Abstract

The aim – to establish markers of clinical and functional state development in patients with acute myocardial infarction inherent in wartime.
Materials and methods. A cohort of 133 STEMI patients was examined (77.4 % men, 61.7±0.9 years). Part of the patients (group 1) was hospitalized from February to May 2019 (n=87), while the other part of them (group 2) was hospitalized in the period from February 24, 2022 to May 2023 (n=46) within the first 24 hours from the development of symptoms (average time of admission 5.2±0.4 hours). In order to eliminate discrepancies in indicators, which with a low probability are related to the action of wartime factors, comparable samples were made from groups 1 and 2 (52 patients and 17 patients, respectively). Comparison of groups was carried out based on clinical and anamnestic and laboratory parameters of the first day.
Results and discussion. At the admission to the hospital, markers of a specific clinical and functional state in patients with STEMI due to the influence of wartime factors are: level of leukocytes > 13.0 · 109/L, monocytes > 0.5 · 109/L, lymphocytes > 1.2 . 109/L, triglycerides > 1.63 mmol/L, heart rate > 76 beats/min, as well as criteria made up of these indicators (in particular, products of the level of monocytes or lymphocytes, the level of triglycerides and heart rate, as well as the 7-component scale, which takes into account heart rate, ESR, glucose and triglyceride levels, as well as the number of monocytes, lymphocytes and platelets). Moreover, the increase in the number of monocytes is not associated with hospital complications in these patients. Instead, the level of triglycerides, the number of lymphocytes and platelets are directly related both to the influence of wartime factors and to the complicated hospital course of STEMI.
Conclusions. The influence of wartime factors in patients with STEMI is combined with the response to myocardial damage. It leads to an increase in the risk of a complicated course of the hospital stage, as well as to specific clinical and laboratory changes. These changes make it possible to recognize the impact of wartime factors and patients at high risk of hospital course of myocardial infarction.
