Objectives : This study was designed to investigate heart rate variability(HRV) in patients with abnormality on EKG by power spectrum analysis of HRV. Methods : The patient group consisted of 147 patients diagnosed as abnormal on EKG at the Oriental Medical Hospital of Dong-eui University from November 2003 to September 2005. We divided the patient group into 9 subgroups (bradycardia, arrhythmia, PVC, AF, AV block, RBBB, LVH, cardiac ischemia, LAD ). The control group consisted of 117 patients who were diagnosed as normal on EKG at the same hospital during the same period. We checked HRV of the two groups over 5 minutes and compared the HRV index between groups. Results and Conclusions : In the time domain analysis, SDNN was significantly higher in the PVC and AF groups than control group and RMSSD was significantly higher in the all patient group and the bradycardia, PVC and AF groups than in the control group. In the frequency domain analysis, Ln(LF) was significantly higher in the all patient group and the PVC and AF groups than the control group but lower in the LAD group. Ln(HF) was significantly higher in The all patient group and bradycardia, PVE and AF groups than control group. LF/HF ratio was significantly lower in the all patient group and bradycardia, arrhythmia, AF, AV block and LAD groups than control group. The autonomic nerve system and parasympathetic nerve system were higher in the patient group with abnormal EKG compared with the control group.

배경: 저자들은 흉부 손상환자에서 심손상이 예상되는 경우 심전도, 혈중내 CK, CK-MB분획 변화를 선별하여 이상이 있는 경우 이면성 심초음파검사를 실시하여 이상유무로 심타박상 및 심좌상으로 분류하여 임상적 고찰을 해보기로 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1997년 1월부터 1998년 3월까지 15개월간 심손상이 의심되어 본교실에 입원치료한 24명을 대상으로 병력, 내원당시 심전도 및 혈중내 CK, CK-MB 분획을 연속적 선별검사를 실시하여 이상이 있는 경우 심초음파검사를 하였다. 결과: 연령분포는 20∼40대가 58.3%로 가장 많았으며, 남여비는 3 : 1 이었다. 원인은 교통사고가 15례(62.5%)로 가장 많았다. 동반손상의 경우 다발성 늑골골절, 흉골골절 순이었다. 심전도 검사상 심타박상의 경우 정상이 가장 많았으며, 심좌상에서는 ST-T변화가 가장 많았다. CK-MB분획은 심좌상에서 높았으며, 내원 당일은 통계학적 유의성은 없었으나 내원 1, 2, 3일에는 통계학적 유의성이 있었다. 재원기간은 심타박상에서 평균 9.22일이었고, 심좌상에서 26.18일이었다(p=0.0075). 합병증은 급성폐부전이 7례로 가장 많았으며, 이중 5례에서는 인공호흡기 치료를 하였으며 사망한 경우는 없었다. 결론: 저자들은 흉부손상환자에서 심손상이 의심되는 경우 심전도, CK, CK-MB분획을 연속 선별검사하여 이상이 있는 경우 심초음파를 실시하여 심좌상의 유무를 진단하는 것이 좋을 것으로 사료된다.

Background: Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is a sensitive cardiac marker of myocardial injury. In normal coronary angiogram, positive cTnI values may be detected in various events such as sepsis, stroke, trauma and so on. To investigate characteristics of cTnI positive group in trauma patients, we designed this study between cTnI positive group and cTnI negative group. Method: Trauma patients who visited emergency room within 24 hours after accidents were included. Patients who had renal failure, acute coronary syndrome, sepsis, spontaneous SAH were excluded. Retrospective study of 97 trauma patients was done. We investgated ISS (injury severity score), positive cTnI, EKG abnormality, shock class, ICU admission rate and mortality. Result: In comparing with non chest trauma group, chest trauma group, whose chest AIS (Abbreviated Injury Score) is more than 3 point, had significant values in ISS, positive cTnI, EKG abnormality, shock class and ICU admission rate. Also, in non chest trauma group, we found several patients whose cTnI level was positive. When non chest trauma group was divided into two subgroups, the mortality and shock class of positive cTnI group were higher than that of negative cTnI group. When all trauma patients were divided into two groups, a positive cTnI group had higher values in ISS, shock class, ICU admission rate and mortality than that in a negative cTnI group. Conclusion: We found that cTnI were positive in patients of cardiac contusion but also in various trauma cases. In non chest trauma patients, we assumed that hypotension caused cTnI elevating. The cTnI could play a role in predicting prognosis in trauma patients.

1. Objectives The purpose of this research is to find out the Constitutional characters of Stroke inpatients. 2. Methods Stroke inpatients admitted into KyungHee Oriental Medical Center from January 2000 to April 2004, were divided into 2 group, cerebral infarction 493 inpatients and cerebral hemorrhage 83 inpatients. This research investigated the distribution of Sasasng Constitution, the gender, the age decade, the period of admission, the elapse of the time after onset, the course of admission, the frequency of Sasang Constitutional Herb-medicine, the past history of hypertension and diabetes mellitus, the obesity, the prevalence rate of hypertension and diabetes mellitus, EKG abnormality and hyperlipidemia. 3. Results & Conclusions The Sasang Constitutional distribution of cerebral infarction 493 inpatients was 0.4% of Taeyangin, Soyangin 34.1%, Taeurnin 56.4%, Soeumin 9.1%. The Sasang Constitutional distribution of cerebral hemorrhage 83 inpatients was Taeyangin 1.2%, Soyangin 47.9%, Taeurnin 43.4%, Soeumin 9.6%. Stroke incidence rate of Taeumin and Soyangin inpatients was high. Sasang Constitution had significant relations with the prevalence of the obesity and hypertension in cerebral infarction inpatients, the prevalence of obesity, diabetes mellitus and ECG abnormality in cerebral hemorrhage inpatients.
