急性心肌梗塞静脉溶栓治疗冠脉再通者早期ST段再抬高的临床意义

急性心肌梗塞早期静脉溶栓治疗后，一些溶栓再通患者中，可见早期降低的ＳＴ段再度出现抬高现象。本文回顾溶栓成功者８１例，其中早期出现ＳＴ段再度抬高者２１例（占３５％），与ＳＴ段非再度抬高者相比，ＣＰＫ、ＣＰＫ－ＭＢ峰值，心功能及院内死亡率等无显著差异。笔者认为，此现象也为再通的标志之一。因此，急性心肌梗塞溶栓治疗的早期连续监测心电图对确认再通与否非常重要     

Long-term ST database: A reference for the development and evaluation of automated ischaemia detectors and for the study of the dynamics of myocardial ischaemia

The long-term ST database is the result of a multinational research effort. The goal was to develop a challenging and realistic research resource for development and evaluation of automated systems to detect transient ST segment changes in electrocardiograms and for supporting basic research into the mechanisms and dynamics of transient myocardial ischaemia. Twenty-four hour ambulatory ECG records were selected from routine clinical practice settings in the USA and Europe, between 1994 and 2000, on the basic of occurrence of ischaemic and non-ischaemic ST segment changes. Human expert annotators used newly developed annotation protocols and a specially developed interactive graphic editor tool (Semia) that supported paperless editing of annotations and facilitated international co-operation via the Internet. The database contains 86 two- and three-channel 24h annotated ambulatory records from 80 patients and is stored on DVD-ROMs. The database annotation files contain ST segment annotations of transient ischaemic (1155) and heart-rate related ST episodes and annotations of non-ischaemic ST segment events related to postural changes and conduction abnormalities. The database is intended to complement the European Society of Cardiology ST-T database and the MIT-BIH and AHA arrhythmia databases. It provides a comprehensive representation of ‘real-world’ data, with numerous examples of transient ischaemic and non-ischaemic ST segment changes, arrhythmias, conduction abnormalities, axis shifts, noise and artifacts.

Single-stage medial plateau elevation and metaphyseal osteotomies in advanced-stage Blount’s disease: a new technique

PurposeSurgical treatment in advanced-stage infantile Blount’s disease with medial plateau (MP) depression is challenging. Several osteotomies and fixation methods have been described with no established benchmark. We conducted this study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a new single-stage technique for acute medial condyle elevation and metaphyseal osteotomies with internal fixation.MethodsA prospective case series of 19 consecutive patients (21 knees) with severe infantile Blount’s disease underwent a single-stage MP elevation and metaphyseal osteotomies, with internal fixation. The mean age was 10.3 years (8.2 to 13.6) and the mean follow-up was 5.1 years (3.2 to 8.3). The outcome measures included clinical and radiological parameters and patient-reported pediatric outcomes data collection instrument (PODCI) score.ResultsThe mean PODCI score improved significantly from 50% to 88%. The mean internal tibial torsion improved from -27° to 11°. All cases maintained full knee extension, no limitation in flexion range of movement and no signs of instability or lateral thrust gait. All the radiographic parameters improved significantly; the mean tibiofemoral angle improved from -29° to 7°, the metaphyseal-diaphyseal angle improved from 33.4° to 4.7° and the angle of depressed MP improved from 38.3° to 2.4° (p < 0.001). At the latest follow-up, no cases of deformity recurrence were identified, the final limb-length discrepancy was < 1 cm in all patients.ConclusionSingle-stage MP elevation and metaphyseal osteotomies with internal fixation significantly improved the clinical and radiographic parameters and PODCI score in advanced infantile Blount’s disease and precluded the use of external immobilization, with no evidence of deformity recurrence.Level of evidenceIV     

Observations of the relationship between left ventricular aneurysm and ST segment elevation in patients with a first acute anterior Q wave myocardial infarction

Seventy-eight consecutive survivors of a first acute anteriorQ wave myocardial infarction (AMI) underwent two-dimensionalechocardiography (2D echo), colour Doppler echo and radionuclideangiography (RNA) for the diagnosis of left ventricular (LV)anteroapical aneurysm, in order to study the relationship ofthis complication to precordial ST segment elevation in thesepatients. The ST elevation (mm) in lead V₂, the maximum ST elevationin V₁-V₆ and the sum of ST elevation in V₁ to V₆ were calculated.LV aneurysm was present in 19 patients by 2D echo, of whom 12had a paradoxical systolic flow pattern (red and outward towardsthe transducer) at the apex. There was no difference between the mean ST elevation in V₂or the maximum ST elevation in V₁-V₆ in patients with and withoutan aneurysm, although the sum of ST elevations in V₁ to V₆ washigher in the former group (P<0.01). ST elevation of patientswith and without paradoxical systolic flow also did not differsignificantly. Wall motion abnormality (akinesis and dyskinesis)by 2D echo in the anterior wall was seen in 74% of patientswith and 36% of patients without an aneurysm (P<0.005), andin the septal region in 63% and 47% of respective patients (P-NS).There was no difference between the magnitude of ST elevationin subgroups of patients with ejection fraction (EF) 30% to40%, but the mean EF of patients with (23 ± 2.1%) andwithout a LV aneurysm (34 ± 1.3%) differed (P<0.001). It is concluded that precordial ST segment elevation does notclearly and in the diagnosis of an anteroapical LV aneurysm.It is related to akinesis and dyskinesis in anterior and septalregions inherent in patients with AMI and does not indicateimpaired LV function.     

Further elevation of the ST segment during the first hour of thrombolysis: A possible early marker of reperfusion

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the clinical implications of early electrocardiographicchanges during thrombolysis in a randomized study in patientswith an acute myocardial infarction. BACKGROUND: Re-elevation of a rapidly resolving ST segment during thrombolysisis currently interpreted as a sign of re-occlusion, but a furtherelevation at very early stages of lytic therapy may not necessarilyhave the same implications. METHODS: In 214 patients with a first transmural acute myocardial infarctionof 4 h randomized to fibrinolytic (streptokinase group, n: 110)vs non fibrinolytic medical therapy (control group, n: 104),a standard 12 lead ECG was continuously recorded during thefirst 60 min and at 2, 4, 10, 16 and 24 h. Serial enzymes weremeasured during 72 h, and in 156 patients (73%) a coronary angiogramwas performed at 10–15 days. RESULTS: Within the first 20–40 min there was an additional STsegment elevation in 50 patients (45%) from the streptokinasegroup and in 19 from control group (18%) (P<0·0001)but the increment was greater in the streptokinase group (1·2± 1·4 vs 0·3 ± 1·4 mm, P<0·0001).In the streptokinase group, the interval from onset of painto peak creatine kinase MB was shorter in patients with additionalST segment elevation than in those without it (699 ±193 vs 856 ± 299 min, P<0·01). Moreover, in-hospitalmortality tended to be lower in patients whose ST segment waselevated than in those without such elevation (2150, 4%, vs6160, 10%). Incidence of recanalization was high but comparablein these two subsets. In recanalized patients, with or withoutadditional ST segment elevation, the ST segment declined significantlyat 1 h (– 1·0 ± 1·7, P<0·001,vs 0·1 ± 1·5 mm, ns). CONCLUSIONS: Additional ST segment elevation is frequently observed duringthe first hour of intravenous thrombolysis with streptokinase.Its association with a subsequent early decline of ST elevation,reduced mortality, a shorter time interval to peak creatinekinase, and a high rate of late recanalization, suggest thatin some patients it is one of the earliest markers of reperfusion.     

24-hour anti-ischaemic action with once daily nifedipine

Summary The ability of a fatty-alcohol matrix, slow-release tablet of nifedipine 60 mg to maintain a 24-hour antiischaemic action in the fixed dose of 60 mg once daily has been investigated in a randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial.12 normotensive patients with angiographically proven coronary artery disease (stenosis of at least one major vessel 70%) were studied. The anti-ischaemic response was assessed over a period of 4 days as changes in the exercise-induced ST-segment depression 6 h and 24 h postdose, and ST segment changes in 24-h ambulatory ECGs.A measurable anti-ischaemic response was observed in 8 of the 12 patients. Exercise-induced ST-segment depression 6 h after the administration of nifedipine was reduced by 30% compared to placebo, and there was still a measurable anti-ischaemic response 24-h post-dosing. Both responses were independent of changes in exercise blood pressure. In 7 patients with ischaemic episodes in the 24-h ECGs, nifedipine treatment had only a minor effect on the intensity and duration of ischaemia.It is concluded that a significant anti-ischaemic effect lasting 24 h could be demonstrated using effort-induced ST-segment changes in patients with angiographically proven coronary heart disease, who were treated once daily with nifedipine 60 mg as a fatty-alcohol slow release tablet.
