Why the study?
Does the presence or development of acute heart failure impact mortality in AMI patients treated with primary PCI?
Does the presence or development of acute heart failure impact mortality in AMI patients treated with primary PCI?
In AMI patients treated with primary PCI, the development of heart failure during hospitalization carries a particularly severe prognosis compared to HF present on admission.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Post-admission HF development signals highest mortality in AMI-PCI patients; leaves open whether targeted prevention improves survival.
Santoro et al. (2008) studied this question.
