Abstract:
:A common data base of six coronary care units containing personal and clinical data of 17462 patients was used to investigate the relation between clinical symptoms of patients with acute myocardial infarction and size of infarction. In 1974 of the 5110 patients, in whom a final diagnosis of infarction was made, size of infarction was determined according to serially measured levels of serum alpha-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase. The episode of infarction was the first in 1396 patients, was recurrent in 497, and undetermined in 81 patients. We calculated the size factor (defined as the mean size of infarction of patients with a particular symptom divided by the mean size of infarction of patients without that symptom) to evaluate the role of the size of infarction to manifestation of certain clinical symptoms. Bradycardia, shock and right-sided failure when noted on admission to the coronary care unit, had factors for size of infarction significantly greater than 1.0 (1.15, 1.79 and 1.30, respectively) in patients suffering an initial infarction, but not significantly different from 1.0 in patients with recurrent infarction. The occurrence of primary and secondary ventricular tachycardia and/or fibrillation, left heart failure (Killip class II-IV), symptomatic supraventricular tachycardia, high-degree atrioventricular blocks, ruptures and death in the coronary care unit was associated with factors significantly greater than 1.0 in those patients having both initial and recurrent infarctions. The size of infarction as judged enzymatically was significantly larger in patients with anterior than inferior and lateral infarction. The size of infarctions without Q waves was judged to be generally 35% smaller than infarctions producing Q waves. It is concluded that the size of infarction determines the occurrence of several symptoms and complications diagnosed at admission or during stay in the coronary care unit.
