Prognosis of patients with coronary heart disease and normal myocardial perfusion imaging / 心血管康复医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective: To observe influence of different risk factors on prognosis of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and normal myocardial perfusion imaging outcome.Methods: A total of 99 CHD patients with normal myocardial perfusion imaging outcome were selected.Left ventricular function indexes were measured by gated resting myocardial imaging in resting and stress state.All patients received telephone follow-up until natural death (died of other causes) or fatal or non-fatal heart attacks, or the termination of the experiment after 45 months.Cox proportion risk regression model was used to analyze risk factors of fatal and non-fatal heart attacks.Results: A total of 15 cases died during the 45-month follow-up.Mean all-cause mortality per year was 5.05%.Fatal heart attacks occurred in nine cases (9.09%), and non-fatal heart attacks occurred in 21 cases (21.21%).Cox proportion risk regression analysis indicated that smoking and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <50% were risk factors for fatal heart attacks (HR=4.887, 3.365, P=0.043, 0.002), while diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, smoking and LVEF<50% were risk factors for non-fatal heart attacks (HR=2.215~4.544, P<0.05 all).Conclusion: Incidence rate of cardiovascular events is higher in CHD patients with normal myocardial perfusion imaging.Smoking and impaired heart function suggest poor prognosis in these patients.
