Non-invasive diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) associated with significant left main stem (LMS) stenosis remains challenging.
Consecutive patients presenting with acute ischaemic-type chest pain from 2000 to 2010 were analysed. Entry criteria: 12-lead ECG and Body Surface Potential Map (BSPM) at presentation, cardiac troponin T (cTnT) ≥12 h and coronary angiography during admission. cTnT ≥0.03 µg/l defined AMI. ECG abnormalities assessed: STEMI by Minnesota criteria; ST elevation (STE) aVR ≥0.5 mm; ST depression (STD) ≥0.5 mm in ≥2 contiguous leads (CL); T-wave inversion (TWI) ≥1 mm in ≥2 CL. BSPM STE was ≥2 mm in anterior, ≥1 mm in lateral, inferior, right ventricular or high right anterior and ≥0.5 mm in posterior territories. Significant LMS stenosis was ≥70%.
Enrolled were 2810 patients (aged 60 ± 12 years; 71% male). Of these, 116 (4.1%) had significant LMS stenosis with AMI occurring in 92 (79%). STEMI by Minnesota criteria occurred in 13 (11%) (sensitivity 12%, specificity 92%), STE in lead aVR in 23 (20%) (sensitivity 23%, specificity 92%), TWI in 38 (33%) (sensitivity 34%, specificity 71%) and STD in 51 (44%) (sensitivity 49%, specificity 75%). BSPM STE occurred in 85 (73%): sensitivity 88%, specificity 83%, positive predictive value 95% and negative predictive value 65%. Of those with AMI, 74% had STE in either the high right anterior or right ventricular territories not identified by the 12-lead ECG. C-Statistic for AMI diagnosis using BSPM STE was 0.800 (P < 0.001).
In patients with significant LMS stenosis presenting with chest pain, BSPM STE has improved sensitivity (88%), with specificity 83%, over 12-lead ECG in the diagnosis of AMI.
对于伴严重左主干(LMS)狭窄的急性心肌梗死(AMI)的非侵入性诊断仍然具有挑战性。
对 2000 年至 2010 年期间因急性缺血性胸痛就诊的连续患者进行了分析。入选标准:入院时进行 12 导联心电图和体表电位图(BSPM)检查,心肌肌钙蛋白 T(cTnT)>12 小时,且入院期间行冠状动脉造影。cTnT≥0.03μg/l 定义为 AMI。评估心电图异常:Minnesota 标准的 ST 段抬高型心肌梗死(STEMI);ST 段抬高(STE)aVR≥0.5mm;至少 2 个连续导联(CL)的 ST 段压低(STD)≥0.5mm;至少 2 个 CL 的 T 波倒置(TWI)≥1mm。BSPM STE 在前壁≥2mm,侧壁、下壁、右心室或高位前侧壁≥1mm,后壁≥0.5mm。严重的 LMS 狭窄定义为≥70%。
共纳入 2810 例患者(年龄 60±12 岁;71%为男性)。其中,116 例(4.1%)有严重的 LMS 狭窄,92 例(79%)伴 AMI。Minnesota 标准的 STEMI 发生率为 13 例(11%)(敏感性 12%,特异性 92%),aVR 导联的 STE 发生率为 23 例(20%)(敏感性 23%,特异性 92%),TWI 的发生率为 38 例(33%)(敏感性 34%,特异性 71%),51 例(44%)有 STD(敏感性 49%,特异性 75%)。BSPM STE 阳性 85 例(73%):敏感性 88%,特异性 83%,阳性预测值 95%,阴性预测值 65%。AMI 患者中,74%的患者存在高右前壁或右心室区域的 STE,12 导联心电图无法识别。BSPM STE 用于诊断 AMI 的 C 统计量为 0.800(P<0.001)。
对于伴严重 LMS 狭窄且胸痛的患者,BSPM STE 在诊断 AMI 方面的敏感性(88%)优于 12 导联心电图(特异性 83%)。
