Higher incidence of hypotension episodes in women during the sub-acute phase of ST elevation myocardial infarction and relationship to covariates

Figures

• 

  Fig 1. Panel A—probability of hypotension episodes in 92 patients. Panel B—differences between females (red line) and males (blue line). Panel C—the differences in patients above (continuous line) and below (dotted line) median age in the complete population. Panel D—the age-related analysis shown separately in females (red lines) and males (blue lines). Continuous and dashed lines show patients above and below age median, respectively. AMI—acute myocardial infarction.

  Fig 2. Panel A—probability of hypotension episodes in patients above (continuous line) and below (dashed line) troponin T median of the complete population. Panel B—the differences according to BNP values above (continuous line) and below (dashed line) median of the complete population. Panel C—troponin T-related analysis shown separately in females and males. Panel D—BNP-related analysis shown separately in females and males. In panels C and D, red and blue lines show female and male subgroups, respectively, the continuous and dashed lines show patients above and below sex-specific median values, respectively. BNP—brain natriuretic peptide, AMI—acute myocardial infarction.

  Fig 3. Panel A—probability of hypotension episodes in patients below (continuous line) and above (dashed line) BSA median of the complete population. Panel B—the differences according to LBM values below (continuous line) and above (dashed line) median of the complete population. Panel C—BSA-related analysis shown separately in females and males. Panel D—LBM-related analysis shown separately in females and males. In panels C and D, red and blue lines show female and male subgroups, respectively, the continuous and dashed lines show patients below and above sex-specific median values, respectively. BSA—body surface area, LBM—lean body mass, AMI—acute myocardial infarction.

  Fig 4. Proportions of patients treated with ACEI/ARB and betablockers are shown before the admission due to acute STEMI (previous treatment), during first and second day of hospitalization, and at discharge separately in women (top panels) and men (bottom panels). Statistically significant differences between patients with and without hypotension are marked with asterisk. STEMI—ST elevation myocardial infarction, ACEI—angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, ARB—angiotensin receptor blocker.

  Fig 5. Kaplan-Meier analysis of probability of death in study patients. Panel A—comparison of patients without (yellow line) and with hypotension episodes (brown line). Panel B—a comparison of hypotension patients with (violet line) and without ACEI/ARB treatment (blue line) at discharge. ACEI—angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, ARB—angiotensin receptor blocker.
