Key result
Hypertension predominates in acute MI cohorts, accompanied by a ~19% in-hospital mortality rate.
Why the study?
Acute myocardial infarction remains a leading cause of death worldwide, with a need to better understand clinical profiles, risk factors, and outcomes in affected patients.
What are the clinical profile, risk factors, and outcomes of patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction at a tertiary care center?
Observational (n=100)

What are the clinical profile, risk factors, and outcomes of patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction at a tertiary care center?
In this Indian tertiary care cohort, acute myocardial infarction predominantly affected males over 60 years old, with hypertension being the most prevalent modifiable risk factor and an in-hospital mortality rate of 19%.
Hypertension predominates in this Indian AMI cohort; hypothesis-generating for targeted prevention to address the 19% mortality.
Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is one of the leading causes of death in the developed world. The prevalence of the disease approaches 3 million people worldwide, with more than 1 million deaths in the United States annually. AMI can be divided into 2 categories: non–ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Unstable angina resembles an NSTEMI, but normal cardiac markers distinguish it Aim & Objective: 1. Study clinical profile, risk factors and outcome in acute myocardial infarction patients.2.Study modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors of acute Myocardial infarction. 3. Study outcome in acute MI patients Methods: Study design: Prospective Observational Study. Study setting: Department of Cardiology, VDGMC SSH, Latur, Maharashtra, India. Study duration: from June 2025 to June 2026. Study population: The study population included all the cases with Myocardial infarction admitted at a Department of Cardiology, VDGMC SSH, Latur, Maharashtra, India. Sample size: 100 Results: Majority of cases presented with HTN 95%, followed by Diabetes 45%, Obesity 38%, low physical activity 35%, Hyperlipidemia 27%, and Tobacco 12%. majority of cases age above 30 years 100% and 12 patients had a Family history of MI. Majority of cases from 61-75 years age group 39 (39%) followed by 76 and above age group 32 (32%), 22 cases from 46-60 years age group and 7 cases from 30-45 years age group. majority of cases was male 80% and 20% female. majority of cases had a complain of chest pain 96, followed by Breathlessness 49, Radiating pain 37 cases, sweating 27 cases, vomiting 21 cases, abdominal pain was found in 4 cases and syncope in 4 cases. Majority of cases were discharged 80 cases and 19 cases were died, 1 case discharged against medical advice Conclusions: Hypertension is the most common Modifiable Risk factor for acute MI. Age above 30 years and Family history of MI is the most common Non modifiable risk factors for acute MI. Most common clinical features of acute MI were Chest pain

Gore et al. (2026) conducted an observational in Acute myocardial infarction (n=100). Risk factors (e.g., hypertension, diabetes, obesity) was evaluated on Clinical outcome (discharge vs death). Among 100 patients with acute myocardial infarction, hypertension was the most common modifiable risk factor (95%), and the mortality rate was 19%.
