Influence of prophylactic intra-coronary injection of reteplase and nicorandil on coronary blood flow in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction after percutaneous coronary intervention
Objective To analyze the influence of prophylactic intra-coronary injection of reteplase and nicorandil on coronary blood flow in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods STEMI patients (n=136) were chosen from People's Hospital of Dazu District of Chongqing City from Jan.2021 to Jan.2023.The patients were divided,according different therapies,into control group (n=69) treated with prophylactic intra-coronary injection of nitroglycerin,and observation group (n=67) treated with prophylactic intra-coronary injection of reteplase and nicorandil.The indexes of flow grades of thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI),heart function,serum inflammatory factors and total incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) were compared between 2 groups.Results After treatment,the percentages of grades 2 and 3 of TIMI flow grades were higher (47.76% vs.42.03%;31.34% vs.14.49%,P<0.05),left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was higher,and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD),cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and creatine kinase-MB isoenzyme (CK-MB) were lower (P<0.05) in observation group than those in control group.The levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) were lower in observation group than those in control group (P<0.05).The total incidence of MACE was lower in observation group than that in control group (1.49% vs.11.59%,P<0.05).Conclusion The prophylactic intra-coronary injection of reteplase and nicorandil can effectively improve TIMI flow grades and heart function,relieve inflammatory response and prevent MACE occurrence in STEMI patients.
