Clinical Features With In-hospital and Long-term Prognosis of Acute Myocardial Infarction in Patients Younger Than 40 Years by Different Genders / 中国循环杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective: To evaluate clinical features with in-hospital and long-term prognosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in patients ≤40 years of age by different genders and to analyze the predictors for major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) occurrence. Methods: A total of 685 AMI patients ≤40 years treated in our hospital from 2012-01-01 to 2015-08-31 were consecutively enrolled. The patients were divided into 2 groups by gender Male group,n=650 and Female group,n=35. The baseline data, clinical features, in-hospital MACE incidence were collected by telephone communication and compared between 2 groups; the long-term risk factors for MACE occurrence were analyzed. Results: The AMI ratio in male patients was 94.89%, in female was 5.11% and the onset age in Male group was higher than Female group (35.53±4.21) years vs (34.05±4.98) years,P=0.046. Compared with Female group, Male group showed the lower rates of coronary left main diseases (3.2% vs 11.4%,P=0.012) and in-hospital heart failure (8.3% vs 25.7%,P=0.001). The median follow-up time was of 727.0 (411.5, 1102.0) days and during that period, MACE occurrence rates in Male group was 46 (7.1%) cases and in Female group was 2 (5.7%) cases,P=0.758. Increased level of hs-TnI, (OR=1.003, 95% CI 1.001-1.006,P=0.020) and multi coronary artery disease (OR=1.964, 95% CI 1.018-3.790,P=0.044) were the independent predictors for long- term adverse event occurrence; while PCI (OR=0.475, 95% CI 0.241-0.936,P=0.031) was the protector for long-term prognosis in young male AMI patients. Conclusion: AMI patients≤40 years were mainly in male gender, the mean onset age in male was elder than female. Increased hs-TnI level and multi coronary artery disease were the predictors for MACE occurrence, while PCI was the protective factor for long-term prognosis in young male AMI patients.
