ABSTRACT

Objetivo ­ Comparar as características morfológicas do infarto do miocárdio (IM) de pacientes com aterosclerose coronária causando obstrução da luz superior (com aterosclerose grave ­ AG) e inferior a 70% (sem AG). Métodos ­ 194 corações obtidos em necrópsia consecutivas de pacientes gue morreram por IM com idade entre 21 e 82 (média 60) anos, sendo 174 com e 20 sem AG. Resultados ­ A idade média no grupo com Ag foi 56 e a mediana 59 anos; no outro grupo, a média foi de 60 e a mediana 61 anos, havendo diferença significativa na distribuição etária (p = 0,023), com maior quantidade de pacientes abaixo de 40 anos no grupo sem AG. Não houve diferença significativa quanto ao sexo (31,0% de mulheres no grupo com AG e 35,0% no grupo sem AG, p = 0,718), peso médio do coração (com AG 500 g, sem AG 560 g), distribuição dos casos conforme tendo infarto recente apenas, infarto antigo apenas ou ambos (com AG - 36,2%, 28,2% e 35,6% respectivamente; sem AG - 45,0%, 20,0% e 35,0% respectivamente; p = 0,666), paredes acometidas pelos IM (p = 0,715), incidência de infarto hemorrágico (com AG­8,6%, sem AG - 15,0%, p = 0,406), de ruptura de ventrículo esquerdo (com Ag­5,2%, sem AG­10,0%, p = 0,719) e de aneurisma dessa câmara (com AG - 12,1%, sem AG - 15%, p = 0,316). Encontrouse associação entre AG e trombose coronária (trombose antiga recanalizada­p < 0,0001; trombose recente­p = 0,046), que todavia existia quando se restringiu a comparação à trombose recente nos casos não-operados de IM agudo (p = 0,091). Conclusão O grau de obstrução coronária superior ou não a 70% não condicionou diferenças morfológicas significativas em casos fatais de IM. Este dado sugere que esse fator não altera de maneira importante a história natural do IM.


Purpose ­ To compare morphological features of myocardial infarction (MI) from patients with any epicardial coronary artery narrowed at some point more then 70% (severe coronary atherosclerosis­SCA) with those from patients with either no coronary atherosclerosis or only mild (less than 70%) atherosclerosis. Methods ­ Necropsy findings from 194 patients who died due to MI, 174 patients with and 20 without SCA. Ages ranged from 21 to 82 (mean 60) years. Results ­ Mean age was 60 years in the cases with SCA and 56 in the case without it; nevertheless, age distribution was different (p = 0,023), due to the existence of more patients under age 40 in the group without SCA. There was no significant difference concerning sex (31.0% of female patients in the group with SCA and 35,0% in the other group, p = 0.718), mean heart weight (500 g and 506 g), distibution of cases according to time of evolution of MI in recent only, old only or both (cases with SCA - 36.2%, 28.2% and 35.6%; cases without SCA - 45.0% and 20%; p = 0,666), left ventricular wall commited by the MI (p=0.715), incidence of hemorrhagic infarction (with SCA - 8.6%; without SCA - 15.0%; p = 0.406), left ventricular rupture (with SCa - 5.17%, without SCA - 10.0%; p = 0.719) and left ventricular aneurysms (with SCA­12.1%, without SCA - 15.0%; p = 0,316). An association was found between coronary ahterosclerosis and recent (p=0,046) and recanalized (p<0.001) thrombosis, but absent when only recent thrombosis and non-operated cases with recent MI were considered (p = 0.091). Conclusion Necropsy of fatal cases of MI were not signifícantly different in the presence or absence of severe atherosclerotic narrowing (>70%) of epicardial coronary arteries, suggesting that this factor does not modify the natural history of MI.
