Abstract

Each year, approximately 10% of millions of patients who appealed to
emergency services with heart attack complaints are diagnosed with heart
attacks. The fact that the patient potential is so high causes a serious
concentration in the hospitals. Cardiac markers are important for giving
specific and rapid results in the identification of acute myocardial infarction
(AMI) and non-cardiac cases. In this study; it was aimed importance of cardiac
markers in early diagnosis of AMI and investigation of lipid profile effects on
AMI. In the study, Serum troponin (TnT), creatine kinase (CK), CK-MB, alanine
aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), lactate dehydrogenase
(LDH), triglyceride, total cholesterol (TC), LDL- , and HDL-cholesterol (HDL-c)
levels were analyzed by routine biochemical methods in 33 healthy individuals
(9 females, 24 males)  and 27 patients (8
females, 19 males) who treated with the diagnosis of AMI in Coronary Intensive
Care Unit at Dermlupınar University Evliya Çelebi Training and Research
Hospital. In the statistical analysis, the ALT, AST, CK, CK-MB, LDH and TnT
parameters of the patient group were found to be very high when compared to
controls (p <0.0001). The significances determined statistically in
triglyceride, LDL-cholesterol, total cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol levels
were (p <0.001), (p <0.05), (p <0.05), (p> 0.1), respectively. It
was thought that cardiac marker analysis is a highly specific marker for AMI
diagnosis and that it is greatly facilitated in the elimination of non-cardiac
cases.

Abstract

Her
yıl, kalp krizi şikâyetleriyle acil servislere başvuran milyonlarca hastadan
yaklaşık %10’una kalp krizi tanısı konulmaktadır. Hasta potansiyelinin bu denli
yüksek olması, hastanelerde ciddi bir yoğunluğa neden olmaktadır. Kardiyak
markörler, akut miyokard infarktüsünün (AMİ) tanısında ve non-kardiyak
vakalarda spesifik ve hızlı sonuçlar vermesi açısından önemlidir. Bu çalışmada;
kardiyak markörlerin AMİ erken tanısındaki önemi ve lipid profilinin AMİ
üzerine etkisinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Dumlupınar Üniversitesi Evliya
Çelebi Eğitim Araştırma Hastanesi Koroner Yoğun Bakım Ünitesi’nde AMİ
teşhisiyle tedavi edilen 27 hasta (8 kadın, 19 erkek) ve 33 sağlık sağlıklı
bireylerde (9 kadın, 24 erkek) serum troponin (TnT), kreatin kinaz (CK), CK-MB,
alanin aminotransferaz (ALT) , aspartat aminotransferaz (AST), laktat
dehidrogenaz (LDH), trigliserid, total kolesterol (TC), LDL-kolesterol (LDL-c),
ve HDL-kolesterol (HDL-c) düzeyleri 
rutin biyokimyasal metotlarla analiz edildi. İstatistiki analizlerde,
hasta grubunun ALT, AST, CK, CK-MB, LDH ve TnT parametreleri kontrol ile
karşılaştırıldığında çok yüksek bulunmuştur (p < 0.0001). Trigliserit,
LDL-kolesterol, Total Kolesterol ve HDL-kolesterol düzeylerinde istatistiksel
olarak tespit edilen anlamlılıklar sırasıyla (p < 0.001), (p < 0.05), (p
< 0.05), (p > 0.1) şeklindedir. Kardiyak markör analizinin AMİ teşhisi için
oldukça spesifik bir belirleyici olduğu, non-kardiyak vakaların elimine
edilmesinde büyük kolaylık sağladığı düşünülmektedir.
