0326: Prognostic factors and impact of blood pressure level during the first 48 hours after myocardial infarction
Background High blood pressure and low blood pressure are perfectly identified cardio-vascular risk factors, especially in primary prevention. However, their respective role after myocardial infarction is uncertain, with few data available. Objectives To compare cardio-vascular deaths and events after myocardial infarction between the different blood pressure levels observed during the first forty-eight hours. Methods We carried out an observational, prospective, monocentric study, including all consecutive patients admitted in Dijon’s Cardiologic Intensive Care Unit for myocardial infarction, between February 2012 and February 2014. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) was defined as the average …
0128: CHA2DS2-VASc score estimates in-hospital mortality beyond GRACE score after acute myocardial infarction
International audience; Background and aimsCHA2DS2VASc score have recently been suggested to predict death in patients with Atrial Fibrillation (AF). In acute myocardial infarction (AMI), silent AF is more common than symptomatic AF and associated with poor prognosis. In patients with AMI, we aimed to assess the distribution of CHA2DS2VASc score in patients with silent or symptomatic AF and the association of the score with mortality.Methods849 consecutive AMI were prospectively analyzed by continuous ECG monitoring (CEM) 30 sec. Symptomatic AF was defined as any AF occurring on ECG during the hospital stay, resulting in clinical symptoms or need for urgent cardioversion. The population was…
