Overview

May flag excess non-CV mortality risk post-MI in COPD; leaves open whether targeted interventions improve outcomes.

Structured PICO

Does chronic obstructive pulmonary disease predict death and atherosclerotic events in patients with acute myocardial infarction?

P
Population
14,703 patients with acute myocardial infarction enrolled in the Valsartan in Acute Myocardial Infarction (VALIANT) trial
I
Intervention
Presence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
C
Comparator
Absence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
O
Outcome
All-cause mortality, non-CV death, sudden death, and atherosclerotic events (MI or stroke) over a median follow-up of 24.7 monthshard clinical

In patients with acute myocardial infarction, COPD is an independent predictor of all-cause and sudden death, but does not increase the risk of subsequent atherosclerotic events.
