RESUMO
Epidemiological evidence suggests that the incidence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) among people under 40 years of age has an increasing trend in recent years. Smoking, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, family history, and gender (male) are considered as classic risk factors for CHD, but the pathogenesis of CHD in young people is not exactly the same. Moreover, the relationship between the pattern of coronary artery disease and risk factors in young patients with acute myocardial infarction is inconclusive. In this study, we retrospectively studied the clinical data of 150 AMI patients treated in our hospital from January 2020 to May 2021. The patients were divided into the young group and elderly group according to the difference in age. The number of coronary artery lesions, the degree of coronary artery stenosis, the distribution dominance typing, the position of the lesions, and the presence of collateral circulation were observed and compared between the two groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the risk factors affecting coronary artery lesions in young patients with AMI. The results showed that the number of coronary lesions in young patients with AMI was mainly single-vessel, and the dominant type of distribution was mainly right dominant type. The stenosis degree is lighter than that of elderly patients, and the incidence of collateral circulation is lower than that of elderly patients, but the position of the lesions has no obvious regular. Smoking, staying up late, HDL-C, and LDL-C/ApoB were independent factors affecting the number of coronary artery lesions, and the changes of HDL-C and LDL-C/ApoB had an important influence on the degree of coronary stenosis in young patients. This provides a new idea for clinical treatment.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: Coronary artery perforation (CAP) is a rare, serious complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Many studies have addressed the incidence, risk factors, and management of CAP in different countries except China. The aim of this study is to determine the risk factors and types of treatment for coronary perforation occurring in patients undergoing PCI and living in the Cangzhou Chinese population. METHODS AND RESULTS: A retrospective cohort of 12,113 patients who underwent PCI was used: 64 patients with CAP and 192 case-control patients were evaluated. Clinical data and findings from coronary arteriography and PCI were analysed. Logistic regression was used to evaluate candidate risk factors for CAP. The treatments were also evaluated. The incidence of CAP in patients undergoing PCI was 0.53%, and the mortality was 7.8% (5/64). Risk factors included female gender, hypertension, non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS), right coronary artery (RCA) lesion, calcified lesion, and chronic total occlusion (CTO) (all P < 0.05, all OR > 1). CTO had the highest risk (OR = 5.077, P < 0.001). Patients with class I CAP underwent conservative treatment. Patients with class II CAP underwent conservative treatment or low-pressure balloon dilatation (61.1% and 22.2%, respectively). Patients with class III CAP underwent low-pressure balloon dilatation, coated-stent implantation, and emergency surgery (40.9%, 27.3%, and 22.7%, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: CAP risk factors in Cangzhou Chinese patients undergoing PCI included CTO, NSTE-ACS, hypertension, calcified and RCA lesions, and female gender. Different treatment methods should be used according to the different classes of CAP.
