Background: Myocardial infarction is one of the major health problems in both developed anddeveloping countries and is the leading cause of premature death among adults in developedcountries while its incidence is on an increase in developing countries as well, including India.Objectives: To determine the prevalence of various risk factors in young AMI patients and tocompare them with that of older patients. To compare the clinical presentation, course, andcomplications among both the groups. Methods: 60 AMI patients were taken into two groupsyounger and older according to age. For the diagnosis of AMI clinical criteria, ECG manifestations,cardiac biomarkers, and echocardiography criteria were taken into account. Risk factor analysis wasdone according to smoking habits, hypertension, lipid profile, diabetic Mellitus, obesity, and familyhistory. All the parameters of both groups were compared and analyzed statistically. Results: AMIwas found to have male preponderance with an M: F ratio of 9:1 and 3.4:1 in group I and II patientsrespectively. Smoking habit was found to be the commonest risk factors. Equal patients in eachgroup had a TC/HDL-C ratio over 4.5. Anterior wall infarction was the commonest form of infractionin both Groups. Among the early complications, the occurrence of heart failure was found to besignificantly higher in Group II patients. Conclusion: In the present study it is evident that thenatural course, the extent of ventricular dysfunction, arrhythmias, wall motion abnormalities,mortality in acute myocardial infarction bears any similarity in both younger and older patientpopulation; but not in all aspects

Background: The impacts of socio-demographic characteristics on acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are not well understood and have not yet been studied much more in our country. Acute myocardial infarction is the most common form of coronary heart disease and the single most important cause of premature death worldwide.Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the impacts of the socio-demographic characteristics on AMI patients and to investigate the association between socioeconomic status and its various indicators and the risk of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This study will help in awareness building in reducing AMI by early detection of socio-demographic variables.Patients and methods: This was a prospective observational study consisted of 325 persons of AMI patients who were aged >20 years. Patients with first time AMI arriving in Coronary Care Unit (CCU) of Rajshahi medical college during the period of 2012-2014, were included. Data were collected through interview.Results: Among the AMI patients, male were more sufferer than female (68.3% vs. 31.7%) and male and female ratio was 2.15:1.0. Highest percentage of education was up to primary level (53.85%). Most of studied subjects (92.0%) monthly income were ≤15000. More than half (59.38%) of the studied population were from rural area, mostly they were Muslim (94.46%) and smokers (50.15%). The mean±SD age of the acute Myocardial infarction patients was 53.75±11.64 years. Mean age of the female patients were a little bit higher than the male patients (female 54.28±11.78 vs. male 53.51±11.63). Highest percentage was in the age group 51-60 years (32%) followed by 41-50 (26.8%) and then age group >60 (23.7%). Among the male patients highest percentage was in the age group 51-60 years (31.1%) followed by 41-50 years (27%) and then age group >60 (24.3%). However, among the female patients, highest percentage were in the age group 51-60 years (34%) followed by 41-50 years (26.2%), and then age group >60 (22.3%). Acute Myocardial infarction patients was more in age group >40 years of age. Interestingly after 60 years of age occurrence of AMI was low in both sexes.Conclusion: Both sex and age influenced AMI. An association was also found among educational level, monthly income, residence area, religion, smoking habit and AMI.TAJ 2016; 29(1): 16-20

Coronary artery disease (CAD) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are  diseases of older age. AMI is uncommon in young age  and rare in adolescence. A seventeen years old Bangladeshi boy developing acute anterior wall MI is described here. Risk factor analysis for CAD revealed absence of most of the conventional risk factors, like  smoking, diabetes mellitus, hypertension. An  elevated lipoprotein(a) and a low HDL cholesterol  was detected in  blood  which are emerging risk factors  of  CAD  in young Bangladeshis.

Abstract Background Type D personality and depression are the independent psychological risk factors for adverse outcomes in cardiovascular patients. The aim of this study was to examine the combined effect of Type D personality and depression on clinical outcomes in patients suffering from acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods This prospective cohort study included 3568 patients diagnosed with AMI between February 2017 and September 2018. Type D personality and depression were assessed at baseline, while the major adverse cardiac event (MACE) rate (cardiac death, recurrent non-fatal myocardial infarction, revascularization, and stroke) and in-stent restenosis (ISR) rate were analyzed after a 2-year follow-up period. Results A total of 437 patients developed MACEs and 185 had ISR during the follow-up period. The Type D (+) depression (+) and Type D (+) depression (−) groups had a higher risk of MACE [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.74–6.07] (95% CI 1.25–2.96) and ISR (95% CI 3.09–8.28) (95% CI 1.85–6.22). Analysis of Type D and depression as continuous variables indicated that the main effect of Type D, depression and their combined effect were significantly associated with MACE and ISR. Moreover, Type D (+) depression (+) and Type D (+) depression (−) emerged as significant risk factors for MACE and ISR in males, while only Type D (+) depression (+) was associated with MACE and ISR in female patients. Conclusions These findings suggest that patients complicated with depression and Type D personality are at a higher risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Individual assessments of Type D personality and depression, and comprehensive interventions are required.

IntroductionDelirium in the postoperative period is a wide-reaching problem that affects important clinical outcomes. The incidence and risk factors of delirium in individuals with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has not been completely determined and no relevant systematic review and meta-analysis of incidence or risk factors exists. Hence, we aim to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to ascertain the incidence and risk factors of delirium among AMI patients undergoing PCI.Methods and analysesWe will undertake a comprehensive literature search among PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, CINAHL and Google Scholar from their inception to the search date. Prospective cohort and cross-sectional studies that described the incidence or at least one risk factor of delirium will be eligible for inclusion. The primary outcome will be the incidence of postoperative delirium. The quality of included studies will be assessed using a risk of bias tool for prevalence studies and the Cochrane guidelines. Heterogeneity of the estimates across studies will be assessed. Incidence and risk factors associated with delirium will be extracted. Incidence data will be pooled. Each risk factor reported in the included studies will be recorded together with its statistical significance; narrative and meta-analytical approaches will be employed. The systematic review and meta-analysis will be presented according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses.Ethics and disseminationThis proposed systematic review and meta-analysis is based on published data, and thus there is no requirement for ethics approval. The study will provide an up to date and accurate incidence and risk factors of delirium after PCI among patients with AMI, which is necessary for future research in this area. The findings of this study will be disseminated through publication in a peer-reviewed journal.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42020184388.

Abstract Background Beneficial effects of overweight and obesity on mortality after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have been described as “Body Mass Index (BMI) paradox”. However, the effects of BMI is still on debate. We analyzed the association between BMI and 1-year major cardiocerebrovascular events (MACCE) after AMI. Methods and findings Among 13,104 AMI patients registered in an Institute of Health in Korea between November 2011 and December 2015, 10,568 patients who eligible for this study were classified into 3 groups according to BMI (Group I; <22 kg/m2, 22 ≤ Group II <26 kg/m2, Group III; ≥26 kg/m2). The primary end point was a composite of cardiac death (CD), myocardial infarction (MI), target vessel revascularization (TVR), and cerebrovascular events at 1 year. Over the median follow-up of 12 months, the composite of primary end point occurred more frequently in the Group I patients than in the Group III patients (primary endpoint: adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 1.290; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.024 to 1.625, p=0.031). Especially, cardiac death in MACCE components played a major role in this effect (aHR, 1.548; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.128 to 2.124, p=0.007). Conclusions Higher BMI appeared to be good prognostic factor on 1-year MACCE after AMI. This result suggests that higher BMI or obesity might confer a protective advantage over the life-quality after AMI.

Background: Metabolic syndrome confers the risk of developing acute myocardial infarction which is the most common form of coronary heart disease and the single most important cause of premature death worldwide. The frequency and association of different components of metabolic syndrome on AMI are not well understood and has not been well evaluated.Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the components of the metabolic syndrome and its association with AMI patients. This study will help in awareness building in reducing AMI by early detection of components of metabolic syndrome.Patients and methods: This was a prospective observational study consisted of 325 AMI patients who were aged >20 years. Patients with first time AMI arriving in CCU of Rajshahi medical college during the period of 2012-2014, were included. Data were collected through interview, clinical examination, and laboratory tests within 24 hrs of AMI. Five components of metabolic syndrome were defined according to criteria set by modified NCEP ATP III (according to ethnic variation).Results: In AMI patients (n=325), no metabolic components were in 24 (7.4%) patients, one in 53 (16.3%), 2 components in 91(28.0%), 3 components were in 61(18.8%), 4 in 67(20.6%) and all 5 components were in 29 (8.9%) patients. In this study, there was no component in 7.4% of AMI patients, at least 1 component was 92.6%, at least 2 components were 76.3%, at least 3 components were 48.3%, at least 4 components were 29.5% and at least 5 components were 8.9%. The Metabolic syndrome was 48.3% (n=157). Among metabolic syndrome (≥3 components) in AMI (n=157, 48.3%) 4 components (20.6%) were more, next was 3 components (18.8%) and than 5 components (8.9%). Overall frequencies of components in acute myocardial infarction (n=325) were in order of abdominal obesity (54.8%) > high blood pressure (54.5%) > high FPG (54.2%) > Triglyceride (46.2%) and low HDL-C (46.2%) in acute myocardial infarction. Highest percentage was observed in abdominal obesity (54.8%) followed by high blood pressure (54.5%) and FPG (54.2%).TAJ 2016; 29(2): 6-10
