Why the study?

Does plasma endothelin concentration on day 3 after acute myocardial infarction predict 1-year mortality?

Population

142 patients with documented acute myocardial infarction, average age 67.8 +/- 10.1 years.

Design

Cohort

Follow-up

1 year

Key result

Day 3 plasma endothelin concentrations were significantly related to 1-year mortality after acute myocardial infarction (P < .0001), independent of other clinical variables.

Cite This Study

Omland et al. (1994) conducted a cohort in acute myocardial infarction (n=142). Plasma endothelin concentrations was evaluated on 1-year mortality (p=< .0001). Day 3 plasma endothelin concentrations were significantly related to 1-year mortality after acute myocardial infarction (P < .0001), independent of other clinical variables.
