To describe predictors of myocardial infarction prior to hospital admission in women and men among patients with a suspected acute coronary syndrome without ST-elevation.
Prospective observational study in Stockholm and Göteborg, Sweden.
Of 433 patients who did fulfill the inclusion criteria 45% were women. Fewer women (17%) than men (26%) developed acute myocardial infarction (AMI) (p=0.054), particularly among patients with initial ST-depression, in whom AMI was developed in 22% of women and 54% of men (p = 0.001). Predictors for infarct development in women were: a history of AMI and advanced age. Among men they were: initial ST-depression or a Q-wave on ECG and elevation of biochemical markers (both recorded on admission of the ambulance crew). There was a significant interaction between gender and the influence of ST-depression on the risk for development of myocardial infarction (p < 0.05).
Among patients transported with ambulance due to a suspected acute coronary syndrome and no ST-elevation fewer women than men seem to develop AMI particularly among patients with ST-depression. These results suggest that early prediction of myocardial infarction might differ between women and men with acute chest pain.
描述疑似急性冠状动脉综合征且无ST段抬高的患者中,女性和男性入院前心肌梗死的预测因素。
在瑞典斯德哥尔摩和哥德堡进行的前瞻性观察性研究。
在433例符合纳入标准的患者中,45%为女性。发生急性心肌梗死(AMI)的女性(17%)少于男性(26%)(p=0.054),尤其是在初始ST段压低的患者中,22%的女性和54%的男性发生了AMI(p = 0.001)。女性发生梗死的预测因素为:AMI病史和高龄。男性的预测因素为:初始ST段压低或心电图上出现Q波以及生化标志物升高(均在救护人员入院时记录)。性别与ST段压低对心肌梗死发生风险的影响之间存在显著交互作用(p < 0.05)。
在因疑似急性冠状动脉综合征且无ST段抬高而用救护车转运的患者中,发生AMI的女性似乎少于男性,尤其是在ST段压低的患者中。这些结果表明,急性胸痛的女性和男性对心肌梗死的早期预测可能有所不同。
