D’IMPERIO, Heraldo et al. Acute Myocardial Infarction in Argentina. Third ARGEN-IAM-ST Registry Report and 8-Year Mortality Behavior. Rev. argent. cardiol. [online]. 2023, vol.91, n.6, pp.435-442. Epub 30-Nov-2023. ISSN 1850-3748. http://dx.doi.org/10.7775/rac.es.v91.i6.20712.
Background.
The continuous Argentine ST-segment Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction (ARGEN-IAM-ST) registry presents its third general report.
Objectives.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the main ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) markers of care and its complications in the continuous ARGEN-IAM-ST registry, and assess the outcome of reperfusion therapy and mortality in the last 8 years.
Methods.
This was a national, prospective, multicenter study, including STEMI patients with up to 36-hour evolution.
Results.
A total of 6765 patients, mean age 61±12 years, 65 % male , were included in the study. A significant burden of cardiovascular risk factors was observed: 58 % of patients had hypertension, 23 % diabetes, 42 % dyslipidemia, 37 % were active smokers, and 17 % had a family history of cardiovascular disease. In 13.5 % of cases, patients had prior history of coronary heart disease. On admission, 49 % presented with anterior AMI and 23 % with heart failure. Median (interquartile range, IQR) pain-consultation time was 120 minutes (IQR 60-285), door-to-needle time 50 minutes (IQR 25-110) and door-to-balloon time 100 minutes (IQR 58-190)
Overall in-hospital mortality was 8.8 %. An exploratory and descriptive analysis was performed to assess the variation in reperfusion and mortality over 8 years, showing no marked changes in mortality despite high reperfusion rates.
Conclusion.
In the last 8 years, the mortality recorded in the ARGEN-IAM-ST registry has remained at high values despite the high reperfusion rates reported.
