Abstract

This study was performed to determine the prognostic value of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and ferritin compromised in left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) patients who suffered acute myocardial infarction (AMI) beforehand.A hospital-based case-control study was conducted in the Department of Cardiology, First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University in 2013 and 2014. Patients were divided into 3 groups according to kidney function and ferritin level. Observation outcomes include age, sex, C-reaction protein (CRP), medical history including major risk factors for CAD, ferritin and GFR, previous angina, time between MI and coronary angiography or time to rescue (TTR), and prior treatment.Around 60 patients were included in the case group (AMI with LVA) and 133 matched patients (AMI without LVA) in the control group. The prevalence of single-vessel disease (odd ratio [OR] = 2.490; 95% confidential interval [95% CI] = 1.376-4.506; P = .002), total LAD occlusion (OR = 1.897; 95% CI = 1.024-3.515; P = .041), absence of previous angina (OR = 1.930; 95% CI = 1.035-3.600; P = .037), time between myocardial infraction (MI) and coronary angiography more than 12 h (OR = 1.970; 95% CI = 1.044-3.719; P = .035), GFR less than 60 mL/min (OR = ...Continue Reading

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.
