Abstract

Background: Acute myocardial infarction (MI) is a life-threatening disease and surgical revascularization plays a major role in selected cases. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the left ventricular contractility improvement by examining the wall motion score index (WMSI) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients who under-went surgical revascularization under diagnosis of acute MI. Material and Method: From January, 2001 to December, 2004, 149 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass surgery within 2 weeks of acute MI were included. We evaluated pre- and postoperative left ventricular contractility by measuring WMSI and LVEF and examined the associating factors. Result: WMSI decreased from $1.54{\pm}4.30\;to\;1.43{\pm}0.40$ (p<0.001) and LVEF increased from $48.1{\pm}12.2%\;to\;49.7{\pm}12.3%$ after surgery (p=0.009). Off-pump technique, non-Q wave, anterior MI, and surgery within 7 days after MI were favorable factors for LVEF improvement (p=0.046, p=0.006, p=0.003, p=0.005, respectively). Conversely, aforementioned factors were irrelevant with WMSI improvement. For triple vessel disease, complete revascularization was favorable factor for WMSI improvement (p<0.001). Conclusion: Coronary artery by-pass surgery can improve WMSI and LVEF in patients with acute MI. In case of anterior MI with non-Q wave, early surgical revascularization within 7 days may be most beneficial in LVEF improvement. Regarding WMSI, complete revascularization may be essential.

배경: 급성 심근경색증은 치사율이 높은 질환으로 일부 환자들에 있어서 수술은 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 급성 심근 경색증 후 협심증으로 수술을 시행 받은 환자들에서 심근벽 운동지수와 좌심실 박출계수의 변화를 통하여 수술 후 좌심실 수축력 변화를 조사하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2001년 1월부터 2004년 12월까지 급성 심근 경색증을 진단 받고 2주 이내에 수술한 환자들을 대상으로 하였다. 수술 전과 수술 후의 심근벽 운동지수와 좌심실 박출계수를 비교하였으며 이에 관련된 인자들을 조사하였다. 결과: 심근벽 운동지수는 $1.54{\pm}4.30$에서 수술 후 $1.43{\pm}0.40$ (p<0.001)으로 감소되었고, 좌심실 박출계수는 $48.1{\pm}12.2%$에서 $49.7{\pm}12.3%$ (p=0.009)로 호전되었다. 무심폐기하 관상동맥수술, 비 Q파 경색, 전벽(anterior) 경색과 경색 후 7일 이내 수술한 경우는 좌심실 박출계수 호전에 관계된 인자였다(p=0.046, p=0.006, p=0.003, p=0.005). 반면에 상기 인자들은 심근벽 운동지수의 호전과는 관계가 없었다. 삼혈관질환을 가진 환자들을 대상으로 하였을 때, 완전 재관류는 심근벽 운동지수 향상에 영향을 미치는 요소였다(p<0.001). 결론: 급성 심근경색증 환자들에 있어서 관상동맥 우회술은 심근벽 운동지수와 좌심실 박출계수의 호전을 가져오며 이는 좌심실 수축기능 호전의 근거로 설명될 수 있다. 특히 비 Q파 전벽성(anterior) 경색인 경우 7일 이내의 조기 수술은 좌심실 박출계수를 호전시키는 데 도움을 줄 것으로 생각되며, 완전 재관류는 심근벽 운동지수의 향상에 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 생각된다.
