“…The majority of these studies had limitations because the patient populations that were recruited were not representative of the total MI population in the geographic areas under study. However, two recent studies reported findings which are consistent with our results, with a lower mortality in women than in men [28,29].…”

Mortality after myocardial infarction: impact of gender and smoking status

We have shown previously that smoking causes a first myocardial infarction (MI) to occur significantly more prematurely in women than in men. The aim of the study was to investigate mortality after MI with special emphasis on the impact of smoking and gender. The study included 2,281 consecutive patients (36.8% women) who died or were discharged from a central hospital with a diagnosis of MI from 1998 to 2005; the median follow-up of survivors was 7 years. Death after MI was adjusted for confounders. Mean age for women was 5.8 years older than for men (76.0 vs. 70.2 years) and women were less likely to have been smokers. In-hospital mortality for the first MI was 8.9% for men and 13.3% for women, and total mortality rates for all indexed MI after 7 years were 47% for men and 61% for women. Using Cox regression analysis, with all indexed MIs included, the after-discharge mortality for women was significantly lower than for men (hazard ratio 0.82; 95% confidence interval 0.70-0.96; P = 0.015). Compared with non-smokers, patients who were smokers on admission had significantly increased seven-year mortality after discharge (hazard ratio 1.30; 95% confidence interval 1.03-1.63; P = 0.002). In conclusion, current smoking at the time of the indexed MI was associated with increased mortality after 7 years follow-up. The smoking effect was independent of gender. Female gender was associated with a moderately lower risk of death during the same follow-up period.

“…Survey 2: comprises patients (n = 1423) hospitalised and discharged (dead or alive) from hospital between 1 July 2001 and 30 June 2002 in the City of Göteborg with a diagnosis of AMI (according to the responsible physician) or unstable angina pectoris if associated with an elevation of biochemical markers (CKMb N 5 μg/l or troponin T N 0.05 μg/l) [12].…”

“…[25][26][27][28][29][30][31] In addition, these clinical variables also have been proved to be AKI predictors in cardiovascular patients. [32][33][34][35][36] In the present study, by adjusting the baseline risk factors, inflammatory markers, severity of AMI and treatment in the multivariate analysis, initial eGFR and hs-CRP level on admission were independent predictors for AKI occurrence during the first week of an AMI patient's hospitalization.…”
