A Clinical Analysis of Eighty Cases with Acute Myocardial Infarction and Cerebral Infarction

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and cerebrai infarction (CI). Methods Clinical data of eighty pa- tients with AMI and CI were analyzed retrospectively. Results The two groups shared some common risk factors. There was a higher proportion in onset time interval between the two diseases in the first two month, especially the first two weeks. Cardio-cerebral infarction group had a higher rate in concomitant right ventricular myocardial infarction, left ventricular hypertrophy and ventricular aneurysm, but a lower rate in ejection fraction value and admitting diastolic pressure than Cerebro-cardiac infarction group. In the two groups, those patients who were older than 65 years had a distinguishing hospitalization fatality rate (P0.05). Conclusion Age (≥65 years) might be a common risk for the two groups. When myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction occurred, complicating disease should be actively prevented and treated to strive for the best result.
