PURPOSE: To evaluate whether the shortening of the QTc-interval, measured in Q-wave leads showing ST segment elevation during exercise testing may be a marker of stress-induced transmural ischemia (and indirectly of myocardial viability) in the infarct zone in patients with prior Q-wave anterior myocardial infarction. METHODS: We evaluated 15 consecutive patients (Group A) with previous anterior myocardial infarction presenting these peculiarities: 1) ST segment elevation over Q waves during exercise testing; 2) critical (> 75%) stenosis of LAD; 3) evidence by echocardiography and stress-redistribution-reinjection 201thallium myocardial scintigraphy (SRR201TIMS) of viable myocardium in the infarct zone (akinetic segments with normal echo-reflectivity plus > 7 mm end-diastolic wall thickness and significant 201thallium redistribution after reinjection). The study control group (Group B) consisted of 15 patients with previous myocardial infarction, critical stenosis of LAD and evidence of scarring by imaging techniques (increased echo-reflectivity associated with an end-diastolic wall thickness < 6 mm and no 201thallium redistribution in infarcted areas). The QTc interval was measured at rest and at peak stress in all leads, and particularly in infarct-related leads showing ST-T changes, and the lead-by-lead fractional difference percentage between the QTc intervals (delta QTc) was calculated. The delta QTc was measured again during exercise testing in 11 patients from Group A (Group A1) who showed significant contractility recovery three months after complete myocardial revascularization. A delta QTc shortening < -10% was considered "significant". RESULTS: In 14/15 patients from Group A, a significant delta QTc shortening was measured, while in 14/15 patients from Group B no significant delta QTc shortening was detected (sensitivity = 93.3%; specificity = 93.3%) (p < 0.0001). The mean delta QTc in Group A was -18.1 +/- 8.5%; the mean delta QTc in Group B was -4.2 +/- 7.8% (p < 0.0001). No patient from Group A1 showed a significant delta QTc shortening in Q-wave leads (mean delta QTc group A1 = +6.9 +/- 14.8%). CONCLUSIONS: delta QTc shortening in infarct-related leads during exercise testing is a simple ECG marker of transmural ischemia and, indirectly, of myocardial-viability. This sign is no more evident after myocardial revascularization and may be useful in identifying "hibernating-myocardium". 相似文献

Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty after intracoronary streptokinase in evolving acute myocardial infarction 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

To achieve optimal myocardial revascularization and prevent rethrombosis of the infarct-related coronary artery, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) was attempted in 18 patients with evolving acute myocardial infarction (9 anterior and 9 inferior) after administration of intracoronary streptokinase. PTCA was attempted 338 +/- 151 minutes after the onset of symptoms. After thrombolytic therapy, 11 patients had a severe residual stenosis and 7 a persistent total occlusion of the infarct-related coronary artery. PTCA was successful in 13 of 18 patients: in 9 of 11 with coronary stenoses and in 4 of 7 with total coronary occlusions. PTCA reduced the severity of the coronary lesion from 91 +/- 2% to 27 +/- 7% (p less than 0.001), and the transstenotic pressure gradient from 38 +/- 5 to 6 +/- 2 mm Hg (p less than 0.01). One patient in cardiogenic shock died during urgent coronary surgery after unsuccessful PTCA. After PTCA, all patients received heparin and antiplatelet agents. One patient had reinfarction with reocclusion of the infarct-related artery 5 days after PTCA. The other 12 patients had an uneventful hospital course, and cardiac catheterization before hospital discharge (8 to 17 days) revealed reocclusion of the infarct-related coronary artery in 3 and persistent patency in 9. Persistent patency of the infarct-related artery was associated with preservation of left ventricular end-diastolic volume (initial 86 +/- 6 ml/m2, follow-up 91 +/- 6 ml/m2), and improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction in some patients. 相似文献

Data are reported on 145 consecutive patients with prior myocardial infarction who had successful percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) of the infarct-related artery (5 +/- 6 months after infarction), and left ventricular (LV) angiograms before PTCA and during follow-up (7 +/- 4 months). There was a significant long-term improvement in LV function, ejection fraction increased from 60 +/- 13% to 64 +/- 13% (p less than 0.001), and regional wall motion abnormalities decreased by 40%. Multivariate discriminant analysis identified reduced LV function and a high degree of stenosis before PTCA as predictors for improvement in LV function (ejection fraction less than 60%: ejection fraction from 48 +/- 9% to 57 +/- 14%, p less than 0.001; and stenosis greater than or equal to 90%: ejection fraction from 59 +/- 15% to 66 +/- 14%, p = 0.003). Restenosis greater than or equal to 90% in patients with initial stenosis less than 90% decreased ejection fraction from 59 +/- 16% to 51 +/- 14% (p less than 0.05). Other factors tested (treatment of infarction by thrombolysis, time between infarction and PTCA, and severity of angina pectoris) had no effect on long-term changes in LV function. It is concluded that successful elective PTCA of a high-grade stenosis in an infarct-related artery may improve LV ejection fraction and regional wall motion abnormalities, especially in patients with impaired LV function. 相似文献

To assess the effects of coronary revascularization on viable but noncontractile myocardium, we examined 21 patients with a documented anterior acute myocardial infarction who had a significant improvement in wall motion abnormality evaluated by two-dimensional echocardiography in the infarct-related artery in response to low-dose dobutamine infusion. All patients had a significant residual stenosis in the infarct-related artery. In response to low-dose dobutamine, there was a marked improvement in contractility in the infarct-related area segments and this was reflected by a decrease in echocardiographic score index from 1.5 +/- 0.15 to 1.09 +/- 0.08 (p = 0.0001). Of these 21 patients, 13 underwent successful revascularization: 10 had percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and three had coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG) (group I). Eight patients received medical therapy only (group II). At 40 +/- 15 days of follow-up, both groups had improvement in their segmental wall motion abnormalities. However, the improvement in group I was greater than that in group II, 1.1 +/- 0.13 and 1.35 +/- 0.1, respectively (p = 0.0002). We conclude that: (1) low-dose dobutamine infusion may identify viable but noncontractile myocardium in patients with acute myocardial infarction and (2) in these patients revascularization causes a greater improvement in left ventricular function over time when compared with a nonrevascularized group. 相似文献

This study was performed to define the in-hospital and late clinical outcome at 5 years in 430 patients who had a failed elective percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and underwent coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery during their hospitalization. This group comprised 5.9% of 7,246 patients undergoing elective PTCA. CABG surgery was performed in 346 patients with ongoing myocardial ischemia (80.5%) and in 84 patients without ischemia (19.5%). Their mean age was 56 +/- 9 years, and 76.3% were male. One-vessel disease was present in 72.3%, and the mean left ventricular ejection fraction was 59 +/- 11%. Overall, 1.9 +/- 0.9 bypass grafts were placed. There was increased use of the internal thoracic artery in the nonischemic group. A new nonfatal postprocedural Q wave myocardial infarction occurred in 21.2% and occurred more frequently in the ischemic (25.4%) than in the nonischemic (3.6%) group (p less than 0.0001). There were six in-hospital deaths (1.4%), an incidence that did not differ between the two groups. Follow-up was 99.8% complete. There were 25 deaths (93.2 +/- 1.5%, 5-year survival), including 16 of cardiac cause (95.3 +/- 1.3%, 5-year cardiac survival). Q wave myocardial infarction occurred in 111 patients (91 in-hospital), and freedom from cardiac death or nonfatal myocardial infarction at 5 years was 71 +/- 3%. In the group going to CABG surgery with ongoing ischemia, the 5-year cardiac survival was 94.9 +/- 1.6%, and in the group without ischemia, the corresponding survival was 96.2 +/- 2.2%. By multivariate analysis, the presence of preoperative myocardial ischemia, pre-PTCA diameter stenosis less than 90%, and the presence of multiple-vessel disease correlated with the occurrence of cardiac death or nonfatal myocardial infarction at 5 years. At this large-volume center with extensive PTCA operator and surgical experience, the excellent survival and low event rates over 5 years support the concept that despite the failed elective PTCA procedure, there was little effect on long-term survival provided the patient underwent prompt successful surgical revascularization. 相似文献

Significance of Q wave disappearance in the chronic phase following transmural acute myocardial infarction 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The mechanism and prognostic implications of Q wave regression following transmural acute myocardial infarction (AMI) were assessed in 54 patients. Of these subjects, 14 lost their Q waves. Exercise myocardial thallium-201 (201Tl) scintigraphy and two-dimensional echocardiography were performed before the patients were discharged from hospital. Two-dimensional echocardiography and electrocardiography were simultaneously repeated about 18 months after AMI. Both the relative 201Tl activity in the infarcted area and the improvement of echocardiographic wall motion index were higher in patients who had lost their Q waves than in those with retained Q waves (70 +/- 14% vs 58 +/- 13%, p less than 0.01; 5.2 +/- 3.0 vs 2.0 +/- 3.4, p less than 0.01, respectively). The prevalence of post-infarction angina pectoris was significantly higher in the former (29% vs 0%, p less than 0.01). We concluded that remnants of viable myocardial muscle might be responsible for Q wave regression following transmural acute myocardial infarction, and the prevalence of post-infarction angina pectoris was high among these patients. 相似文献

Successful transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) should improve left ventricular systolic function. To assess the effect of this procedure 25 patients with coronary heart disease were examined before and 3-to 5 days after successful PTCA with electrocardiographic treadmill exercise test, and exercise two-dimensional echocardiography (modified Bruce protocol). Echocardiographic examination was obtained prior to and immediately following exercise. Left ventricular ejection fraction and segmental wall motion at the baseline and immediately after exercise were assessed. Electrocardiographic evidence of ischemia was found in 16 of 25 patients prior to PTCA and in 9 patients after PTCA. Following angioplasty, exercise duration was increased and the exercise-induced angina rate was significantly decreased. Ejection fraction did not change significantly in patients prior and after PTCA (52 +/- 10% versus 55 +/- 16%, p = NS). Following angioplasty, ejection fraction increased from 55 +/- 10% (rest) to 64 +/- 11% (exercise) (p less than 0.001). New exercise-induced echocardiographic segmental wall motion abnormalities were found in 16 of 25 patients prior to PTCA and in only one patient following PTCA. Significant improvement of ejection fraction and segmental wall motion were also observed in 11 patients with old myocardial infarction subjected to successful angioplasty of infarct-related coronary artery. Opposite to post-exercise results, the resting mean values of these echocardiographic parameters did not differ significantly between pre and post-PTCA examinations. These data demonstrate an improvement in systolic left ventricular function and better exercise tolerance following successful PTCA. This occurs also in patients with old myocardial infarction after angioplasty of infarct-related coronary artery. Two-dimensional exercise echocardiography may be helpful in assessing the early results of successful angioplasty. 相似文献

Despite having smaller infarct size and better left ventricular function, patients with non-Q wave myocardial infarction (NQMI) appear to have an unexpectedly high long-term mortality that is ultimately comparable to that of patients with Q-wave myocardial infarction (QMI). Patients with NQMI may lose their initial prognostic advantage because there is more viable tissue in the perfusion zone of the infarct-related vessel, rendering myocardium more prone to reinfarction. We tested this hypothesis in a prospective study of 241 consecutive patients 65 years of age or younger with acute uncomplicated myocardial infarction confirmed by creatine kinase levels (MB fraction). All patients received customary care and none underwent thrombolytic therapy or emergency angioplasty. Predischarge coronary angiography, radionuclide ventriculography, 24 hr Holter monitoring, and quantitative thallium-201 (201T1) scintigraphy during treadmill exercise were performed 10 +/- 3 days after infarction. Infarcts were designated as QMI (n = 154) or NQMI (n = 87) by accepted criteria applied to serial electrocardiograms obtained on days 1, 2, 3, and 10. The baseline Norris coronary prognostic index, angiographic jeopardy scores, and prevalence of Lown grade ventricular arrhythmias were similar between groups despite evidence for less necrosis with NQMI vs QMI, reflected by lower peak creatine kinase levels (520 vs 1334 IU/liter; p = .0001, 4 hr sampling), higher resting left ventricular ejection fraction (53% vs 46%; p = .0001), fewer akinetic or dyskinetic segments (1.2 vs 2.4; p = .0001), and fewer persistent 201Tl defects in the infarct zone (0.9 vs 1.9; p = .0001). Patients with NQMI also had more patent infarct-related vessels (54% vs 25%; p less than .0001) and a shorter time from onset of infarction to peak creatine kinase level (16.9 vs 22.5 hr; p = .0001). Importantly, the prevalence and extent of quantitatively determined 201Tl redistribution within the infarct zone on exercise scintigraphy was greater in patients with NQMI vs those with QMI (60% vs 36%, p = .007; and 0.98 vs 0.53 myocardial segments, p = .0003); when the two groups were stratified on the basis of the infarct-related vessel, subset analysis revealed the same findings. During 30 months median follow-up, cardiac mortality was low, 8.4% in the QMI group and 9.2% in the NQMI group (p = NS).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

The effect of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) upon regional myocardial perfusion (RMP) was studied in 49 patients (Group I) using T1-201 myocardial scintigraphy (TMS) after exercise. Ten patients with unsuccessful PTCA (Group II) were tested for the reproducibility of measurements and for comparison. All patients had arteriographically documented coronary artery stenosis (greater than or equal to 70%) in at least one major coronary vessel. In group I, average coronary stenosis was 84.0 +/- 7.8% (mean +/- SD) before PTCA and 38.8 +/- 11.9% after PTCA (p less than 0.001). TMS was performed 3 days before and 4 days after PTCA using an arm-assisted step test. Myocardial perfusion images were obtained 5-10 min, 1 hour and 3-4 hours following the injection of T1-201 in anterior, LAO 45 degrees and LAO 80 degrees views. The T1-201 myocardial scintigram was interpreted by the authors. Each scintigram (anterior, LAO 45 degrees and LAO 80 degrees) was divided into 5 roughly equal segments. The perfusion of each segment was graded from 0 (no perfusion) to 3 (normal perfusion). Thus, for each patient a "total myocardial perfusion index (TMPI)" could be calculated, with a score of 45 indicating normal RMP. The total number of involved segments (TNIS) was also calculated as a sum of abnormally perfused segments. In group II, the reproducibility of both TMPI and TNIS was satisfactory (r = 0.97 and r = 0.93, each p less than 0.001). In group I, TMPI before PTCA was 37.8 +/- 4.8 at 5-10 min, 39.8 +/- 4.4 at 1 hr and 40.8 +/- 4.2 at 3-4 hrs. These values increased significantly after PTCA to 41.3 +/- 4.0, 41.9 +/- 4.1 and 42.0 +/- 4.0, respectively (each p less than 0.001). TNIS also decreased significantly following PTCA. Group I patients were further divided into 2 groups: patients with and without previous myocardial infarction. Although patients with previous myocardial infarction had significantly lower TMPI values and greater TNIS values than without previous myocardial infarction, these parameters improved significantly after PTCA. Therefore, we conclude that PTCA can improve exercise induced regional myocardial ischemia, if luminal diameter is dilated by more than 20%. Patients with previous myocardial infarction and persisting angina are also considered to be candidates for PTCA. 相似文献

To assess the value and timing of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) after thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction (AMI), 586 patients in the Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction Study Phase II-A were randomized among three treatment strategies, one using immediate coronary arteriography followed by PTCA if appropriate (immediate invasive strategy group, n = 195), a second that deferred angiography and PTCA for 18-48 hours (delayed invasive strategy group, n = 194), and a third, more conservative, approach in which PTCA was used only if ischemia occurred spontaneously or at the time of predischarge exercise testing (conservative strategy group, n = 197). Predischarge contrast left ventricular ejection fraction, the primary study end point, was similar among the patients in all three treatment groups and averaged 49.3%. The finding of a patent infarct-related artery at the time of predischarge arteriography was equally common among the patients in the three groups (mean, 83.7%); however, the mean residual infarct artery stenosis was greater in the patients in the conservative strategy group (67.2%) as compared with the patients in the immediate invasive (50.6%) and the delayed invasive strategy groups (47.8%) (p less than 0.001). Immediate invasive strategy led to a higher rate of coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) after PTCA (7.7%) than did delayed invasive and conservative strategies (2.1% and 2.5%, respectively; p less than 0.01). Furthermore, among patients not undergoing CABG during the first 21 days, blood transfusion of more than 1 unit was used in 13.8% of the patients in the immediate invasive strategy group, 3.1% of the patients in the delayed invasive strategy group, and 2.0% of the patients in the conservative strategy group (p less than 0.001). At 1-year follow-up, the three treatment groups had similar cumulative rates of mortality (8.7%, pooled over all groups), fatal and nonfatal reinfarction (8.5%), combined death and reinfarction (14.5%), and CABG (17.2%), although the cumulative performance rate of PTCA remained higher in the invasive groups (immediate invasive strategy group, 75.8%; delayed invasive strategy group, 64.3%; and conservative strategy group, 23.9%; p less than 0.001). Thus, because conservative strategy achieves equally good short- and long-term outcome with less morbidity and a lower use of PTCA, it seems to be the preferred initial management strategy. 相似文献

Coronary angiography and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) were performed in 32 patients with evolving acute myocardial infarction. Of the 25 patients with complete occlusion of an infarct-related coronary artery, in 18 (72%) the occluded vessel was successfully opened by an intracoronary infusion of urokinase. With a small dose of urokinase the successful recanalization was achieved in only 25%; with a larger dose it was achieved in 94%. After PTCA, all patients received glucose-insulin-potassium solution for 76 hours. Repeat angiography 42 days later showed a patent coronary artery in 12 (group A) of 18 patients with successful PTCA. In group A, left ventricular ejection fraction increased from 51 +/- 13% to 72 +/- 10% (p less than 0.01) and regional wall shortening from 4.5 +/- 9.5% to 29 +/- 19% (p less than 0.01). In contrast, these variables did not change significantly in patients with unsuccessful PTCA or late reocclusion of an infarct-related vessel (group B). These data suggest that successful PTCA with sustained patency of an infarct-related coronary artery has a beneficial effect on the salvage of the jeopardized myocardium, and glucose-insulin-potassium therapy may enhance the beneficial effect of PTCA. 相似文献

Exercise-induced ST segment elevation 2 weeks after uncomplicated myocardial infarction: contributing factors and prognostic significance 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

To define the prevalence and clinical significance of exercise-induced ST segment elevation during predischarge treadmill testing after uncomplicated acute myocardial infarction confirmed by serum MB creatine kinase (CK) activity, 241 consecutive patients were prospectively investigated with quantitative exercise thallium-201 scintigraphy, rest radionuclide ventriculography and coronary angiography at 10 +/- 3 days. All patients received customary care, and in none was thrombolytic therapy or emergency coronary angioplasty employed. Eighty-two patients (34%) had exercise-induced ST segment elevation of greater than or equal to 1 mm above rest baseline. These patients were similar to the 159 patients without this finding with respect to history of prior infarction, the Norris coronary prognostic index, exercise duration, metabolic equivalents (METs) achieved and peak heart rate-blood pressure product. The frequency of inducible myocardial ischemia and extent of angiographic coronary disease was also comparable in the two groups. Findings associated with larger infarct size and transmural extent of infarction were more common in patients with exercise-induced ST segment elevation than in those without, including higher peak CK values (1,235 +/- 1,037 versus 942 +/- 915 mumol/min per liter, p less than 0.026), lower left ventricular ejection fraction (43 +/- 12 versus 51 +/- 10%, p less than 0.001), a higher prevalence of pathologic Q waves in greater than or equal to 2 contiguous infarct-related leads (80 versus 55%, p less than 0.001), more persistent thallium-201 defects (2.2 +/- 1.1 versus 1.4 +/- 1.1, p less than 0.001), abnormally increased lung uptake of thallium (33 versus 18%, p less than 0.01) and a greater number of akinetic or dyskinetic segments (3.2 +/- 2.5 versus 1.4 +/- 1.9, p less than 0.001).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Infarct size, left ventricular function and infarct-related coronary artery patency were examined in 108 patients who took part in a previously reported placebo-controlled trial of recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rt-PA) in acute myocardial infarction. Coronary angiography was performed 17 +/- 0.8 h after initiation of treatment in 47 patients (group A) or at 10 days in 61 patients (group B). Both groups underwent radionuclide ventriculography 3.8 +/- 0.8 h and again on day 9 after treatment and quantitative thallium scintigraphy on day 8. In group A, the infarct-related artery was patent in 53%; these patients had a smaller global (15.1 +/- 2.5% vs. 25.7 +/- 4.7%, p = 0.029) and regional (14.7 +/- 2.5% vs. 24.1 +/- 4.7%, p = 0.044) fixed thallium defect than did those with an occluded artery. Infarct regional ejection fraction improved by 10.1 +/- 2.1% between early and late studies when the infarct-related artery was patent and by 4.8 +/- 1.4% if it was occluded (p = 0.048); changes in global and noninfarct regional ejection fraction were similar irrespective of perfusion status. Infarct regional ejection fraction and fixed thallium defect were inversely related only when the infarct-related artery was occluded (r = -0.83, p less than 0.0001). In group B, 10 day patency of the infarct-related artery was 67%; there was no difference in patency by treatment assignment or in left ventricular function or infarct size between patients with and without infarct-related artery patency. There was no evidence of an effect of rt-PA therapy beyond that expressed through coronary patency alone in either group A or group B. 相似文献

To compare the efficacy of emergency percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and intracoronary streptokinase in preventing exercise-induced periinfarct ischemia, 28 patients presenting within 12 hours of the onset of symptoms of acute myocardial infarction were prospectively randomized. Of these, 14 patients were treated with emergency angioplasty and 14 patients received intracoronary streptokinase. Recatheterization and submaximal exercise thallium-201 single photon emission computed tomography were performed before hospital discharge. Periinfarct ischemia was defined as a reversible thallium defect adjacent to a fixed defect assessed qualitatively. Successful reperfusion was achieved in 86% of patients treated with emergency angioplasty and 86% of patients treated with intracoronary streptokinase (p = NS). Residual stenosis of the infarct-related coronary artery shown at predischarge angiography was 43.8 +/- 31.4% for the angioplasty group and 75.0 +/- 15.6% for the streptokinase group (p less than 0.05). Of the angioplasty group, 9% developed exercise-induced periinfarct ischemia compared with 60% of the streptokinase group (p less than 0.05). Thus, patients with acute myocardial infarction treated with emergency angioplasty had significantly less severe residual coronary stenosis and exercise-induced periinfarct ischemia than did those treated with intracoronary streptokinase. These results suggest further application of coronary angioplasty in the management of acute myocardial infarction. 相似文献

This clinical study examines the diagnostic accuracy of exercise echocardiography for detecting significant coronary stenoses in infarct-related arteries in patients with healed myocardial infarction. Quantitative coronary angiography and exercise echocardiography using treadmill testing were performed within 2 weeks of each other in 123 patients with a prior myocardial infarction. Coronary lumen diameter stenosis > or =50% by quantitative coronary angiography and the lack of a hyperdynamic response on exercise echocardiography was considered significant. For detection of infarct-related coronary lesions, treadmill exercise echocardiography was highly sensitive (91%) but less specific (59%) than for detection of non-infarct-related artery lesions. The 2 groups of patients with large and small infarct sites had similar sensitivity for detection of residual stenosis of the infarct-related artery (88% vs 96%, p = NS); however, the specificity of the small infarct sites for this purpose was significantly higher than that of the large infarct sites (86% vs 33%, p < 0.01). When remote ischemia was detected on exercise echocardiography, the specificity of exercise echocardiography was significantly lower (33% vs 70%, p < 0.05) than when remote ischemia was not present. Thus, although there is high sensitivity, the specificity of treadmill exercise echocardiography for detecting infarct-related artery lesions is limited. However, high specificity is maintained when the infarct size is small and/or remote ischemia is not present. 相似文献

Two hundred thirty-one patients with a first acute myocardial infarction were randomly allocated within 5 h after the onset of symptoms either to treatment with anisoylated plasminogen streptokinase activator complex (APSAC), 30 U over 5 min, or to conventional heparin therapy, 5,000 IU in a bolus injection. Heparin was reintroduced in both groups 4 h after initial therapy at a dosage of 500 IU/kg per day. One hundred twelve patients received APSAC and 119 received heparin within a mean period of 188 +/- 62 min after the onset of symptoms. Both groups were similar in age, location of the acute myocardial infarction, Killip functional class and time of randomization. Elective coronary arteriography was performed on an average of 4 +/- 1.2 days after initial therapy. Follow-up radionuclide angiography and thallium-201 single photon emission computed tomography were performed before hospital discharge. Infarct size was estimated from single photon emission computed tomography and expressed as a percent of total myocardial volume. The patency rate of the infarct-related artery was 77% in the APSAC group and 36% in the heparin group (p less than 0.001). Left ventricular ejection fraction determined from contrast angiography was significantly higher in the APSAC group than in the heparin group. This was true for the entire study group (0.53 +/- 0.13 versus 0.47 +/- 0.12; p = 0.002) as well as for the subgroups of patients with anterior and inferior wall infarction (0.47 +/- 0.13 versus 0.40 +/- 0.11; p = 0.04 and 0.56 +/- 0.10 versus 0.51 +/- 0.11; p = 0.02, respectively). At 3 weeks, the difference remained significant for the anterior myocardial infarction subgroup. A significant 31% reduction in infarct size was found in the APSAC group (33% for the anterior infarction subgroup [p less than 0.05] and 16% for the inferior infarction subgroup [p = NS]). A close inverse relation was found between the values of left ventricular ejection fraction and infarct size (r = -0.73, p less than 0.01). By the end of a 3 week follow-up period, seven APSAC-treated patients and six heparin-treated patients had died. In conclusion, the early infusion of APSAC in acute myocardial infarction produced a high early patency rate, significant limitation of infarct size and significant preservation of left ventricular systolic function, mainly in anterior wall infarction. 相似文献

In chronic Q-wave myocardial infarction, QT dispersion is closely correlated with infarct size, but this correlation has not been evaluated for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The effects of abnormal fatty acid metabolism on QT dispersion were examined in 123 patients with AMI who underwent resting iodine-123-15-iodophenyl 3-methyl pentadecanoic acid (BMIPP)/thallium-201(201Tl) myocardial single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and electrocardiographic analysis in the subacute phase. The relationship between BMIPP and 201Tl was defined as match when the total defect score for BMIPP was equal to or smaller than that for 201Tl, and as mismatch when the total defect score for BMIPP was larger than that for 201Tl. Twenty-six patients (21%) demonstrated BMIPP-201Tl match and 97 (79%) demonstrated mismatch. Infarct size was closely correlated with QT dispersion (r=0.67, p<0.001) in patients with BMIPP-201Tl match, but weakly correlated (r=0.30, p<0.005) in patients with BMIPP-201Tl mismatch. For small infarctions, QT dispersion was significantly larger in patients with BMIPP-201Tl mismatch than in those with BMIPP-201Tl match (62+/-24 ms vs 41+/-18 ms, p=0.03), but did not differ between the 2 groups for large infarctions. This study shows that QT dispersion is influenced by infarct size and by the presence of metabolically ischemic but viable myocardium in patients with AMI. 相似文献

The effect of perfusion of the infarct artery on myocardial infarct size was studied in 39 patients who had not received interventive therapy. At predischarge coronary angiography, 19 patients had subtotal and 20 total occlusion of the infarct artery. The early ST-segment elevation recorded on a 12-lead electrocardiogram was used as an index of the amount of initially jeopardized myocardium. Infarct size was estimated by peak serum creatine kinase and, at discharge, by a QRS score, sigma Q and sigma R on a 12-lead electrocardiogram, and by radionuclide global and infarct segment left ventricular ejection fraction. Despite a similar degree of initial ischemia (sigma ST), infarct size was smaller in the 11 patients with anterior infarction and subtotal occlusion than in the 9 patients with anterior infarction and total occlusion when measured by peak serum creatine kinase (2114 +/- 1192 U/l vs. 3653 +/- 1059 U/l, p less than 0.02), QRS score (5.0 +/- 2.7 vs. 9.6 +/- 3.5, p less than 0.01), sigma Q (3.25 +/- 2.74 mV vs. 5.92 +/- 3.56 mV, p less than 0.10), sigma R (4.36 +/- 1.25 mV vs. 2.16 +/- 0.91 mV, p less than 0.001), global left ventricular ejection fraction (45.0 +/- 12.2% vs. 33.4 +/- 6.7%, p less than 0.05), and infarct segment ejection fraction (40.4 +/- 8.2% vs. 30.3 +/- 5.4%, p less than 0.05). In the inferior infarct patients, both the degree of initial ischemia and final infarct size were similar in the 8 patients with subtotal and in the 11 patients with total occlusion.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The present study investigated the contractile reserve of myocardium exhibiting reverse redistribution (RRD) of thallium-201 (201Tl) after acute myocardial infarction. Forty patients experiencing their first acute myocardial infarction underwent resting 201Tl single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and low-dose (5-10 microgxkg(-1)xmin(-1)) dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) within 4 weeks after the onset of infarction. The left ventricle was divided into 13 segments for analysis. The severity of defects in 201Tl SPECT and the extent of wall motion abnormality in DSE were visually assessed and scored. The sum of each defect score and wall motion score of infarct-related segments were defined as total defect score (TDS) and total wall motion score (TWM), respectively. Quantitative analysis of 201Tl uptake was also performed. Resting 201Tl SPECT revealed RRD in 16 patients (group RRD), fixed defect (FIX) in 23 patients (group FIX), and redistribution in one. There was a significant difference in improvement of TWM between rest and stress in TWM in both the RRD and FIX groups (p<0.0001, each case). The improvement of TWM with dobutamine was significantly greater in RRD than in FIX (1.6+/-1.0 vs 0.6+/-0.7, p=0.001). There was a positive correlation between the magnitude of RRD and improvement of TWM with dobutamine (r=0.48, p=0.002). Myocardium exhibiting RRD on 201Tl SPECT in patients with acute myocardial infarction has greater contractile reserve than that exhibiting a fixed defect. 相似文献

In patients with a previous myocardial infarction, controversy exists regarding the significance of postexercise ST-segment elevation in the infarct-related leads. Although usually admitted to be a sign of left ventricular dysfunction or myocardial aneurysm, other studies however have related this finding to transient myocardial ischemia and to the presence of jeopardized but viable myocardium in the infarct area. The aim of the present study was to assess the significance of postexercise ST-segment elevation in Q-wave leads as a marker of transmural ischemia or left ventricular dysfunction in 36 consecutive patients, 16 with exercise-induced ST-segment elevation in infarct-related leads. Patients were evaluated by treadmill exercise testing, coronary angiography and ventriculography, thallium-201 tomographic scintigraphy and radionuclide ventriculography within 3 months of the first myocardial infarction. Sixteen patients (group I) had exercise-induced ST segment elevation and 20 (group II) postexercise inversion, no change or pseudonormalization of the T wave in infarct-related leads. The study showed no difference in infarct-related artery, vessel disease or luminal diameter stenosis in groups I and II. The overall agreement between ST shifts and myocardial perfusion in the infarct area was 30.56% with a kappa coefficient of -0.33 (p = NS). The overall agreement between ST shifts and wall motion abnormalities was 69.44% with a kappa coefficient of 0.39 (p < 0.01), stress-induced ST-segment elevation being associated with severe wall contractile disorders in 85% of the patients. In conclusion stress-induced ST-segment elevation in Q wave leads, although not a marker of wall motion abnormalities, is associated with akinesia or dyskinesia of the left ventricular wall. 相似文献
