Objective:To investigate the impact of diabetes mellitus (DM) and stroke on long-term outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods:Total 411 consecutive ACS patients undergoing PCI at the Ninth People′s Hospital of Zhengzhou between December 2014 and June 2018 were recruited, including 319 males and 92 females with a mean age of (64.7±10.1) years. These patients were divided into 4 groups according to the presence or absence of history of diabetes or stroke: non-DM non-stroke group ( n=192) , DM group ( n=140), stroke group ( n=41), and DM+stroke group ( n=38). The data of baseline demographic characteristics, clinical feature, coronary angiographic findings, and cardiovascular adverse events during long-term follow-up were obtained. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to investigate the long-term clinical outcomes among groups. Results:The mean interval of follow-up was (24.1±13.8) months. Patients with DM+stroke had the highest rates of non-fetal myocardial infarction (χ 2=24.932) , non-fetal stroke (χ 2=9.434) , hospitalization due to heart failure/angina (χ 2=69.290) , revascularization (χ 2=22.918) , cardiovascular death(χ 2=13.473)and all-cause death(χ 2=17.724)as well as hard endpoint events (the sum of non-fetal myocardial infarction, non-fetal stroke, and all-cause death) (χ 2=30.268)and combined major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (the sum of hard endpoint events, hospitalization due to heart failure/angina, and revascularization) (χ 2=119.556)among 4 groups(all P<0.01). In Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, the cumulative ratio of freedom from all-cause death decreased significantly in DM+stroke group compared with no DM no stroke group ( HR=17.121, 95 %CI: 2.527-115.934, P<0.01), but no statistical difference was observed in the cumulative ratio of freedom from all-cause death between DM+stroke group and DM group or stroke group respectively ( HR=3.178, 95 %CI: 0.744-13.582; HR=1.383, 95 %CI: 0.374-5.118; all P>0.05) . Meanwhile, patients with DM+stroke presented significantly lower cumulated ratio free from combined MACE than patients with non-DM non-stroke ( HR=5.423, 95 %CI:2.941-10.036, P<0.01), and the cumulated ratio free from combined MACE also decreased significantly in DM+stroke group as compared to DM group or stroke group respectively ( HR=1.859,95 %CI: 1.167-2.962; HR=1.991,95 %CI: 1.178-3.364; all P<0.01) . Conclusions:ACS patients with combined history of DM and stroke have a worse long-term outcomes after PCI than those with DM alone or stroke alone or without DM or stroke. DM and stroke seemed to have an additive effect on decrease in the cumulative ratio free from combined MACE in ACS patients following PCI.

Methodological comparison of left atrium classification according to the latest echocardiographic data from Chinese adults / 中华超声影像学杂志

Objective To analyze and compare the classification of left atrial size by different echocardiographic measurements based on the latest large sample of normal Chinese adults'echocardiographic data . Methods The echocardiography data of 1067 unselected adult outpatients were retrospectively analyzed . The outpatients were divided into normal or enlarged groups according to the left atrialantero-posteriordiameter(LAD)andleftatrialvolume(LAV),respectively.Results ①LADand LAV enlargement were found in 299 (28 .0％ ) patients and 449 (42 .1％ ) patients of the total population , respectively . ②There was a good positive linear correlation between LAD and LAV ( r = 0 .642 , P =0 .000) ,but the agreement for the classification of left atrial size by LAD and LAV was not ideal ( Kappa =0 .392 , P = 0 .000) . The majority of the patients ( 74 .6％ ) with abnormal LAD had abnormal LAV . Conversely ,among the patients with abnormal LAV ( 50 .3％ ) had normal LAD . ③ The sensitivity and specificity of judging left atrial enlargement were 76 .8％ and 66 .8％ for LAD>3 .7 cm in male ,and 74 .9％and 70 .6％ for LAD>3 .4 cm in female ,respectively . The sensitivity and specificity of judging severely left atrial enlargement were 75 .5％ and 78 .7％ for LAD>4 .0 cm in male ,and 84 .2％ and 75 .8％ for LAD>3 .7 cm in female ,respectively . Conclusions The agreement of the classification of left atrial size by LAD and LAV is limited . LAD-based assessment may result in an underestimation of left atrial size . When LAD is larger than 4 .0 cm for male or 3 .7 cm for female ,the accuracy of LAD in the diagnosis of left atrial enlargement is better .

Assessment of Left and Right Ventricular Mechanical Sequence by Dual Doppler Echocardiography in Normal Subjects / 中国循环杂志

Objective: To observe left and right ventricular mechanical sequence in systole and diastole by dual Doppler Echocardiography in healthy subjects. Methods: Dual Doppler echocardiography was performed in 100 normal subjects with dual-outflow-tract-view and apical four chamber view to simultaneously record the spectrum of left/right ventricular outlfow tract (LVOT)/(RVOT) and left/right ventricular inlfow tract (LVIT)/(RVIT) at the same cardiac cycle. The time cycles of blood lfow spectrum from the peak of QRS complex to aorta, pulmonary artery, mitral valve (MV) and tricuspid valve (TV) were measured, the starting time differences for blood lfow spectrum of aorta and pulmonary artery, MV and TV were calculated to assess the mechanical sequence of left and right ventricle in systole and diastole respectively. Results: There were 48/100 (48%) subjects having LV ejection preceded than RV (95% CI 0.38-0.58), 46 (46%) having RV ejection preceded than LV (95% CI 0.36-0.56) and 6 (6%) having LV, RV simultaneous ejection (95% CI 0.01-0.11). There were 96/100 (96%) subjects having RV iflling prior to LV (95% CI 0.90-0.99), 3 (3%) having LV iflling prior to RV (95% CI 0.01-0.08) and 1 (1%) having LV, RV simultaneous iflling (95% CI 0.00-0.05). Conclusion: There is a regular pattern for mechanical sequence of LV and RV in systole and diastole in healthy subject; in systole, the sequence of LV varies from person to person, while in diastole, RV is always preceded. Based on normal ventricular mechanical sequence, optimizing programming parameter of pace maker and choosing cardiac sequence in diastole might be the ifnal criteria for cardiac resynchronization therapy in the future.

Presence of notched QRS on paced electrocardiographs as a predictor of poor response to cardiac resynchronization therapy / 中华医学杂志(英文版)

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) on patients with advanced and refractory heart failure has made remarkable progress. Clinically, notched QRS (nQRS) is commonly seen on electrocardiographs (ECGs) with bundle branch block morphology and on paced ECGs after implantation of a CRT device, which may reflect the heterogeneity of ventricular myocardial depolarization and electrical activity. The aim of this study was to determine whether patients with more nQRS myocardial segments on paced ECGs had a worse response to CRT than patients with fewer nQRS myocardial segments.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>We prospectively enrolled 56 patients of CRT with chronic heart failure from People's Hospital affiliated to Peking University from January 2007 to October 2013. Based on nQRS segments on ECGs before CRT, we allocated them to two groups: fewer nQRS (<2) myocardial segments (lateral, inferior, anterior segments) group (F-nQRS, G1, n = 23) and more nQRS (≥2) myocardial segments group (M-nQRS, G2, n = 33). Then according to nQRS segments on ECGs after CRT, we divided them into two groups similarly: fewer nQRS (<2) myocardial segments group (G3, n = 24) and more nQRS (≥2) myocardial segments group (G4, n = 32). This study was approved by the ethics committee of People's Hospital.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>At 6 months in the baseline-ECG group, there was a greater absolute increase in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in G2 than in G1 ((11.5±8.9)% vs. (5.5±10.4)%, P = 0.023), with the incidence of nonresponse lower in G2 than in G1 (9.1% vs. 39.1%, P = 0.018). In the paced-ECG group, the absolute increase in LVEF was less in G4 than in G3 ((6.4±8.8)% vs. (12.5±10.4)%, P = 0.024) and the incidence of nonresponse was higher in G4 than in G3 (31.3% vs. 8.3%, P = 0.039). Multivariate analysis showed that fewer nQRS (<2) myocardial segments on paced ECGs (odds ratio 13.920) was a predictor of positive response to CRT.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>nQRS ≥2 myocardial segments (lateral, inferior, anterior) on paced ECGs may predict a poor response to CRT.</p>
