Objective
To identify the relationship between preoperative left ventricular dysfunction and perioperative risk factors in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
Methods
The clinical data of 192 patients who underwent CABG from November 2015 to October 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into three groups by preoperative left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in echocardiography: a serious left ventricular dysfunction group (LVEF≤35%, 23 patients, 15 males and 8 females at age of 63.91±5.36 years), a moderate left ventricular dysfunction group (35%<LVEF<50%, 24 patients, 20 males and 4 females at age of 66.29±6.03 years) and a normal left ventricular function group (LVEF≥50%, 145 patients, 86 males and 59 females at age of 66.60±6.41 years).
Results
The overall mortality was 4.16% (8/192), 17.39% (4/23) in patients with LVEF≤35% and 2.76% (4/145) in those with LVEF≥50%. Preoperative LVEF≤35%, hypoxia, assisted circulation, acute kidney injury (AKI) and postoperative continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) were risk factors of perioperative mortality in coronary artery surgery. LVEF≤35% and CRRT were independent preditors of mortality. There were significant differences in mortality and postoperative complications between the serious left ventricular dysfunction group and other two groups.
Conclusion
Postoperative mortality and complications are obviously serious in the patients with LVEF≤35%. We should pay more attention to preoperative risk factors. Postoperative individual manipulation, intra-aortic balloon pump and CRRT can enhance survival of those patients.
【摘要】 目的 探討2型糖尿病（T2DM）胰島素抵抗導致糖尿病性心功能不全的臨床表現特點及相關激素的改變。 方法 2008年1-4月對T2DM患者35例（胰島素抵抗指數HOMA-IRlt;2.69者19例為A1組，HOMA-IR≥2.69者16例為A2組）及健康體檢者20人B組測體重指數（BMI）、空腹血糖（FPG）、胰島素、心鈉素（ANP）、腦鈉素（BNP）水平；心臟彩色多普勒超聲分別測E/A、e/a、S/D、LVEF、DT期。 結果 A2組BMI較A1、B組均明顯增加（Plt;0.05），A1、B組間差異無統計學意義（Pgt;0.05）。ANP、BNP及DT值在A1、A2組均較B組增高（Plt;0.05），BNP在A2組高于A1組（Plt;0.05），ANP、DT值在A1、A2組間差異均無統計學意義（Pgt;0.05）。E/A、e/a和S/D在A1、A2組均較B組降低（Plt;0.05），A1、A2組間差異均無統計學意義（Pgt;0.05）。A2組患者LVEF較A1、B組均明顯降低（Plt;0.05），A1、B組間差異無統計學意義（Pgt;0.05）。 結論 隨著胰島素抵抗加重，心肌舒張順應性較差和收縮力下降，伴隨相關激素（心臟利鈉肽）分泌增加，最終產生心功能不全的臨床表現、體征及多普勒超聲心動圖表現。【Abstract】 Objective To investigate the clinical features and related hormone changes of diabetic cardiac insufficiency leaded by insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods From January to April 2008, 35 patients with T2DM (group A1: HOMA-IRlt;2.69, n=19; group A2: HOMA-IR≥ 2.69, n=16) and 20 subjects without T2DM (group B) were enrolled. The body mass index (BMI), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), insulin (FINS), atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and E/A, e/a, S/D, LVEF and DT stage of all subjects were detected. Results The BMI in group A2 was higher than those in group A1 and group B (Plt;0.05), while the difference between the later two groups was not statistically significant (Pgt;0.05). The ANP, BNP and DT stage were all higher than those in group B (Plt;0.05), the BNP was higher in group A2 than in group A1 (Plt;0.05), while the difference of neither ANP nor DT stage between the later two groups was statistically significant (Pgt;0.05). The values of E/A, e/a and S/D in group A1 and A2 were all lower than those in group B (Plt;0.05), while there were no statistically significant diferences between group A1 and A2 (Pgt;0.05). The values of LVEF of group A1 and A2 were both significantly reduced than that in group B (Plt;0.05), and the values in group A2 were the lowest (Plt;0.05). Conclusion With the aggravating of insulin resistance, myocardial contractility and diastolic function will decline, meanwhile the ANP and BNP secretion will increase, and then the clinical and echocardiographic manifestation will appear.
Objective To investigate the perioperative changes of serum brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) concentrations in patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement. Methods There were 20 patients admitted to the study, the serum BNP concentrations were measured before cardiac surgery, 24 hours, 7days, 14 days, and 30 days after operation. The preoperative NYHA cardiac function and the left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) were measured by echocardiogram. Results The preoperative BNP level was the baseline, it elevated markedly and acutely to a peak value 24 hours after operation ( P =0.003), then the BNP decreased 7 days later, but was still higher than the concentration before operation ( P =0.015), 14 days later it reached to the concentration before operation, 30 days later it was mild lower than preoperative BNP level, but there was no significant difference. There was a positive correlation between NYHA and BNP ( r =0.69, P lt;0.05), but no correlation between LVEF and BNP( r =0.29, P gt;0 05). Conclusion The preoperative serum BNP concentration can reflect the preoperative cardiac function in patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement, the high BNP level indicates the poor cardiac function. The BNP sharply elevated in the early time after operation, then gradually decreased in the late phase postoperation.
Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) transplantation on cardiac function and their proliferation and differentiation in the post-infarct myocardium in rabbits. Methods Twenty New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into two groups, the autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells group (MSCs group,n=10) and control group (n=10). Myocardial infarct model was set up by ligation of the left anterior descending (LAD), two weeks after establishment of the infarct model,either 400μl of cell suspension (total cells 1×106) labled by 1,1’-dioctadecyl3,3,3’,3’-tetramethyl indocarbocyanine perchlorate (Dil) or a comparable volume of L-DMEM medium were autologously transplanted into several different points of the periphery of the scar respectively. To evaluate the heart function, echocardiography were performed before modeling,two weeks after modeling, 2 and 4 weeks after the cells transplantation for asurements of left ventricular end systolic diameter (LVESD) and left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD), tocalculate left ventricular eject fraction(LVEF) and left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS). Meanwhile the myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) were performed for evaluating the blood perfusion of the post-infarct myocardium. Eight weeks after the transplantation, the animalswere undergoing euthanasia, specimens were acquired for pathology. Results Echocardiography indicated that:The LVEF and LVFS between two groups were fundamentally the same before modeling,two weeks after modeling respectively (0.72±0.08 vs. 0.71±0.04,0.56±0.11 vs. 0.55±0.09; 0.35±0.06 vs. 0.35±0.04, 0.24±0.08 vs. 0.23±0.03, Pgt;0.05), but those were improved significantly in group MSCs when compared with control group at two weeks and four weeks after the cells transplantation(0.71±0.05 vs. 0.60±0.05，0.72±0.07 vs. 0.62±0.08 and 0.34±0.03 vs. 0.29±0.01， 0.35±0.06 vs. 0.27±0.05 respectively,Plt;0.05). There were no differences in LVESD and LVEDD between two groups in any time points(Pgt;0.05). MCE showed the blood perfusion of the infarct myocardium were improved two and four weeks after the cell transplantation. Pathology indicated that Dil positive cells were survived in MSCs transplanted hearts, stained positively for αsarcomeric actin and desmin eight weeks after cell transplantation, HE slides indicated that the capillary density in all the cells transplanted hearts were much higher when compared with control group (38.6±7.6/mm2 vs. 21.4±3.9/mm2，Plt;0.05). ConclusionMSCs can differentiate into cardiomyocytes, improve myocardial perfusion and cardiac function when transplanted into ischemic myocardium.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the effect of compound Danshen dripping pills combined with Western medicine on inflammatory factors and cardiac function after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute myocardial infarction.MethodsDatabases including CNKI, WanFang Data, VIP, CBM, PubMed, Web of Science, EMbase and The Cochrane Library were searched for randomized controlled trials of compound Danshen dripping pills combined with Western medicine in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction after PCI. The retrieval time was from the establishment of the databases to June 11th, 2020. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and evaluated the risk bias of included studies. RevMan 5.3 software was used for meta-analysis.ResultsA total of 16 studies were included, involving 2 069 patients. The results of the meta-analysis showed that the combination of compound Danshen dripping pills could increase the left ventricular ejection fraction (MD =?4.74, 95%CI 4.07 to 5.42, P<0.01), decrease the B-type natriuretic peptide (SMD=?3.81, 95%CI ?5.06 to ?2.57, P<0.01), the level of interleukin-6 (SMD=?3.20, 95%CI ?4.54 to ?1.86, P<0.01) and level of tumor necrosis factor-a (SMD=?4.96, 95%CI ?7.03 to ?2.89, P<0.01).ConclusionsCurrent evidence suggests that the combination of compound Danshen dropping pills has potential benefits in inhibiting inflammation and improving cardiac function after PCI. Due to the limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high-quality studies are required to verify the above conclusions.
ObjectiveTo analyze long-term outcomes of aortic valve replacement (AVR) for patients with severe aortic regurgitation (AR) and left ventricular dysfunction (LVD).
MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed clinical data of 44 patients with severe AR and LVD who received AVR in Drum Tower Hospital from January 2002 to December 2012. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of all the patients was lower than 35%. There were 29 male and 15 female patients with their age of 23-78 (44±6) years and LVEF of 22%-34% (29%±3%).
ResultsTwo patients died because of heart failure postoperatively. Cardiopulmonary bypass time was 57-92 (73±8) minutes, aortic cross-clamping time was 33-61 (48±6)minutes, and length of ICU stay was 2-15 (8±3) days. All the patients were followed up for 1-11 (4.3±2.9) years. Two patients died during follow-up because of heart failure and stroke respectively. One-year survival rate was 93% and five-year survival rate was 91%.
ConclusionAVR can significantly increase long-time survival of patients with severe AR and LVD.
