Background: Inferior myocardial infarction (MI) with right ventricular (RV) involvement will increase mortality and morbidity. Data of systolic and diastolic RV function in inferior ST-segment elevation MI (STEMI) are useful to predict the RV involvement.  Aims: To evaluate the prognostic and diagnostic significance of RV systolic and diastolic function compared to RVMI diagnostic criteria by electrocardiography in inferior MI patients.Methods: Consecutive patients with first, acute, inferior STEMI were prospectively assessed. The RVMI was defined as an ST-segment elevation ≥ 0.1 mV in lead V4R. Echocardiography was performed within 24 hours of the inferior STEMI symptoms. We assessed the RVMI diagnostic criteria in inferior MI patients using echocardiography.Results: Out of 31 patients (mean age 56.39 ± 9.02 years), RVMI by electrocardiography and echocardiography was found in 18 (37%). Moreover, multivariate analysis showed that two variables — RV systolic and diastolic function, were independent predictors of RVMI in inferior MI patients. Sensitivity and specificity of the RV systolic function were 94.4% and 69.2%, respectively, while RV diastolic functions were 44% and 76.9%, respectively.Conclusion: RV systolic function predict RVMI with relatively high sensitivity and specificity. RV diastolic function predicts RVMI with relatively low sensitivity but with high specificity.

Aims To investigate the different risk factors among different subtypes of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods A total of 296 patients who had ACS were retrospectively enrolled. Blood and echocardiographic indices were assessed within 24 hours after admission. Differences in risk factors and Gensini scores of coronary lesions among three groups were analyzed. Results Univariate analysis of risk factors for ACS subtypes showed that age, and levels of fasting plasma glucose, amino-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, and creatine kinase isoenzyme were significantly higher in patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) than in those with unstable angina pectoris (UAP). Logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that amino-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide and the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were related to ACS subtypes. The left ventricular end-diastolic diameter was an independent risk factor for UAP and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) subtypes. The severity of coronary stenosis was significantly higher in NSTEMI and STEMI than in UAP. Gensini scores in the STEMI group were positively correlated with D-dimer levels (r = 0.429) and negatively correlated with the LVEF (r = −0.602). Conclusion Different subtypes of ACS have different risk factors. Our findings may have important guiding significance for ACS subtype risk assessment and clinical treatment.

Abstract Background Left ventricular negative remodelling after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is considered as the major cause for the poor prognosis. But the predisposing factors and potential mechanisms of left ventricular negative remodelling after STEMI remain not fully understood. The present research mainly assessed the association between the stress hyperglycaemia ratio (SHR) and left ventricular negative remodelling. Methods We recruited 127 first-time, anterior, and acute STEMI patients in the present study. All enrolled patients were divided into 2 subgroups equally according to the median value of SHR level (1.191). Echocardiography was conducted within 24 h after admission and 6 months post-STEMI to measure left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), and left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD). Changes in echocardiography parameters (δLVEF, δLVEDD, δLVESD) were calculated as LVEF, LVEDD, and LVESD at 6 months after infarction minus baseline LVEF, LVEDD and LVESD, respectively. Results In the present study, the mean SHR was 1.22 ± 0.25 and there was significant difference in SHR between the 2 subgroups (1.05 (0.95, 1.11) vs 1.39 (1.28, 1.50), p < 0.0001). The global LVEF at 6 months post-STEMI was significantly higher in the low SHR group than the high SHR group (59.37 ± 7.33 vs 54.03 ± 9.64, p  = 0.001). Additionally, the global LVEDD (49.84 ± 5.10 vs 51.81 ± 5.60, p  = 0.040) and LVESD (33.27 ± 5.03 vs 35.38 ± 6.05, p  = 0.035) at 6 months after STEMI were lower in the low SHR group. Most importantly, after adjusting through multivariable linear regression analysis, SHR remained associated with δLVEF (beta = −9.825, 95% CI −15.168 to −4.481, p  < 0.0001), δLVEDD (beta = 4.879, 95% CI 1.725 to 8.069, p  = 0.003), and δLVESD (beta = 5.079, 95% CI 1.421 to 8.738, p  = 0.007). Conclusions In the present research, we demonstrated for the first time that SHR is significantly correlated with left ventricular negative remodelling after STEMI.

Abstract Objective To investigate the correlation between Procollagen I C-Terminal Propeptide (PICP), Procollagen III N-Terminal Propeptide (PIIINP), indices of echocardiography and anamnestic data in patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and preserved myocardial contractility. Materials and methods 60 men and 23 women diagnosed with STEMI were examined. Echocardiographic studies were performed using SONOS 2500 Cardiac – Vascular Ultrasound (Hewlett Packard, USA). Myocardial contractility was considered to be preserved with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥50%. In addition to standard indices of echocardiography, mitral flow propagation velocity (FPV) was evaluated to diagnose diastolic dysfunction. Coronary angiography was performed using INNOVA 3100 Cardiovascular Imaging System (USA). All patients, during the first twelve hours of the disease, underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stenting of the occluded culprit infarct-related artery. On the 1st and 12th days of hospitalization, the concentrations of PICP and PIIINP were determined for all patients by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using laboratory BCM Diagnostics kits (USA). All patients at the hospital received standard therapy. Results The following marker values were obtained: 1st day: PICP 609 (583; 635) ng/ml, PIIINP 26 (18.9; 34.9) ng/ml; 12th day: PICP 588 (580; 561) ng/ml, PIIINP 24.2 (18.6; 30.3) ng/ml. The following significant correlations were revealed: PICP 1st day / isovolumic contraction time – IVCT (m/s) 12th day, r=−0.68, p=0.042; PICP 1st day / Tei Index 12th day, r=−0.72, p=0.028; PICP 1st day / diastolic rigidity 12th day, r=−0.74, p=0.021; PIIINP 1st day/age, r=0.55, p=0.016; PIIINP 1st day/ body mass index (BMI), r=−0.59, p=0.009; PIIINP 1st day / E (cm/s) 1st day, r=0.72, p=0.018; PIIINP 1st day / Em /FPV 1st day, r=0.78, p=0.007; PIIINP 12th day / Em / FPV 1st day, r=0.65, p=0.041; PIIINP 12th day / E (cm/s) 1st day, r=0.67, p=0.033; PIIINP 12th day / E / Em) 12th day, r=0.70, p=0.023; PIIINP 12th day / Em/FPV 12th day, r=0.73, p=0.014. Conclusions The data obtained indicates the correlation between serum markers of myocardial fibrosis and the indices of echocardiography, as well as age. We conclude that, all the markers listed above, are able to represent myocardial remodeling in patients with STEMI. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None
