Correlation of the left ventricular function and emergency percutaneous coronary intervention in elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction at low-risk factor / 中国医师进修杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To approach the correlation of the left ventricular function in elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) at low-risk factor. Methods Forty-five elderly patients hospitalized for AMI were registered, including 20 patients who were underwent emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) after the onset of AMI and 25 patients who received conservative non-invasive therapies. These 45 cases all received echocardiography(ECHO) examination in the 4th and 24th week after acute myocardial infarction. Results In the PCI group, end-diastolic volume index (EDVI) and end-systolic volume index (ESVI) had significant difference (P0.05) after therapy; WMSI was higher than PCI group (P
