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.

p-value: p=< .0001
Plasma endothelin concentration measured on day 3 after acute myocardial infarction is a strong, independent predictor of 1-year mortality.
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.
