ABSTRACT Introduction and objectives: The optimal time to perform a diagnostic coronary angiography in patients admitted due to non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTEACS) and start ...pretreatment with dual antiplatelet therapy is controversial. Our study aims to identify the current diagnostic and therapeutic approach, and clinical progression of patients with NSTEACS in our country. Methods: The IMPACT-TIMING-GO trial (Impact of time of intervention in patients with myocardial infarction with non-ST segment elevation. Management and outcomes) is a national, observational, prospective, and multicenter registry that will include consecutive patients from 24 Spanish centers with a clinical diagnosis of NSTEACS treated with diagnostic coronary angiography and with present unstable or causal atherosclerotic coronary artery disease. The study primary endpoint is to assess the level of compliance to clinical practice guidelines in patients admitted due to NSTEACS undergoing coronary angiography in Spain, describe the use of antithrombotic treatment prior to cardiac catheterization, and register the time elapsed until it is performed. Major adverse cardiovascular events will also be described like all-cause mortality, non-fatal myocardial infarction and non-fatal stroke, and the rate of major bleeding according to the BARC (Bleeding Academic Research Consortium) scale at 1- and 3-year follow-up. Results: This study will provide more information on the impact of different early management strategies in patients admitted with NSTEACS in Spain, and the degree of implementation of current recommendations into the routine clinical practice. It will also provide information on these patients' baseline and clinical characteristics. Conclusions: This is the first prospective study conducted in Spain that will be reporting on the early therapeutic strategies-both pharmacological and interventional-implemented in our country in patients with NSTEACS after the publication of the 2020 European guidelines, and on the clinical short- and long-term outcomes of these patients.

Se presentan dos casos de masas adheridas al septo interauricular en las que la sospecha diagnóstica inicial fue la de mixoma auricular. Sin embargo, a pesar de características iniciales que nos ...pueden llevar a confusión, la imagen multimodalidad permite realizar el diagnóstico diferencial y llegar al diagnóstico correcto de forma no invasiva.
El momento óptimo para un cateterismo en el síndrome coronario agudo sin elevación del segmento ST (SCASEST) y la necesidad de pretratamiento son motivo de controversia. El objetivo principal del ...registro IMPACT-TIMING-GO es conocer el porcentaje de pacientes examinados con una coronariografía precoz (0-24 h) y que no recibieron doble antiagregación plaquetaria antes del cateterismo (estrategia sin pretratamiento) en España.
Estudio observacional, prospectivo y multicéntrico, que incluyó a pacientes consecutivos con diagnóstico de SCASEST sometidos a cateterismo en los que se evidenció enfermedad coronaria ateroesclerótica causal.
Entre abril y mayo de 2022 se incluyó a 1.021 pacientes (media de edad, 67±12 años; el 23,6% mujeres). El 86,8% de los pacientes cumplían criterios de alto riesgo (elevación de troponina, cambios electrocardiográficos o puntuación GRACE>140); sin embargo, únicamente el 37,8% se sometió a una estrategia invasiva precoz, y el 30,3% no recibió pretratamiento. Globalmente, solo el 13,6% de los pacientes se sometieron a una estrategia invasiva precoz sin un segundo antiagregante plaquetario, y la estrategia diferida con pretratamiento fue la más utilizada (46%). Durante el ingreso, 9 pacientes (0,9%) fallecieron y 34 (3,3%) presentaron una hemorragia grave.
En España, solo el 13,6% de los pacientes con SCASEST sometidos a cateterismo reciben una estrategia invasiva precoz sin pretratamiento. La incidencia de eventos cardiovasculares y hemorragias graves en el ingreso es baja.
The optimal timing of coronary angiography in patients admitted with non–ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTEACS) as well as the need for pretreatment are controversial. The main objective of the IMPACT-TIMING-GO registry was to assess the proportion of patients undergoing an early invasive strategy (0-24hours) without dual antiplatelet therapy (no pretreatment strategy) in Spain.
This observational, prospective, and multicenter study included consecutive patients with NSTEACS who underwent coronary angiography that identified a culprit lesion.
Between April and May 2022, we included 1021 patients diagnosed with NSTEACS, with a mean age of 67±12 years (23.6% women). A total of 87% of the patients were deemed at high risk (elevated troponin; electrocardiogram changes; GRACE score>140) but only 37.8% underwent an early invasive strategy, and 30.3% did not receive pretreatment. Overall, 13.6% of the patients underwent an early invasive strategy without pretreatment, while the most frequent strategy was a deferred angiography under antiplatelet pretreatment (46%). During admission, 9 patients (0.9%) died, while major bleeding occurred in 34 (3.3%).
In Spain, only 13.6% of patients with NSTEACS undergoing coronary angiography received an early invasive strategy without pretreatment. The incidence of cardiovascular and severe bleeding events during admission was low.
The aim of this study was to ascertain the association between the consumption of different categories of edible olive oils (virgin olive oils and olive oil) and olive pomace oil and ankle-brachial ...pressure index (ABI) in participants in the PREDIMED-Plus study, a trial of lifestyle modification for weight and cardiovascular event reduction in individuals with overweight/obesity harboring the metabolic syndrome.
We performed a cross-sectional analysis of the PREDIMED-Plus trial. Consumption of any category of olive oil and olive pomace oil was assessed through a validated food-frequency questionnaire. Multivariable linear regression models were fitted to assess associations between olive oil consumption and ABI. Additionally, ABI ≤1 was considered as the outcome in logistic models with different categories of olive oil and olive pomace oil as exposure.
Among 4330 participants, the highest quintile of total olive oil consumption (sum of all categories of olive oil and olive pomace oil) was associated with higher mean values of ABI (beta coefficient: 0.014, 95% confidence interval CI: 0.002, 0.027) (p for trend = 0.010). Logistic models comparing the consumption of different categories of olive oils, olive pomace oil and ABI ≤1 values revealed an inverse association between virgin olive oils consumption and the likelihood of a low ABI (odds ratio OR 0.73, 95% CI 0.56, 0.97), while consumption of olive pomace oil was positively associated with a low ABI (OR 1.22 95% CI 1.00, 1.48).
In a Mediterranean population at high cardiovascular risk, total olive oil consumption was associated with a higher mean ABI. These results suggest that olive oil consumption may be beneficial for peripheral artery disease prevention, but longitudinal studies are needed.
Display omitted
•Total olive oil consumption is associated with a high ankle-brachial pressure index (ABI) disease.•Virgin olive oils consumption is inversely associated with having ABI≤1.•Olive pomace oil consumption is positively associated with having ABI≤1.
The prevalence of hyperuricemia has increased substantially in recent decades. It has been suggested that it is an independent risk factor for weight gain, hypertension, hypertriglyceridemia, ...metabolic syndrome (MetS), and cardiovascular disease. Results from epidemiological studies conducted in different study populations have suggested that high consumption of dairy products is associated with a lower risk of developing hyperuricemia. However, this association is still unclear. The aim of the present study is to explore the association of the consumption of total dairy products and their subtypes with the risk of hyperuricemia in an elderly Mediterranean population with MetS.
Baseline cross-sectional analyses were conducted on 6329 men/women (mean age 65 years) with overweight/obesity and MetS from the PREDIMED-Plus cohort. Dairy consumption was assessed using a food frequency questionnaire. Multivariable-adjusted Cox regressions were fitted to analyze the association of quartiles of consumption of total dairy products and their subtypes with the prevalence of hyperuricemia. Participants in the upper quartile of the consumption of total dairy products (multiadjusted prevalence ratio (PR) = 0.84; 95% CI: 0.75–0.94; P-trend 0.02), low-fat dairy products (PR = 0.79; 95% CI: 0.70–0.89; P-trend <0.001), total milk (PR = 0.81; 95% CI: 0.73–0.90; P-trend<0.001), low-fat milk (PR = 0.80; 95% CI: 0.72–0.89; P-trend<0.001, respectively), low-fat yogurt (PR = 0.89; 95% CI: 0.80–0.98; P-trend 0.051), and cheese (PR = 0.86; 95% CI: 0.77–0.96; P-trend 0.003) presented a lower prevalence of hyperuricemia. Whole-fat dairy, fermented dairy, and yogurt consumption were not associated with hyperuricemia.
High consumption of total dairy products, total milk, low-fat dairy products, low-fat milk, low-fat yogurt, and cheese is associated with a lower risk of hyperuricemia.
•Total dairy product consumption is associated with a lower prevalence risk of hyperuricemia.•Milk, low-fat yogurt, and cheese consumption is associated with a lower prevalence risk of hyperuricemia.•Consumption of whole-fat dairy products and the different subtypes is not associated with hyperuricemia.
The main objective of this study was to examine the relationship between the level of physical activity (PA) and the degree of obesity with health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in individuals with ...metabolic syndrome (MetS) who participated in the Predimed-Plus study. A total of 6875 subjects between 55 and 75 years of age with MetS were selected and randomized in 23 Spanish centers. Subjects were classified according to categories of body mass index (BMI). PA was measured with the validated Registre Gironí del Cor (REGICOR) questionnaire and subjects were classified according to their PA level (light, moderate, vigorous) and the HRQoL was measured with the validated short-form 36 (SF-36) questionnaire. By using the ANOVA model, we found a positive and statistically significant association between the level of PA and the HRQoL (aggregated physical and mental dimensions
< 0.001), but a negative association with higher BMI in aggregated physical dimensions
< 0.001. Furthermore, women obtained lower scores compared with men, more five points in all fields of SF-36. Therefore, it is essential to promote PA and body weight control from primary care consultations to improve HRQoL, paying special attention to the differences that sex incurs.

El índice tobillo-brazo (ITB) es un indicador de enfermedad arterial periférica (EAP). El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar la asociación entre la EAP medida con el ITB y el rendimiento cognitivo ...de individuos con sobrepeso u obesidad y síndrome metabólico.
Estudio transversal realizado con los datos basales del estudio PREDIMED-Plus, en el que se incluyó a un total de 4.898 participantes (tras excluir a aquellos sin medición de ITB) de entre 55 y 75 años, con sobrepeso u obesidad y síndrome metabólico. En la visita basal se midió el ITB según un protocolo estandarizado, así como otros factores de riesgo cardiovascular (diabetes mellitus, dislipemia e hipertensión arterial, entre otros). Para la evaluación del rendimiento cognitivo, se aplicaron diferentes pruebas validadas en población española (Mini-mental Test, test de fluencia verbal semántica y fonológica, test de valoración de memoria de trabajo, test del trazo y test del reloj). Para evaluar la asociación entre el ITB y el rendimiento cognitivo, se utilizaron modelos lineales generalizados.
El 3,4% de los participantes tenían EAP, definida por un ITB ≤ 0,9, y un 3,3%, calcificación arterial definida por un ITB ≥ 1,4. La EAP se asoció con la edad, la presión arterial sistólica y los indicadores de obesidad, mientras que la calcificación arterial se asoció también con obesidad y diabetes. Entre el rendimiento cognitivo y el ITB o la EAP, no se observaron asociaciones significativas.
En nuestra muestra la EAP aumenta con la edad, la presión arterial y los indicadores de obesidad. No se observa una asociación significativa entre el ITB, la EAP y el rendimiento cognitivo.
The ankle-brachial index (ABI) is an indicator of peripheral artery disease (PAD). The aim of this study was to assess the association between PAD, measured with the ABI, and cognitive function in persons with overweight or obesity and metabolic syndrome.
Cross-sectional study conducted with baseline data from the PREDIMED-Plus study, which included 4898 participants (after exclusion of those without ABI measurements) aged between 55 and 75 years, and with overweight or obesity and metabolic syndrome. At the baseline assessment, we measured the ABI with a standardized protocol and assessed the presence of other cardiovascular risk factors (eg, diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension). Cognitive function was evaluated using several tests validated for the Spanish population (mini-mental state examination MMSE, phonological and semantic verbal fluency test, WAIS-III working memory index WMI, parts A and B of the trail making test (TMT), and clock drawing test). Generalized linear models were used to assess the association between the ABI and cognitive function.
Among the participants, 3.4% had PAD defined as ABI ≤ 0.9, and 3.3% had arterial calcification defined as ABI ≥ 1.4. PAD was associated with age, systolic blood pressure and obesity indicators, while arterial calcification was also associated with obesity and diabetes. No significant associations were observed between cognitive function and ABI or PAD.
In our sample, the presence of PAD increased with age, blood pressure, and obesity. No significant association was observed between ABI, PAD, or cognitive function.
