A subgroup of patients presenting with suspected ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) have no culprit lesion during coronary angiography (false-positive STEMI). Little is known about patient- and system-related factors that are associated with false-positive STEMI. We evaluated the incidence, correlates, delay, final diagnosis, and outcome of patients with false-positive STEMI.
We studied 827 consecutive patients presenting with suspected STEMI between January 2011-September 2012.
A false positive STEMI activation was identified in 68 patients (8.2%). Patients with false-positive STEMI were younger (57 vs 63 year; p=0.020), less often had hypercholesterolemia (19 vs 43%; p=0.001), and had a higher heart rate (82 vs 75 bpm; p=0.014). The association between these factors and false-positive STEMI activation persisted in multivariate analysis. The duration of symptoms to call was longer in false-positive STEMI patients (128 vs 83 min; p=0.030), although this did not reach statistical significance in multivariate analysis. Final diagnosis in patients with false-positive STEMI activation was particularly from unknown origin (41%). There were no significant differences in mortality at 30 days and one year between patients with STEMI and false-positive STEMI.
The incidence of false-positive STEMI was 8.2% in patients suspected of STEMI. Patients with false-positive STEMI differ from STEMI patients in certain baseline characteristics and in patient delay. Interestingly, absence of coronary disease did not translate into better clinical outcome.
一部分表现为疑似ST段抬高型心肌梗死(STEMI)的患者在冠状动脉造影时没有罪犯病变(假阳性STEMI)。关于与假阳性STEMI相关的患者及系统因素知之甚少。我们评估了假阳性STEMI患者的发生率、相关因素、延迟情况、最终诊断及预后。
我们研究了2011年1月至2012年9月期间连续就诊的827例疑似STEMI患者。
68例患者(8.2%)被确定为假阳性STEMI激活。假阳性STEMI患者更年轻(57岁对63岁;p=0.020),高胆固醇血症的发生率更低(19%对43%;p=0.001),心率更高(82次/分对75次/分;p=0.014)。在多变量分析中,这些因素与假阳性STEMI激活之间的关联仍然存在。假阳性STEMI患者从症状出现到呼叫的时间更长(128分钟对83分钟;p=0.030),尽管在多变量分析中这未达到统计学意义。假阳性STEMI激活患者的最终诊断尤其多为病因不明(41%)。STEMI患者与假阳性STEMI患者在30天和1年时的死亡率没有显著差异。
疑似STEMI患者中假阳性STEMI的发生率为8.2%。假阳性STEMI患者在某些基线特征和患者延迟方面与STEMI患者不同。有趣的是,无冠状动脉疾病并未转化为更好的临床结局。
