Key result
Restrictive left ventricular filling after myocardial infarction was associated with higher rates of systolic dysfunction (63% vs 35%) and subsequent heart failure (32% vs 10%, P=0.012).
Why the study?
Does a restrictive left ventricular filling pattern predict heart failure and death in post-myocardial infarction patients?
Population
102 post-myocardial infarction subjects evaluated within 4 days
Comparison
Restrictive left ventricular filling pattern vs Nonrestrictive left ventricular filling pattern

May inform post-MI risk stratification; leaves open independent prognostic value beyond systolic function.

Does a restrictive left ventricular filling pattern predict heart failure and death in post-myocardial infarction patients?
Absolute Event Rate: 32% vs 10%
p-value: p=0.012
Restrictive LV filling post-MI is associated with higher heart failure risk, but patients with concomitant preserved systolic function have a relatively good prognosis.
Burgess et al. (2000) conducted a cohort in Myocardial Infarction (n=102). Restrictive left ventricular filling pattern vs. Nonrestrictive filling pattern was evaluated on Heart failure (p=0.012). Restrictive left ventricular filling after myocardial infarction was associated with higher rates of systolic dysfunction (63% vs 35%) and subsequent heart failure (32% vs 10%, P=0.012).
