Combination of Site of Infarct, Unrecognized Glucose Intolerance, and Reinfarction After Acute Myocardial Infarction in Normotensive Subjects Is Determinant of the Development of Subsequent Systemic Hypertension: A Pilot Study

Abstract

Progression to hypertension in normotensive subjects after AMI is determined by a combination of the site of the infarct, GTT 2 months after AMI, and subsequent development of a second MI. Systemic hypertension after AMI is associated with a high mortality.
