27세 남자 환자가 오토바이 사고로 인한 급성전벽 심근경색증으로 내원하였다. 흉부에 손상의 흔적은 없었으며 심초음파검사상 전벽의 이상운동증과 미미한 심낭삼출액이 보였다. 관상동맥조영술상 좌전하행지 근위부에 박리가 있었고, 좌심실조영술상 심첨부에 좌심실류 및 혈전이 관찰되어 관상동맥우회술을 시행하였다.

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.

61세 남자 환자가 급성 흉통을 주소로 전원 되었으며, 심전도상 ST분절 상승 소견 및 흉통으로 급성 심근 경색 진단 하에 심혈관 조영술을 시행하였다. 좌회선동맥 둔각변연분지의 완전 폐색 소견 보여 대동맥 내 풍선장치 삽입 하에 혈관 중재술을 시행하였으나, 성공적인 혈관 중재술 후에도, 쇼크 지속되어 체외막 산소화 장치를 삽입하였다. 그러나, 이후에도 상태는 호전되지 않았고, 청진 및 심초음파상 심한 급성 승모판 폐쇄 부전 발견되어 승모판막 치환술을 시행하였다. 술 후 이틀째 체외막 산소화 장치 및 대동맥 내 풍선장치를 제거할 수 있었고, 수술 후 48일째 자가 보행 가능한 상태로 퇴원하였다.

Purpose: This study was conducted to examine and compare clinical manifestations and predicting factors for treatment-seeking delay among patients <65 and ${\geq}65\;yr$ with first-time acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods: A total of 288 patients who were diagnosed with ACS were individually interviewed at C university hospital in G-city from November 2007 to December 2008. Results: Median pre-hospital delays for younger and older patients were 5 and 12 hr, respectively. Younger patients were more likely to be current smokers, heavy drinkers, obese, stressed, and have an unhealthy diet and family history, and to complain of chest pain, left shoulder and arm pain, perspiration, and nausea. Older patients were more likely to have hypertension and diabetes, and to complain syncope and dyspnea. Logistic regression analyses showed that after adjustment for age, gender and education, progressive onset of symptom and no attribution to cardiac problem significantly predicted pre-hospital delay >3 hr in both younger and older patients. Low perceived health status was a significant independent predictor in older patients only. Conclusion: Health care providers should be concerned with different manifestations between younger and older adults, and educate people at risk for heart attack about symptoms and actions to get immediate help.

Purpose : The purpose of this study is to provide the basic data to improve pre-hospital phase emergency care for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients by analyzing AMI patients' clinical characteristics and emergency care situations. Methods : Data were collected through medical records of 385 AMI patients including ambulance records of 107 AMI patients transferred to the emergency medical center for three and a half years. Results : Regarding emergency care for AMI patients in pre-hospital phase, 47% of the care revealed moderate level or higher, and appropriateness of pre-hospital phase emergency care for cardiopulmonary complaints practiced by paramedics showed statistically significant improvement in recent years (p<.001). The time from onset of symptom to ballooning intervention by 119 emergency services was shorter than that in other cases. However, emergency care by paramedic was mainly basic life support. Conclusion : Since prognosis of AMI shows vast differences depending on prompt detection and medical intervention, cooperation between pre-hospital and in-hospital phase is highly required. 119 paramedics should be trained focusing on the accurate assessment and emergency care, and medical direction should be activated. In addition, regulation on 12-lead EKG, cardiac enzyme analysis, use of analgesics and thrombolytic agents should be legally implemented.

Acute Myocardica Infarction has high mortality and bad prognosis. We treated a 68 year-old female patient of acute myocardiac infacrtion to follow cerebral infarction. The chief complainment is right hemiplegia, dyspnea, chest discomfort, palpitation, anxiety, insomnia. The prognosis cannot be good, Because she has anterior wall infarction, cardiomegaly, conduction block, hypertention and she is 68 years old. We treated her with chiefly Nogyongdaebo-tang and Gongjin-dan, and gradually increased momentum. also we used self west medicine. The chief complainment was improved. She became to do cane walking by herself.

Objectives: To evaluate the performance of models to predict AMI patients death using severity adjustment measures in Korea. Methods: Medical records of 861 patients treated by AMI in 7 general hospitals during 1996 and 1997 were reviewed by trained nurses. We measured the severity of patients by APACHE III, MedisGroups, CSI and DS. Using each severity method a predictive mortality for each patient was calculated from a logistic regression model including the severity score. The statistical performance of each severity method model was evaluated by using c-statistics and R2. For each hospital, z scores compared actual and expected mortality rates. Results: The overall in-hospital mortality was 14.5%, ranged from 10.0% to 22.2%. The distributions of severity scores for each method was significantly different by hospitals. The four severity-adjusted models to predict AMI patients death varied in their statistical performance for discrimination power of patients death. Order of Severity-adjusted mortality rates and z scores by four severity measures was different. Conclusion: Severity-adjusted mortality rates of AMI patients might be applied as an indicator for hospital performance evaluation in Korea. Because different severity methods frequently produce different impressions about relative hospital performance, more studies has to be done to use it as quality indicator and more attention should be paid to select appropriate severity measures.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to determine whether the published AMI report card could reduce in-patient mortality, 7-day after discharge mortality, and length of stay (LOS). Methods : Interrupted time-series intervention analysis was used to evaluate the impact of the report card for AMI care quality in November 2005 in terms of risk-adjusted in-patient mortality, risk-adjusted 7-day after discharge mortality, and DRGs case-mix LOS using the claim data of Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service. Results : Public disclosure of AMI care quality decreased risk-adjusted in-patient mortality and DRGs case-mix LOS by 0.00050% per month and 0.042 days per month respectively, however there was no effect on risk-adjusted 7-day after discharge mortality. Patterns of effect of public disclosure on AMI outcomes were a fluctuating pattern on risk-adjusted mortalities and a pulse impact for 1 month on DRGs case-mix LOS. Conclusions : We found the public disclosure of AMI care quality had decreasing effects on risk-adjusted in-patient mortality and DRGs case-mix LOS, but the size of the effect was marginal.

This study aimed to investigate health outcome of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients such as mortality and length of stay in hospital and to identify factors associated with the health outcome according to the comorbidity index. Nation-wide representative samples of 3,748 adult inpatients aged between 20-85 years with acute myocardial infarction were derived from the Korea National Hospital Discharge Injury Survey, 2005-2008. Comorbidity index was measured using the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI). The data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, multiple regression, logistic regression analysis in order to investigate the effect of comorbidity on health outcome. According to the study results, the factors associated with length of hospital stay of acute myocardial infarction patients were gender, insurance type, residential area scale, admission route, PCI perform, CABG perform, and CCI. The factors associated with mortality of acute myocardial infarction patients were age, admission route, PCI perform, and CCI. CCI with a higher length of hospital stay and mortality also increased significantly. This study demonstrated comorbidity risk adjustment for health outcome and presented important data for health care policy. In the future study, more detailed and adequate comorbidity measurement tool should be developed, so patients' severity can be adjusted accurately.
