Summary. The recovery of viable (hibernating) myocardium is possible only after surgical revascularization, in contrast to stunning myocardium the recovery of which is spontaneous. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of therapy (medical or surgical revascularization) on the clinical course and echocardiographic findings during a one-year follow-up of patients after acute myocardial infarction. The investigation included 195 patients hospitalized for acute myocardial infarction. Prior to discharge, all patients underwent DSE test. During a 12-month follow-up, the patients underwent 3-month coronarography and possible surgical revascularization (ACB) (57 patients), depending on the presence of viable myocardium and/or residual ischemia. The patients were divided into two groups: the first group underwent ACB, and the second received medical treatment. Both groups showed significant dynamics of change in WMSI during the follow-up, but a lower degree of significance was registered in the group under medical treatment (p<0.02 vs. p<0.01). Neither group showed statistically significant dynamics of change in EF and QRSS values. The dynamics of change in regional motility between the groups was investigated using Pearson chi-square test. A statistically significant difference in the dynamics of change in all regional motility impairments was established, with the significance of difference of p<0.01 for hypokinetic segments, p<0.02 for akinetic, and p<0.001 for dyskinetic segments. A timely performed surgical revascularization allows for a significantly faster recovery of segmental contractility and a safer clinical course during one-year follow-up after AMI.

HIRURŠKA REVASKULARIZACIJA I EFEKAT NA PROGNOZU BOLESNIKA
NAKON AKUTNOG INFARKTA MIOKARDA
Kratak sadržaj: Oporavak vijabilnog hiberniranog miokarda, moguć je jedino nakon sprovedene hirurške revaskularizacije, za razliku od ošamućenog, gde je oporavak spontan. Cilj istraživanja bio je procena efekta terapije (medikamentne ili hirurške revaskularizacije) na klinički tok i ehokardiografski nalaz tokom jednogodišnjeg praćenja bolesnika nakon akutnog infarkta miokarda. Ispitivanjem je obuhvaćeno 195 pacijenata hospitalizovanih zbog akutnog infarkta miokarda.Pre otpusta, pacijenti su podvrgnuti DSE testu. Tokom perioda praćenja, a u roku od 3 meseca pacijenti su podvrgnuti koronarografiji i eventualnoj hirurškoj revaskularizaciji (ACB) (57 pacijenta) zavisno od postojanja vijabilnog miokarda i/ili rezidualne ishemije. Period praćenja je iznosio 12 meseci. Pacijenti su podeljeni u dve grupe: I-podvrgnuti ACB-u i II-tretirani medikamentima. Obe ove grupe su pokazale značajnu dinamiku promene WMSI tokom perioda praćenja, ali sa manjim stepenom značajnosti u grupi tretiranoj medikamentima (p<0.02 v. p<0.01). Vrednosti EF i QRSS nisu pokazale statistički značajnu dinamiku promene u obe grupe. Dinamika promene regionalnog motiliteta izmedju posmatranih grupa ispitivana je x2 testom.  Nadjena je statistički značajna razlika dinamike promene svih regionalnih poremećaja motiliteta, pri čemu je za hipokinetične segmente značajnost razlike iznosila p<0.01, za akinetične p<0.02, a za diskinetične p<0.001. Pravovremeno sprovedena hirurška revaskularizacija, omogućava značajno brži oporavak segmentne kontraktilnosti, i pruža bezbedniji klinički tok tokom jednogodišnjeg praćenja nakon AIM.
