Abstract
Aim. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is connected with the increased risk of stroke, mortality rate and costs for health care around the world. Earlier the predictive role of a dyslipidemia was not estimated in available literature.
Material and methods. This retrospective study included 13,244 patients who consistently referred to Scientific Research Institute – Regional Clinical Hospital no. 1, Krasnodar, with acute coronary syndrome from November 20, 2015 to November 20, 2017. Primary final points were defined both as mortality from all reasons and from the cardiovascular events. Secondary final points were defined as repeated myocardial infarction. Follow up period was 12 months.
Results. In the studied group ACS + AF we included 201 patients. This group of patients was divided into 3 subgroups: patients with originally developed AF episode accompanied with acute coronary syndrome, included 52 patients (Group 1), patients with constant AF form, included 96 patients (Group 2) and patients with paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation registered before ACS episode, included 53 patients (Group 3). In Group 1 the level of the general cholesterol and low-density lipoproteins (LDL) was authentically higher. Among the survived and discharged patients after ACS episode there were 45 patients in Group 1, in Group 2 and 3 there were 81 and 47 patients, respectively. In 12 months the general mortality rate was comparable, however, the frequency of lethal and non-lethal myocardial infarction development was authentically higher in Group 1.
Conclusions. Higher initial levels of the general cholesterol and LDL are connected with development repeated MI that does not affect the general mortality rate. However, these data are obtained in a small selection of patients and demand a further investigation.
