Methods:80 patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction were divided into high iron group (serum iron≥8.95μmol/L) (n=43) and low iron group (serum iron<8.95μmol/L) (n=37) according to serum iron levels, differences in myocardial injury markers, ventricular remodeling indexes and pump failure-related indexes on admission were compared between two groups of patients, and the correlation of serum iron levels with myocardial damage and pump failure in patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction was further analyzed. Results:Serum myocardial injury markers troponin I (cTnI), creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB), myoglobin (Myo), ischemia modified albumin (IMA) and hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (HBDH) content of high iron group on admission were significantly lower than those of low iron group (P<0.05);left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LVPWT), left ventricular end-systolic interventricular septal thickness (IVST), left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV), left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), end-systolic volume index (ESVI), end-diastolic volume index (EDVI), and the left ventricular mass index (LVMI) levels under color Doppler ultrasound were lower than those of low iron group (P<0.05);serum N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), galectin-3, adiponectin (APN), soluble P-selectin (sP-selectin) and Copeptin content were lower than those of low iron group (P<0.05). Pearson test showed that serum iron level was directly correlated with the degree of myocardial injury and pump failure in patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Conclusions:Low serum iron levels is one of key factors causing severe cases and pump failure in STEMI patients, and early iron supplementation is expected to improve outcomes in STEMI patients with iron deficiency.展开更多

The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of a combination therapy for the prevention of no-reflow in patient with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) undergoing primary PCI. Methods A total of 621 patients with STEMI who underwent emergency primary PCI were enrolled in this study. Patients with high risk of no-reflow (no-flow score 〉 10, by using a no-flow risk prediction model, n = 216) were randomly divided into a controlled group (n = 108) and a combination therapy group (n = 108). Patients in the controlled group received conventional treatment, while patients in combination therapy group received high-dose (80 mg) atorvastatin pre-treatment, intracoronary administration of adenosine (140 ~tg/min per kilogram) during PCI procedure, platelet membrane glycoprotein lib/Ilia receptor antagonist (tirofiban, 101.tg/kg bolus followed by 0.15 ~tg/kg per minute) and thrombus aspiration. Myocardial contrast echocardiography was performed to assess the myocardial perfusion 72 h after PCI. Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) were followed up for six months. Results Incidence of no-reflow in combination therapy group was 2.8%, which was similar to that in low risk group 2.7% and was significantly lower than that in control group (35.2%, P 〈 0.01). The myocardial perfusion (A= 13) values were higher in combination therapy group than that in control group 72 h after PCI. After 6 months, there were six (6.3%) MACE events (one death, two non-fatal MIs and three revasculafizations) in combination therapy group and 12 (13.2%) (four deaths, three non-fatal MIs and five revascularizations, P 〈 0.05) in control group. Conclusions Combination of thrombus aspiration, high-dose statin pre-treatment, intmcoronary administration of adenosine during PCI procedure and platelet membrane glycoprotein Ⅱ b/Ⅲa receptor antagonist reduces the incidence of no-reflow after primary PCI in patients with acute myocardial infarction who are at high risk of no-reflow.展开更多

Percutaneous...Both ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (ACS) are the result of an acute thrombotic lesion obstructing blood flow in the coronary vasculature. Percutaneous treatment has shown to improve clinical outcome in this clinical setting by resolving coronary obstruction with different devices directed to restore coronary blood flow. In comparison with balloon alone angioplasty, implantation of bare metal stents reduced the rate of restenosis and cardiac events, but high rates of restenosis remained, leading to further investigations to develop drug-eluting stents with different pharma- cological coatings that reduced restenosis rates and clinical events. In this review, we discuss the current treatment of ACS, reviewing recent randomized clinical trials and advances in medical treatment, including new antiplatelet agents and recent guideline recommendations.展开更多

文摘Identifying patients with high risk of death after myocardial infarction is a cornerstone of modern cardiovascular health care.The purpose of this study was to explore the predictive ability of N-terminal probrain natriuretic peptide(NT-pro-BNP)concentration and global acute coronary event register(GRACE)risk score in the prognosis of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI)patients,to find a better method for early risk stratification and prognosis judgment in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of STEMI patients,and to provide reliable clinical basis for making the best individualized treatment strategies for patients.Methods The final analysis included 118 confirmed STEMI patients who had received acute percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).Thirty patients with STEMI were included in the major cardiac adverse events(MACEs)group,and the rest were included in the non-MACEs group.Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to assess the relationship between the risk factors and MACEs.The receiver operator curves(ROC)were used to determine the area under the statistical curve(AUC).The linear correlation analysis confirmed the relationship between NT-proBNP concentration and GRACE score.Results After adjustment for sex,history of current smoking,hypertension,diabetes mellitus,cerebral artery disease and coronary artery vessel lesion(single-vessel lesion,2-vessel lesion,3-vessel lesion),onset time and medication,the multivariate Cox’s regression analysis showed that NT-proBNP concentration and GRACE score were the independent predictors for MACEs in STEMI patients who received PCI.Linear regression analysis showed that the level of NT-pro-BNP was positively correlated with GRACE score(r=0.612,P=0.000).The area under the curve(AUC)for GRACE,NT-pro-BNP and their combination were 0.757,0.723 and 0.782,respectively.Conclusions In a one-year follow-up,the concentration of NTpro-BNP and GRACE score were valuable of prediction for MACEs in STEMI patients who received PCI.In addition,NT-pro-BNP concentration was positively correlated with GRACE score.Additionally,the concentration of NT-pro-BNP could moderately enhance the GRACE score prediction of 1-year MACEs in STEMI patients who received PCI.
文摘Background:The Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) score is recommended by current ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) guidelines.But it has inherent defects.The present study aimed to investigate the more compatible risk stratification for Chinese patients with STEMI and to determine whether the addition of biomarkers to the Korea Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry (KAMIR) score could enhance its predictive value for long-term outcomes.Methods:A total of 1093 consecutive STEMI patients were included and followed up 48.2 months.Homocysteine,hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP),and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) were detected.The KAMIR score and the GRACE score were calculated.The performance between the KAMIR and the GRACE was compared.The predictive power of the KAMIR alone and combined with biomarkers were assessed by the receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:The KAMIR demonstrated a better risk stratification and predictive ability than the GRACE (death:AUC = 0.802 vs.0.721,P<0.001;major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE):AUC = 0.683 vs.0.656,P<0.001).It showed that the biomarkers could independently predict death [homocysteine:HR= 1.019 (1.015–1.024),P<0.001;hs-CRP:HR= 1.052 (1.000–1.104),P= 0.018;NT-pro BNP:HR= 1.142 (1.004–1.280),P= 0.021] and MACE [homocysteine:HR= 1.019 (1.015–1.024),P<0.001;hs-CRP:HR= 1.012 (1.003–1.021),P= 0.020;NT-pro BNP:HR= 1.136 (1.104–1.168),P= 0.006].When they were used in combination with the KAMIR,the area under the ROC curve (AUC) significantly increased for death [homocysteine:AUC = 0.802 vs.0.890,Z = 5.982,P<0.001;hs-CRP:AUC = 0.802 vs.0.873,Z= 3.721,P<0.001;NT-pro BNP:AUC= 0.802 vs.0.871,Z = 2.187,P= 0.047;homocysteine,hs-CRP and NT-pro BNP:AUC = 0.802 vs.0.940,Z = 6.177,P<0.001] and MACE [homocysteine:AUC = 0.683 vs.0.771,Z= 6.818,P<0.001;hs-CRP:AUC= 0.683 vs.0.712,Z= 2.022,P= 0.031;NT-pro BNP:AUC= 0.683 vs.0.720,Z= 2.974,P= 0.003;homocysteine,hs-CRP and NT-pro BNP:AUC= 0.683 vs.0.789,Z= 6.900,P<0.001].Conclusion:The KAMIR is better than the GRACE in risk stratification and prognosis prediction in Chinese STEMI patients.A combination of above-mentioned biomarkers can develop a more predominant prediction for long-term outcomes.
文摘Both ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (ACS) are the result of an acute thrombotic lesion obstructing blood flow in the coronary vasculature. Percutaneous treatment has shown to improve clinical outcome in this clinical setting by resolving coronary obstruction with different devices directed to restore coronary blood flow. In comparison with balloon alone angioplasty, implantation of bare metal stents reduced the rate of restenosis and cardiac events, but high rates of restenosis remained, leading to further investigations to develop drug-eluting stents with different pharma- cological coatings that reduced restenosis rates and clinical events. In this review, we discuss the current treatment of ACS, reviewing recent randomized clinical trials and advances in medical treatment, including new antiplatelet agents and recent guideline recommendations.
文摘Objective To investigate the effects of different doses of atorvastatin on plasma endothelin and platelet function in acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI)patients after emergency percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).Methods A total of 120 patients with acute STEMI treated with emergency PCI were enrolled and randomly divided into 20 mg of atorvastatin treatment group(standard group,n=60),and 40 mg of atorvastatin treatment group(intensive group,n=60).
