• The incremental predictive value of high inflammatory status and high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HPR) on the occurrence of periprocedural myocardial infarction (PMI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has not been characterized. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation of elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) level and/or HPR with the incidence of PMI in patients who undergo PCI. Five hundred consecutive patients treated with clopidogrel who underwent PCI had preprocedural measurement of CRP levels and platelet reactivity using the point-of-care VerifyNow P2Y12 assay. Elevated inflammatory status was defined as CRP >3 mg/L and HPR as P2Y12 reactivity units ≥240. The primary end point was the incidence of PMI in relation to platelet reactivity and/or inflammatory status. Rates of PMI were increased in patients with CRP levels >3 mg/L (10.9% vs 4.6% in those with normal levels, odds ratio 2.4, 95% confidence interval 1.2 to 4.5, p = 0.015) and in patients with HPR (11% vs 5.5% in those without HPR, odds ratio 2.2, 95% confidence interval 1.2-4.4, p = 0.018). The occurrence of PMI was highest in the subgroup with HPR and high inflammatory status (16.6% vs 3.6% in patients with CRP ≤3 mg/L and P2Y12 reactivity units <240, odds ratio 4.3, 95% confidence interval 1.5 to 12.6, p = 0.008). HPR in association with elevated CRP levels resulted in a significant increase in the discriminatory power of a model including clinical and procedural variables in predicting PMI (area under the curve 0.811, p = 0.041). In conclusion, in patients who undergo PCI, baseline stratification according to platelet reactivity and inflammatory status may identify those at higher risk for PMI.
