Why the study?
Does the development of in-hospital or postdischarge heart failure increase mortality in patients with incident acute myocardial infarction?
Population
Patients hospitalized with an incident acute myocardial infarction and without a history of prior heart…
Comparison
Development of in-hospital heart failure or… vs AMI patients who did not develop heart failure.
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
up to 1 year after AMI discharge
Key result
In-hospital heart failure following acute myocardial infarction increased in-hospital mortality (OR 1.79; 95% CI 1.68-1.91), and postdischarge heart failure increased all-cause mortality (HR 5.98).

HF after AMI marks high short- and long-term mortality risk; leaves open whether targeted prevention improves survival.
Cohort
Yes
Does the development of in-hospital or postdischarge heart failure increase mortality in patients with incident acute myocardial infarction?
Odds Ratio: 1.79 (95% CI 1.68–1.91)
The development of heart failure, either during hospitalization for an acute myocardial infarction or within 1 year post-discharge, is associated with a substantially increased risk of short- and long-term mortality.
Sulo et al. (2017) conducted a cohort in Acute Myocardial Infarction. Heart failure vs. No heart failure was evaluated on In-hospital mortality (OR 1.79, 95% CI 1.68-1.91). In-hospital heart failure following acute myocardial infarction increased in-hospital mortality (OR 1.79; 95% CI 1.68-1.91), and postdischarge heart failure increased all-cause mortality (HR 5.98).
