Methods Type II diabetes mellitus was defined by ADA 1997/WHO 1998 criteria. The subjects were divided into treatment groups that included 39 patients of ACS with 20 cases of acute myocardiac infarction (AMI), 36 patients of ACS + NIDOM with 20 cases of AMI. Twenty cases of healthy people were randomized to control group. The plasma level of tissue type plas-minogen activator (t - PA), plasminogen activator inhibitor type - 1 (PAI - 1) and plasma D - dimer were detected by using elisa technique. The index of statue in fibrinolysis was detected with the plasma level of D -dimer and the rate of PAI - 1/D - dimer in percentage. This index was used to evaluate the fibrinolytic inhibition and the clinical outcome in all the patients with AMI in treatment groups. The clinical outcome in patients with AMI consisted of the rate of reperfusion, the incidences of re - infarction, severi-ous arrhythmia, pump failure and death in the early period of AMI. Results The plasma level of PAI - 1 and D - dimer was higher in the two treatment groups than that in the control group ( P < 0. 01). The plasma level of PAI - 1 significantly higher in ACS + NIDDM patients than that in ACS ( P < 0. 05), but the plasma level of D - dimer raised from basic level was significantly lower in ACS + NIDDM than that in ACS ( P < 0. 05) . The rate of PAI - 1 /D - dimer in percentage was significantly higher in ACS + NIDDM than that in ACS or in control group ( P < 0. 01). For AMI patients in two treatment groups, the rate of reperfusion after the thrombolytic therapy was significantly lower in ACS + NIDDM than that in ACS( P < 0. 01) . The rate of incidences in pump failure was significantly higher in ACS + NIDDM than that in ACS too ( P < 0. 05). The morbidity of severious arrhythmia, re - infarction and the mortality were also higher in ACS + NIDDM; however the difference was not significant (P<0. 05) . Conclusions The plasma level of D - dimer combined with the rate of PAI - 1 /D - dimer in percentage could be used to be the evidence and the index to evaluate the status of fibrinolytic inhibition in patients of ACS + NIDDM, and could be used to evaluate the effect of the fibrinolytic inhibition to the outcome of treatment and clinical prognosis in ACS patient.展开更多

We sought to establish for the first time in Saudi Arabia an intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) profile of DM patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Patients and methods: We retrospectively analyzed 210 IVUS studies in 181 patients hospitalized in King Salman Heart Centre for ACS. IVUS was performed to guide percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) of borderline moderate lesions. Results: Mean age was 58 ± 10 years, 78% (n = 163) of IVUS studies were performed in men. There were 71% (n = 128) patients with DM. ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) was the most common clinical presentation (47%, n = 88 patients). As compared to non-DM, the intermediate lesions of DM patients had a significantly larger IVUS plaque volume (267 ± 174 mm3 versus 193 ± 111 mm3, p Conclusion: IVUS demonstrates longer lesions to be treated in DM patients with ACS in Saudi Arabia, however no difference in average plaque burden or remodelling index. These findings are likely to impact our understanding of optimal PCI strategies in DM patients.展开更多

However, there is little knowledge concerning the pervasiveness of uncommon presentations in diabetics. The symptomatology of acute coronary syndrome, which comprises both pain and non-pain symptoms, may be affected by traditional risk factors such as age, gender, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. Such atypical symptoms may range from silent myocardial ischemia to a wide spectrum of non-chest pain symptoms. Worldwide, few studies have highlighted this under-investigated subject, and this aspect of ischemic heart disease has also been under-evaluated in the major clinical trials. The results of these studies are highly diverse which makes definitive conclusions regarding the spectrum of atypical presentation of acute and even stable chronic coronay artery disease difficult to confirm. This may have a significant impact on the morbidity and mortality of coronary artery disease in diabetics. In this up-to-date review we will try to analyze the most recent studies on the atypical presentations in both acute and chronic ischemic heart disease which may give some emphasis to this under-investigated topic.展开更多

HbAlc is the important parameter reflect- ing control status of blood sugar, however, it is unclear about the value of in-hospital HbAlc in patients with a- cute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for 236 in-hospital diabetic patients with ACS. Patients were stratified into two groups according to HbAlc level when admission (Well con- trolled group (HbAlc ~〈7.0%) and High HbAlc group (HbAlc 〉 7.0%); major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) group and Non-MACE group). In-hospital MACE and mortality were set as the observation target. Results 282 patients (112 in Well controlled group and 170 in High HbAlc group) were enrolled, of which 146 (51.77%), 63 (23.34%), and 73 (25.89%) patients respectively had unstable angina (UA), non-ST-seg- ment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEM[), and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). In- hospital all-cause mortality and in-hospital MACE were both similar in Well controlled group and High HbAlc group (6.25% vs. 7.06% and 15.18% vs. 16.47%, P 〉 0.05). In MACEs, cardiac death (4.46% vs. 5.29%), recurrent myocardial infarction (2.68% vs. 2.94%), hemorrhage events (5.35% vs. 5.29%), malignant arrhyth- mia (6.25% vs. 5.29%), cardiac shock (4.46% vs. 4.12%), acute heart failure (8.93% vs. 10.0%), revascu- larization (4.46% vs. 5.29%) were also all similar in both two groups. In addition, there were no significant dif- ference in HbAlc level between MACE group and Non-MACE group. Single-factor logistic regression analysis showed that HbAlc was not a risk factor for in-hospital MACE (P 〉 0.05). Conclusion The present study suggests that admission HbAlc is not the risk factor of in-hospital MACE in ACS patients with diabetes.展开更多

文摘Background:Statins are frequently prescribed to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality by lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels.However,the use of statins leads to an increased incidence of new-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus(NODM).Our study aims to compare the effect of rosuvastatin versus atorvastatin on NODM in patients with acute coronary syndrome(ACS)who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)within 18 months of follow-up.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted on patients with ACS who underwent PCI and were treated with rosuvastatin or atorvastatin between June 2012 and June 2017.The survival functions between the 2 groups were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared using the log-rank test with NODM as the endpoint.Cox proportional hazards models were used to calculate hazard ratios(HRs)and 95%confidence intervals(CIs)for the risk factors of NODM.Results:In total,220 patients received rosuvastatin and 168 atorvastatin.The cumulative incidence of NODM in the rosuvastatin group was lower but did not reach statistical significance,compared with that in the atorvastatin group(7.27%vs.12.50%,respectively;log-rank P=0.08).Using Cox proportional hazards models,baseline fasting blood glucose level was associated with a statistically significant increase in the risk of NODM(HR:4.56;95%CI:2.83–7.36;P<0.01).Conclusion:Long-term use of moderate rosuvastatin had a similar incidence of NODM compared with atorvastatin in patients with ACS receiving PCI.
文摘Background Diabetes mellitus (DM) is the major risk factor of coronary artery disease (CAD), and the control status of blood sugar has direct effect on the prognosis of CAD. HbAlc is the important parameter reflect- ing control status of blood sugar, however, it is unclear about the value of in-hospital HbAlc in patients with a- cute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for 236 in-hospital diabetic patients with ACS. Patients were stratified into two groups according to HbAlc level when admission (Well con- trolled group (HbAlc ~〈7.0%) and High HbAlc group (HbAlc 〉 7.0%); major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) group and Non-MACE group). In-hospital MACE and mortality were set as the observation target. Results 282 patients (112 in Well controlled group and 170 in High HbAlc group) were enrolled, of which 146 (51.77%), 63 (23.34%), and 73 (25.89%) patients respectively had unstable angina (UA), non-ST-seg- ment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEM[), and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). In- hospital all-cause mortality and in-hospital MACE were both similar in Well controlled group and High HbAlc group (6.25% vs. 7.06% and 15.18% vs. 16.47%, P 〉 0.05). In MACEs, cardiac death (4.46% vs. 5.29%), recurrent myocardial infarction (2.68% vs. 2.94%), hemorrhage events (5.35% vs. 5.29%), malignant arrhyth- mia (6.25% vs. 5.29%), cardiac shock (4.46% vs. 4.12%), acute heart failure (8.93% vs. 10.0%), revascu- larization (4.46% vs. 5.29%) were also all similar in both two groups. In addition, there were no significant dif- ference in HbAlc level between MACE group and Non-MACE group. Single-factor logistic regression analysis showed that HbAlc was not a risk factor for in-hospital MACE (P 〉 0.05). Conclusion The present study suggests that admission HbAlc is not the risk factor of in-hospital MACE in ACS patients with diabetes.
