Predicting Pulmonary Infection in Acute Myocardial Infarction: Total Care of Cardiovascular and Non-Cardiovascular Outcomes

Abstract

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a fatal disease with adverse outcomes both during hospitalization and in the remote phase, despite widespread primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), mechanical support devices, medical therapy, and cardiac rehabilitation 1) . This indicates unmet clinical needs and residual risks in the contemporary clinical practice of post-AMI care. For this reason, cardiologists are often preoccupied with the management based mainly on the cardiovascular indices and risk factors in the acute care of AMI.
