Clinical characteristics, hospital morbidity and mortality, and up to 1-year follow-up events of acute myocardial infarction patients: the first report from Iran

Abstract: Although our patients were younger than myocardial infarction patients in developed countries, they had a higher rate of in-hospital mortality than those of the international statistics. This may be due, in part, to the lower rate of administration of primary reperfusion strategies in our center, namely primary percutaneous coronary intervention and thrombolytic therapy, which have proved to be effective in reducing the mortality from myocardial infarction in the west. Wider application of primary percutaneous… Show more

“…In a study conducted by Ghadimi et al in 2006, the in-hospital mortality rate was reported as high as 15.1% at Shariati Hospital, Tehran, Iran. 23 A more recent study by Ahmadi et al, conducted in 2012 on the pooled data of 20,750 patients with STEMI from 31 provinces of Iran, showed a 12.1% rate of in-hospital mortality. 24 With respect to in-hospital mortality among patients with STEMI in developed countries, rates of 5.1% in 2014 in Belgium and 5.5% in 2016 in Switzerland were reported.…”
