Incident heart failure and recurrent coronary events following acute myocardial infarction.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Recurrent myocardial infarction (MI) and incident heart failure (HF) are major post-MI complications. Herein, contemporary post-MI risks for recurrent MI and HF are described.

Methods

A total of 6804 patients with a primary discharge diagnosis of MI at 28 Baylor Scott & White Health hospitals (January 2015 to December 2021) were studied. Patient characteristics, treatment, and outcomes, including incident HF, recurrent MI, all-cause death, and all-cause and cardiovascular rehospitalizations, were assessed. Landmark approach anchored at 3 months post-discharge was used to assess 1-year outcomes.

Results

Median age was 69 years, 59.7% were male, and 76.7% had non-ST-elevation MI. Comorbidities included hypertension (89%), dyslipidaemia (87%), Type 2
