Key result
Multiple CHD risk factors linked to earlier first MI but lower hospital mortality vs fewer factors.

Population
Patients presenting with their first myocardial infarction (MI)
Comparison
Multiple coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factors vs Fewer or no CHD risk factors

Challenges expectations of higher acute mortality with greater risk factor burden; leaves open mechanisms and confounders in observational data.

Does having multiple CHD risk factors affect hospital mortality in patients presenting with their first MI?
Paradoxically, patients with multiple CHD risk factors who present with their first MI do so earlier in life but experience lower hospital mortality compared to those with fewer or no risk factors.
Gaetano Santulli (2012) conducted an observational in First myocardial infarction (MI). Multiple CHD risk factors vs. Fewer or no CHD risk factors was evaluated on Hospital mortality. Patients with multiple CHD risk factors presented earlier in life with their first MI and had lower hospital mortality than patients with fewer or no risk factors.
