Abstract:

Objective To analyze whether thromboelastogram (TEG) monitoring related to the severity of coronary artery pathological changes in patients with acute myocardial infarction ( AMI ) and whether it involved with cardiovascular adverse events in hospital. Methods Eighty patients with primary AMI were selected in our hospital as AMI group, 30 healthy persons served as normal control group. According to electrocardiogram, AMI group was further divided into 49 cases of acute ST-elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI) group and 31 cases of non-ST-elevated myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) group. Thromboelastogram was monitored by blood drawing within 2 hours before taking antiplatelet drugs and undergoing emergency coronary intervention. The relationship between the thromboelastogram and coronary artery pathological changes degree Gensini score and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) were evaluated in two subgroups. Results The R value and K value of AMI patients were lower than those of normal control group. The R value and K value of STEMI group were lower than those of NSTEMI (P<0.05). The Angle and MA value of patients with AMI were higher than those of normal control group, and the angle, MA value, Gensini score and MACE incidence in STEMI group were higher than those in NSTEMI group (P<0.05). Conclusion Hypercoagulability in patients with AMI predicts more severe coronary artery pathological changes and a higher incidence of MACE.
