Abstract:
:To assess the effects of standard therapeutic interventions on the total ischemic burden, 86 patients with stable angina underwent 48 hours of ambulatory ST segment monitoring and treadmill exercise testing before and at a mean of 10 weeks after coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) (group 1, N = 46) or percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) (group 2, N = 40). There were 72 male and 14 female patients with a mean age of 56.4 years. All patients had documented coronary artery disease (24, single-vessel; 28, two-vessel; 34, three-vessel disease). Both groups were characteristically similar apart from more severe coronary artery disease (p less than 0.001) and more previous myocardial infarctions (p less than 0.05) in group 1. Groups with CABG and PTCA had significant prolongation of exercise time after intervention (group 1: 7.6 to 9.8 minutes, p less than 0.0001; group 2: 8.1 to 10.0 minutes, p less than 0.001), and both interventions led to a significant reduction in ischemic responses (group 1: 33 to 4, p less than 0.001; group 2: 20 to 13, p less than 0.05) to exercise. During a total of 7643 hours of ST segment monitoring, 253 episodes of ischemia were recorded in 3768 hours before and 44 ischemic episodes in 3875 hours after intervention (group 1, 113 episodes in 24 patients and 21 episodes in 10 patients; group 2, 140 episodes in 13 patients and 23 episodes in six patients). Both interventions reduced the mean frequency of ischemia per 24 hours (group 1: 1.24 to 0.22 episodes per 24 hours; p less than 0.01; group 2: 1.9 to 0.3 episodes per 24 hours; p less than 0.05). Almost 28% (N = 24) of resting electrocardiographic findings were altered as a result of intervention.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
