It is still unknown whether impaired myocardial perfusion helps to explain the higher mortality observed with ageing in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with primary angioplasty.
In 1548 consecutive patients with STEMI treated with primary angioplasty, myocardial perfusion was evaluated by myocardial blush grade (MBG) and ST-segment resolution. All clinical and follow-up data were prospectively collected. Advanced age was associated with a significantly higher clinical and angiographic risk profile. We found a linear relationship between increasing age, decreased myocardial perfusion, and higher 1-year mortality. After adjustment for baseline potential confounding variables, increased age was still significantly associated with impaired myocardial blush (MBG 0-1) (P=0.028), and ST-segment resolution (<50%) (P=0.007). At multivariable analysis both age (P<0.0001) and poor myocardial perfusion (P<0.0001) were independent predictors of 1-year mortality.
This study shows that impaired reperfusion is an additional determinant of the poor outcome observed with advanced age in patients with STEMI undergoing mechanical revascularization.
对于接受直接血管成形术治疗的ST段抬高型心肌梗死(STEMI)患者,心肌灌注受损是否有助于解释随着年龄增长所观察到的较高死亡率,目前仍不清楚。
在1548例接受直接血管成形术治疗的连续性STEMI患者中,通过心肌 blush 分级(MBG)和ST段回落情况评估心肌灌注。所有临床和随访数据均前瞻性收集。高龄与显著更高的临床和血管造影风险特征相关。我们发现年龄增加、心肌灌注降低与1年死亡率升高之间存在线性关系。在对基线潜在混杂变量进行校正后,年龄增加仍与心肌 blush 受损(MBG 0 - 1)(P = 0.028)和ST段回落(<50%)(P = 0.007)显著相关。在多变量分析中,年龄(P < 0.0001)和心肌灌注不良(P < 0.0001)均为1年死亡率的独立预测因素。
本研究表明,再灌注受损是接受机械血运重建的STEMI患者高龄时不良预后的一个额外决定因素。
