Key result
A history of hypertension was an independent predictor of significantly higher mortality, left ventricular failure, and recurrent ischemic events during hospitalization and at 6 months.
Why the study?
Does a history of hypertension worsen prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction treated with thrombolysis?
Cohort (n=11,483)
Yes
Does a history of hypertension worsen prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction treated with thrombolysis?
A history of hypertension is an independent negative prognostic factor for mortality and morbidity in patients with acute myocardial infarction treated with thrombolysis.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
History of hypertension identifies higher-risk thrombolysis-treated AMI patients; supports risk stratification but leaves targeted interventions open.
Fresco et al. (1996) conducted a cohort in Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) treated with thrombolysis (n=11,483). History of hypertension vs. No history of hypertension was evaluated on Morbidity and mortality during hospital stay and the next 6 months. A history of hypertension was an independent predictor of significantly higher mortality, left ventricular failure, and recurrent ischemic events during hospitalization and at 6 months.
