Intravenous atrial natriuretic peptide prevents left ventricular remodeling in patients with first anterior acute myocardial infarction

OBJECTIVES: The study evaluates the effect of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) compared with nitroglycerin (GTN) on left ventricular (LV) remodeling after first anterior acute myocardial infarction (AMI). BACKGROUND: Compared with GTN, ANP suppresses the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and endothelin-1 (ET-1), which stimulate LV remodeling. METHODS: Sixty patients with a first anterior AMI were randomly divided into the ANP (n = 30) or GTN (n = 30) groups after direct percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. We evaluated LV ejection fraction (LVEF), end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVI) and end-systolic volume index (LVESVI) at the acute phase and after one month. We also measured neurohumoral factors during study drug infusion. RESULTS: There was no difference in the baseline characteristics or LVEF (46.9+/-1.0 vs. 46.8+/-1.3%) between the two groups. Although there was no difference in hemodynamics during the infusion periods, the LVEF was significantly improved after one month compared with the baseline value in both groups, but it was improved more in the ANP group than in the GTN group (54.6+/-1.1%, 50.8+/-1.3%, p < 0.05). Left ventricular enlargement was prevented in the ANP group (LVEDVI, 85.8+/-3.1 ml/m2 to 87.3+/-2.7 ml/m2; p = ns, LVESVI, 45.6+/-1.8 ml/m2 to 41.0+/-2.1 ml/m2, p < 0.05) but not in the GTN group (LVEDVI, 86.2+/-4.1 to 100.2+/-3.7, p < 0.01; LVESVI, 46.3+/-2.8 ml/m2 to 51.1+/-3.0 ml/m2, p = ns). During the infusion, ANP suppressed plasma levels of aldosterone, angiotensin II and ET-1 compared with GTN. CONCLUSIONS: These findings indicate that in patients with a first anterior AMI, an ANP infusion can prevent LV remodeling better than can GTN, and effectively suppresses aldosterone, angiotensin II and ET-1.     

Circulating white blood cell count correlates with left ventricular indices independently of the extent of risk area for myocardial infarction after successful reperfusion

OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that the circulating white blood cell (WBC) and neutrophil counts are related to left ventricular (LV) indices in patients with the same risk area for acute myocardial infarction (AMI), we examined 100 consecutive AMI patients who had the culprit lesion at segment 6 according to the American Heart Association classification and who underwent successful direct coronary angioplasty. METHODS AND RESULTS: The LV ejection fraction (LVEF), end-systolic volume (LVESVI) and end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVI) were obtained by left ventriculography performed 4 weeks after AMI onset. Univariate analysis disclosed that the counts of WBC and neutrophils on admission, and the maximal WBC count correlated negatively with LVEF (r = -0.46, p < 0.001; r = -0.54, p < 0.001 and r = -0.40, p < 0.001, respectively) and positively with LVESVI (r = 0.43, p < 0.001; r = 0.55, p < 0.001, and r = 0.30, p < 0.01, respectively). The counts of WBC and neutrophils on admission also correlated with LVEDVI (r = 0.28, p < 0.01 and r = 0.41, p < 0.001, respectively). Multivariate analysis with other clinical and angiographic factors revealed that the counts of WBC and neutrophils on admission correlated with LVEF (partial correlation coefficient, r = -0.37, p < 0.001 and r = -0.52, p < 0.001, respectively), with LVESVI (r = 0.34, p < 0.01 and r = 0.56, p < 0.001, respectively) and with LVEDVI (r = 0.28, p < 0.01 and r = 0.44, p < 0.001, respectively). The maximal WBC count also correlated with LVEF and LVESVI (r = -0.40, p < 0.001 and r = 0.21, p < 0.05, respectively). CONCLUSION: The present study revealed that the circulating WBC count correlated with function and volume of the successfully reperfused LV after AMI in patients with the same risk area for AMI, indicating that the WBC count needs to be taken into consideration as an independent factor affecting the LV indices.     

Predictive factors of deteriorating left ventricular function after direct percutaneous coronary intervention for acute anterior myocardial infarction

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate useful predictors for the deterioration of left ventricular function after direct percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with acute myocardial infarction. METHODS: This study included 96 consecutive patients with first acute anterior myocardial infarction reperfused successfully by direct percutaneous coronary intervention within 6 hr of the onset, who underwent left ventriculography in the acute (soon after reperfusion therapy) and chronic (20 +/- 8 days after onset) phases. The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and the difference in LVEF (delta LVEF) between the two stages were calculated. The patients were divided into two groups according to the delta LVEF (low delta LVEF group: delta LVEF < 0%, n = 30; high delta LVEF group: delta LVEF > or = 0%, n = 66). RESULTS: There were significantly more patients with diabetes mellitus (53% vs 18%, p = 0.0009), older age (73 +/- 11 vs 67 +/- 12 years, p = 0.003) and complete occlusion of the culprit artery (13% vs 35%, p = 0.03) in the low delta LVEF group than in the high delta LVEF group. Left ventricular end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVI: 75 +/- 14 vs 62 +/- 15 ml/m2, p = 0.002) in the chronic stage and delta LVEDVI(5 +/- 8 vs -3 +/- 14 ml/m2, p = 0.04) were significantly worse in the low delta LVEF group than in the high delta LVEF group. Multivariate analysis identified diabetes mellitus as the only independent predictor of reduction of LVEF (odds ratio 4.44, 95% confidence interval 1.27-15.52, p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS: Some patients with acute anterior myocardial infarction treated by direct percutaneous coronary intervention had reduction of the LVEF. There was a close relationship between reduction of the LVEF and left ventricular remodeling. Diabetes mellitus was the most useful predictor of reduction of the LVEF.

The impact of unrepaired versus repaired mitral regurgitation on functional status of patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy at one year after coronary artery bypass grafting

BACKGROUND AND AIM OF THE STUDY: The issues regarding the appropriate management of patients with ischemic mitral regurgitation (MR) and advanced left ventricular (LV) dysfunction are controversial and limited. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the mid-term dynamics of MR, LV dimensions, function and NYHA functional class in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) and MR who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) either alone or combined with mitral valve (MV) repair. METHODS: A total of 199 patients with LV ejection fraction (LVEF) <35% were included in the study. Of these patients, 73 had MR grade 2+ (group 1), 66 had 0 or 1+ MR (group 2) and underwent isolated CABG, and 60 had MR > 2+ and underwent CABG with MV repair (group 3). RESULTS: At one year after surgery, the severity of MR was unchanged from preoperative grade in group 1 (2.1 +/- 0.5 vs. 1.97 +/- 0.8), and increased in group (0.76 +/- 0.43 vs. 1.44 +/- 0.77; p < 0.05), but was significantly lower in group (2.8 +/- 0.5 vs. 1.6 +/- 0.7; p <0.05). In group 1, the LV end-systolic volume index (LVESVI) tended to increase, the LV end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVI) increased from 69.6 +/- 22.6 to 79.6 +/- 23.2 ml/m2 with an increase in LVEF (from 27.9 +/- 5.9 to 31.3 +/- 9.4%), and pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) increased from 31.9 +/- 7.0 to 39.5 +/- 17.4 mmHg. In group 2, the LV volumes tended to increase, LVEF increased from 30. 3 +/- 4.1 to 34.9 +/- 9.1%, and PAP remained unchanged. In group 3, the LVESVI decreased from 55.4 +/- 16.9 to 47.1 +/- 21.7 ml/m2, LVED-VI tended to decrease, LVEF increased from 31.4 +/- 8.6 to 36.5 +/- 11.3%, and PAP decreased from 35.5 +/- 6.0 to 32.8 +/- 8.3 mmHg. CONCLUSION: Isolated CABG in patients with ICM had no favorable effect on MR reduction, and did not prevent its development. MR grade 2+ in patients with ICM at one year after isolated CABG had a deleterious effect on LV functional status, with progression of LV dilatation and increased PAP. A significant reduction or elimination of MR after combined surgery had a marked positive impact on reverse LV remodeling, including regression of LV dilatation, an increased LVEF, and decreased PAP.     

急诊和择期冠状动脉介入治疗对急性心肌梗死左心室重构和功能的影响

目的评价急性心肌梗死(AMI)患者接受急诊和择期经皮冠状动脉介入(PCI)治疗对左心室重构和收缩功能的影响。方法对48例初次发病,发病时间在12h以内或12～24h之间的AMI患者行急诊PCI术;对27例AMI患者行择期PCI术。于术后2周、3个月和6个月行二维超声心动图测量左心室收缩末容积指数(LVESVI)、左心室舒张末容积指数(LVEDVI)、左心室射血分数(LVEF)和梗死区室壁运动指数(RWMI),并进行对比。结果术后2周、3个月急诊PCI组LVESVI、LVEDVI、LVEF和RWMI均显著优于择期PCI组。两组3个月和6个月时LVESVI、LVEDVI、LVEF及RWMI与2周时比较均有显著改善。至6个月时,两组间LVEDVI、LVEF和RWMI比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05),而LVESVI差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。两组间GWMI在各时间点统计差异无统计学意义。结论急诊PCI及择期PCI均可有效抑制左心室重构和改善左心室功能,急诊PCI更优于择期PCI。     

Clinical significance of acute-phase endothelin-1 in acute myocardial infarction patients treated with direct coronary angioplasty.

BACKGROUND: The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between plasma concentrations of endothelin (ET)-1 and clinical outcome (including mortality) and left ventricular (LV) systolic function in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). METHODS AND RESULTS: The study group comprised 110 consecutive first-AMI patients who were successfully reperfused by primary coronary intervention. Plasma ET-1 concentrations were evaluated 24 h from onset and the patients were divided into 2 groups according to the median value, either a high group (H group: > or = 2.90 pg/ml plasma ET-1; n = 55) or low group (L group: < 2.90 pg/ml plasma ET-1; n = 55). Major complications and LV systolic function were monitored in the 2 groups. Both highly sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) showed a significant positive correlation with ET-1 (BNP: r = 048, p < 0.0001, hs-CRP: r = 0.43, p < 0.001). Chronic stage left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left ventricular end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVI) were significantly poorer in the H group (LVEF: 51+/-15% vs 60+/-13%, p = 0.003, LVEDVI: 74+/-19 ml/m2 vs 66+/-14 ml/m2, p < 0.05). There were significantly more major complications in the H group than in the L group (cardiogenic shock: 18% vs 5%, p = 0.04; cardiac death: 13% vs 0%, p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: In the setting of AMI, plasma ET-1 concentrations may be closely related to LV systolic dysfunction and poor patient outcome, including mortality.

Circulating level of gelatinase activity predicts ventricular remodeling in patients with acute myocardial infarction

BACKGROUND: Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) plays an important role in the development of ventricular remodeling in an animal model of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We examined whether circulating MMP activity can predict left ventricular (LV) remodeling after AMI in humans. METHODS: We measured the circulating level of MMP-2 and MMP-9 activities (gelatinase activity) at 14 days after the onset of AMI by gelatin zymography in 52 consecutive patients (age 62+/-2). All patients underwent direct PTCA and stenting at an acute stage, and were treated subsequently with losartan or enalapril. Biplane left ventriculography was performed at admission, and 2 weeks and 6 months after the onset of AMI. RESULTS: We expressed gelatinolysis activity as the ratio to MMP-2 standard. Mean gelatinase activity was 0.721+/-0.013. We divided patients into two groups, groups with gelatinolysis activity <0.72 (low group, n=27) and >0.72 (high group, n=25). Either change in LV end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVI, ml/m(2)) or end-systolic volume index (LVESVI, ml/m(2)) from admission to 2 weeks was not different between the two groups. Changes in both LVEDVI and LVESVI from 2 weeks to 6 months were greater in high gelatinolysis activity group than those in low activity group. Moreover, circulating level of gelatinolysis activity was positively correlated with changes in LVEDVI and LVESVI from 2 weeks to 6 months. CONCLUSION: These results demonstrate that circulating level of gelatinase activity can predict LV remodeling after AMI. Inhibition of gelatinase activity at the acute phase may be a therapeutic strategy for the prevention of remodeling after AMI.

Cardioprotective effects of magnesium sulfate in patients undergoing primary coronary angioplasty for acute myocardial infarction.

BACKGROUND: Experimental evidence indicates that magnesium sulfate may have potential cardioprotective properties as an adjunct to coronary reperfusion. The present study was designed to examine the hypothesis that magnesium might have beneficial effects on left ventricular (LV) function and coronary microvascular function in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). METHODS AND RESULTS: The study population of 180 consecutive patients with a first AMI (anterior or inferior) underwent successful primary coronary intervention. Patients were randomized to treatment with either intravenous magnesium (magnesium group, n=89) or normal saline (control group, n=91). Pre-discharge left ventriculograms were used to assess LV ejection fraction (LVEF), regional wall motion (RWM) within the infarct-zone and LV end-diastolic volume index. The Doppler guidewire was used to assess coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR) as an index of coronary microvascular function. Magnesium group subjects showed significantly better LV systolic function (LVEF 63+/-9% vs 55+/-13%, p<0.001; RWM: -1.01+/-1.29 SD/chord vs -1.65+/-1.11 SD/chord, p=0.004), significantly smaller LV end-diastolic volume index (63+/-17 ml/m(2) vs 76+/-20 ml/m(2), p<0.001), and significantly higher CFVR (2.95+/-0.76 vs 2.50+/-0.99, p=0.023) than controls. CONCLUSION: Magnesium sulfate as an adjunct to primary coronary intervention shows favorable functional outcomes in patients with AMI.     

Impact of spontaneous anterograde flow of the infarct artery on left ventricular function in patients with a first anterior wall acute myocardial infarction

To assess the impact of spontaneous anterograde flow of the infarct artery on outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), we studied 478 patients with a first anterior wall AMI who underwent coronary angiography within 12 hours after the onset of chest pain; Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) 3 flow was obtained after reperfusion therapy. Patients were divided into 3 groups: 119 patients with spontaneous anterograde flow (initial TIMI 2 or 3 flow) of the infarct artery, 118 patients with an initially occluded artery (TIMI 0 or 1 flow) and time to angiography or=55% (odds ratio 7.13, 95% confidence interval 3.10 to 16.4, p <0.001). In conclusion, although very early reperfusion improved LV function more than late reperfusion, spontaneous anterograde flow was associated with better acute and predischarge LV function after AMI compared with very early reperfusion of an initially occluded artery.

Doppler-derived mitral deceleration time: an early strong predictor of left ventricular remodeling after reperfused anterior acute myocardial infarction

BACKGROUND: The relation between remodeling and left ventricular (LV) diastolic function has not yet been fully investigated. The aim of this study was to determine whether early assessment of Doppler-derived mitral deceleration time (DT), a measure of LV compliance and filling, may predict progressive LV dilation after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). METHODS AND RESULTS: Fifty-one patients (aged 61+/-11 years; 6 women) with anterior AMI successfully treated with direct coronary angioplasty underwent 2-dimensional and Doppler echocardiographic examinations within 24 hours of admission, at days 3, 7, and 30 and 6 months after the index infarction. Mitral flow velocities were obtained from the apical 4-chamber view with pulsed Doppler. End-diastolic volume index (EDVI) and end-systolic volume index (ESVI) were calculated with the Simpson's rule algorithm. Patients were divided according to the DT duration assessed at day 3 in 2 groups: group 1 (n=33) with DT >130 ms and group 2 (n=18) with DT 相似文献

缬沙坦合用安体舒通对急性心肌梗死伴室壁瘤患者血运重建后的血清胶原水平和心功能的影响

目的:研究缬沙坦及合用安体舒通对经再灌注治疗的急性心肌梗死患者血清胶原水平和心功能的影响。方法:首次急性前壁心肌梗死伴室壁瘤患者70例,随机分为缬沙坦组、合用药组(缬沙坦合用安体舒通),在治疗后1周、2周、12周测定血清Ⅰ型前胶原羧基末端肽(PⅠCP)和Ⅲ型前胶原氨基末端肽(PⅢNP)浓度;并在治疗后2周、12周进行二维超声心动图检查。结果:12周时合用药组血清PⅢNP、血清PⅠCP较缬沙坦组明显降低(P0.05)。合用药组的舒张末期容积指数、收缩末期容积指数、局部室壁运动指数、左室射血分数及左室质量指数较缬沙坦组明显改善(P0.05)。结论:缬沙坦能够阻抑急性心肌梗死伴室壁瘤患者的胶原合成,改善心室收缩和舒张功能;合用药组的作用优于单用缬沙坦,显著改善心室收缩和舒张功能。     

Prediction of remote left ventricular volumes and functions after acute myocardial infarction with successful coronary intervention.

BACKGROUND: The scintigraphic perfusion defect size (DS) at 1 week after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) predicts remote left ventricular (LV) volumes and LV ejection fraction (LVEF). The present study examined whether LV volumes and LVEF 6 months after AMI may be better predicted by the combination of LV volumes and LVEF just after reperfusion, and DS at 1 week, after AMI in patients with Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) grade III reperfusion by percutaneous coronary intervention. METHODS AND RESULTS: In 48 patients with AMI and TIMI grade III reperfusion, quantitative gated SPECT (QGS) was performed just after reperfusion, and at 1 week and 6 months after AMI. LV end-diastolic volume index decreased (108+/-8 to 93+/-6 ml/m(2), p<0.05) and LVEF increased (44+/-3 to 50+/-2%, p<0.05) 6 months after AMI. In addition, they were better predicted by a combination of LV volumes and LVEF just after reperfusion and DS at 1 week after AMI. CONCLUSIONS: In AMI with TIMI grade III reperfusion, LV volumes and LVEF at 6 months after MI correlate with the values obtained just after reperfusion. Myocardial perfusion imaging combined with QGS at reperfusion may predict these late-phase parameters.     

Impact of the magnitude of the initial ST-segment elevation on left ventricular function in patients with anterior acute myocardial infarction.

BACKGROUND: In the percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) era, the impact of initial ST-segment elevation magnitude on left ventricular (LV) function in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS: In the present study, 239 patients with total occlusion and 81 patients with spontaneous reperfusion within 12 h of their first anterior AMI were evaluated. The sum of ST-segment elevation (SigmaST) was measured in leads I, aV(L) and V(1-6) shortly before angiography. Predischarge LV ejection fraction (LVEF) was obtained at 15+/-5 days. In total occlusion, the predischarge LVEF was significantly lower in patients with SigmaST >/=10 mm than in those with SigmaST <10 mm (51+/-14% vs 57+/-14%, p<0.01). However, in spontaneous reperfusion, there was no significant difference between patients with ST >/=10 mm and those with SigmaST <10 mm (61+/-13 vs 62+/-14 %, p=NS). Predischarge LVEF significantly correlated with SigmaST in total occlusion (r=-0.25, p<0.01), but not in spontaneous reperfusion (r=0.03, p=NS). CONCLUSION: The results suggest that initial SigmaST is an important predictor of LV function in patients with total occlusion, but not in those with spontaneous reperfusion.     

经皮冠状动脉介入治疗对冠状动脉慢性完全闭塞病变患者左心室重构及心功能的影响

目的评价经皮冠状动脉介入治疗(PCI)对伴左心室收缩功能不全的冠状动脉慢性完全闭塞(CTO)患者左室重构及心功能的影响。方法选择该院心内科住院患者88例,经冠状动脉造影(CAG)证实均为伴左心室收缩功能不全的慢性冠状动脉闭塞病变,根据是否对CTO病变行PCI治疗,将患者分为PCI治疗组(n=48)和药物治疗组(n=40)。于CAG术前及术后1周、3个月、6个月分别进行超声心动图检查,计算校正的舒张末期容积指数(LVEDVI)、收缩末期容积指数(LVESVI)和左室射血分数(LVEF),比较两组患者左室重构及心功能的差异。结果两组CAG基线资料比较,差异无统计学意义。CAG术后1周时两组LVEDVI、LVESVI、LVEF比较,差异无统计学意义。3个月时PCI组LVEDVI较术前显著降低,LVEF显著提高;与药物治疗组相比,差异也有统计学意义。6个月时PCI组LVEDVI进一步降低,LVEF进一步提高。结论PCI能够改善伴左心室收缩功能不全的CTO患者左心室收缩功能,改善左心室重构。
