Impact of multimorbidity on risk stratification and prognosis in elderly patients after acute myocardial infarction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Elderly patients with first acute myocardial infarction (AMI) often have serious clinical features and worse prognoses. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the burden of comorbidity in predicting prognosis of elderly patients after AMI.

Methods

A total of 479 elderly patients with AMI divided into three groups: group A (with zero or one comorbidity), group B (with two comorbidities), and group C (with three or more comorbidities). The clinical characteristics, medication, in-hospital complications, and one-year prognosis of these patients were collected and compared across the three groups.

Results

Compared to group A, the age, heart rate, creatinine and uric acid, glucose, left atrial diameter (LAd), relative number of multi-vessel and culprit vessels
