Methods 307 patients with a first episode acute myocardial infarction underwent selective coronary angiography and left ventriculography. The relation of previous angina pectoris to coronary collateral circulation, peak creatine kinase and left ventricular function were analyzed. Results ①In the 307 patients, there were 192 (62. 5 % ) with previous angina [PA ( + ) group] and 115 (37. 5 % ) without [PA (-) group]. ②The peak creatine kinase (CK) and CK -MB were significantly higher in PA (-) group than in PA (+) group ( P < 0. 05 for both comparisons) . ③ Collateral circulation to infarct - related artery was more likely to be present in PA ( + ) group than in PA (-) group ( P < 0. 05) . (4) The left ventricular ejection fraction was significantly increased, and the left ventricular wall motion Cortina score decreased, in PA (+) group than in PA (-) group ( P < 0. 01 for both comparisons) . Conclusion In patients with acute myocardial infarction, previous angina pectoris may have beneficial effects on coronary collateral circulation and left ventricular function.展开更多
