Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The relation of central haemodynamic changes to subsequent mortality and peak enzyme activity was investigated in 190 patients with acute myocardial infarction. The mean delay time from onset of symptoms to the haemodynamic study was 7.2 hours. Major exclusion criteria were heart rate less than 65 beats min-1, systolic blood pressure less than 105 mmHg and lung rales to a distance of greater than 10 cm above the lung bases. Nine patients (4.7%) died within 15 days and 16 patients (8.4%) within 90 days after the infarction. Compared to survivors, non-survivors were characterized by baseline depression of cardiac index, stroke volume index and left ventricular stroke work index, while pulmonary capillary wedge pressure and peripheral resistance were increased. However, a wide overlap between survivors and non-survivors makes the predictive value low in the individual patient. Peak serum aspartate aminotransferase (S-ASAT) activity was weakly related to baseline pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (r = 0.28; P less than 0.001) and stroke volume index (r = -0.22; P less than 0.01). The correlation to pulmonary capillary wedge pressure was only found in anterior (r = 0.34) infarcts. Peak serum lactate dehydrogenase (LD1) was not correlated with baseline haemodynamics.
