“…According to the 2017 recommendations of the ESC [ 31 ], STEMI was defined as chest pain associated with the following: A new ST elevation at the J point in at least two contiguous or adjacent leads: in V2–V3 ≥ 0.2 mV (2 mm) in men after 40 years (≥ 0.25 mV before 40 years)) and ≥ 0.15 mV (1.5 mm) in females or ≥ 0.1 mV (1 mm) in other leads; a left bundle branch block in the presence of the Smith criteria [ 32 , 33 ]; or new ST depression from V1 to V3 (V4) on a 12-lead tracing, associated with ST elevation ≥ 0.5 mm in at least two leads from V7 to V9.…”

Background ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a major public health problem. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and identify the determinants of STEMI-related complications in the Cardiology Intensive Care Unit of the Sud Francilien Hospital Center (SFHC). Methods We retrospectively analyzed the data of 315 patients with STEMI aged ≥ 18 years. Logistic regression was used to identify factors independently associated with the occurrence of complications. Results Overall, 315 patients aged 61.7 ± 13.4 years, of whom 261 were men, had STEMI during the study period. The hospital frequency of STEMI was 12.7%. Arrhythmias and acute heart failure were the main complications. Age ≥ 75 years (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 5.18; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.92–8.75), hypertension (aOR, 3.38; 95% CI, 1.68–5.82), and cigarette smoking (aOR, 3.52; 95% CI, 1.69–7.33) were independent determinants of acute heart failure. Meanwhile, diabetes mellitus (aOR, 1.74; 95% CI, 1.09–3.37), history of atrial fibrillation (aOR, 2.79; 95% CI, 1.66–4.76), history of stroke or transient ischemic attack (aOR, 1.99; 95% CI, 1.31–2.89), and low high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) levels (aOR, 3.70; 95% CI, 1.08–6.64) were independent determinants of arrhythmias. Conclusion STEMI is a frequent condition at SFHC and is often complicated by acute heart failure and arrhythmias. Patients aged ≥ 75 years, those with hypertension or diabetes mellitus, smokers, those with a history of atrial fibrillation or stroke, and those with low HDL-C levels require careful monitoring for the early diagnosis and management of these complications.
