ELIXA Summary
• Demonstrates CV safety of lixisenatide (as defined by FDA
Guidance), but not superiority in reducing CV events
• Additional analyses indicate safety with respect to heart
failure events as well as death
• Neutral effects seen across wide spectrum of heart failure
risk
ELIXA: what does it mean ?
• CV safety of lixisenatide in post ACS patients appears
excellent
• No signal of increase in risk of HF
• Probably does not rule out a genuine CV benefit
– Diabetes is long standing
– Follow up is too short

Summary I
• In patients hospitalized for worsening chronic HFrEF with type 2
diabetes mellitus and/or CKD, the proportion of patients with a
relative decrease in NT-proBNP of more than 30% from baseline to
day 90 was similar in the eplerenone group and the finerenone
groups
• The incidence of the clinical composite endpoint (all-cause death,
cardiovascular hospitalization or emergency presentation for
worsening chronic heart failure) at day 90 was lower with all
finerenone doses (except 2.5–5 mg) than with eplerenone, with the
lowest incidence observed in the finerenone 10–20 mg dose group
Summary II
• All doses of finerenone were well tolerated, with a similar
incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events in the
eplerenone group and finerenone groups
• Hyperkalaemia (serum potassium ≥ 5.6 mmol/L) was observed
in 44 patients (4.3%) at any time post-baseline
• FINESSE-HF (3600 Pts. with reduced EF and Diabetes and/or CKD)
• FIGARO-DKD (6400 Pts. With diabetic kidney disease UACR <300mg/g)

Background
There is clinical need to rapidly and safely rule-in or rule-out acute myocardial
infarction (AMI) in patients with acute chest pain in order to
1. initiate fast evidence based treatment for patients with AMI
2. limit overuse of scarce medical resources in the emergency room (ER)
discharging patients without acute cardiac conditions.
Guidelines recommend1,2 measuring high sensitivity assayed troponins directly after
admission and after 3 hours detecting elevated levels based on the 99th percentile of
the specific assays together with an increase/decrease.
Recent studies (ADAPT (2-hour)3 and APACE (1- hour)4 cohort) challenge current
guidelines with intervals shorter than 3 hours.

Aim of the study
To investigate the application of
high sensitivity assayed troponin I (TnI) for
a) a rapid 1-hour rule-out and rule-in compared to a 3-hours
approach
b) a lower and more sensitive cut-off value compared to the 99th
percentile
in the Biomarkers in Acute Cardiovascular Care (BACC) cohort
investigating 1,045 patients with acute chest pain.

BACC Rule-In
PPV: positive predictive value; NSTEMI 1: non STEMI type 1
Suggested 1-hour algorithm NSTEMI rule-in:hsTnI after 1h > 6 ng/L and a delta of 12 ng/L to 0h
Resulted in 116 out 1,046 being identified as NSTEMI after 1 hour
A 1-hour algorithm is safe to rule-out AMI.
A sensitive troponin I cut-off (6 ng/L) performed better compared to
the 99th percentile (27 ng/L) in view of lower follow-up mortality.
Low troponin I values predict mortality in the general population.
Further studies are needed to test the best cut-off for each troponin
assay and to validate a 1-hour algorithm prospectively.
