Decreased Appendicular Skeletal Muscle Mass is Associated with Poor Outcomes after ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction.

Abstract：

AIM:The importance of sarcopenia in cardiovascular diseases has been recently demonstrated. This study aims to examine whether skeletal muscle mass (SMM), an important component of sarcopenia, is associated with an increased risk of poor outcome in patients after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). METHODS:We measured SMM in 387 patients with STEMI using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Patients were divided into low- and high-appendicular skeletal mass index (ASMI: appendicular SMM divided by height squared (kg/m2)) groups using the first quartile of ASMI (≤ 6.64 kg/m2 for men and ≤ 5.06 kg/m2 for women). All patients were followed up for the primary composite outcome of all-cause death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal ischemic stroke, hospitalization for congestive heart failure, and unplanned revascularization. RESULTS:Low-ASMI group was older and had a more complex coronary lesion, a lower left ventricular ejection fraction, and a higher prevalence of Killip classification ≥ 2 than high-ASMI group. During a median follow-up of 33 months, the event rate was significantly higher in low-ASMI group than in high-ASMI group (24.7% vs 13.4%, log-rank p=0.001). Even after adjustment for patients' background, low ASMI was independently associated with the high risk of primary composite events (adjusted hazard ratio 2.06, 95% confidence interval 1.01- 4.19, p=0.04). In the subgroup analyses of male patients (n=315), the optimal cutoff point of ASMI for predicting primary composite outcome was 6.75 kg/m2, which was close to its first quartile value. CONCLUSIONS:Low ASMI is independently associated with poor outcome in patients with STEMI.
