Analysis of clinical features in different phases of acute myocardial infarction patients / 中国综合临床

ABSTRACT

Objective The study aimed to analyze the clinical features and the causes of hospital death among the 5720 acute myocardial infarction(AMI)patients from Cardiology Center,Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital during the last 8 years. Methods A total of 5720 AMI patients received treatment in the Cardiology Center from January 1st ,2002 to December 31th ,2009 were retrospectively reviewed. All patients were classified according to age into 3 groups of ≤45,46 -75,and ＞ 75 years old. The morbidity,cause of death ,whether they had the PCI therapy,mortality after PCI and the impact of gender on the cause of death were observed respectively. Results The morbidity rate of male was significantly higher than female in all three groups,and the study also found that the morbidity rate of female was significantly higher in the group of ＞ 75 years old,which however was still lower than that of male. The AMI patients were more likely to accept PCI therapy,which could significantly reduce the mortality rate. The top 3 causes of death included acute heart failure(AHF),cardiogenic shock(CGS)and AHF combined with CGS. In addition,AHF caused significantly more death in female and older(＞ 75 years old)patients. Conclusions The morbidity rate of AMI patients in Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital increased year by year. And PCI therapy could reduce the mortality rate of all groups. Revascularization treatment seems to be feasible and safe for the patients older than 75 years old.
