The end points included patency rates on catheterization laboratory (cath lab) arrival, revascularization results when PCI was performed, complication rates, left ventricular function and restored patency rate following PCI. Results Patency on cath lab arrival was 64% with rt PA (34% TIMI 3,30% TIMI 2), while 31% of placebo (13% TIMI 3, 18% TIMI 2). There was no difference in the restored TIMI 3 rates of IRA between the two groups (85% vs 87%). No difference were observed in stroke or major bleeding. Left ventricular function was similar in both groups (52±9% vs 50±8%), but left ventricular ejection fraction fraction (LVEF) was higher with patent IRA (TIMI 3) on cath lab arrival than that of others (56±12% vs 48±10%).Conclusions Strategy thrombolytic regimens were compatible with subsequent PCI lead to more frequenc early recanalization (before cath lab arrival), which facilitates greater left ventricular function preservation with no augmentation of adverse events.展开更多

This study aimed to compare the role of plasma microRNA-1(miR-1) and cardiac troponin T(cTnT) in early diagnosis of AMI patients.METHODS:From May 2011 to May 2012,plasma samples were collected from 56 AMI patients and 28 non-AMI controls. The expression of plasma miR-1 was measured by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR),and the level of plasma cTnT was measured using electrochemiluminescence-based methods on an Elecsys 2010 Immunoassay Analyzer. SPSS 16.0 was used for the statistical analysis of the results. Data were expressed as mean±standard deviation unless otherwise described. The differences about clinical characteristics between the AMI patients and controls were tested using Student's t test or Fisher's exact test. The Mann-Whitney U test was conducted to compare the expression of microRNAs between the AMI patients and controls. MicroRNAs expression between different intervals of the AMI patients was compared using Wilcoxon's signed-rank test. The receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve was established to discriminate the AMI patients from the controls.RESULTS:In the present study,the expression of plasma miR-1 was signifi cantly increased in the AMI patients compared with the healthy controls(P<0.01). The plasma miR-1 in the AMI patients decreased to the normal level at 14 days(P>0.05). The expression of plasma miR-1 was not related to the clinical characteristics of the study population(P>0.05). ROC curve analyses demonstrated that miR-1 was specifi c and sensitive for the early diagnosis of AMI,but not superior to cTnT.CONCLUSION:Plasma miR-1 could be used in the early diagnosis of AMI,but it is similar to cTnT.展开更多

The conventional treatment of PCI was performed on both groups. Tirofiban injection was given to the observation group on the basis of conventional treatment. cTnI, BNP and echocardiography parameters (LVEF, LVEDD, LVESD) were detected before and after treatment.Results:The comparison of cTnI in the two groups before operation was not statistically significant. cTnI in the 2 groups increased 12 h and 24 h after operation. But the cTnI in observation group (0.10±0.23) ng/mL decreased more significantly than that in control group (0.24±0.31) ng/mL, the difference was considered to be statistically significant. The comparison of BNP in the two groups before operation was not statistically significant. BNP in the 2 groups decreased obviously 7 d and 30 d after operation. BNP in observation group decreased more significantly than that in control group and the difference was considered to be statistically significant LVEF in the observation group increased significantly compared with that in control group 7 d after operation. The comparison of LVEDD, LVESD were not considered to be statistically significant. LVEDD and LVESD in the observation group were lower than that in control group obviously 30 d after operation. While the LVEF in the observation group was still higher than that in the control group. The comparsion was considered to be statistically significant.Conclusion:Tirofiban can improve the troponin, brain natriuretic peptide, heart function in patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction after PCI. It can also decrease the heart injury as well as helping the recovery of heart function.展开更多

Mehtods 100 patients with AMI received urokinase and strepokinase. Coronary angiography (CAG) was performed at 90 minuts and again at 3 to 4 weeks. Results Successful thrombolysis occurred in 60 cases, but failed in 40. The ratio of reperfusion was 60%. CAG showed there were residual thrombi in 84 patients (84% ) and complete coronary occlusion in 40(40% ). Angiography at 3 to 4 weeks after thrombolysis showed the stenosis worsened in 8 patients and improved in 10. Conclusion AMI is caused by sudden coronary thrombotic occlusion and can be reperfused by using thrombolytic agent or mechanical methods. Throm-bolytic agents usually can not resolve thrombi completely. So percutaneous transluminal coronary angiography (PTCA) is recommended as an important method to improve serious residual stenosis.展开更多

In 8 AMI patients (25%), the release kinetics of serum cTnT showed biphasic serum concentration curves with a large peak at 10 to 18 hours after onset and the serum cTnT concentrations were up to 30 to 120 times of the normal upper limit-detected (0.2 μg / ml), and another samll cTnT peak at 70 to 100 hours after onset of pain. The serum cTnT measurements in the remaining 24 AMI patients (75%) gave only one large peak which was around 32 to 108 hours after onset of pain. cTnT appeared in serum as early as 3 to 4 hours and remained elevated until 240 hours after the infarctions. The results indicated that (1) cTnT was a sensitive and specific marker of AMI; (2) the biphasic curve of cTnT releae in general, the ratio of cTnT at around 14 to 32 (14/32)>1 in particular, may be a useful marker suggesting early reperfusion; (3) the continuous elevation of serum cTnT in AMI course might be a prognostic indicator for unfavorable outcomes.展开更多

Methods. In the present study, eighteen patients with acute myocardial in farction(AMI) received 1.5 or 2.0 million U nonspecific urokinase(UK), or 70~80 mg fibrin specific recombinant tissue plasminogen activator(rt PA)and did not use heparin until 8 hours after intravenous injection of the above agents. Eig ht patients with AMI and without thrombolytic therapy were enrolled as controls. Coagulant and thrombolytic activity markers included thrombin antithrombin Ⅲ complex (TAT), D dimer, fibrinogen (Fg), FMPV/Amax. All markers were determined before,immediately,1,2,4 and 8 hours after the administration of thrombolytic a gents respectively. Results. Molecular marker of thrombin generation——TAT showed an activated coa gulant state immediately after thrombolytic therapy. Level of TAT showed no sign ificant changes between every two observed phases in controls. However, level of TAT increased significantly from 4.95±1.75μg/L ( 4.63±1.37μg/L) to 14.71±3 .31μg/L ( 14.25±2.53μg/L) before and immediately after administration of thro mbolytic agents UK(or rt PA). There was significant difference between level of serum TAT of patients with and without thrombolytic therapy (P< 0.05). Patients achieving clinical reperfusion had lower TAT level than those failing in thromb olytic therapy, and higher FMPV/Amax level than controls. D dimer, a surrogate of thrombolytic activity increased markedly and Fg significantly declined afte r thrombolytic therapy(P< 0.05).Conclusions. Thrombin generation occurred in plasma in response to excess fibri nolysis induced by thrombolytic therapy. Both urokinase and rt PA had procoagul ant action. This transient activation of the coagulant system might contribute t o early reocclusion. These data provided the theoretical support for simultaneou s administration of anticoagulant therapy with thrombolytic agents. These result s also suggested that TAT might be useful in predicting clinical outcomes of p atients treated with thrombolytic therapy for AMI.展开更多

We studied the immunological characteristics and clinical impact of CD8+CD57+ T cells in acute MI patients. The frequency of CD57+ cells among CD8+ T cells was examined in peripheral blood sampled the morning after acute MI events. Interestingly, the frequency of CD57+ cells in the CD8+ T-cell population correlated with cardiovascular mortality 6 months after acute MI. The immunological characteristics of CD8+CD57+ T cells were elucidated by surface immunophenotyping, intracellular cytokine staining and flow cytometry. Immunophenotyping revealed that the CD8+CD57+ T cells were activated, senescent T cells with pro-inflammatory and tissue homing properties. Because a high frequency of CD8+CD57+ T cells is associated with short-term cardiovascular mortality in acute MI patients, this specific subset of CD8+ T cells might contribute to acute coronary events via their pro-inflammatory and high cytotoxic capacities. Identification of a pathogenic CD8+ T-cell subset expressing CD57 may offer opportunities for the evaluation and management of acute MI.展开更多

Methods We retrospectively studied patients (n = 248) with acute ischemic stroke, acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, and acute non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction who were treated between January 2013 and October 2015. Baseline demographic data and changes in cTnI levels among these three groups were compared. Patients with acute ischemic stroke were assigned to either the cTnI elevation group (cTnI 〉 0.034 ng/mL) or the no cTnI elevation group (cTnI ≤ 0.034 ng/mL). Logistic regression analysis was used to identify risk factors associated with elevated serum cTnI in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Moreover, the duration of hospital stay and incidence of major cardiovascular outcomes were compared in patients with acute ischemic stroke, with or without elevated cTnI. Results In this study population of patients with acute ischemic stroke (n = 178), acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (n = 35), and acute non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (n = 35), patients with acute ischemic stroke with elevated cTnI comprised 18.54% of subjects. Patients with elevated cTnI were older and more likely to have a history of hypertension. In addition, these patients had higher levels of inflammatory markers, reduced renal functions, increased D-dimer levels, higher NIH stroke scores, and lower left ventricular ejection fractions. Logistic regression analysis showed that both percentage of neutrophil and NIH stroke scores were elevated; estimated glomerular filtration rate and left ventricular ejection fraction were decreased in patients with acute ischemic stroke who had elevated cTnI, and they had more frequent major cardiovascular events during hospital stay. Conclusion Elevated cTnI detected in patients with acute ischemic stroke, indicated a greater likelihood of poor short-term prognosis during hospital stay.展开更多

文摘The release kinetics of the cardiac specific troponin T (cTnT), measured by an immunosorbent assay, in 32 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) was evaluated. In 8 AMI patients (25%), the release kinetics of serum cTnT showed biphasic serum concentration curves with a large peak at 10 to 18 hours after onset and the serum cTnT concentrations were up to 30 to 120 times of the normal upper limit-detected (0.2 μg / ml), and another samll cTnT peak at 70 to 100 hours after onset of pain. The serum cTnT measurements in the remaining 24 AMI patients (75%) gave only one large peak which was around 32 to 108 hours after onset of pain. cTnT appeared in serum as early as 3 to 4 hours and remained elevated until 240 hours after the infarctions. The results indicated that (1) cTnT was a sensitive and specific marker of AMI; (2) the biphasic curve of cTnT releae in general, the ratio of cTnT at around 14 to 32 (14/32)>1 in particular, may be a useful marker suggesting early reperfusion; (3) the continuous elevation of serum cTnT in AMI course might be a prognostic indicator for unfavorable outcomes.
文摘To examine the procoagulant effects of thrombolytic agent on h emostasis and study the role of hemostatic markers as predictors of clinical outcomes. Methods. In the present study, eighteen patients with acute myocardial in farction(AMI) received 1.5 or 2.0 million U nonspecific urokinase(UK), or 70~80 mg fibrin specific recombinant tissue plasminogen activator(rt PA)and did not use heparin until 8 hours after intravenous injection of the above agents. Eig ht patients with AMI and without thrombolytic therapy were enrolled as controls. Coagulant and thrombolytic activity markers included thrombin antithrombin Ⅲ complex (TAT), D dimer, fibrinogen (Fg), FMPV/Amax. All markers were determined before,immediately,1,2,4 and 8 hours after the administration of thrombolytic a gents respectively. Results. Molecular marker of thrombin generation——TAT showed an activated coa gulant state immediately after thrombolytic therapy. Level of TAT showed no sign ificant changes between every two observed phases in controls. However, level of TAT increased significantly from 4.95±1.75μg/L ( 4.63±1.37μg/L) to 14.71±3 .31μg/L ( 14.25±2.53μg/L) before and immediately after administration of thro mbolytic agents UK(or rt PA). There was significant difference between level of serum TAT of patients with and without thrombolytic therapy (P< 0.05). Patients achieving clinical reperfusion had lower TAT level than those failing in thromb olytic therapy, and higher FMPV/Amax level than controls. D dimer, a surrogate of thrombolytic activity increased markedly and Fg significantly declined afte r thrombolytic therapy(P< 0.05).Conclusions. Thrombin generation occurred in plasma in response to excess fibri nolysis induced by thrombolytic therapy. Both urokinase and rt PA had procoagul ant action. This transient activation of the coagulant system might contribute t o early reocclusion. These data provided the theoretical support for simultaneou s administration of anticoagulant therapy with thrombolytic agents. These result s also suggested that TAT might be useful in predicting clinical outcomes of p atients treated with thrombolytic therapy for AMI.
文摘Objective:To evaluate the short-term and long-term curative effects of precise intracoronary retrograde thrombolysis combined with stent implantation,thrombus aspiration combined with stent implantation,and traditional stent implantation in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.Methods:From January 2018 to October 2019,184 patients diagnosed with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and infarction-related arterial blood flow TIMI 0 grade in the First Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical College and percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)were selected.According to different surgical methods,patients were divided into intracoronary retrograde thrombolysis combined with stent implantation group(thrombolysis group,n=57 cases),thrombus aspiration combined with stent implantation group(aspiration group,n=57 cases)),traditional stent implantation group(traditional group,n=70 cases).Compare the incidence of no-reflow phenomenon after percutaneous coronary intervention,the rate of 1 hour ST_segment fall≥50%in the ECG after PCI,and the main adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)during hospitalization;compare the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(LVEDD)、left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)and major adverse cardiovascular events at 1 year after PCI.Results:1.The short-term effects:The incidence of no-reflow phenomenon in the thrombolytic group was lower than that of the aspiration group and the traditional group,and the rate of 1hSTR≥50%was higher than that of the aspiration group and the traditional group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).2.The long-term effects:1 year after percutaneous coronary intervention,the LVEDD of the thrombolytic group was lower than that of the aspiration group and the traditional group,while the LVEF was higher than the aspiration group and the traditional group,and the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events in the thrombolytic group at was lowest,both the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion:The application of intracoronary retrograde thrombolysis combined with stent implantation in STEMI patients can reduce the occurrence of no-reflow,improve long-term cardiac function,and reduce the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events for short-term and long-term.
文摘BACKGROUND Bivalirudin,a direct thrombin inhibitor,is used in anticoagulation therapies as a substitute for heparin,especially during cardiovascular procedures such as percutaneous coronary intervention.AIM To explore the effect of bivalirudin on myocardial microcirculation following an intervention and its influence on adverse cardiac events in elderly patients with acute coronary syndrome(ACS).METHODS In total,165 patients diagnosed with acute myocardial at our hospital between June 2020 and June 2022 were enrolled in this study.From June 2020 to June 2022,elderly patients with ACS with complete data were selected and treated with interventional therapy.The study cohort was randomly divided into a study group(n=80,administered bivalirudin)and a control group(n=85,administered unfractionated heparin).Over a 6-mo follow-up period,differences in emergency processing times,including coronary intervention,cardiac function indicators,occurrence of cardiovascular events,and recurrence rates,were analyzed.RESULTS Significant differences were observed between the study cohorts,with the observation group showing shorter emergency process times across all stages:Emergency classification;diagnostic testing;implementation of coronary intervention;and conclusion of emergency treatment(P<0.05).Furthermore,the left ventricular ejection fraction in the observation group was significantly higher(P<0.05),and the creatine kinase-MB and New York Heart Association scores were CONCLUSION In elderly patients receiving interventional therapy for ACS,bivalirudin administration led to increased activated clotting time achievement rates,enhanced myocardial reperfusion,and reduced incidence of bleeding complications and adverse cardiac events.
文摘Although T cells are known to be involved in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease, it is unclear which subpopulation of T cells contributes to pathogenesis in acute myocardial infarction (MI). We studied the immunological characteristics and clinical impact of CD8+CD57+ T cells in acute MI patients. The frequency of CD57+ cells among CD8+ T cells was examined in peripheral blood sampled the morning after acute MI events. Interestingly, the frequency of CD57+ cells in the CD8+ T-cell population correlated with cardiovascular mortality 6 months after acute MI. The immunological characteristics of CD8+CD57+ T cells were elucidated by surface immunophenotyping, intracellular cytokine staining and flow cytometry. Immunophenotyping revealed that the CD8+CD57+ T cells were activated, senescent T cells with pro-inflammatory and tissue homing properties. Because a high frequency of CD8+CD57+ T cells is associated with short-term cardiovascular mortality in acute MI patients, this specific subset of CD8+ T cells might contribute to acute coronary events via their pro-inflammatory and high cytotoxic capacities. Identification of a pathogenic CD8+ T-cell subset expressing CD57 may offer opportunities for the evaluation and management of acute MI.

文摘Penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer(PAU),an uncommon etiology of acute aortic syndrome(AAS),is a potential cause of chest pain seen in emergency departments.As PAU may lead to electrocardiogram(ECG)changes or rarely,elevated troponin levels,it is most likely misdiagnosed as acute coronary syndrome(ACS).Hence,individuals with PAU may be offered potentially life-threatening treatment.This paper reports a case of a 81-year-old male who presented with intermittent chest pain with a history of old inferior myocardial infarction and stent placement in the left circumflex coronary artery(LCX)three years ago.Initially,he was diagnosed with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction(NSTEMI)based on abnormal ECG changes and raised troponin I.However,emergency coronary angiography(CAG)showed no restenosis in the left circumflex coronary artery(LCX)but with mild stenosis in the left anterior descending artery(LAD)and right coronary artery(RCA).Computed tomographic angiography(CIA)of the whole aorta showed multiple atherosclerotic plaques with penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer in the aortic arch and descending aorta.Endovascular aortic repair with Ankura II covered stent was performed.This case study reminds us that it is clinically difficult to distinguish PAU from ACS.Upon excluding ACS from the diagnosis,we should take into consideration of PAU,especially in elderly patients with positive cTnI.
文摘Objective To study prognostic characteristics of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) elevation in acute ischemic stroke. Methods We retrospectively studied patients (n = 248) with acute ischemic stroke, acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, and acute non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction who were treated between January 2013 and October 2015. Baseline demographic data and changes in cTnI levels among these three groups were compared. Patients with acute ischemic stroke were assigned to either the cTnI elevation group (cTnI 〉 0.034 ng/mL) or the no cTnI elevation group (cTnI ≤ 0.034 ng/mL). Logistic regression analysis was used to identify risk factors associated with elevated serum cTnI in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Moreover, the duration of hospital stay and incidence of major cardiovascular outcomes were compared in patients with acute ischemic stroke, with or without elevated cTnI. Results In this study population of patients with acute ischemic stroke (n = 178), acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (n = 35), and acute non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (n = 35), patients with acute ischemic stroke with elevated cTnI comprised 18.54% of subjects. Patients with elevated cTnI were older and more likely to have a history of hypertension. In addition, these patients had higher levels of inflammatory markers, reduced renal functions, increased D-dimer levels, higher NIH stroke scores, and lower left ventricular ejection fractions. Logistic regression analysis showed that both percentage of neutrophil and NIH stroke scores were elevated; estimated glomerular filtration rate and left ventricular ejection fraction were decreased in patients with acute ischemic stroke who had elevated cTnI, and they had more frequent major cardiovascular events during hospital stay. Conclusion Elevated cTnI detected in patients with acute ischemic stroke, indicated a greater likelihood of poor short-term prognosis during hospital stay.
