Comparative analysis of recurrent events after presentation with an index myocardial infarction or ischaemic stroke

ABSTRACT


AIMS - Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and stroke are important causes of mortality and morbidity. Our aims are to determine the comparative epidemiology of AMI and ischaemic stroke; and examine the differences in cardiovascular outcomes or mortality occurring after an AMI or stroke.


METHODS AND RESULTS - The Singapore National Registry of Diseases Office collects countrywide data on AMI, stroke, and mortality. Index events of AMI and ischaemic stroke between 2007 and 2012 were identified. Patients were then matched for occurrences of subsequent AMI, stroke, or death within 1-year of the index event. There were 33 222 patients with first-ever AMI and 20 982 with first-ever stroke. AMI patients were significantly more likely to be men (66.3% vs. 56.9%), non-Chinese (32.1% vs. 24.1%), and smokers (43.1% vs. 38.6%), but less likely to have hypertension (65.6% vs. 79%) and hyperlipidaemia (61.1% vs. 65.5%), compared with stroke patients. In total 6.8% of the AMI patients had recurrent AMI, whereas 4.8% of the stroke patients had recurrent stroke within 1 year; 31.7% of the AMI patients died, whereas 17.1% of the ischaemic stroke patients died within 1 year. Older age, Malay ethnicity, and diabetes mellitus were statistically significant risk factors for all-cause mortality and for the composite endpoint of AMI, stroke, and all-cause mortality, at 1 year.


CONCLUSIONS - Risk profiles of patients with AMI and stroke are significantly different. Patients suffer recurrent events in vascular territories similar to the index event. Age and diabetes mellitus are significant predictors of recurrent vascular events and mortality.
