Multimorbidity, functional impairment, and mortality in older patients stable after prior acute myocardial infarction: Insights from the TIGRIS registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Data on the association of multimorbidity and functional impairment with cardiovascular (CV) and non-CV outcomes among older myocardial infarction (MI) patients are limited.

Hypothesis

Multimorbidity and functional impairment among older MI patients are associated with CV and non-CV mortality.

Methods

Patients aged ≥65 years, 1-3 years post-MI, and enrolled between June 2013 and Novemeber 2014 from 349 sites in 25 countries in the global TIGRIS registry were categorized by age, number of comorbidities, and presence and degree of functional impairment.

The association between age, number of comorbid conditions, and degree of fun
