The Structural and Functional Myocardial State Peculiarities in Men Under 60 Years Old With Myocardial Infarction and Chronic Inflammatory Pulmonary Diseases

Abstract

Relevance. The development of chronic heart failure in chronic inflammatory pulmonary disease (CIPD) after myocardial infarction (MI) remains insufficiently studied. Aim. To evaluate changes in intracardiac hemodynamic parameters in men under 60 years old with CIPD in the acute and subacute MI periods to clarify their significance in the development of chronic heart failure. Material and methods. The study included men aged 19-60 years old with type I MI. Patients are divided into two age-comparable groups: I - the study group, with CIPD - 166 patients; II - control, without it - 490 patients. A comparative assessment of intracardiac hemodynamic in selected groups was performed in first 48 hours (1) and the end of third MI week (2). Results. There was a left ventricle (LV) large dilatation in the study group, as in the first hours of MI (end-systolic volume index (ESVI1) 43.5±21.5 and 36.6±20.7 (ml/m2); p=0.001 ), and at the end of the third week of MI (ESVI2 35.6±16.9 and 32.2±18.4 (ml/m2); p=0.03). There was a left atrium (LA) dilatation (I (1): 40.3±5.3; I (2): 40.9±5.2 (mm) and II (1): 40.7±5.1; II (2): 40.4±5.2 (mm); p≥0.05), right ventricle (RV) dilatation in the first hours of MI (28.3±6.7 and 25.2±6.7 (mm); p = 0.01). There was a significant decrease in the LV ejection fraction in the study group compared to the control at both measurement points (1: 42.6±13.4 and 47.8±13.3 (%), respectively; p=0.0004; 2: 54.9±11.5 and 57.2±12.6 (%); p=0.04). When assessing the dynamics over the observation period, an expansion of the LP was noted in the study group (by 1.4%), in contrast to its decrease in the control group (by 0.6%; p˂0.0001). Also revealed: negative dynamics of the ratio of the velocity of late and early LV filling in the study group (decrease by 6.0%) in comparison with the control (increase by 5.8%; p˂0.0001). Conclusions. Thus, in CIPD, we observed more pronounced dilatation of the RV and LV, systolic and diastolic LV dysfunction in the acute and subacute MI periods. This confirms the negative value of CIPD for the prognosis of MI.
