Clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated with different parts of heart rupture / 中华危重病急救医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the clinical features and prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated with different parts of heart rupture. Methods Patients diagnosed for AMI complicated with cardiac rupture from January 2010 to December 2015 in Beijing Anzhen Hospital were collected. All of them were divided into free wall rupture group and ventricular septal perforation group according to the rupture site. Clinical features, hospital related examination results, treatment and prognosis of these two groups were analyzed statistically. Results A total of 120 patients with AMI complicated with cardiac rupture were included in the study, including 64 patients with free wall rupture, and 56 patients with ventricular septal perforation. Compared with the ventricular septal perforation group by the single factor analysis, the patients in free wall rupture group had higher age (year 68.88±9.31 vs. 63.86±8.68, t = 3.039, P = 0.003), lower body mass index [BMI (kg/m2) 22.74±2.07 vs. 25.21±2.99, t = -5.203, P = 0.000], higher rate of history of renal insufficiency (12.5% vs. 1.8%, χ2 = 4.942, P = 0.026), higher level of aspartate transaminase [AST (U/L) 76.00 (38.33, 197.50) vs. 33.50 (19.00, 137.50), Z = -2.788, P = 0.005], triglyceride [TG (mmol/L) 1.68±0.50 vs. 1.36±0.70, t = 2.903, P = 0.005], total cholesterol [TC (mmol/L) 4.21±0.74 vs. 3.87±1.01, t = 2.081, P = 0.040], high density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL-C (mmol/L) 1.12±0.91 vs. 0.91±0.32, t = 2.910, P = 0.004] and cardiac troponin I [cTnI (μg/L) 18.83 (4.48, 81.68) vs. 0.82 (0.08, 8.50), Z =-5.011, P = 0.000], lower level of blood urea nitrogen [BUN (mmol/L) 7.11±3.11 vs. 10.14±6.97, t = -2.999, P = 0.004], brain natriuretic peptide [BNP (ng/L) 169.00 (98.50, 485.75) vs. 793.00 (478.75, 1 426.25), Z = -5.739, P = 0.000], and D-dimer [μg/L 219.00 (141.00, 315.75) vs. 310.50 (188.75, 532.00), Z = -2.607, P = 0.009], smaller left ventricular end diastolic diameter [LVEDD (mm) 48.58±5.17 vs. 53.65±6.63, t = -4.631, P = 0.000] and left ventricular end systolic diameter [LVESD (mm) 33.54±5.40 vs. 37.24±6.53, t = -3.397, P = 0.001], lower proportion of left ventricular aneurysm formation [14.1% (9/64) vs. 76.8% (43/56), χ2 = 47.851, P = 0.000] and pulmonary arterial hypertension [20.3% (13/64) vs. 53.6% (30/56), χ2 = 14.368, P = 0.000], higher usage rate of aspirin [100% (64/64) vs. 75.0% (42/56), χ2 = 18.113, P = 0.000], clopidogrel usage rate [82.8% (53/6) vs. 46.4% (26/56), χ2 = 17.578, P = 0.000], ticagrelor usage rate [12.5% (8/64) vs. 1.8% (1/56), χ2 = 4.924, P = 0.026], and common heparin usage rate [53.1% (34/64) vs. 10.7% (6/56), χ2 = 24.174, P = 0.000], lower usage rate of nitrates [70.3% (45/64) vs. 85.7% (48/56), χ2 = 4.063, P = 0.044], higher percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) operation rate [42.9% (27/64) vs. 12.5% (7/56), χ2 = 13.388, P = 0.000], lower coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery rate [7.8% (5/64) vs. 48.2% (27/56), χ2 = 24.930, P = 0.000], success rate of CABG surgery [60.0% (3/5) vs. 100% (27/27), χ2 = 8.233, P = 0.004], and incidence rate of cerebral infarction in hospital [1.6% (1/64) vs. 10.7% (6/56), χ2 = 4.554, P = 0.033], higher hospital all-cause mortality [85.9% (55/64) vs. 23.2% (13/56), χ2 = 47.851, P = 0.000]. The differences of other indicators were not statistically sig nificant. Conclusions Patients with AMI complicated with free wall rupture usually have more risk factors and worse prognosis. These two types of patients should be treated with target.
