Pre-infarction Angina: Time Interval to Onset of Myocardial Infarction and Comorbidity Predictors.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

As part of efforts to identify candidates for patient education aimed at decreasing mortality from acute myocardial infarction, we investigated the prevalence of pre-infarction angina and its predictors among comorbidities in patients who were hospitalized with acute myocardial infarction (MI).

Methods

We conducted a prospective multicenter observational registry of MI patients from 1998 to 2014 (N = 12,093). The present study investigated the prevalence of pre-infarction angina and its predictors among comorbidities with a logistic regression model. Pre-infarction angina was defined as chest pain/oppression observed within 1 month before the onset of MI but which lasted <30 min.

Results

After excluding 976 (8.1%) patients with missing data on pre-infarcti
