratum 2, patients who were not managed with primary PCI, fondaparinux was superior to UFH in preventing death or reinfarction at 30 days. The overall findings indicated that in STEMI patients who are not managed with primary PCI, fondaparinux reduces mortality and reinfarc­tion without increasing bleeding and strokes.
187
There are some theoretical advantages in using a direct thrombin inhibitor over heparin. After thrombolytic therapy, a procoagulant state is induced by thrombin bound to soluble fibrin derivatives. In contrast to direct thrombin inhibitors, a heparin–antithrombin III complex is unable to inactivate thrombin within a clot because it cannot penetrate the clot.
188
The direct thrombin inhibitor, bivalirudin, has been studied in patients undergoing thrombolytic therapy undergoing primary PCI.
190,191
189
and in patients
Oral Anticoagulation
Following acute MI, increased thrombin generation and increased activity of the coagulation system may persist for several months; this may account, at least in part, for a heightened risk of recurrent ischemic events. oral anticoagulant reduces the risk of recurrent events after MI
192
The question of whether chronic
for patients with no other indications for anticoagulation has been evaluated in clinical trials that have included warfarin and NOACs.
Warfarin inhibits the vitamin K-dependent synthesis of biologically active forms of the clotting factors II, VII, IX, and X, as well as the regulatory factors protein C, protein S, and protein Z. Dosing of warfarin is highly variable between patients and should be titrated by assessing the patient’s response through the international normalized ratio (INR). The antithrombotic properties of warfarin do not occur for 72 to 96 hours after initiation of treatment. Its major side effect is bleeding related to its anticoagulant effect, which may be reversed with vitamin K or fresh frozen plasma. Warfarin-induced skin necrosis is a rare condition in which skin and subcutaneous tissue necrosis occurs owing to acquired protein C deficiency following treatment with warfarin.
The use of oral anticoagulation with warfarin for secondary prevention following MI has been studied in several randomized clinical trials. These trials were conducted before the common use of early invasive management with PCI and among select patients at relatively low risk for bleeding. In general, these trials showed modest benefit for warfarin with respect to reduction of composite ischemic endpoints, but none showed a reduction in mortality and all reported a 20% to 35% rate of drug discon­tinuation and a higher rate of bleeding with warfarin therapy. Two meta-analyses comparing warfarin plus aspirin to aspirin alone suggested that when the INR was maintained at 2.0 to
3.0, warfarin plus aspirin was associated with a reduction in the risk of ischemic events but there was no significant difference in the overall risk of major ischemic events and there was a significant increase in major bleeding.
193,194
Notably, none of the trials included patients treated with primary PCI or DAPT, limiting the applicability of warfarin for this indication in current practice.
Therefore, following STEMI, it is recommended that warfarin use be restricted to patients with other indications for anticoagula­tion, such as atrial fibrillation, documented LV thrombus, or a large akinetic or dyskinetic LV segment. There have been no randomized controlled studies of warfarin for LV thrombus. A meta-analysis of observational studies showed that anticoagulated patients had an 86% reduction in embolization rate. most embolic events occur early, anticoagulation with warfarin for 3 months is recommended for STEMI patients with an LV thrombus.10 When warfarin is combined with aspirin, the dose of aspirin should be kept low (75 to 81 mg) and the INR should be maintained in the range of 2.0 to 3.0.
LV aneurysm is a common complication of STEMI if reperfu­sion has not been attempted or achieved. Approximately 50% of LV aneurysms have a thrombus.
195
Patients with an LV aneurysm and thrombus after recent MI are at high risk of emboli—13% over a 6- to 15-month follow-up period—and should be anticoagulated. Chronic LV aneurysms have a lower risk of embolization—0.35% over a 5-year follow-up period—as the thrombus becomes organized. Warfarin is not warranted in these patients unless other indications are present.
The effects of two NOACs, apixaban and rivaroxaban, have
also been studied in post-ACS populations with no other

indications for anticoagulation. Apixaban is an oral factor Xa inhibitor approved for the treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism, prevention of DVT in post­operative patients, and for the prevention of systemic embolic events in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. In the Apixaban for Prevention of Acute Ischemic Events 2 (APPRAISE-2)
196
trial,
7392 patients with an ACS within the previous 7 days receiving DAPT were randomly assigned to apixaban 5 mg twice daily or placebo. The trial was stopped early owing to an increase in the rate of major bleeding in the apixaban group, while the rate of ischemic events at that time point (241 days) appeared similar in the 2 groups.
Rivaroxaban is an oral factor Xa inhibitor that is approved for reducing the risk of systemic embolic events and stroke in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation as well as for the treatment of DVT and pulmonary embolism. It was studied in the setting of ACS in the Anti-Xa Therapy to Lower Cardiovascular Events in Addition to Standard Therapy in Subjects with Acute Coronary Syndrome–Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction 46 (ATLAS ACS–TIMI 46) trial,

which randomly assigned 15,526 patients within 7 days of hospitalization for ACS to twice-daily doses of either 2.5 mg (very low dose) or 5 mg (low dose) of rivaroxaban (one-quarter and one-half, respectively, of the full anticoagulation dose) or placebo. In this trial, approximately 50% of patients had STEMI, 25% had NSTEMI, 25% had unstable angina, 93% were also receiving DAPT, and patients with prior ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack were excluded. At 13 months, the composite of death from cardiovascular causes, MI, or stroke and the rate of stent thrombosis were reduced by 16% by rivaroxaban (pooled dose groups vs. placebo); a lower rate of cardiovascular death was observed among patients receiving the very low 2.5 mg dose. Rivaroxaban also increased the rate of major bleeding and intracranial hemorrhage, but not fatal bleeding. Among the 7817 patients with STEMI in the trial, rivaroxaban significantly reduced the risk of recurrent ischemic events by 19% but also significantly increased major bleeding.
198
Of note, rivaroxaban was approved in 2013 by the European Medicines Agency for the prevention of cardiovascular events in patients following an ACS. However, in the United States, an FDA advisory panel reviewed but voted against approval of an expanded indication for rivaroxaban to reduce the risk of secondary cardiovascular events in patients with ACS, citing incomplete safety data from the trial. Rivaroxaban is not recom­mended in current guidelines for treatment of patients following STEMI.
In some patients following STEMI or NSTE ACS, chronic oral anticoagulation may be indicated to lower the risk of thromboembolism or prosthetic valve dysfunction, such as those with atrial fibrillation, LV systolic dysfunction or thrombus, or prosthetic heart valves. Since such patients also have indications for DAPT, the use of chronic anticoagulation has raised chal­lenging issues regarding managing bleeding risk and determining optimal regimens.
Among patients following PCI with stent implantation, observational studies examining the use of warfarin combined with both aspirin and clopidogrel (“triple therapy”) have suggested
a significantly increased risk of major bleeding. For this reason, for patients undergoing primary PCI who require anticoagulation, avoidance of a drug-eluting stent has been recommended to limit the required duration of triple therapy. When triple therapy is used, an INR targeted to a range of 2.0 to 2.5 is recommended with low-dose aspirin (75–81 mg) and no more than 75 mg/day of clopidogrel. Patients who have had PCI with stenting and are prescribed triple therapy after an ACS and who are without recurrent events at 1 year may be considered to have stable disease and the P2Y12 antagonist can be discontinued. Prasugrel and ticagrelor are not recommended as part of triple therapy. Based on a strategy examined in the What Is the Optimal Antiplatelet & Anticoagulant Therapy in Patients With Oral Anticoagulation and Coronary Stenting (WOEST) study,
199
some have advocated that, when warfarin is indicated following MI in patients who have received a drug-eluting stent, discontinuation of the aspirin from triple therapy and continuation of warfarin plus clopidogrel may reduce bleeding complications yet maintain a low risk of thrombotic events such as stent thrombosis. It should be recog­nized that a small minority of the patients in the WOEST trial presented with ACS and the risk of stent thrombosis may therefore have been lower than in a post-STEMI population.
Novel strategies using combinations of rivaroxaban at low dose and DAPT or a P2Y12 antagonist alone were recently tested in the Open-Label, Randomized, Controlled, Multicenter Study Exploring Two Treatment Strategies of Rivaroxaban and a Dose­Adjusted Oral Vitamin K Antagonist Treatment Strategy in Subjects with Atrial Fibrillation who Undergo Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PIONEER AF-PCI) study
200
and were compared to standard triple therapy. Rivaroxaban-containing regimens had lower bleeding rates than standard triple therapy but the trial was small and no firm conclusions on efficacy or safety to guide practice were possible. Further study is needed to guide the use of anticoagulants, when indicated, in combination with antiplatelet therapy among patients following MI and PCI.
Recommendations
Patients with STEMI who undergo primary PCI should be anticoagulated with UFH or bivalirudin; the choice may be based on the considerations and preference of the interventional operator in the context of an assessment of bleeding risk and interacting medications. Anticoagulation should generally be discontinued following revascularization, although continuation of bivalirudin for a limited period after stent implantation may be considered for select patients to reduce the risk of stent thrombosis. Patients with STEMI receiving fibrinolytic therapy should receive anticoagulation using UFH, enoxaparin, or fondaparinux for at least 48 hours or until revascularization.
At present, following STEMI, warfarin is recommended for patients with indications for continued oral anticoagulation, although caution is warranted for patients following primary PCI with stent implantation receiving warfarin in combination with DAPT (triple therapy), for whom the bleeding risk may be very high. Attention to using low-dose aspirin, clopidogrel at 75 mg daily and maintaining the INR in the range of 2.0 to 2.5 is recommended to reduce the bleeding risk in such patients.

The ACC/AHA guidelines for anticoagulation in STEMI are summarized in the Appendix.
CONCLUSION
Adjunctive pharmacologic therapy is important for all STEMI patients whether they are treated with reperfusion therapy or not. This therapy can help minimize infarct size; reduce adverse
ventricular remodeling; and reduce reinfarction, recurrent angina, and mortality. These agents can be used to widen the time frame for reperfusion therapy and to minimize reperfusion injury and ventricular dysfunction. Agents of proven benefit include aspirin, P2Y12 antagonists, β-blockers, ACE inhibitors, ARBs, and aldosterone antagonists. Attention to early and comprehensive application of evidence-based therapies starting during the acute cardiac intensive care phase can significantly improve outcomes after MI.
