Zhonghua Xin Xue Guan Bing za Zhi 2016 April 25
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the age-related differences in the clinical symptoms and triggering factors among Chinese patients with acute myocardial infarction.
METHODS: Acute myocardial infarction Patients (n=14 854) registered in the China Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry from January 2013 to March 2014 were included in this study. Patients were divided into 4 groups: <55 years old group (3 950 patients), 55-64 years old group (4 361 patients), 65-74 years old group ( 3 759 patients), and ≥75 years old group (2 784 patients). Demographic features, medical history, clinical presentation and triggering factors were obtained via electronic data capture system.
RESULTS: (1)Persistent chest pain and sweat were the major typical symptoms 66.4%(9 863/14 854) and 63.8%(9 471/14 854)) in the whole cohort. Prevalence of persistent chest pain among four groups were 73.8%(2 915/3 950), 69.2%(3 016/4 361), 63.6%(2 394/3 759) and 55.2%(1 538/2 784), and radiating pain among four groups were 36.2%(1 428/3 950), 34.1%(1 487/4 361), 30.9%(1 160/3 759)and 25.9%(722/2 784), and sweat among four groups were 70.0%(2 765/3 950), 66.5%(2 898/4 361), 61.8%%(2 323/3 759)and 53.3%(1 485/2 784), and there were statistical significance for all above symptoms among groups (all P<0.001). (2)triggering factors before acute myocardial infarction could be found in 19.4%(2 879/14 854) of the patients. Prevalence of existed triggering factors among four groups were 23.8%(941/3 950), 21.0%(914/4 361), 16.6%(625/3 759) and 14.3%(399/2 784, P<0.001). Recent excessive unhealthy lifestyles among four groups were 20.8%(196/3 950), 11.9%(109/4 361), 10.1%(63/3 759) and 9.0%(36/2 784) among the 4 groups (P<0.001).
CONCLUSIONS: Persistent chest pain and sweat are absent in nearly half of Chinese patients in ≥75 years old group. Triggering factors prior to acute myocardial infarction could be evidenced in about twenty percent patients, and which are more often in young patients. Clinical Trail Registry: National Institutes of Health，NCT018746.
