The relative impact of components of high residual risk on the long-term prognosis after AMI.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The reduction in long-term mortality after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is less pronounced than that of in-hospital mortality among patients with AMI complicated by heart failure (HF) and/or in those with a high residual thrombotic risk (HTR).

Aim

To investigate the relative prognostic significance of HTR and HF in AMI survivors.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study enrolled patients admitted for AMI in 2014-2015 in all Italian hospitals. HTR was defined as at least one of the following conditions: previous AMI, ischemic stroke or other vascular disease, type 2 diabetes, renal failure. Patients were classified into four categories: uncomplicated AMI; AMI with HTR; AMI with HF and AMI with both HTR and HF (HTR + HF). Cox proportional hazard model was
