Brief Summary

Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is a gut microbiota-dependent metabolite of dietary choline, L-carnitine, and phosphatidylcholine-rich foods. On the basis of experimental studies and patients with prevalent disease, elevated plasma TMAO may increase risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). However, to our knowledge, no data is available on its impact on coronary microcirculation.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Index of microcirculatory resistance

    The index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) will be detected using PressureWire™ X Guidewire

    3 months

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Left ventricular ejection fraction

    3 months

  • major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE)

    up to 1 year

Interventions

In brief, a 6-F angioplasty guiding catheter without side-holes will be used first used to engage the left main coronary artery. A pressure-temperature sensor guidewire ( PressureWire™ X Guidewire) will be used for physiology measurements including IMR measurements. Pressure measurement from the wire was first equalized with that of the guiding catheter. Then the pressure sensor will be positioned two-thirds of the way down the LAD artery. Intracoronary nitroglycerin will be administered (100 to 200 μg). Hyperemia will be induced with adenosine intracoronary injections.

Study Population

This is a prospective, cohort study, conducted in the Hospital of the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences Kaunas Clinics.

You may qualify if:

  • Patient diagnosed with STEMI
  • Availability of non- left anterior descending artery (LAD) non culprit lesion, which is planned for a staged Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)

You may not qualify if:

  • patient undergoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation;
  • patients with a history of old myocardial infarction or history of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or Percutaneous coronary intervention PCI
  • Patients with signs of chronic infection, prolong usage of corticosteroids or compromised immune system
  • patients had thrombolysis before primary Percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI)
  • had contraindication of adenosine triphosphate (ATP);
  • had a history of liver or renal function dysfunction
  • Patients with dementia
  • Patients being referred to CABG after primary PCI
  • unable to provide informed consent;
  • had pregnancy or life span \< 1 year.
  • Presence of sever structural valvular heart disease
  • Presence of significant left main disease
  • Unability to measure the index of microcirculatory resistance due to (death or retraction from the study ...etc)
  • Inability to perform successful PCI
