Abstract

Objective: To investigate the clinical and subclinical characteristics in patients of ischemic heart disease with indications for cardiac shock wave therapy at Internal Cardiology Department of the 108 Military Central Hospital. Subject and method: This is a prospective, cross-sectional study on 50 patients with ischemic heart disease with indications for cardiac shock wave therapy managed at Internal Cardiology Department of the 108 Military Central Hospital from January 2017 to January 2020. All patients were performed clinical examination and laboratory tests, learn risk factors onset. Result: The average age of the study group was 71.32 ± 10.5 years, men accounted for 78%. The main risk factors were advanced age (age ≥ 65) 84%, dyslipidemia (96%), hypertension (100%), smoking prevalence (70%), and diabetes (38%). The rate of chest pain grade of CCS 1, respectively, was (2%), CCS 2 (26%), CCS 3 (66%), CCS 4 (6%). The rate of heart failure (64%), in which NYHA II accounted for the highest rate (51.9%). Ejection fraction’s 55.7 ± 16.2% (EF Simpson's 43.3 ± 12%), wall motion septal index (WMSI) 1.49 ± 0.22; global longitudinal strain (GLS) -9.8 ± 2.68. The rate of hypokinesia accounted for the highest rate (98%). Akinesia (8%), dyskinesia (2%), aneurysm (14%). The number of patients without intervention was (30%), with PCI (56%), with CABG (12%). There was 1 patient (2%) with both PCI and CABG. Damage to multiple branches of coronary artery (96%). Severe severity of multiple coronary artery stenosis (58%). The percentage of combined perfusion defect accounted for (100%), severe perfusion defects (52%) and large perfusion defect (58%). Conclusion: Patients with chronic ischemic heart disease with indications for cardiac shock wave therapy are often older, have many risk factors. Coronary artery lesions are many and complicated, and the degree of perfusion defect is severe and extensive.
