Abstract

Objective: The risk factors for myocardial infarction (MI) can be separated into three general categories: non-modifiable factors, modifiable risk factors, and lifestyle. This study aimed to investigate whether or not there was any effect of cardiac wall thickness and coronary artery obstructions on acute MI.

Methods: In this retrospective study of histopathological examinations of autopsies, two groups were formed. The first contained 28 cases diagnosed with acute MI and the second 28 cases with no heart pathology and the cause of death was reasons other than heart disease. The subjects in the two groups were similar in age, height, weight, and body mass index. The groups were compared in terms of the left and right ventricular wall thicknesses and the degree of obstruction of the right, left, anterior descending, and circumflex coronary arteries.

Results: The mean left ventricular wall thickness was 1.461±0.2767 cm in the acute MI group and 1.386±0.2460 cm in the control group, with no statistically significant difference found between the two groups (p=0.289). A statistically significant difference in the degree of obstruction of the coronary arteries was found between the groups.

Conclusions: Although the mean cardiac wall thickness was greater in the acute MI cases, no statistically significant difference was found between the two groups.

急性心肌梗死死亡与其他原因死亡的心脏壁厚度和冠状动脉阻塞的比较
目的:心肌梗死(MI)的危险因素可分为三类:不可改变因素、可改变危险因素和生活方式。本研究旨在探讨心肌壁厚度和冠状动脉阻塞对急性心肌梗死的影响。方法:回顾性研究尸检组织病理学检查,分为两组。第一组28例诊断为急性心肌梗死,第二组28例无心脏病理,死亡原因非心脏病。两组受试者的年龄、身高、体重和身体质量指数相似。比较各组左、右心室壁厚度及右、左、前降支和旋冠状动脉阻塞程度。结果:急性心肌梗死组左室壁平均厚度为1.461±0.2767 cm,对照组为1.386±0.2460 cm,两组间差异无统计学意义(p=0.289)。冠状动脉阻塞程度在两组之间有统计学上的显著差异。结论:虽然急性心肌梗死患者的平均心壁厚度较大,但两组间差异无统计学意义。

期刊介绍: The Medeniyet Medical Journal (Medeniyet Med J) is an open access, peer-reviewed, and scientific journal of Istanbul Medeniyet University Faculty of Medicine on various academic disciplines in medicine, which is published in English four times a year, in March, June, September, and December by a group of academics. Medeniyet Medical Journal is the continuation of Göztepe Medical Journal (ISSN: 1300-526X) which was started publishing in 1985. It changed the name as Medeniyet Medical Journal in 2015. Submission and publication are free of charge. No fees are asked from the authors for evaluation or publication process. All published articles are available online in the journal website (www.medeniyetmedicaljournal.org) without any fee. The journal publishes intradisciplinary or interdisciplinary clinical, experimental, and basic researches as well as original case reports, reviews, invited reviews, or letters to the editor, Being published since 1985, the Medeniyet Med J recognizes that the best science should lead to better lives based on the fact that the medicine should serve to the needs of society, and knowledge should transform society. The journal aims to address current issues at both national and international levels, start debates, and exert an influence on decision-makers all over the world by integrating science in everyday life. Medeniyet Med J is committed to serve the public and influence people’s lives in a positive way by making science widely accessible. Believing that the only goal is improving lives, and research has an impact on people’s lives, we select the best research papers in line with this goal.
