RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the effect of fluvastatin on ventricular remodeling and serum tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-α)level in elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction.Methods 87 elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction were chosen in Jiande Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine from October 2014 to October 2016,were randomly divided into control group(42 cases)and observation group(45 cases),the control group received aspirin,PI Gray chlorine and other conventional treatment,the observation group were given fluvastatinon the basis of the control group treatment.The changes of cardiac function and serum inflammatory factor TNF-α levels were observed before and after treatment.Results After the treatment,left ventricular weight index such asleft ventricular systolic volume index,left ventricular diastolic membrane membrane volume index,left ventricular ejection fraction in the two groups were improved in different degree,but the observation group improved significantly(P<0.05).In the control group,there was no significant improvement; and after treatment,the indexes of the observation group were significantly better than those of the control group(P<0.05).The effective rate in the observation groupwas 93.33％,was significantly higher than the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,the levels of serum TNF-α were significantly improved in the observation group,and the level of serum was significantly decreased compared with before treatment(P<0.05),and the observation group after the treatment was obviously lower than the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion For elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction with fluvastatin can better improve the patient's heart function,improve the body's inflammatory level,effectively improve the treatment effect,inhibit ventricular remodeling.
