Abstract
BACKGROUND: The current systematic review and pooled analysis were conducted to answer several questions using findings from case reports and case series as follows: (1) Demographic characteristics; (2) clinical findings; (3) management approach; and (4) prognosis of individuals diagnosed with intramyocardial dissecting hematoma.
METHODS: Electronic databases, including PubMed (Medline), Scopus, and Web of Science, were systematically searched from the earliest available date up to February 2023 using selected keywords. All analyses were performed using SPSS software version 27 (IBM Corp, Armonk, NY, USA), and a P-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
RESULTS: A total of 77 patients diagnosed with Intramyocardial dissecting hematoma (IDH) comprised the study population, with a mean (standard deviation) age of 58.72 (13.99) years, of which 22.1% were women. Patients of higher age experienced a higher risk for mortality compared to younger subjects (OR=1.05, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.10; P=0.014). In addition, the implementation of angiography (OR=0.25, 95% CI: 0.08, 0.71; P=0.010) and cardiac magnetic resonance (OR=0.19, 95% CI: 0.06, 0.60; P=0.004) in the context of diagnosis reduced the risk of death compared to those who did not receive these interventions. Similarly, the diagnosis of pericardial effusion significantly increased the risk of mortality compared to those without pericardial effusion (OR=3.92, 95% CI: 1.27, 12.07; P=0.017).
CONCLUSION: The authors found that older patients experience a poor prognosis compared to younger ones. In addition, the utilization of angiography and cardiac magnetic resonance improves the prognosis of individuals. Likewise, the diagnosis of pericardial effusion in patients with IDH increases the odds of mortality.
