AGUIAR PEREZ, Jorge Enrique et al. Characterization of patients who died after a Myocardial Infarction in an Intensive Coronary Care Unit. Rev haban cienc méd [online]. 2018, vol.17, n.6, pp. 872-884. ISSN 1729-519X.
Introduction:
Cardiovascular diseases are a serious health problem worldwide. Ischemic Cardiopathy represents a high percentage of this problem, and Cuba is not excluded.
Objective:
To characterize patients who died after Acute Myocardial Infarction in the Intensive Coronary Care Unit of the Clinical-Surgical Hospital "Comandante Manuel Fajardo" in the period from June 2009 to March 2017.
Material and Methods:
Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study with a universe of 50 patients who died of acute myocardial infarction.
Results:
The mean age was 62.6 ± 7 years. The anterior myocardial infarction predominated (76%), together with patients classified according to Killip-Kimball III-IV criteria that also had low TIMI risk (68% and a 40%, respectively). 56% of the universe of patients was not thrombosed, and cardiogenic shock (40%) was confirmed as the most common complication.
Conclusions:
Patients with anterior myocardial infarction and Killip-Kimbal III-IV classification predominated in the study, without statistically significant association between these two variables. Most patients were not thrombosed and they were the ones who presented cardiogenic shock as a complication, although these variables also showed no statistically significant association.
