Effects of Hypertension on Two-Year Outcomes According to Glycemic Status in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction Receiving Newer-Generation Drug-Eluting Stents

초록

The effects of hypertension on long-term outcomes according to glycemic status in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) after successful implantation of newer-generation drug-eluting stents (DES) have not been fully investigated. In this retrospective cohort study, a total of 11,911 patients were classified into 6 groups according to their glycemic status and presence or absence of hypertension. The major outcome was major adverse cardiac events (MACE), defined as all-cause death, recurrent myocardial infarction (Re-MI), or any revascularization. In patients without hypertension, the major outcomes were similar between the normoglycemia and prediabetes groups. However, MACE, all-cause death, cardiac death (CD), Re-MI rates were higher in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) than in normoglycemic patients. Additionally, Re-MI was higher in patients with T2DM than in prediabetic patients. In patients with hypertension, although the major outcomes were similar between the prediabetes and T2DM groups, in both the prediabetes and T2DM groups, MACE, all-cause death, and CD rates were higher than those in the normoglycemia group. During a 2-year follow-up, the comparable harmful effects of hypertension in patients with AMI and prediabetes or T2DM were observed. Effective blood pressure and glucose control should be strengthened to reduce mortality in these patients.
