Abstract: Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) is a set of manifestations or symptoms of coronary artery disease and thrombosis which can threaten the patien’s life due to interfering the blood supply of heart muscle. The infarct size is determined by assessing the coronary arteries lesion, stenosis. This study was aimed to determine the relationship between levels of leukocytes and the severity of coronary arteries lesions in patients with ACS. This was a descriptive analytical study with a cross-sectional retrospective design. The modified Gensini score was used to assess the severity of coronary artery lesion. The first leukocyte count examined when the patients was admitted to the hospital was obtained from the medical records period July to September 2015. Data were analyzed by using SPSS 20.0. The Pearson correlation test showed no significant relationship between the levels of leukocytes and the severity of coronary arteries lesions in patients with ACS (p >0.05). Conclusion: There was no significant correlation between the levels of leukocytes and the severity of coronary arteries lesions in patients with ACS.Keywords: leukocyte, severity of lesion, acute coronary syndrome, modified Gensini score Abstrak: Sindrom koroner akut (SKA) merupakan sekumpulan manifestasi atau gejala akibat penyakit arteri koroner dan trombosis yang dapat mengancam kehidupan pasien karena mengganggu pasokan darah ke otot jantung. Penilaian luas infark dilakukan dengan menilai lesi pembuluh darah koroner yang mengalami stenosis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara kadar leukosit dengan severitas lesi pembuluh darah koroner pada pasien SKA. Jenis penelitian ialah deskriptif analitik retrospektif dengan desain potong lintang. Penilaian severitas pembuluh darah yang mengalami lesi menggunakan skor modifikasi Gensini. Hitung leukosit yang digunakan ialah saat pasien pertama kali masuk Rumah Sakit yang diperoleh dari rekam medis periode Juli-September 2015. Data dianalisis menggunakan SPSS 20.0. Hasil uji korelasi Pearson memperlihatkan tidak terdapat hubungan bermakna antara kadar leukosit dan severitas lesi pembuluh darah koroner pada pasien SKA (p >0,05). Simpulan: Tidak terdapat hubungan bermakna antara kadar leukosit dan severitas lesi pembuluh darah koroner pada pasien Sindrom Koroner Akut.

Abstract Background It is estimated that 5% to 10% of patients with myocardial infarction (MI) present with no obstructive coronary artery lesions. Until now, most studies have focused on acute coronary syndrome, including different clinical entities with a similar presentation encompassed under the term MINOCA (MI with non-obstructive coronary arteries). The aim of this study is to assess the prognosis of patients diagnosed with true infarction, confirmed by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), in the absence of significant coronary lesions. Methods Prospective multicenter registry study, including 120 consecutive patients with a CMR-confirmed MI without obstructive coronary artery lesions. The primary clinical outcome was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE: death, non-fatal infarction, stroke, or cardiac readmission), assessed over three years. Results Seventy-six patients (63.3%) were admitted with a diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome, and 44 (36.6%) for other causes (mainly heart failure); the definitive diagnosis was established by CMR. Most patients (64.2%) were men, and the mean age was 58.8 ± 13.5 years. Patients presented with small infarcts: 83 (69.1%) showed late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in one or two myocardial segments, mainly transmural (in 77.5% of patients) and with a preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (median 54.8%, interquartile range 37–62). The most frequent infarct location was inferolateral (n = 38, 31.7%). During follow-up, 43 patients (35.8%) experienced a MACE, including 9 (7.5%) who died. In multivariable analysis, LGE in two versus one myocardial segment doubled the risk of adverse cardiac events (hazard ratio [HR] 2.32, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.97–5.83, p = 0.058). Involvement of three or more myocardial segments almost tripled the risk (HR 2.71, 95% CI 1.04–7.04, p = 0.040 respectively). Conclusions Patients with true MI but without significant coronary artery lesions predominantly had small infarcts. Myocardial 3-segment LGE involvement is associated with a significantly higher risk of adverse cardiac events.

Aim. To study the features of risk profile, coronary artery patterns, and percutaneous coronary intervention in patients aged below 40 years with acute coronary syndrome and stable angina. Methods. 208 patients with coronary artery disease aged below 40 years were examined: 51 (24.5%) patients aged 35 years and younger and 157 (75.5%) aged 3640 years. 98 (47.1%) patients were admitted with acute coronary syndrome; 110 (52.9%) patients with stable angina. In groups of acute coronary syndrome and stable angina, myocardial infarction in past medical history was revealed in 23.5% and 36.4%, respectively. 165 patients underwent percutaneous coronary intervention: 84 (50.9%) with acute coronary syndrome; 81 (40.1%) with stable angina. Results. Patients with stable angina differed by prevalence of myocardial infarction in past medical history, overweight, and family history of coronary artery disease. In group of acute coronary syndrome urban cohort prevailed as well as consumption of energy drinks among patients below 35 years; high prevalence of left ventricular dysfunction. Patients with acute coronary syndrome were characterized by involvement of one and three coronary arteries, and patients with stable angina by pathology of two and three coronary arteries. Involvement of three coronary arteries was equal in both groups. In both groups, anterior interventricular artery was target coronary artery. Patients with stable angina had the same rate of right coronary artery and left circumflex artery involvement. In patients with stable angina, right coronary artery involvement was rarer, and left main coronary artery involvement was two times more frequent than in patients with acute coronary syndrome. The group with acute coronary syndrome was characterized by predominance of discrete lesions and coronary occlusions over diffuse lesions; and the group of stable angina by diffuse lesions, and two-times less frequent coronary occlusions. Conclusion. Among patients with acute coronary syndrome aged below 36 years, revascularization of right coronary artery was predominant, and among patients aged 3640 years with acute coronary syndrome revascularization of left circumflex artery.
