Key result

Socioeconomic status is linked to recurrent CVD events in AMI survivors.

  • n=29,226

Why the study?

A significant number of patients with cardiovascular disease or high cardiovascular risk do not achieve guideline-recommended secondary prevention standards, highlighting the need to understand psychological and social modulators of cardiovascular risk such as socioeconomic status.

Does socioeconomic status affect the risk of recurrent cardiovascular events in patients who survived their first acute myocardial infarction?

Population

29,226 patients who survived their first AMI for one year in Sweden

Comparison

Socioeconomic status estimated by disposable income, education level, and marital status

Design

Observational cohort study using secondary prevention quality registry data

Follow-up

1 year

Overview

SES evaluation in AMI survivors is hypothesis-generating; leaves open targeted secondary prevention strategies.

Structured PICO

Does socioeconomic status affect the risk of recurrent cardiovascular events in patients who survived their first acute myocardial infarction?

P
Population
29,226 patients (27% women) who survived their first acute myocardial infarction for one year, evaluated for the association between socioeconomic status and recurrent cardiovascular events.
E
Exposure
Socioeconomic status (SES) estimated by disposable income, level of education, and marital status
O
Outcome
First recurrent CVD event (non-fatal AMI, CVD death, fatal or non-fatal stroke) during follow-upcomposite

This editorial highlights the evaluation of socioeconomic status as a modulator of recurrent cardiovascular events in AMI survivors, emphasizing the importance of social determinants in secondary prevention.

Cite This Study

Bernhard Rauch (2018) conducted an editorial in Acute myocardial infarction (n=29,226). Socioeconomic status (SES) was evaluated on First recurrent CVD event (non-fatal AMI, CVD death, fatal or non-fatal stroke) during follow-up. Socioeconomic status was evaluated for its association with recurrent cardiovascular events in 29,226 AMI survivors, though quantitative results are not provided in the abstract.
