Abstract

In order to evaluate the prognosis of medically treated patients with angiographically defined left ventricular aneurysm the data available from 1,136 patients with aneurysm (7.6 percent) from 15,019 patients with coronary artery disease in the Coronary Artery Surgery Study (CASS) registry were analyzed. Prior myocardial infarction, reduced ejection fraction, absence of angina and evidence of congestive heart failure were more commonly present in patients with aneurysm. The cumulative survival rates of medically treated patients at 1, 2, 3 and 4 years were 90, 84, 79 and 71 percent, respectively. The Cox analysis of survival indicated that the following variables predicted outcome: age, residual left ventricular function as assessed with angiography, left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, functional impairment due to congestive heart failure, number of vessels diseased, mitral regurgitation and S3 gallop. When survival was stratified for similar degrees of left ventricular dysfunction and functional impairment there was no difference between the survival of patients with aneurysm and that of registry patients without aneurysm. The data from this large population study indicate that the survival of patients with left ventricul...Continue Reading

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.

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.

Aneurysm

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