ABSTRACT
Objective:To analysis the clinical features of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) presenting de Winter pattern on electrocardiogram.Methods:A total of 1 287 patients with AMI admitted to Beijing Luhe Hospital between June 2017 and January 2019 were enrolled in the study. Electrocardiogram and clinical features of 13 patients with AMI presenting de Winter pattern on electrocardiogram were analyzed and compared with anterior wall ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI, n=206). Results:Among the 13 patients, 12 were males, aged (52.23±12.55) years old. Compared to patients with anterior wall STEMI, the age in the de Winter group was younger [(52.23±12.55)years vs. (59.79±12.46)years; t=-2.12, P=0.03], and the time from onset to appearing a typical ECG was shorter [109.0 (71.5, 152.0)min vs. 200.5 (120.0, 397.5)min; Z=-3.38, P<0.01]. Three cases showed a shifting between de Winter pattern and typical STEMI ECG: the de Winter ECG pattern progressed to STEMI in 2 cases, 1 case changed from STEMI to de Winter,then converted to STEMI again. The emergency angiography was performed in all 13 patients, angiography showed that proximal left anterior descending branch (LAD) was involved in 11 cases, mid LAD was involved in 1 case, and diffuse spasm occurred in all vessels in 1 case. The de Winter ECG pattern vanished in all patients after primary percutaneous coronary intervention or emergency angiography. Conclusions:The de Winter ECG pattern suggests an acute proximal or mid LAD artery occlusion, and the de Winter ECG pattern can be alternated with STEMI. The de Winter pattern should be recognized and revascularization should be given early.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To describe the 40-years trend for the mortality of colorectal cancer (CRC) in Shanghai and to estimate the effect of age, period, and birth cohort with Age-Period-Cohort (APC) model.@*Methods@#Data on tumor-releated death from 1975 Janurary 1 to 2014 December 31 was derived from the Yangpu District of Shanghai Center for Diseases Prevention and Control tumor registration system. Colonrectal cancer cases (C18.2-C18.9 and C20 in ICD10) were selected for analyses. Crude mortality, age-adjusted mortality, and Average Annual Percent Changes (AAPCs) were calculated for colon cancer and rectal cancer. The difference of AAPCs between male/female and different age groups were tested. An APC model (reference cohort and period were 1900 and 1975, respectively) was constructed to estimate the age-effect, period-effect, and cohort-effect on the colorectal cancer death.@*Results@#During 1975-2014, 6 725 cases died of colorectal cancer (the cased of colon and rectal cancer were 3 684 and 3 041, respectively). The crude mortality and age-adjusted mortality of colon cancer was 8.83/100 000 and 6.76/100 000, respectively. The crude mortality and age-adjusted mortality of rectal cancer were 7.32/100 000 and 5.67/100 000, respectively. For population in Yangpu District, the crude mortality and age-adjusted mortality of colon cancer increased with time, and the crude mortality of rectal cancer increased with time (P<0.001). AAPC of the crude mortality rate (5.6%) and age-adjusted mortality rate (2.3%) of colon cancer were higher than those in rectal cancer (3.0% and -0.3%), respectively (both P values <0.001). AAPC of the crude mortality rate (males vs. females was 6.2% vs. 5.0%, P<0.05) and age-adjusted mortality rate (males vs. females was 2.7% vs. 1.7%, P<0.05) of colon cancer were higher in males than in females. APC model indicted that CRC-related death increased with age. During 1901 to 1941, the RR values of cohort effects for colon and rectal cancer death were 1.09-5.57 and from 1.04-2.28, respectively; During 1946 to 1991, the RR values of cohort effects for colon cancer and rectal cancer were 5.51-4.32 and 2.16-0.89.@*Conclusion@#From 1975 to 2014, the mortality of CRC in Yangpu District increased gradually, and colon cancer mortality in males increased faster than that in females. The risk of death from colorectal cancer in the 1946-1991 birth cohort declined.
