ObjectiveTo investigate the influence of percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) on cardiac function of elderly patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy. MethodsEighty-eight elderly patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy were randomly divided into observation group and control group, 44 cases in each group. The control group were given basic drug treatment according to the pathogenetic condition. The observation group, based on the control group, were given PCI treatment. Before treatment and 1 month after treatment, the levels of serum creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB), troponin I (TnI) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) were detected. Echocardiography was used to detect left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). The above indexes were compared between the two groups. ResultsAfter treatment, CK-MB (0.12±0.06) μg/L, TnI (0.29±0.04) ng/mL and BNP (62.21±3.12) ng/mL in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ［(0.23±0.15) μg/L, (0.34±0.02) ng/mL, (69.81±5.27) ng/mL］ (P＜0.05); LVEDD (45.43±4.35) mm of the observation group was significantly shorter than (52.11±6.12) mm of the control group , while LVEF of the observation group (52.87±6.2)% was significantly higher than (41.56±5.2)% of the control group (P＜0.05). ConclusionPCI can effectively improve myocardial perfusion and promote the recovery of cardiac function. It plays an important role in the treatment of elderly patients with cardiac insufficiency induced by ischemic cardiomyopathy.
