Introduction
In-hospital incomplete and terminated at discharge myocardial revascularization has significant impact on mortality after acute myocardial infarction (AMI), also in patients (pts) with reduced left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤35%. However, subjects with LVEF >35%, who are not candidates for implantable cardioverter defibrillators, are still at risk. Authors hypothesized, that in those pts, the prognosis could be related to completeness of revascularization.
Purpose
To evaluate the risk of death and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) among pts with AMI and LVEF>35% in relation to myocardial revascularization status.
Methods
Single center prospective study encompassed 445-pts with AMI and LVEF>35%, who were treated with percutaneous coronary intervention and who survived in-hospital period. Study population was divided into two groups: group 1. – 73-pts with in-hospital incomplete and terminated revascularization at discharge; group 2. – 372-pts with complete or incomplete revascularization, in whom scheduled procedures were planned and performed (either percutaneous or surgical). The incidence of death and MACE was compared between groups during mean follow-up of 47.5 months after AMI. MACE was defined as a composite of death, recurrent AMI, non-scheduled revascularization, acute heart failure, stroke. Independent predictors for death were identified with multivariate Cox-regression models and expressed as hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI).
Results
Patients in group 1. had higher mortality rate than in group 2. (26.4% vs. 9.1%; p |
