Socioeconomic status and severity of illness on admission in acute myocardial infarction patients

Socioeconomic status and access to care and the incidence of a heart failure diagnosis in the inpatient and outpatient settings

“…Individuals with limited socioeconomic resources tend to make fewer ambulatory care visits, 19 are less likely to have a regular medical provider, 16,20 and more likely to delay care 20 in comparison with those from less deprived areas. 30…”

Higher education is associated with reduced risk of heart failure among patients with acute myocardial infarction: A nationwide analysis using data from the CVDNOR project

“…Deprived individuals (belonging to the first quintile of a SES score) had 2.4-times greater odds of early, severe HF compared to other patients. 17 The second study was a randomised clinical trial conducted in Israel during 1990–1992. It included 2951 patients with established CHD and followed them for an episode of incident HF (median follow-up time: 7.9 years).…”

“…To our knowledge, only two previous studies have focused on the role of SES in the development of HF among patients with CHD: an observational study including a small group of patients with AMI hospitalised to the coronary care unit (CCU) 17 and a secondary prevention randomised trial including patients with established CHD. 18…”

Effect of Socioeconomic Deprivation on the Population Risk of Incident Heart Failure Hospitalisation: An Analysis of the Renfrew/Paisley Study

“…antiplatelet drugs, statins) may be less in more deprived individuals [24–28]. Socioeconomic deprivation is also associated with later presentation of infarction (with less opportunity for myocardial salvage) [29,30], more heart failure at the time of infarction [31–33], more co‐morbidity (such as diabetes) [30,33] associated with a higher risk of subsequent heart failure and less use of secondary preventive treatments (and revascularisation) [30,32,33]. Smoking rates after infarction are also higher in deprived groups and, interestingly, smoking was associated with a significantly greater risk of incident heart failure hospitalisation in the Prevention arm of the Studies Of Left Ventricular Dysfunction (SOLVD‐P) [33,34].…”
