Relationship between lipids and occlusive coronary artery disease.

Total cholesterol level, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol level, and the ratio of total cholesterol/HDL cholesterol and triglyceride level were determined in 128 consecutive patients undergoing coronary arteriography for evaluation of chest pain. Greater than 50% occlusive coronary artery disease was more prevalent in patients with either a high total cholesterol level, triglyceride level, or total cholesterol/HDL ratio, or a low HDL cholesterol level. Closer analysis of the extent of occlusive coronary artery disease indicated that the HDL cholesterol level was a better predictor of coronary artery disease than total cholesterol or triglyceride levels. The ratio of total cholesterol/HDL cholesterol, however, had a wider discrimination in identifying patients with both single-vessel or multivessel disease. This ratio should be a useful adjunct in assessing the risk of coronary artery disease.

Survival after recovery from acute myocardial infarction. Two and five year prognostic indices.

A prognostic index for two year survival following recovery from acute myocardial infarction has been verified in an independent group of 105 patients. Five variables comprise the index: systolic blood pressure level on admission, highest blood urea nitrogen level in the cardiac care unit; atrial arrhythmias in the cardiac care unit; angina pectoris for more than three months or a previous myocardial infarction; and more than one ventricular ectopic beat per hour recorded on an 8 hour dynamic electrocardiogram during convalescence just prior to hospital discharge. One hundred twenty-six patients have also been followed for five or more years, and we now report a five year prognostic index. Discriminant analysis indicates that the same five variables, although weighted differently, continue to be significant for prognostic assessment and may be utilized in the identification of patients at high and lower risk.

Acute myocardial infarction: prognosis after recovery.

A prognostic index for 2-year survival after recovery from acute myocardial infarction was constructed from variables obtained during its course. One hundred ten of 143 patients survived 2 years, and 27 of 33 patients died of cardiac-related causes. Univariate analysis showed that 12 variables were significantly different between the surviving and nonsurviving groups. Discriminant analysis indicated five variables with meaningful predictive value to be included in a prognostic index: admission systolic blood pressure; highest blood urea nitrogen level in the cardiac care unit: atrial arrhythmias in the cardiac care unit; angina pectoris for more than 3 months or a previous myocardial infarction; and more than one ventricular ectopic beat per hour recorded on a dynamic electrocardiogram during the 17th to 24th hospital day. The prognostic index emphasizes the importance of extensive myocardial impairment and provides a means for identifying patients at risk of early mortality.
