The purpose of this study to determine the clinical characteristic of the associated risk factors of acute myocardial infarction patients (AMI) among the Hunan Han population in China. The retrospectively collected the records data of 595 both STEMI and NSTEMI patients from the first Xiangya hospital, Hunan, China over a period of January 2018 and December 2018. These studies revealed clinical characteristics with associated risk factors among acute myocardial infarction patients. A total of 595 diagnosed acute myocardial infarction patients participated in this study among males 70.9% and females 29% with mean age e 52.9+11.3 years. While 90% had STEMI and 9.9 % had NSTEMI. The chest pain 94.4%, 86% and shortness of breath 55%, 100% presented with STEMI and NSTEMI groups respectively. Smoking incidence in male subject 70.3% had higher than in female subject 29.1 % (P<0.05). Hypertension and diabetes mellitus found 59%, 69.5% in male participants as compared to 40.6%, 30.4% in female participants respectively (P<0.05). However, no statistical difference was found among dyslipidemia males 48.6% and females 47.4%. The most common type of AMI was STEMI and usually presented with chest pain and shortness of breath. The AMI patients were more found in male and common associated risk factors were smoking and hypertension followed by diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia.

OBJECTIVE: To examine the plasma adiponectin concentration in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients combined with abnormal glucose metabolism, and to explore the clinical significance of adiponectin. METHODS: Eighty-seven hospitalized CHD patients confirmed by coronary angiography from August 2009 to April 2010 at Xiangya Hospital were enrolled and divided into 3 groups according to their glucose metabolic state: 31 patients were selected as a simple CHD group, 28 were selected as a CHD combined with impaired glucose tolerance group (CHD+IGT group), and the other 28 as a CHD combined with diabetes mellitus group (CHD+DM group). The 31 healthy subjects who got health checkup at the same time were enrolled as a normal control group (NC group). Plasma adiponectin was measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. The height, weight,waistline and blood pressure of all the subjects were checked, and the fasting blood glucose (FBG), insulin, lipids, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), free fatty acids (FFA), the liver function and the renal function were checked as well. The body mass index and the homeostasis model were assessed for insulin resistance. RESULTS: 1) Plasma adiponectin in the CHD group, the CHD+IGT group, and the CHD+DM group was all lower than that in the NC group (P<0.05); 2) Compared with the CHD group, the plasma adiponectin in the CHD+DM group was the lowest, followed by the CHD+IGT group, and there was significant difference in the 3 groups (P<0.05); 3) Plasma adiponectin level was positively related with the high density lipoprotein cholesterol-C (HDL-C) (r=0.483, P<0.01), while it was negatively related with the hs-CRP and Gensini score (r=-0.489, P<0.05;r=-0.252, P<0.05). CONCLUSION Plasma adiponectin concentration is reduced in the CHD patients, and significantly reduced in CHD patients combined with abnormal glucose metabolism. Plasma adiponectin concentration decreases significantly with the severity of abnormal glucose metabolism. CHD and the abnormal glucose metabolism are important influence factors for plasma adiponectin. That plasma adiponectin level significantly decreases may be the superimposed results of CHD and abnormal glucose metabolism. Plasma adiponectin combined with HDL-C, hs-CRP and Gensini score may provide the reference in the judgement of the severity of CHD patients with abnormal glucose metabolism.

AIM:To observe the efficacy and safe-ty of combined lipid-lowering strategies in the ini-tial stage of treatment in"very high-risk ASCVD"pa-tients in cardiology outpatient clinics in a real-world prospective cohort study.METHODS:Pa-tients with"very high-risk ASCVD"from January to June 2021 were consecutively enrolled and divided into three groups according to the actual lipid-low-ering treatment strategies:Atorvastatin group;Atorvastatin combine with ezetimibe group;Atorv-astatin combine with evolocumab group.The pri-mary observation endpoints were the changes in LDL-C,Lp(a),and non-HDL-C after one month of treatment,and the secondary endpoints were the changes in TC,TG,HDL-C,Hs-CRP,and safety indica-tors.RESULTS:The efficacy of the combined lipid-lowering strategy in the initial stage of treatment was significantly better than that of the Atorvas-tatin group:LDL-C,Log[Lp(a)],non-HDL-C,TC sig-nificantly decreased(all P＜0.05).Compared with the Atorvastatin combine with Ezetimibe group,LDL-C and Log[Lp(a)]decreased significantly in the Atorvastatin combine with Evolocumab group(P＜0.05),and TC and TG had decreased insignifi-cantly(P＞0.05).When"LDL-C＜1.4mmol/L or＜1.8 mmol/L"is used as the standard for lipid-low-ering compliance,the LDL-C compliance rates of the two groups of combined lipid-lowering treat-ments are higher than those of the atorvastatin sin-gle-drug group.The differences were all statistically significant(all P＜0.05);the LDL-C compliance rate of the atorvastatin combined with evolocumab group was higher than that of the atorvastatin com-bined with ezetimibe group,and the differences were statistically significant(All P＜0.05).When the reduction rate of"LDL dropped by more than 50％"alone or in combination were used as the standard,no one in the three groups could reach the stan-dard.The liver aminotransferase levels had no signif-icant changes among the 3 groups after treatment(all P＞0.05).Myocardial enzyme isoenzyme(CK-MB)decreased among the 3 groups insignificantly(P＞0.05).Compared with the Atorvastatin group,the blood sugar(BS)of the two combined lipid-low-ering groups decreased significantly(P＜0.05);The BS of the Atorvastatin+ezetimibe group significant-ly decreased than that of Atorvastatin combine with Evolocumab group(P＜0.05).CONCLUSION:The lipid-lowering effect and LDL-C compliance rate of patients with"very high-risk ASCVD"in the cardi-ology outpatient department after 1 month of com-bined lipid-lowering treatment were better than those of the atorvastatin monotherapy group.When LDL-C＜1.4 mmol/L or＜1.8 mmol/L is the lip-id-lowering target,the LDL-C compliance rate after 1 month of treatment in the atorvastatin combined with evolocumab group is higher than that of the combined atorvastatin and zetamibu group.When the"LDL drop by more than 50％"is used as the standard for lipid lowering,it is difficult to reach the standard within 1 month.Outpatient"very high-risk ASCVD"patients were treated with initial combined lipid-lowering therapy for 1 month with-out adverse reactions.The initial combined lipid-lowering strategy can be used for patients with"very high-risk ASCVD"in cardiology outpatient clinics who need to achieve LDL-C values early.Atorvastatin combined with evolocumab strategy can be recommended for those patients who re-quire LDL-C＜1.4 mmol/L or＜1.8 mmol/L within one month.
