Early resolution of ST-segment deviation (ST recovery) on the postthrombolytic electrocardiograms and restoration of "normal" blood flow in the infarct-related artery are associated with improved outcomes after myocardial infarction (MI).
To evaluate the relationships between ST recovery, infarct-related artery flow, and late survival we studied 766 patients with electrocardiograms recorded at a median of 167 minutes after thrombolytic therapy. Angiography was performed at 3 weeks, and follow-up was done at a median of 6.3 years (interquartile range [IQR] 5.0-8.4). At 10 years, the survival rates were 55% (95% CI 43-70) in patients with <30% ST recovery in the single lead with maximum ST elevation, 71% (95% CI 64-79) in those with 30% to 70% ST recovery, and 74% (95% CI 68-82) in those with >70% ST recovery (P =.0005), whereas ST recovery measured as the sum of voltage changes of either ST deviation (elevation or depression) or ST elevation was not associated with 10-year survival (log-rank test, P =.06 and P =.34, respectively). In patients with Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) grade 3 flow, ST recovery of >70% (vs <30% and 30% to 70%) in the lead with maximum ST elevation was associated with increased late survival (P =.04). On multivariate analysis, the predictors, at admission, of 5-year survival were age (P <.001), ST recovery (measured as a continuous variable, P =.001), diabetes (P =.003) and female gender (P =.02). When the ejection fraction (P =.003) and TIMI flow grade (P =.02) at 3 weeks were included in the analysis, the P value for ST recovery was.08.
ST recovery measured in the single lead with maximum ST elevation was a predictor of late survival, even in patients with TIMI grade 3 flow but ST recovery measured as the sum of voltage changes in all leads with ST deviation was not. This simple electrocardiographic parameter can identify patients with a reduced chance of survival who might benefit from additional therapies.
溶栓后心电图上ST段偏移的早期恢复(ST段回落)以及梗死相关动脉“正常”血流的恢复与心肌梗死(MI)后改善的预后相关。
为了评估ST段回落、梗死相关动脉血流和晚期生存率之间的关系,我们研究了766例患者,这些患者在溶栓治疗后中位数167分钟记录了心电图。在3周时进行血管造影,并在中位数6.3年(四分位间距[IQR]5.0 - 8.4)进行随访。在10年时,ST段抬高最大值所在单导联ST段回落<30%的患者生存率为55%(95%可信区间43 - 70),ST段回落30%至70%的患者生存率为71%(95%可信区间64 - 79),ST段回落>70%的患者生存率为74%(95%可信区间68 - 82)(P = 0.0005),而以ST段偏移(抬高或压低)或ST段抬高的电压变化总和来衡量的ST段回落与10年生存率无关(对数秩检验,P分别为0.06和0.34)。在心肌梗死溶栓治疗(TIMI)血流3级的患者中,ST段抬高最大值所在导联ST段回落>70%(对比<30%和30%至70%)与晚期生存率增加相关(P = 0.04)。多因素分析显示,入院时5年生存率的预测因素为年龄(P < 0.001)、ST段回落(作为连续变量测量,P = 0.001)、糖尿病(P = 0.003)和女性(P = 0.02)。当将3周时的射血分数(P = 0.003)和TIMI血流分级(P = 0.02)纳入分析时,ST段回落的P值为0.08。
以ST段抬高最大值所在单导联测量的ST段回落是晚期生存率的预测因素,即使在TIMI血流3级的患者中也是如此,但以所有ST段偏移导联电压变化总和测量的ST段回落则不是。这个简单的心电图参数可以识别出生存机会降低且可能从额外治疗中获益的患者。
