ABSTRACT
AIM: To observe the clinical efficacy of antiplatelet therapy with ticagrelor monotherapy after short-term double antibody therapy in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS: A total of 172 patients with ACS who had undergone PCI from October 2018 to April 2022 in our hospital and Subei People's Hospital of Jiangsu Province were selected and divided into three groups according to the patients' medication status: 50 patients in group A (tegretol alone group); 62 patients in group B (aspirin enteric coated tablets + tegretol group); and 60 patients in group C (aspirin enteric coated tablets + clopidogrel hydrogen sulfate group). The patients were observed for postoperative recurrent angina pectoris, in-stent restenosis, revascularization, heart failure, and bleeding. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in postoperative recurrent angina, in-stent restenosis, re-hematologic reconstruction, heart failure, and bleeding between the 3 groups. CONCLUSION: There is no increase in ischemic events, heart failure in patients treated with tegretol antiplatelet therapy alone after a short course of dual antibiotics after PCI and it reduces risk of bleeding.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the changes of heart rate variability (HRV) in patients with essential hypertension (EH) and EH associated with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT),and explore the change of autonomic nerve function in EH or EH associated with IGT patients.Methods A total of 166 individuals were enrolled from the physical examination center and divided into three groups,EH group (62 patients),EH associated with IGT group (56 patients) and control group(48 healthy individuals).HRV and its correlative biochemical indexes were detected.Results Compared with that in control group,the standard deviation of NN intervals (SDNN),standard deviation of average NN intervals in all 5 min segments of the entire recording (SDANN),standard deviation of average NN intervals in all 5 min segments of the entire recording index (SDANNi),the percentage of R-R intervals differing ＞ 50 ms (PNN50) decreased and C-peptide,high sensitivity C-reactive peptide (hs-CRP) level increased in EH group,and there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with that in control group,SDNN,SDANN,SDANNi,root mean square of successive differences (rMSSD),PNN50 decreased and C-peptide,insulin,hs-CRP level increased significantly in EH associated with IGT group,and there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.01).Compared with that in EH associated with IGT group,rMSSD,PNN50 decreased,C-peptide,insulin and hs-CRP level increased in EH group,and there was significant difference (P＜ 0.05 or ＜ 0.01).Conclusions HRV decreases in patients with EH and EH associated with IGT,reflecting the damage of autonomic function.Moreover,it suggests that the damage of autonomic function may associate with the increased insulin and hs-CRP.
