Remote ischemic conditioning during primary percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery 2019 January 22
OBJECTIVE: This systematic review was designed to evaluate the efficacy of remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) versus primary PCI alone for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
SEARCH STRATEGY: Computerized search for trials from PubMed, EMBASE, CENTRAL and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews databases.
SELECTION CRITERIA: Trials investigating RIC plus primary PCI (group A) versus primary PCI alone (group B).
OUTCOME MEASURES: Myocardial enzyme levels; left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF); major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs); TIMI flow grade III; myocardial salvage index or infarct size per patients.
RESULTS: In all, 14 studies involving 3165 subjects were included. There was a significant association of myocardial edema levels, myocardial salvage index and incidence of MACCEs in group A compared with group B (myocardial edema levels: SMD = - 0.36, 95% CI (- 0.59, - 0.13); myocardial salvage index: MD = 0.06, 95% CI (0.02, 0.10); MACCE: OR = 0.70, 95% CI (0.57, 0.85)). With regard to infarct size, TIMI flow grade III and LVEF, group A appeared to be equivalent with group B (infarct size: MD = - 1.67, 95% CI (- 3.46, 0.11); TIMI flow grade III: OR = 1.04, 95% CI (0.71, 1.52); LVEF: MD = 0.74, 95% CI (- 0.80, 2.28)).
CONCLUSION: RIC was associated with lower myocardial edema levels, myocardial salvage index and incidence of MACCE, while non-significant beneficial effect on infarct size, TIMI flow grade III or LVEF. These findings suggest that RIC is a promising adjunctive treatment to PCI for the prevention of reperfusion injury in STEMI patients.
