Prevalence and prognostic implications of reduced left ventricular ejection fraction among patients with STEMI in India.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

To describe clinical characteristics and outcomes for those with STEMI and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs).

Methods and results

Adults presenting with STEMI to two government-owned tertiary care centres in Delhi, India were prospectively enrolled in the North India ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NORIN-STEMI) registry. LVEF was evaluated at presentation and clinical characteristics were compared across LVEF categories. Overall, 3597 patients were included, of whom 468 (13%) had LVEF >50%, 1482 (41%) had mildly reduced LVEF (40-49%), 1357 (38%) had moderately reduced LVEF (30-39%), and 290 (8%) had severely reduced LVEF (<30%). Presentation delay >24 h, prior MI, and hyperlipidaemia were associated w
