We report cases of angina pectoris or minimal acute myocardial infarction accompanied by pulmonary edema, which were retrospectively studied with regard to their clinical characteristics, prognosis and treatment. Sixteen patients, 5 males and 11 females with a mean age of 72.6 years, admitted to the Cardiovascular Center of Sendai between January 1986 and June 1989, were studied. Ten had previous myocardial infarction. Hypertension, chronic renal failure and diabetes mellitus were found in 10, 7 and 7 patients, respectively. Electrocardiograms during cardiac ischemic attacks showed ST elevation in 8 and ST depression in the other 8 patients. Coronary arteriography which was performed in 6 patients revealed three-vessel disease in 5, and two-vessel disease in one. Mechanical ventilation was indicative of 7, and intraaortic balloon counterpulsation in 2 patients. Coronary artery bypass graft surgery was performed for 3 patients. All patients recovered from pulmonary edema and were discharged. During the mean 15-month-follow-up period, 8 patients died. The causes of death were sudden cardiac death in 3, acute myocardial infarction in one, congestive heart failure in one, post-surgical death in one, and non-cardiac death in 2.
