Key result
A history of hypertension did not significantly affect survival after acute myocardial infarction after adjusting for age (HR 1.04; 95% CI 0.9-1.2; p=0.6).
Why the study?
Does a history of hypertension worsen survival in patients after acute myocardial infarction receiving contemporary medical therapy?
Cohort (n=3,326)

p-value: p=0.6
A history of hypertension does not independently worsen survival after an acute myocardial infarction when patients receive contemporary medical therapy.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Does not support hypertension history as independent post-MI prognostic factor; leaves open effects of BP optimization in prospective trials.
Ali et al. (2004) conducted a cohort in acute myocardial infarction (n=3,326). History of hypertension vs. No history of hypertension was evaluated on Survival (HR 1.04, 95% CI 0.9-1.2, p=0.6). A history of hypertension did not significantly affect survival after acute myocardial infarction after adjusting for age (HR 1.04; 95% CI 0.9-1.2; p=0.6).
