Abstract
Although considerable information is available regarding the prognosis after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in Western populations, little is known about the fate of Japanese subjects after AMI. The purpose of this study was to assess short-term mortality and factors influencing it after AMI in Japan. From April 1993 to December 1995, 1,014 patients with AMI from 41 hospitals in Yamagata Prefecture were registered by cardiologists for the prospective survey. Among patients who died within 28 days after the onset of AMI, immediate causes of death were examined and the clinical profiles of these subjects were compared with those of patients that survived. Early death occurred in 184 patients (short-term mortality 18%). Patients who died were significantly older than survivors (76.1+/-9.4 vs 67.6+/-11.8 years, p<0.01). They were also more likely to be women (50% vs 31%, p<0.01), to have had hypertension (64% vs 54%, p<0.05), diabetes mellitus (29% vs 20%, p<0.02), prior MI (17% vs 12%, p<0.05), or Killip class III or IV disease (63% vs 15%, p<0.01), and were significantly less likely to be current smokers (26% vs 45%, p<0.01) or to have been treated with reperfusion therapy (27% vs 63%, p<0.01).
