Population

30 patients with myocardial infarction admitted to a cardiac care unit

Design

Cohort

Follow-up

five days

Implication

Should not yet guide post-MI care; leaves open whether catecholamine trajectories predict or reflect complications.

Structured PICO

P
Population
30 patients with myocardial infarction admitted to a cardiac care unit
C
Comparator
Patients with uncomplicated hospital courses, primary ventricular fibrillation, or complete atrioventricular block compared to patients with multiple complications (particularly hemodynamic)
O
Outcome
Pattern of urinary excretion of norepinephrine and epinephrine over five dayssurrogate

Urinary catecholamine excretion patterns in the first five days post-myocardial infarction differ based on the presence of hemodynamic complications.
