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.

To assess the early results, risk factors and optimal timing for coronary artery bypass graft surgery(CABG) after an acute myocardial infarction(AMI), we reviewed our 19 patients who underwent CABG within 30 days after AMI, between June 1994 and October 1996. This study excluded 1 patient whose diagnosis was AMI with ventricular septal rupture. 14 of the patients were male and 5 were female. Their ages ranged from 41 to 77 years(mean age, 60.6$\pm$ 10.4 years), and the amount of time between AMI and CABG ranged from 8 hours to 24 days(mean time, 10.6$\pm$6.4 days). There were 11 anteroseptal infarctions and 8 inferior wall infarctions. 11 patients had trsnsmural infarctions and 8 had subendocardial infarctions. Indications of operations were p imary revascularization and postinfarction angina. Three patients required preoperative intra-aortic balloon pump(IABP) support, and 4 additional patients required IABP to be separated from cardiopulmonary bypass. An average of 3.6 $\pm$ 0.6 vessels per patient were bypassed. The early mortality rate for these 19 patients was 5.3% and late mortality rate was 5.5%, 1-year and 2-year actuarial survival rates were 89.5% Univariate analysis of mortality showed that an ejection fraction less than 30% and intraopretative IABP supports were associated with risk factors(p value=0.018 and 0.015 respectively). Age, sex, time to CABG, emergency operations, types and locations of infarctions were not significant. Although our studies have weak p.oints in that there was only a small number of patients and the lack of long-term results, we could conclude that early myocardial revascularization is relatively safe after AMI for those individuals with an ejection fraction greater than 30%.

서론: 급성 관동맥 증후군과 심근경색증의 진단과 예후 예측에 도움을 주는 새로운 심효소인자가 여러 가지 발견이 되어 현재 응급의료센터에서도 기본적으로 허혈성 흉통이 있는 환자에게 많이 사용하고 있다. 특히 최근에는 troponin과 CK-MB의 유용성에 대해서 많이 언급을 하고 있다. CRP도 역시 급성 관상동맥증후군에서 중요성이 인식되고 있다. 저자들은 세 가지 인자를 동시에 평가하여 상승되는 인자 수에 따라 그 중요성이 다를 수 있다는 가정 하에 총체적인 환자에 대한 정보를 제공할 수 있고, 응급실 근무 의사에게 급성 심근 경색증 환자를 좀 더 효율적으로 평가 할 수 있도록 하기 위하여 다표지 인자에 관한 연구를 시작하였다. 방법: 저자들은 응급의료센터에 내원한 급성 허혈성 흉통이 있는 환자 중 심효소 검사와 심전도에서 급성 심근 경색증에 합당한 소견을 보이고 이후 검사한 심혈관 조영술에서 심근경색증으로 확진된 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 내원 초기에 troponin T와 CK-MB, CRP를 동시에 측정하였고 또한 후향적으로 환자에 대한 기본적인 특징과 정보, 심전도 소견, 합병증 발생, 심혈관 조영술 소견과 경색관련 혈관 수, 치료 및 치료결과 등에 대한 자료를 정리하여 분석하여 보았다. 이때 환자는 두 군으로 나누어 분석하였는데, 1군은 증가된 효소수가 1개 이하인 경우이고, 2군은 2개 또는 3개 및 좌주관상동맥을 포함한 경우로 하였다. 결과: 전체 130명의 환자가 대상이 되었고, 1군 40례, 2군 90례로 2군이 훨씬 많았다. 과거력에서 이전에 관동맥 성형술을 시술받은 경우가 2군에서 유의 있게 많았다(p<0.05). 이전의 약물 복용은 전체적으로 1군에서 많았으나 질산제 복용(p<0.05)을 제외하고는 의의가 없었다. 치료는 혈전용해제 사용이 오히려 1군에서 의의있게 많았으나(p<0.05), 합병증으로 쇽이나 폐부종을 동반한 경우가 2군에서 많았다. 하지만 본 연구에서는 6개월 추적 기간중의 사건 발생이나 합병증, 예후 결과에 대한 양군간의 차이를 발견하지 못했다. 결론: 급성 심근경색증 환자에게 다표지 인자를 이용한 접근법을 적용한 결과, 기본적으로 환자에 대한 몇 가지 정보, 즉 과거에 약물 투여 여부와 혈전용해제 사용, 혈관성형술을 시술 받은 경력과 같은 기초자료에 대한 제한적인 차이를 발견할 수 있었으나, 본 연구에서는 다표지 인자를 이용하여 추적기간중 환자의 상태와 예후를 평가하고 합병증을 조기에 예측한다든지 하는 중요한 역할을 발견하지 못하였다. 그래서 향후 이에 대한 제한점을 해결한 더 보완된 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

We did Tc-99m sestamibi myocardial perfusion SPECT in 36 patients with acute myocardial infarction when they arrived at the emergency room. And we compared myocardial perfusion images with ECG findings. Then we obtained the follows. The myocardial infarction by the obstruction of left coronary descending artery and right coronary artery showed a good concordance in the diagnosis and infarction site between myocardial perfusion images and ECG findings. The 7 patients with myocardial infarction by a left circumflex coronary artery showed a perfusion defect in the lateral wall in myocardial perfusion SPECT images. But 4 patients of them showed ST segment elevation, 2 patients showed ST depression and 1 patient showed normal ECG findings. The diagnostic sensitivity of Tc-99m sestamibi myocardial perfusion SPECT was 100% by a qualified analysis. The perfusion defect site in the myocardial perfusion SPECT were corresponded with the infarct related coronary artery in 31 patients which was diagnosed by coronary angiograpy. The size of perfusion defect in the po1ar map was $31{\pm}18%(M{\pm}SD)$, in the myocardial infarction with left anterior descending coronary arery obstruction, $31{\pm}13% (M{\pm}SD)$ in the myocardial infarction with right coronary artery obstruction and $25{\pm}5.9%(M{\pm}SD)$ in the myocardial infarction with left circumflex coronary artery obstruction. We concluded that emergency myocardial perfusion SPECT images are useful in the diagnose of myocardial infarction and it's very useful when we are difficult to diagnose with ECG like as lateral wall infarction or left bundle branch block.

이 논문에서는 한국인 급성심근경색증 환자에 대한 KAMIR 데이터를 기반으로 ST분절상승 심근경색이 처음 발병한 환자의 사망에 영향을 미치는 위험요소들을 찾고, 이를 기반으로 ST분절상승 급성심근경색환자의 1년 이내 사망을 예측하는 모델을 제시한다. 총 22개의 속성 중에서 속성 선택 알고리즘을 적용한 결과 나이, 심장박출계수, 크레아티닌, 고감도 C-반응성 단백질 등 4개의 속성이 선택되었고, 이 속성들을 이용하여 더욱 정확한 예측 모델을 구축할 수 있었다. 제시된 모델을 통해서 고위험군 환자의 위험성을 평가하고 예후를 추정할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

A 61-year-old man presented with chest pain and ST elevation, and he underwent coronary angiography under the impression of acute myocardial infarction. Coronary intervention under intra-aortic balloon pumping was necessary due to his hemodynamic instability from the acute total occlusion of a large obtuse marginal branch. In spite of successful intervention, the cardiogenic shock persisted, and so extracoporeal membranous oxygenation was performed to treat this. Afterwards, the cardiogenic shock still persisted, and the auscultatory and echocardiographic findings revealed severe acute mitral valve regurgitation. Emergency mitral valve replacement was then performed. The ECMO and IABP were removed on the $2^{nd}$ postoperative day. The patient was discharged on the $48^{th}$ postoperative day.
