A szerzők 139, nem ST-elevációs infarktus miatt kezelt betegük adatait elemzik. Vizsgálják a betegek kórházi és késői prognózisát, egyes echokardiográfiás adatok prognózissal való összefüggését, valamint a kórházból elbocsátott betegek esetén a szekunder prevenció szempontjából ajánlott gyógyszeres kezelés gyakoriságát. Az utánkövetés a betegek 98%-ában sikeres volt, a bekövetkezett eseményekről, illetve az utánkövetés idején alkalmazott gyógyszeres kezelésről postai kérdőív útján szereztek adatokat. A nők átlagéletkora 78,6, a férfiaké 71,4 év volt. A kezelt betegeknél gyakori volt a társbetegségek (hypertonia, diabetes mellitus, korábbi ischaemiás szívbetegség) előfordulása. A kórházi kezelés időszakában 30 betegnél (22%) történt koronarográfia, és 29 betegnél revascularisatiós beavatkozásra is sor került. A kórházi halálozás 15% volt, az utánkövetés háromnegyed éve alatt 17%-os halálozást észleltek. A kórházban, illetve az utánkövetési idő alatt meghalt betegek szignifikánsan idősebbek voltak azoknál, akik életben maradtak. Egyes echokardiográfiás adatok (ejekciós frakció, végszisztolés átmérő, szegmentális falmozgászavar és a mitralis insufficientia nagysága) prognosztikus jelentőségűnek bizonyultak, mivel szignifikánsan különböztek az életben maradt és a meghalt betegek esetén. A kórházból elbocsátott betegek igen magas arányban részesültek a másodlagos prevenció szempontjából fontosnak ítélt gyógyszeres kezelésben (aszpirin, béta-blokkoló, ACE-gátló, statin). Az utánkövetés idején sem csökkent ezen gyógyszerek használatának aránya, ami a betegek jó compliance-ét igazolja.

Long Term Prognosis

Background: Available data comparing long-term prognosis according to the type of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are scarce, contradictory, and outdated. Our aim was to compare short- and long-term mortality in ST-elevated (STEMI) and non-ST-elevated myocardial infarction (non-STEMI) ACS patients. Methods: Patients presenting with an inaugural ACS during the year 2006 and living in one of the three areas in France covered by the Monitoring of Trends and Determinants in Cardiovascular Disease (MONICA) registry were included. Results: A total of 1822 patients with a first ACS—1121 (61.5%) STEMI and 701 (38.5%) non-STEMI—were included in the study. At the 28-day follow-up, the mortality rates were 6.7% and 4.7% (p = 0.09) for STEMI and non-STEMI patients, respectively, and after adjustment of potential confounding factors, the 28-day probability of death was significantly lower for non-STEMI ACS patients (Odds Ratio = 0.58 (0.36–0.94), p = 0.03). At the 10-year follow-up, the death rates were 19.6% and 22.8% (p = 0.11) for STEMI and non-STEMI patients, respectively, and after adjustment of potential confounding factors, the 10-year probability of death did not significantly differ between non-STEMI and STEMI events (OR = 1.07 (0.83–1.38), p = 0.59). Over the first year, the mortality rate was 7.2%; it then decreased and stabilized at 1.7% per year between the 2nd and 10th year following ACS. Conclusion: STEMI patients have a worse vital prognosis than non-STEMI patients within 28 days following ACS. However, at the 10-year follow-up, STEMI and non-STEMI patients have a similar vital prognosis. From the 2nd year onwards following the occurrence of a first ACS, the patients become stable coronary artery disease patients with an annual mortality rate in the 2% range, regardless of the type of ACS they initially present with.

Abstract Background Diuretics has been reported to have a potential for an activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and the sympathetic nervous system, leading to a possibility of poor clinical outcome in patients with cardiovascular disease. However, few data are available on clinical impact of diuretics on long-term outcome in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) based on plasma volume status. Methods To address the issue, a total of 3,416 survived patients with AMI who were registered to a large database of the Osaka Acute Coronary Insufficiency Study (OACIS) were studied. Plasma volume status was assessed with the estimated plasma volume status (ePVS) that was calculated at discharge as follows: actual PV = (1 − hematocrit) × [a + (b × body weight)] (a=1530 in males and a=864 in females, b=41.0 in males and b=47.9 in females); ideal PV = c × body weight (c=39 in males and c=40 in females), and ePVS = [(actual PV − ideal PV)/ideal PV] × 100 (%). Multivariable Cox regression analysis and propensity score matching were performed to account for imbalances in covariates. The endpoint was all-cause of death (ACD) within 5 years. Results During a median follow-up period of 855±656 days, 193 patients had ACD. In whole population, there was no significant difference in long-term mortality risk between patients with and without diuretics in both multivariate cox regression model and propensity score matching population. When patients were divided into 2 groups according to ePVS with a median value of 4.2%, 46 and 147 patients had ACD in groups with low ePVS and high ePVS, respectively. Multivariate Cox analysis showed that use of diuretics was independently associated with an increased risk of ACD in low ePVS group, (HR: 2.63, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.22–5.63, p=0.01), but not in high ePVS group (HR: 0.70, 95% CI: 0.44–1.10, p=0.12). These observations were consistent in the propensity-score matched cohorts; the 5-year mortality rate was significantly higher in patients with diuretics than those without among low ePVS group (4.7% vs 1.7%, p=0.041), but not among high ePVS group (8.0% vs 10.3%, p=0.247). Conclusion Prescription of diuretics at discharge was associated with increased risk of 5-year mortality in patients with AMI without PV expansion, but not with PV expansion. The role of diuretics on long-term mortality may differ in plasma volume status. Therefore, prescription of diuretics after AMI may be considered based on plasma volume status.
