The Impact

The survival rate for infants at the threshold of viability has been improving. However, there are insufficient data regarding the cost(s) of initial and ongoing care of these infants and the long-term outcome of survivors. Furthermore, there has been little study of the impact of obstetric management on the survival rates of extremely low birth weight infants and on long-term morbidities. Continued research on these issues is imperative, and physicians need to remain informed of changing statistics.

Background: To evaluate the psychological characteristics of coronary heart disease (CHD) patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) by cluster analysis of Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI-2) questionnaires and to assess the impact of the profiles obtained on long-term outcome. Methods: 229 CHD patients admitted to cardiac rehabilitation filled in self-administered MMPI-2 questionnaires early after CABG. We assessed the relation between MMPI- 2 profiles derived by cluster analysis, clinical characteristics and outcome at 3-year follow-up. Results: Among the 215 patients (76% men, median age 66 years) with valid criteria in control scales, we identified 3 clusters (G) with homogenous psychological characteristics: G1 patients (N=75) presented somatoform complaints but overall minimal psychological distress. G2 patients (N=72) presented type D personality traits. G3 subjects (N=68) showed a trend to cynicism, mild increases in anger, social introversion and hostility. Clusters overlapped for clinical characteristics such as smoking (G1 21%, G2 24%, G3 24%, p ns), previous myocardial infarction (G1 43%, G2 47%, G3 49% p ns), LV ejection fraction (G1 60 [51 – 60]; G2 58 [49- 60]; G3 60 [55-60], p ns), 3-vessel-disease prevalence (G1 69%, G2 65%, G3 71%, p ns). Three-year event rates were comparable (G1 15%; G2 18%; G3 15%) and Kaplan- Meier curves overlapped among clusters (p ns). Conclusions: After CABG, the interpretation of MMPI- 2 by cluster analysis is useful for the psychological and personological diagnosis to direct psychological assistance. Conversely, results from cluster analysis of MMPI-2 do not seem helpful to the clinician to predict long term outcome.

To investigate the impact of admission glucose levels on myocardial damage and long term outcome in patients with acute STEMI using contrast-enhanced CMR. 130 consecutive patients (104 males; mean age 59.4±11.8 years) with first reperfused STEMI were included. Hyperglycemia was defined as glucose levels above 7.8mmol/l. CMR was performed within 3.9±2.2 days after admission on a 1.5 Tesla MR System. The imaging protocol included SSFP cine sequences for the calculation of LV function, volumes and mass. Total no reflow volumes (NRV) and delayed enhancement volumes (DEV) were calculated from planimetry of the IR-SSFP stacks of short axis images by disc-summation performed early / late following administration of 0.2mmol/kg/BW of gadodiamid. NRV and DEV were expressed as percent of LV Mass (NR%, DE%). Continuous variables were compared by Mann-Whitney test. Correlation of admission hyperglycemia and NR% was tested by spearman rank test. Patients were prospectively followed for 30±9 months. A stepwise logistic regression model was used to analyze the impact of hyperglycemia and CMR parameters on NR% and outcome. 55 of 130 (42%) patients had hyperglycemia on admission. Patients with admission hyperglycemia had lower LV ejection fraction (38.6±12.9% vs. 47.7±11.9%, p=0.001), greater ESV (89.2±39.2ml vs. 71.7±34.1ml, p=0.002), greater LV Mass (156.7±40.4g vs. 136.3±36.7g, p=0.003), larger DE% (19.3±13.8% vs. 9.7±8.5%, p<0.001) and larger NR% (8.1± 9.2% vs. 2.3± 4.2%, p<0.001). Admission hyperglycemia correlated moderate but significant to DE% (r=0.386, p<0.001) and NR% (r=0.421, p<0.001). In a multivariable logistic regression model admission hyperglycemia was an independent predictor (OR 6.8; CI 2.8 −16.6) of extensive (> median) microvascular obstruction, extensive delayed enhancement (OR 3.2; CI 1.5–7.1) and was associated with an increased risk for death and reinfarction (OR 4.7; CI 1.2–18.3) during follow up. Admission hyperglycemia in acute, reperfused STEMI is independently related to the extent of microvascular obstruction on early contrast-enhanced CMR and is associated with worse long-term outcome. Thus, CMR may play a major role in monitoring effects of glucose control on myocardial damage in AMI.
