“…Several studies have found that smokers had a lower mortality rate after AMI than nonsmokers (27,28). And patients who survived after MI were more likely to be smokers (29). The reduction of mortality may be related to the decrease of MI recurrence, and the reduction of recurrence may increase the patient's HRQoL.…”

Background: Dyslipidemia is an important risk factor for myocardial infarction (MI). This study aimed to examine the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and its predictors of patients with MI combined with dyslipidemia in China.Methods: Information on patients' sociological characteristics, lifestyle, clinical characteristics, and quality of life were collected by electronic medical records and questionnaires. Tobit regression model was used to investigate the predictors of quality of life.Results: There were 756 patients responded. The average EQ-5D score of all the patients was 0.95 (SD: 0.11). For all patients, factors such as age, high-fat and high-cholesterol diet, sports, family history of dyslipidemia, history of peripheral artery disease significantly affected HRQoL.Conclusions: Post-discharge care of the elderly group should be paid more attention to and suggestions on the healthy lifestyle (fat control) of the patients should be encouraged to improve the quality of life of these population.

“…The reduction of smoking prevalence decreased the direct medical costs and the mortality of MI that occur before people went to the hospital (27). However, Yegezu et al (28) observed that survivors with MI were more likely to be smoking patients, and a healthy diet could reduce fat intake, reducing the risk of dyslipidemia. Research showed that the Mediterranean diet reduced cardiovascular death, complications, and hospital admissions of MI (29).…”

Background: Dyslipidemia is a common comorbidity and an important risk factor for myocardial infarction (MI). This study aimed to examine the economic burden of MI combined with dyslipidemia in China.Methods: Patients who were hospitalized due to MI combined with dyslipidemia in 2016 were enrolled. Costs were measured based on electronic medical records and questionnaires. The annual costs were analyzed by conducting descriptive statistics, univariable, and multivariable analyses.Results: Data of 900 patients were analyzed, and 144 patients were dead during the follow-up. The majority of patients were aged 51–70 years (n = 563, 62.55%) and males (n = 706, 78.44%). For all-cause costs, the median annual direct medical costs, direct non-medical costs, indirect costs, and total costs were RMB 13,168 (5,212–29,369), RMB 600 (0–1,750), RMB 676 (0–1,787), RMB 15,361 (6,440–33,943), respectively; while for cardiovascular-related costs, the corresponding costs were RMB 12,233 (3,795–23,746), RMB 515 (0–1,680), RMB 587 (0–1,655), and RMB 14,223 (4,914–28,975), respectively. Lifestyle and complications significantly affected both all-cause costs and cardiovascular-related costs.Conclusions: Increasing attention should be paid to encourage healthy lifestyle, and evidence-based medicine should focus on optimal precautions and treatments for complications, to reduce the economic burden among MI patients with a comorbid dyslipidemia.
