“…266 Although crude hospital mortality in this study was higher in patients with hypertension (14.4% versus 12.4%, PϽ0.001), hypertension was not an independent predictor of mortality on multivariate analysis. Of note, patients with hypertension had a 17% lower risk of ventricular fibrillation but a 26% greater risk of AF in this analysis.…”

“…Another study in Ͼ12,000 patients (mean age 66 years) suggested that hypertension recorded during admission for acute MI is not independently associated with higher mortality (266). Although crude hospital mortality in this study was higher in patients with hypertension (14.4% versus 12.4%, pϽ0.001), hypertension was not an independent predictor of mortality on multivariate analysis.…”

“…Similar to previous studies [5,10,12,[38][39][40][41] our data revealed important differences in demographic and clinical parameters in antecedent hypertensives with AMI compared with normotensives. The hypertensive patients were more likely to be older, female, and had a higher prevalence of comorbidities, including diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, angina pectoris, heart failure, chronic renal failure, and percutaneous coronary intervention at admission.…”

“…According to different studies, the prevalence of antecedent hypertension in patients with AMI varies from 18 to 71%, depending on the criteria of selection of the study population and on cohort characteristics [4][5][6][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Although exact mechanisms are not clear, the increased incidence of adverse cardiovascular outcomes in hypertensive patients suffering from AMI seems to be related to endothelial damage, atherosclerosis, insulin resistance, left ventricular hypertrophy and ventricular arrhythmias [15].…”
