Chronic Problem

The pattern of cardiac admissions to a rural district general hospital has been analysed. Coronary artery disease is the major disorder, both as an acute and chronic problem. Other forms of heart disease are relatively uncommon. The absence of hypertension and hypertensive heart disease is striking. The deaths were mainly related to coronary artery disease.

Abstract Background -The readmission reasons for senile patients hospitalized in different wards with acute decompensated heart failure are not well known. Method -We conducted a retrospective study of senile patients admitted to the People’s Hospital of Sichuan Province in a one-year period. Patients suffered with heart failure were identified from the hospital administrative database. Chart reviews were carried out to explore 30-day readmission reasons. Descriptive statistics were utilized to compare the patients and hospital characteristics among different wards. Student’s t-test was used for normally distributed continuous variables, chi-square for categorical variables. Results -Of all the hospitalization cases (3922), 1316 patients with heart failure were rehospitalized, among which 893 were admitted to geriatric department. The readmission rate was 33.55%. The top 10 reasons for rehospitalization in geriatric department were AECOPD (18.5%), hypertension (15.5%), hypertensive heart disease (13.3%),pneumonia (10.5%), coronary artery disease(7.0%), acute coronary syndrome(11.3%),
dementia (6.8%), PAD (3.25%), stroke (2.2%), cancer/valvular heart disease (1.4%).The top 10 reasons in other departments were stroke (32.5%), AECOPD (10.7%), pneumonia (10.0%), coronary artery disease(6.8%),CKD (5.9%), cancer(5.7%), hypertensive heart disease (4.8%), dementia (4.6%), valvular heart disease (3.3%), DCM (2.6%). Geriatric department tended to receive more senile patients than other wards, and had longer days of hospitalization(24.38±5.228 vs15.65±5.907), however, the cost among different wards was of no difference (31345.53±1343.354 vs 30868.49±2241.292). In terms of discharge disposition, 98.95% patients in geriatric department were discharged straight to home, ‘which was statistically higher than that of other wards (86.68%). Conclusion -This study shows the prevailing reasons for readmission of senile patients hospitalized with acute decompensated heart failure. Long term or short term care is summoned in China.

Artery Disease

: Subjects affected by ischemic heart disease with non-obstructive coronary arteries constitute a population that has received increasing attention over the past two decades. Since the first studies with coronary angiography, female patients have been reported to have non-obstructive coronary artery disease more frequently than their male counterparts, both in stable and acute clinical settings. Although traditionally considered a relatively infrequent and low-risk form of myocardial ischemia, its impact on clinical practice is undeniable, especially when it comes to infarction, where the prognosis is not as benign as previously assumed. Unfortunately, despite increasing awareness, there are still several questions left unanswered regarding diagnosis, risk stratification and treatment. The purpose of this review is to provide a state of the art and an update on current evidence available on gender differences in clinical characteristics, management and prognosis of ischemic heart disease with non-obstructive coronary arteries, both in the acute and stable clinical setting.

Artery Disease

Cardiovascular diseases caused by atherosclerosis (coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular pathology, etc.) are responsible for 40-50% of all deaths in adults. Of particular concern to clinicians is the emerging unfavorable tendency to "rejuvenate" these diseases. Currently, the fact that atherosclerosis (AS) begins to form in childhood and adolescence is indisputable.

The exercise ECG test is traditionally the first choice in patients with suspected CHD, as the most accessible, despite the fact that its sensitivity and specificity are 68 % and 77 %, respectively. Description of a clinical case of multivessel coronary artery disease in a patient with a negative result of exercise ECG test is presented.
