RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the characteristics of risk factors, coronary angiography (CAG) and cardiac func tions in young patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods A total of 37 cases of young patients with acute myocardial infarction were chosen, and 41 cases of middle-aged and aged patients with acute myocardial infarction who were admitted in our hospital in the same period were chosen. The differences of risk factors, infarction position, coro-nary angiography infarction and heart functions between the youth group and the middle-aged and aged group were analyzed. Results Males accounted for 92.1%in the young group. Smoking, family history of coronary heart disease and high triglycerides (TG) were independent risk factors for the youth group. Coronary artery disease of the youth group compared with that of the middle-aged and aged group was mainly characterized by a single branch disease (55.3%), and that of the middle-aged and aged group was mainly characterized by triple vessel lesions (43.9%). And infarct-re lated artery anterior in the youth group occurred mainly in the descending branch (71.7%). It was found that cardiac functions of the middle-aged and aged group were better than those of the youth group by cardiac angiography (P<0.05). Conclusion Acute myocardial infarction in youth group mainly occurs in men with several risk factors and coronary an-giography single vessel disease is more common by coronary angiography with no significant change in cardiac structure and functions. Strengthening the MI education, early detection and intervention may improve prognosis.
RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate the prognestic effect of thrombus aspiration combined tirofiban in patients of acute myocardial infarction. Methods 372 patients with acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction were randomly divided into the observation group (n=183) and the control group (n=189). Patients in the observation group received thrombus aspiration combined tirofiban additional to conventional treatment, and cases in the control group received routine treatment. The curative effect, postoperative complications and adverse reactions were compared between the 2 groups. Results The postoperative TIMI classⅢperfusion was achieved in 152 cases (83.1%) in the observation group and 140 cases (74.1%) in the control group (P 0.05). MACE reorded within 30 d post operation was 10 cases(5.5%) in the observation group and 22 cases (11.6%) in the control group (P < 0.05). No thrombocytopenia recorded in both groups. Conclusions Thrombus aspiration combined tirofiban for patients with acute myocardial infarction during PCI can improve the postoperative coronary artery perfusion, left ventricular ejection function and reduce the incidence of MACE within 30 days.
