Introduction Objectives were to determine the clinical, epidemiological and biological profile of the patients suffering from acute coronary syndrome and presenting the anaemia, the determinants of variation of the haemoglobin rate, and to estimate the impact of the anaemia on the prognosis of these patients. Patients and methods Retrospective and observational study conducted in the cardiology department of Vichy Hospital in France. All patients with acute coronary syndrome admitted from 31 of October 2015 to 30 of April 2016 were selected. The patients were followed for 1 month. The anaemia was defined by: less than 13g/dL in man and less than 12g/L in woman (WHO definition). Biological markers were taken at the admission. Factors associated to the haemoglobin rate were analysed by multivariate linear regression and those associated to the mortality within 30 days were analysed by logistic regression. Results Among 251 included patients, there were 180 males and 71 females with the average age of 67 years. 94 patients had ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), 116 had Non ST myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and 41 had unstable angina. Haemoglobin value was known in 238 patient's, among whom 44.1% were anaemic (105/238). The anaemia was more frequent in women. The tobacco was less frequent; High blood pressure, renal failure, malnutrition, subclinical atherosclerosis, lower limb arteritis and the inflammatory syndrome were more frequent in patients with anaemia. They presented more complications. The age (P=0,003), the pulsed pressure (P=0,007), LVEF (P=0,005), the albumin (P=0,010), Creatine kinase (CK) level (P=0,048) and of CRP (P=0,011), were linear factors of variations of the haemoglobin rate (R2=0,955). Ten patients died during the follow-up. The multivariate analysis revealed the anaemia as independently associated with the mortality in 30 days (Odds Ratio 3,69; P=0,02). Conclusion Anaemia is frequent in patients with an ACS, and it is associated with a particular clinical and biological profile. The patients with anaemia have a mortality rate in 30 days higher than the patients without anaemia. |
