BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The effects of protein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors on endothelial function as assessed by flow-mediated dilation (FMD) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are unknown. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the effects of the PCSK9 inhibitor alirocumab added to high-intensity statin on FMD, and its association with coronary atherosclerosis in non-infarct related arteries using intracoronary intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), and optical coherence tomography (OCT).
METHODS: This was a pre-specified substudy among patients recruited at Bern University Hospital, Switzerland, for the randomized-controlled, double-blind, PACMAN-AMI trial, which compared the effects of biweekly alirocumab 150 mg vs. placebo added to rosuvastatin. Brachial artery FMD was measured at 4 and 52 weeks, and intracoronary imaging at baseline and 52 weeks.
RESULTS: 139/173 patients completed the substudy. There was no difference in FMD at 52 weeks in the alirocumab (n = 68, 5.44 ± 2.24%) versus placebo (n = 71, 5.45 ± 2.19%) group (difference = -0.21%, 95% CI -0.77 to 0.35, p = 0.47). FMD improved throughout 52 weeks in both groups similarly (p < 0.001). There was a significant association between 4 weeks FMD and baseline plaque burden (IVUS) (n = 139, slope = -1.00, p = 0.006), but not with lipid pool (NIRS) (n = 139, slope = -7.36, p = 0.32), or fibrous cap thickness (OCT) (n = 81, slope = -1.57, p = 0.62).
CONCLUSIONS: Among patients with AMI, the addition of alirocumab did not result in further improvement of FMD as compared to 52 weeks secondary preventative medical therapy including high-intensity statin therapy. FMD was significantly associated with coronary plaque burden at baseline, but not with lipid pool or fibrous cap thickness.
