ABSTRACT
Objective : To explore diagnostic value of ankle brachial index (ABI) combined carotid intima‐media thickness (IMT) for CHD in aged patients with DM.Methods :A total of 198 aged DM patients were selected ,including 101 patients complicated with CHD (complicated CHD group ) and 97 non‐CHD patients (pure DM group ).According to number of diseased coronary vessels ,complicated CHD group was further divided into single vessel group (n＝29) ,double vessel group (n＝41) and multi‐vessel group(n＝31).Another 104 healthy aged people were enrolled as healthy control group simultane‐ously.Abnormal ABI rate (percentage of ABI＜0.9) and IMT were measured and compared among all groups .With coro‐nary angiography (CAG) as gold standard ,diagnostic value of single and combined detection of ABI and IMT for CHD were analyzed .Results :Compared with healthy control group ,there were significant rise in abnormal ABI rate (30.7% vs. 53.6% vs.69.3%) and IMT [(0.78 ± 0.46)mmvs.(1.14 ± 0.53)mm vs.(1.46 ± 0.38)mm]in pure DM group and com‐plicated CHD group ,and those of complicated CHD group were significantly higher than those of pure DM group , P＜0.05 or ＜0.01. Compared with single vessel group ,there was significant rise in abnormal ABI rate (51.7% vs.87.1%) in multi‐vessel group , P＝0.003 ;significant rise in IMT [(1.21 ± 0.42)mmvs.(1.42 ± 0.34)mmvs.(1.68 ± 0.36) mm]in double vessel group and multi‐vessel group ,and that of multi‐vessel group was significantly higher than that of double vessel group , P＜0.05 or ＜0.01. Sensitivity and specificity of single detection of ABI＜0.9 was 55.6% and 82.2% respectively in diagnosing CHD ;it′s 59.1% and 71.4% respectively for single detection of thickened IMT ;for combined detection ,sen‐sitivity can reach 84.51%(ABI＜0.9 or thickened IMT) and sensitivity can reach 88.91%(ABI＜0.9 combined thickened IMT).Conclusion :ABI combined IMT possesses high diagnostic value screening CHD in aged DM patients ,which is worth extending.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To explore clinical characteristics and severity of coronary lesions in young and aged patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Methods: A total of 60 young AMI patients and 60 aged AMI patients hospitalized in our hospital from Oct 2014 to Apr 2016 were randomly selected as youth group and aged group respectively.General data, clinical characteristics, coronary lesion severity and incidence of adverse events during hospitalization were analyzed and compared between two groups.Results: Compared with aged group, there were significant rise in percentages of male (75.0% vs.100.0%), smoking (43.33% vs.76.67%), family history of CHD (18.33% vs.46.67%) and obesity (30.00% vs.53.33%);and significant reductions in percentages of hypertension (63.33% vs.33.33%) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (50.00% vs.13.33%), P<0.05 or <0.01;significant rise in percentages of clear causes (30.0% vs.60.0%), typical chest pain (58.33% vs.86.67%) and STEMI (43.33% vs.76.67%), significant reductions in percentages of old myocardial infarction history (13.33% vs.0), atypical chest pain and NSTEMI, P<0.01 all;significant rise in percentages of single-vessel disease (18.33% vs.63.33%),medium stenosis (16.67% vs.40.00%), and significant reductions in percentages of multi-vessel disease (61.67% vs.20.00%) and severe stenosis (45.00% vs.20.00%) in youth group, P<0.01 all.Compared with aged group, there was significant reduction in incidence rate of major adverse cardiovascular events (88.33% vs.13.33%) in youth group during hospitalization, P=0.001.Conclusion: Compared with aged patients,the symptoms and ECG manifestations are more typical, vascular lesion range is limited, and complications are few in young AMI patients.
