AIMS: No antithrombotic therapy has been shown to reduce mortality when used with thrombolytics in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). In the OASIS-6 trial, fondaparinux significantly reduced mortality and reinfarction without increasing bleeding in 12 092 patients with acute ST elevation MI. METHODS AND RESULTS: We report the results of a subgroup analysis in the 5436 patients (45%) receiving thrombolytics. According to local practice, 4415 patients did not have an indication for unfractionated heparin (stratum 1) and 1021 did (stratum 2). Fondaparinux reduced the primary study outcome of death or MI at 30 days [Hazard ratio (HR) 0.79, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.68-0.92] with consistent reductions in both mortality (HR and CI) and reinfarction (HR and CI). There was a non-significantly lower rate of stroke (HR 0.77, CI 0.48-1.25). The risk of severe bleeding was significantly reduced (HR 0.62, CI 0.40-0.94), and thus the balance of benefit and risk (death, MI and severe haemorrhage) was clearly reduced by fondaparinux (HR 0.77, 95% CI 0.67-0.90). Results were consistent in the two strata, by the different types of thrombolytics and across various time intervals from symptom onset to treatment. CONCLUSION: In STEMI patients treated with thrombolytic agents (predominantly streptokinase), fondaparinux significantly reduced the risk of death, re-MI and severe bleeds. 相似文献

Tissue Doppler echocardiography is a novel technique that can be used to diagnose right ventricular (RV) systolic dysfunction. Until recently, there have been no data on the influence of tissue Doppler-derived RV systolic dysfunction on exercise capacity after inferior (posterior) myocardial infarction (MI). We studied 90 consecutive patients (76% men, mean age 61 ± 10 years) with first inferior ST-segment elevation MI and left ventricular ejection fraction ≥45%. RV systolic dysfunction was defined as RV systolic myocardial velocity <11.5 cm/s at the basal segment of the RV free wall assessed by pulse tissue Doppler. Patients were categorized as with or without RV systolic dysfunction (RV systolic myocardial velocity 9.34 ± 1.36 and 13.74 ± 1.58 cm/s, respectively). A cardiopulmonary exercise test was performed before or soon after discharge (day 14 ± 10). Patients with RV systolic dysfunction had lower oxygen consumption assessed as percent predicted oxygen uptake in liters per minute and milliliters per kilogram per minute at their anaerobic threshold (61 ± 11% vs 69 ± 17%, p = 0.007; 53 ± 12% vs 61 ± 19%, p = 0.012, respectively) and at peak exercise (71 ± 12% vs 83 ± 16%, p = 0.0001; 62 ± 14% vs 74 ± 21%, p = 0.002, respectively). Multivariate regression analysis revealed that the following independent factors negatively influenced exercise capacity: RV systolic dysfunction, female gender, age, lower body mass index, current smoking, and maximal troponin I concentration. In conclusion, we found decreased exercise capacity in patients with systolic RV dysfunction assessed by pulse tissue Doppler in patients with inferior (posterior) wall acute MI despite preserved left ventricular function. 相似文献

The risk of stroke in patients hospitalized with an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) ranges from <1% to ≥2.5%. The aim of this study was to develop a simple predictive tool for bedside risk estimation of in-hospital ischemic stroke in patients with ACS to help guide clinicians in the acute management of these high-risk patients. Data were obtained from 63,118 patients enrolled from April 1999 to December 2007 in the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE), a multinational registry involving 126 hospitals in 14 countries. A regression model was developed to predict the occurrence of in-hospital ischemic stroke in patients hospitalized with an ACS. The main study outcome was the development of ischemic stroke during the index hospitalization for an ACS. Eight risk factors for stroke were identified: older age, atrial fibrillation on index electrocardiogram, positive initial cardiac biomarkers, presenting systolic blood pressure ≥160 mm Hg, ST-segment change on index electrocardiogram, no history of smoking, higher Killip class, and lower body weight (c-statistic 0.7). The addition of coronary artery bypass graft surgery and percutaneous coronary intervention into the model increased the prediction of stroke risk. In conclusion, the GRACE stroke risk score is a simple tool for predicting in-hospital ischemic stroke risk in patients admitted for the entire spectrum of ACS, which is widely applicable to patients in various hospital settings and will assist in the management of high-risk patients with ACS. 相似文献

We performed signal-averaged electrocardiography (SAECG) and Holter monitoring, and subsequently followed-up 53 ambulatory patients with left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) after myocardial infarction (MI). A history of spontaneous episodes of sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) was also analysed. Out of 53 patients, 25 (47%) had an abnormal SAECG. Abnormal SAECG correctly identified nine out of 10 cases with a history of sustained VT. Complex ventricular arrhythmias were detected on Holter monitoring in 23 patients: in five out of 28 with normal SAECG (18%) and in 18 out of 25 with abnormal SAECG (72%) (P less than 0.001). During follow-up (mean 19 months) sustained VT and/or sudden cardiac death (SCD) occurred in eight cases, out of which seven had an abnormal SAECG. The negative predictive value of SAECG (no VT or SCD during follow-up) was very high, 96%, similar to the negative predictive value of a history of sustained VT (93%). Using multivariate analysis only a history of sustained VT was an independent factor in predicting the outcome of patients in this study. We conclude that an abnormal SAECG identifies those post infarction patients with LVA who are prone to complex ventricular arrhythmias. A normal SAECG and an absence of a history of sustained VT strongly indicate that the risk of developing arrhythmic events is very low. 相似文献

Context Accurate estimation of risk for untoward outcomes after patients have been hospitalized for an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) may help clinicians guide the type and intensity of therapy. Objective To develop a simple decision tool for bedside risk estimation of 6-month mortality in patients surviving admission for an ACS. Design, Setting, and Patients A multinational registry, involving 94 hospitals in 14 countries, that used data from the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) to develop and validate a multivariable stepwise regression model for death during 6 months postdischarge. From 17 142 patients presenting with an ACS from April 1, 1999, to March 31, 2002, and discharged alive, 15 007 (87.5%) had complete 6-month follow-up and represented the development cohort for a model that was subsequently tested on a validation cohort of 7638 patients admitted from April 1, 2002, to December 31, 2003. Main Outcome Measure All-cause mortality during 6 months postdischarge after admission for an ACS. Results The 6-month mortality rates were similar in the development (n = 717; 4.8%) and validation cohorts (n = 331; 4.7%). The risk-prediction tool for all forms of ACS identified 9 variables predictive of 6-month mortality: older age, history of myocardial infarction, history of heart failure, increased pulse rate at presentation, lower systolic blood pressure at presentation, elevated initial serum creatinine level, elevated initial serum cardiac biomarker levels, ST-segment depression on presenting electrocardiogram, and not having a percutaneous coronary intervention performed in hospital. The c statistics for the development and validation cohorts were 0.81 and 0.75, respectively. Conclusions The GRACE 6-month postdischarge prediction model is a simple, robust tool for predicting mortality in patients with ACS. Clinicians may find it simple to use and applicable to clinical practice. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Syncope after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a common clinical problem. It may be hypothesised that remodelling and neurohormonal changes following AMI may predispose to neuromediated syncope. DESIGN: To address this issue we prospectively evaluated the incidence of positive results of head-up tilt-table testing in 40 patients following AMI and 40 age and sex matched controls without a history of syncope. The mechanisms of tilt-induced changes in autonomic tone were assessed using spectral analysis of heart rate variability. The patients were followed-up for one year. RESULTS: Positive results of tilt-test occurred in 4 (10%) controls and 13 (33%) AMI patients (P = 0.01). No significant differences in sympathovagal interaction (assessed by a low frequency/high frequency ratio) were detected between the groups before tilting (2. 9 +/- 1.9 vs. 3.1 +/- 2.2; NS). However, dynamic changes of this parameter differed significantly during the first 5 symptomless minutes of the active phase of tilt-test. The ratio increased in the majority of controls (87%) and decreased in the majority of patients (62%) (P < 0.0001). During one year follow-up, syncope or presyncope occurred in 10 (25%) AMI patients but did not occur in any control subject (P < 0.001). The sensitivity, specificity and predictive accuracy of an early tilt-test after AMI for the prediction of syncope or presyncope was 70%, 80% and 78%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Patients after AMI are prone to neuromediated reactions. Sympathetic withdrawal seems to be the most likely mechanism of syncope. The role of tilt testing for identification of patients susceptible to syncope or presyncope after AMI needs further investigation. 相似文献
