Prognostic Value of Ejection Fraction in Patients Admitted with Non-ST-Segment Elevatin Myocardial Infarction

Abstract

Despite the progress in correcting cardiovascular risk factors and pharmacological and interventional therapy, acute myocardial infarction continues to be a major cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide.In literature exist limited information about the factors that affect the outcomes of acute myocardial infarction at patients with a different degree of left ventricular dysfunction. Our aim was to identify the factors associated with LV ejection fraction (LVEF) at first admission to patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
