Description
Summary:Background ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a major public health problem. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and identify the determinants of STEMI-related complications in the Cardiology Intensive Care Unit of the Sud Francilien Hospital Center (SFHC). Methods We retrospectively analyzed the data of 315 patients with STEMI aged [greater than or equal to] 18 years. Logistic regression was used to identify factors independently associated with the occurrence of complications. Results Overall, 315 patients aged 61.7 [+ or -] 13.4 years, of whom 261 were men, had STEMI during the study period. The hospital frequency of STEMI was 12.7%. Arrhythmias and acute heart failure were the main complications. Age [greater than or equal to] 75 years (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 5.18; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.92-8.75), hypertension (aOR, 3.38; 95% CI, 1.68-5.82), and cigarette smoking (aOR, 3.52; 95% CI, 1.69-7.33) were independent determinants of acute heart failure. Meanwhile, diabetes mellitus (aOR, 1.74; 95% CI, 1.09-3.37), history of atrial fibrillation (aOR, 2.79; 95% CI, 1.66-4.76), history of stroke or transient ischemic attack (aOR, 1.99; 95% CI, 1.31-2.89), and low high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) levels (aOR, 3.70; 95% CI, 1.08-6.64) were independent determinants of arrhythmias. Conclusion STEMI is a frequent condition at SFHC and is often complicated by acute heart failure and arrhythmias. Patients aged [greater than or equal to] 75 years, those with hypertension or diabetes mellitus, smokers, those with a history of atrial fibrillation or stroke, and those with low HDL-C levels require careful monitoring for the early diagnosis and management of these complications.
