Prognosis of cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular multimorbidity after acute coronary syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To examine the prognosis of patients with cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular multimorbidity after acute coronary syndrome compared to patients without prior multimorbidity.

Methods

This multicenter prospective cohort study in Switzerland included 5,635 patients hospitalized with acute coronary syndrome between 2009 and 2014, with a one-year follow-up period. We defined cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular multimorbidity as having at least two prior comorbidities before the index hospitalization.

The final model was adjusted for age, gender, body mass index, to
