Risk Factors and Outcomes of Acute Myocardial Infarction in a Cohort of Antiphospholipid Syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a disorder associated with thromboembolic diseases, including acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Given that AMI is a relatively common condition with poor prognostic features, identification of risk factors for AMI in APS is important.

Methods

A retrospective cohort study was performed consisting of 332 patients with APS, and 239 patients with thrombotic APS were finally included. Patients were followed up in the outpatient department for 5 years. Clinical data and laboratory parameters were analyzed to identify the risk factors for AMI in APS. The primary and secondary clinical outcomes were all-cause mortality and recurrence of thrombosis, respectively.

Results

AMI was observed in 12.1% (29/239) of patients with APS. Com
