The Assessment of Novel Functional Risk Factors for the Prediction of Cardiovascular Events in Vulnerable Patients Following Acute Coronary Syndrome

The purpose of this study is to determine if testing patients for endothelial dysfunction
will help identify which patients are more likely at risk to have another heart attack in
the future. Study participants will undergo mental stress testing while at the same time
being connected to a device that measures endothelial function via the Endopat device. These
same participants will also undergo a sleep study via the Watchpat device.


Inclusion Criteria:

1. Patients undergoing revascularization by percutaneous intervention (PCI) for Acute
Coronary Syndrome (ACS) at Mayo (STEMI and NonSTEMI patients)

2. Age greater than 18

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Patients likely not to complete the study due to co-morbid conditions (end stage
renal disease; liver failure; malignancies)

2. Inability to sign a consent form or availability for follow up

3. Patients unable to tolerate the blood pressure cuff inflation on both arms

4. patients with tremors

5. sustained non-sinus cardiac arrhythmias

6. acrylic finger nails

7. permanent pacemaker

8. color blindness

9. use of alpha blockers and short acting nitrates < 3 hours before study

10. Federal Medical Center inmates
