ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo explore the clinical significance of heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP) in acute myocardial infarction(AMI) patients. MethodsThe level of H-FABP was assayed within 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h,6 h and 12 h by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 46 AMI patients, and cardiac troponin Ⅰ(cTnⅠ) and creatinine kinase(CK-MB) also was assayed by routine method.The diagnostic accuracy was compared among different methods. ResultsThe diagnostic accuracy of H-FABP[95.7％ (44/46)] was significantly higher than cTnⅠ[65.2％(30/46)] and CK-MB[41.3％ (19/46)](P ＜0.05). The levels of H-FABP, cTnⅠ and CK-MB significantly increased after AMI onset 4,6,12 hrespectively. ConclusionThe diagnosticaccuracy of H-FABP is higher and can be used as a parameter for the early diagnosis of AMI.
ABSTRACT
Objective To assess the clinical efficiency of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on cor-onary artery disease patients with complicated lesions (CAD-CL). Methods A total of 252 patients of CAD-CL treated with PCI from August,2002 to September,2009 were enrolled in the study. Clinical data on prognosis e. g, success rate, complication occurrence and major adverse cardiac events were observed. Results Two hundred and forty-four patients with CAD-CL(including chronic obstruction, bifurcation lesion, long lesion and restenosis) were implanted stent successfully(96.83%), with no residual stenosis or residual stenosis less than 20%. There were col-lateral obstructions in 32 patients and artery secret compartment in 48 patients, and restenosis in 15 patients. One patient of acute anterior myocardial infarction complicated by cardingenic shock was in low blood pressure status after two anterior descending artery stent placement, and died after temporary pacemaker implantation and other positive rescue measures. One patient occurred subacute stent thrombosis on the third day, and was cured after occlusive vas-cular recanalization through emergency PCI. Conclusions Percutaneous coronary intervention for coronary artery disease patients with comphcated lesion is safe and effective.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the correlation between arrhythmia and left ventricular hypertrophy in patients withprimary hypertension. Methods 12-lead synchronous resting electrocardiogram. ambulatory electrocardiogram and echo-cardiogram were obtained from 246 patients with primary hypertension. Left ventricular mass index (LVMI ) was meas-ured as previous reference. Results The average LVMI of myocardium hypertrophy group (151.6? 15. 8g/m~2) signif-canily increased compared with that of the control group (P
