Myocardial Rupture

AIM: Myocardial rupture currently remains in most cases a fatal complication of myocardial infarction. OBJECTIVE: To study the features of the structure of cardiovascular risk factors in men under 60 years old with complicated myocardial infarction to improve prevention. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included men 1960 years old with type I myocardial infarction. The patients were divided into two groups age-comparable: I studied, with myocardial rupture seven patients; II control, without breaks 558 patients. A comparative analysis of the frequency of observation of the main and additional factors of cardiovascular risk in the selected groups was performed. RESULTS OF THE STUDY: In the patients of the study group, frequent (four or more times a year) colds were observed more often than in the control group (42.9 and 14.8%, respectively; p = 0.04), the internal organs foci of infections (85.7 and 40.3%; p = 0.049), bypass surgery (57.1 and 10.2%; p 0.0001) and continuous cardiac pacing (28.6 and 0.5%; p 0.0001) in medical history. The presence of arterial hypertension (28.5 and 67.6%; p = 0.03) and foci of oral cavity infections (0 and 20.3%; p = 0.049) reduced the risk of myocardial rupture. In the study group, the levels of total cholesterol (4.3 0.3 and 5.8 1.2 mmol/l); p = 0.02), low-density lipoproteins (2.7 0.1 and 4.2 1.2 mmol/l); p = 0.04) and triglycerides (0.7 0.1 and 2.6 1.8 mmol/l); p = 0.008) were lower than in the control. CONCLUSION: Combinations of these cardiovascular risk factors indicate an increased risk of myocardial rupture. It is advisable to use them for predictive modeling of this event and the formation of risk groups for the purpose of timely prevention, (bibliography: 18 refs.).

Relevance. Myocardial infarction and its complications in young and middle-aged men with arterial hypertension remains an important problem of modern cardiology. Aim. To evaluate the cardiovascular risk factors structure features in men under 50 years old with arterial hypertension to improve prevention and outcomes. Material and methods. The study included 209 men aged 19-50 years old with type I myocardial infarction, who underwent a standard diagnostic algorithm in the first 48 hours and at the end of the third week of the disease. The patients were divided into two age-matched groups: with arterial hypertension (121 patients, 88 patients without arterial hypertension). A comparative analysis of the frequency of identifying the main and additional cardiovascular risk factors and their parameters were performed in the selected groups. Results. The study group showed more pronounced glycemia (5.6±1.4 mmol/l) than in the control group (5.2±1.3 mmol/l; p=0.04) at the end of the third week of myocardial infarction. In this group, there was a high incidence of obesity (42.1 and 25.0%, respectively; p=0.01), changes in peripheral arteries (86.0 and 3.5%; p<0.0001) and target organ damage , meteorological dependence (31.4 and 9.1%; p=0.0001), impaired peripheral hemodynamics, as well as hereditary burden of vascular pathology (100 and 56.8%; p=0.03). Conclusions. The data obtained suggest a worse long-term prognosis and a greater degree of resistance to treatment in men with arterial hypertension, which must be considered when implementing preventive programs.

Relevance. The cardiovascular risk factors structure features in myocardial infarction, complicated by urinary disorders, in young and middle-aged men have been insufficiently studied. Aim. To evaluate the cardiovascular risk factors structure features in men under 60 years old with myocardial infarction, complicated by urinary disorders, to improve prevention and outcomes. Material and methods. The study included men 19-60 years old with type I myocardial infarction. The patients were divided into two age-comparable groups: I - study group, with acute kidney injury - 15 patients; II - control, without it - 496 patients. A comparative analysis of the main and additional cardiovascular risk factors frequency, analysis of their influence on the risk of urinary disorders in myocardial infarction (ANOVA) were performed. Results. The study group differed from the control group in the greater frequency of coronary artery bypass surgery (in the study group: 31.8%; in the control group: 8.4%; p = 0.0002), pacing (9.1 and 0.5%; respectively); p < 0.0001), history of atrial fibrillation and/or flutter (27.3 and 9.2%; p = 0.005), chronic cerebrovascular insufficiency (77.3 and 51.3%; p = 0,02), alcohol abuse (63.6 and 25.2%; p < 0.0001), frequent (four or more per year) colds (27.3 and 12.6%; p = 0,04), cardiac arrhythmias and conduction disturbances in the onset of coronary artery disease (61.9 and 24.9%; p = 0.0007), smoking for 20 years or more (36.4 and 16.8%; p = 0.003) , chronic kidney disease (46.7 and 16.2%; p = 0.02), chronic foci of internal organs infections (77.3 and 39.4%; p = 0.002), urine (27.3 and 8.6%; p = 0.006) and gallstone diseases (13.6 and 5.4%; p = 0.006). These indicators were the markers of the urinary disorders development in myocardial infarction. Conclusions. Men under 60 years old with urinary disorders in myocardial infarction are characterized by smoking, metabolic disorders, chronic kidney disease, heart rhythm and conduction disorders, alcohol abuse, frequent colds and chronic foci of internal organ infections. The data listed above should be used in the formation of high-risk groups for the development of urinary disorders, as well as for prognostic modeling.

SummaryThere are limited and controversial data regarding the impact of factor XIII (FXIII) Val34Leu polymorphism in the pathogenesis of premature myocardial infarction (MI). We examined whether FXIII Val34Leu polymorphism is associated with the development of early MI.We recruited 159 consecutive patients who had survived their first acute MI under the age of 36 years (mean age=32.1 ± 3.6 years, 138 were men). The control group consisted of 121 healthy individuals matched with cases for age and sex, without a family history of premature coronary heart disease (CHD). FXIII Val34Leu polymorphism was tested with polymerase chain reaction and reverse hybridization. There was a lower prevalence of carriers of the Leu34 allele in patients than in controls (30.2 vs. 47.1%, p=0.006). FXIII Val34Leu polymorphism was associated with lower risk for acute MI after adjusting for major cardiovascular risk factors (odds ratio [OR] = 0.51, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.27–0.95, p=0.03). Subgroup analysis according to angiographic findings (“normal” coronary arteries [n=29] or significant CHD [n=130]) showed that only patients with MI and significant CHD had lower prevalence of carriers of the Leu34 allele compared to controls after adjusting for major cardiovascular risk factors (OR = 0.42, 95% CI 0.22–0.83, p=0.01). Our data indicate that FXIII Val34Leu polymorphism has a protective effect against the development of MI under the age of 36 years, particularly in the setting of significant CHD.

Relevance. The role of hemodynamic changes in myocardial infarction complicated by acute kidney injury is interpreted in different ways. Aim. To evaluate the heart chambers and structures peculiarities in men under 60 years old with myocardial infarction complicated by acute kidney injury to improve prevention and outcomes. Material and methods. The study included men 19-60 years old with type I myocardial infarction. The patients were divided into two age-comparable groups: I - study group, with acute kidney injury - 25 patients; II - control, without it - 366 patients. A comparative assessment of the heart chambers and structures parameters in the first 48 hours (1) and at the end of the third week of the disease (2), their dynamics, also acute kidney injury development risk analysis (ANOVA) were performed. Results. The study group differed from the control group in smaller sizes of the left atrium2 (38.1±6.0 and 42.0±5.4 (mm), respectively; p=0.01), a higher frequency of the middle anterior (100 and 15.6%; p=0.02) and antero-septal (100 and 17.7; p=0.04) segments akinesia and the absence (0 and 81.5%; p=0.04) of tricuspid regurgitation. In the study group, there was a smaller increase in the ventricles size than in the control group (left: 0.6 and 1.7%, respectively; right: 15.3 and 33.6%) and a greater decrease in the atria size, compared in the control group (left: -1.8 and -25.3%; right: -25.3 and -0.1%) (p<0.0001). The risk markers of the acute kidney injury developing were the dimensions of the left atrium1˂34 mm, interventricular septum≥12.0 mm, end systolic1≥4.23 and diastolic1≥5.3 of the left ventricle, right ventricle1˂2.6; of the right atrium1≥4.7 (cm), the mass of the left ventricle1≥328.8 g. Conclusions. Men under 60 years old with acute kidney injury in myocardial infarction are characterized by lesions of the middle anterior and antero-septal segments, the absence of tricuspid regurgitation, and a smaller left atrium in the subacute period of the disease. The above of the heart chambers dimensions values should be used in the high-risk groups for the acute kidney injury development formation, as well as for prognostic modeling.

Abstract Introduction Traditional risk factors for coronary heart disease have been reported in around 85% patients who present with myocardial infarction. More recently, inflammation and immune mediated diseases have been associated with ischemic heart disease. Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is an immune mediated disorder which comprises of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Estimated prevalence of IBD in the United States in 2004 was 1.4 million people. These patients have an overall increased risk of thrombotic complications with microvascular thrombosis hypothesized to contribute in disease pathogenesis. Results from a recent meta-analysis were consistent with increased risk of ischemic heart disease among IBD patients, with risk greater in females and younger patients, although heterogeneity was considerable in overall data. Also, in a recent study, IBD was found to be associated with an increased risk of acute myocardial infarction and heart failure despite lower prevalence of coronary risk factors in IBD patients. IBD pathogenesis involves sustained activation of immune responses with upregulation of cytokines including but not limited to IL-1 beta, IL-6 and TNF-alpha. Upregulation of these cytokines has also been reported in coronary atherosclerosis. Based on above information, we explored incidence of MACE (Major Adverse Cardiac Event) in this patient population from our health system data-base. Methods Propensity scores were estimated for all 15,292 (0.4%) patients with inflammatory bowel disease from a total patient pool of 3,917,894 patients in our health system to assemble a 1:1 matched cohort balanced for age, gender, race and known cardiovascular risk factors including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus and smoking (current and former). ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes were used to identify cardiovascular risk factors and outcomes. Results Matched patients (n=30,584) had a mean age of 51 years, with 58% of all being women, and 63% Caucasian. During the median follow up of 4.4 years all-cause mortality was observed in 1.7% and 1.2% of patients from IBD and non-IBD groups respectively (hazard ratio {HR}, 1.31; 95% confidence interval {CI}, 1.08–1.58; p=0.005). Combined outcome for myocardial infarction or all-cause mortality was noted in 4.1% and 3.4% from IBD and non-IBD groups respectively (HR, 1.16; 95% CI, 1.03–1.30; p=0.014) while HRs for cardiovascular mortality, myocardial infarction and unstable angina independently were 1.04 (0.74–1.47; p=0.833), 1.05 (0.89–1.23; p=0.591) and 1.10 (0.83–1.46; p=0.524) respectively. Conclusion Inflammatory bowel disease did not show association with myocardial infarction, cardiovascular mortality or unstable angina when matched for known cardiovascular risk factors, but was associated with increased all-cause mortality and combined end-point of all-cause mortality or myocardial infarction.

Background Regular physical activity should constitute the essence of treatment in patients with cardiovascular risk factors. We sought to determine the benefits of nurse-led intervention to promote physical activity in sedentary older adults in a primary care setting. Methods A group of 199 sedentary older adults (mean age 62.7±6.9, 34.2% male) with at least one more cardiovascular risk factor were randomized 1:1 to receive a nurse-led tutorial on lifestyle modification, including pedometer hand-out – with a daily goal of at least 7000 steps – and supporting phone calls (study group), or without a goal or calls (control group). Body weight (BW), resting heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP/DBP), total cholesterol (TC) and glucose were assessed at baseline and after 3 months. Results Subjects in the study group ( n = 86) achieved higher daily step count in comparison to the control group ( n = 78), 10,648±3098 vs. 3589±2000, p < 0.0001. The study group presented an improvement in all analysed parameters but glucose, including BW (−2.5±1.9 kg), SBP and DBP (−7.9±7.6 mmHg and −6.2±6.5 mmHg) and TC (−14.7±30.4 mg%), all p < 0.0001. In the control group, all parameters increased or remained unchanged. An inverse correlation between the daily step count and delta of the analysed parameters ( r = −0.26 to −0.72, p < 0.001) was found. Conclusion Nurse-led intervention with pedometer, goal setting and supporting phone calls is an effective way to promote physical activity in sedentary older adults and leads to improvement of cardiovascular risk factors within 3 months.
