Abstract

A substantial proportion of the patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) have none of the of standard modifiable cardiovascular risk factors (SMuRFs): hypertension, diabetes, hypercholesterolaemia and smoking. The aim of this analysis was to compare clinical outcomes after PCI according to the number of SMuRFs. Patients with an indication for a PCI were stratified based upon the number of SMuRFs: 0, 1, 2 or 3-4. The primary outcome was target lesion failure (TLF), a composite of cardiac death, target vessel-related myocardial infarction or clinically driven target lesion revascularization at 1-year. Inverse weighted propensity score (IWPS) adjustment was performed to adjust for differences in baseline characteristics. The prevalence of SMuRFs was: 0 SMuRF 16.4 %; 1 SMuRF 27.8 %; 2 SMuRFs 34.7 % and 3-4 SMuRFs 21.1 %. Patients without SMuRFs were younger, more likely to be male and had less complex coronary artery disease. The incidence of TLF increased with the number of SMuRFs: 2.65 %, 2.75 %, 3.23 %, and 4.24 %, P  < 0.001. The relative risk (RR) for a TLF was 60 % higher (95 % confidence interval 1.32-1.93, p < 0.01) for patients with 3-4 SMuRFs compared to patients without SMuRFs. The trend remained (P  < 0.01) after IWPS with TLF rates of 2.88 %, 2.64 %, 2.88 % and 3.65 %. The RR for a TLF was 27 % higher (95 % CI 1.05-1.53, p < 0.01). The incidence of clinical events at 1-year increased with the number of SMuRFs. While patients without SMuRFs have a relatively favourable risk profile, more research is needed to optimize therapeutic management in the majority of patients.
