Key result
Acute heart failure complicating acute myocardial infarction was associated with a significantly higher mortality rate compared to uncomplicated cases (38% vs 3.4%, p<0.001).
Why the study?
The study was designed to establish the prevalence of acute heart failure in patients with acute myocardial infarction and determine sex-age characteristics when complicated by high-class acute heart failure (Killip III and Killip IV).
Population
828 inpatients with acute myocardial infarction
Comparison
Acute heart failure (Killip III and IV) vs uncomplicated acute myocardial infarction
Design
Retrospective medical records study

Acute myocardial infarction complicated by high-class acute heart failure is associated with older age, higher comorbidity burden, and significantly increased mortality.
Solomonchuk et al. (2022) conducted an observational in Acute myocardial infarction (n=828). Acute heart failure (Killip III and IV) vs. Uncomplicated acute myocardial infarction was evaluated on Mortality (p=<0.001). Acute heart failure complicating acute myocardial infarction was associated with a significantly higher mortality rate compared to uncomplicated cases (38% vs 3.4%, p<0.001).
