RESUMO
Objective To investigate whether timing of image acquisition influenced infarct size estimation using delayed CeMRI,and the association of left ventricular ejection fraction between magnetic resol3anee imaging and left ventrieulography Was also studied.Method From Junary 2005 to April 2006,27 first,onset AMI patients [23 male,mean age(54.3±10.5)years]were enrolledinthistudr.Allpatients receivedleft ventrictdographyas well as coronary angiography.The average checking time was(13.2±5.2)clays after the onset of AMI.MR imaging was performed with a 1.5-T magnet(SIMENS).After breath-hold eine images were acquired,patients re.ceived afI intravenous bolus of 0.05 mmol/kg Gd-DTPA at a rate of 5 ml/8.A first-pass perfusion scan was ac.qllired.Then a second bolus of 0.15 mmoVkg Gd-DTPA was give.at a rate of 2 mE/Is.After the hyperenhancement localized,the typical short axis slice with hyperenhancement WaS chosen to repeat imaging for IlleasuriIin.farct size every5minutesfrom5minutes after secondinjection ofcontrast until 20minutes.Results Twexty-seren patients showed hyperenhancement at the delayed CeMRI and hypoenhancement at the first pass enhancement(FPE).The average infarct size estimated by CeMRI WaS(17.9士9.8)%of LV nlass.Myocardial enhancement at a repesentative short-axis slice WIllS(7.2±6.2)%of LV Imss at 5 minutes,(8.5±7.4)%at 10 minutes,(7.3±6.3)%at 15 minutes and(6.9-t-6.4)%at 20 minutes respectively.There WltlS significant difference be-tween lmfninmes and 20-minutes enhancement size(P<0.05).Correlations of EF obtained by cineventriculo-grapIIy and MR irr,lg were significant(r=0.867,P<0.01).There were also correlations between infarction size and pe.k CK(r:O.819,P<O.01),a8 well ills peaI[cTNT(r=0.517,P<0.05)levels.Tuning of image acquisition iufluenced infarct size quantification using delayed CeMRI when TI Was kept constant.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the effect of PCI/CABG for the patients with coronary artery disease(CAD) with LVEF≤40%. Methods 196 CAD patients with LVEF≤40% were divided into PCI (n = 106) and CABG group (n=90). The clinical factors, revaseularization, medication, and in-hospital and follow-up malignant cardiological events(MACCE) were retrospectively compared,and the survival curve were drew by COX regression.Results Survival rate of the PCI group and CABG group in 30-day (96% vs. 94% ), 1-year(95 % vs. 92% ), and 2-year(93% vs. 87% )were similar. There was no MACCE within 30 days in the two groups(92% vs. 92% ) and 1-year survival rate without MACCE was similar in the two groups(86% vs. 88% ). CABG group had higher 2- year survival rate without MACCE than PCI group (83%vs. 72% ). But the COX survival curves of the two group were not signifi-cantly different (P=0. 662). Conclusion The patients with LVEF ≤ 40% undergoing PCI have short-term and long-term survival rate similar to those accepting CABG.
