Prognostic value of D-dimer in acute myocardial infarction complicated by heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

The prevalence of heart failure (HF) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is common. Contemporary data are lacking on the prognostic utility of the measurement of biomarker for patients with AMI complicated by HF according to preserved (HFpEF) and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). We aim to assess the association between D-dimer levels and all-cause mortality in patients with AMI complicated by different HF subtypes during hospitalization in the context of other risk factors.

Methods and results

We enrolled 4495 patients with AMI with complete clinical and laboratory variable assessments in this cohort. D-dimer levels were measured on admission immediately at baseline. We used Cox proportional hazards analysis to assess this association accounting for 18 relevant cl
