Key result
Factors independently predicting return to work within 12 months after AMI included light/moderate previous labor (p=0.001), lower age (p=0.001), timolol treatment (p=0.009), and smoking cessation.

What factors predict return to work within 12 months in full-time employed men surviving an acute myocardial infarction?
Clinical history, exercise capacity, smoking cessation, and beta-blocker treatment with timolol are independent predictors of returning to work after an acute myocardial infarction.

Supports counseling on modifiable factors to aid return to work after AMI; hypothesis-generating for targeted interventions pending randomized confirmation.
Per K. R oslash nnevik (2008) conducted a cohort in Acute myocardial infarction (n=66). Clinical factors, exercise capacity, timolol treatment, and smoking cessation was evaluated on Resuming previous work within 12 months. Factors independently predicting return to work within 12 months after AMI included light/moderate previous labor (p=0.001), lower age (p=0.001), timolol treatment (p=0.009), and smoking cessation.
