Evaluation of Frequency of Mortality and Risk Factors in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction referring to Peymanieh Hospital, Jahrom, Iran During the Years 2013-2017
Introduction: Coronary artery disease is one of the most common and most dangerous causes of mortality. Given the effect of modifiable
risk factors such as diabetes and hypertension in the outbreak of heart diseases, the development of cardiovascular diseases can be
prevented by controlling risk factors and improving lifestyle. This study aims to evaluate the frequency of mortality and risk factors in
patients with acute myocardial infarction
Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 500 medical records of
patients with myocardial infarction in Jahrom University of Medical Sciences hospitals. The demographic characteristics of the subjects
(age, sex, marital status, etc.) and the final status of patients after a heart attack, the presence of various risk factors including
hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and the symptoms that for their reason the patients referred to the hospital were recorded in the
data collection form. The data were analyzed using SPSS software.
Results: At first, a sample of 500 people was considered, and
according to exclusion criteria, 476 people were finally analyzed. Out of 476 patients, 66.8% were male and 33.2% were female. The
mean age of the patients was 64 years. There was a significant association between sex and the rate of myocardial infarction (P-value
<.05). There was no significant correlation between age and rate of myocardial infarction (P-value> .05). In this study, 39% of the
patients had diabetes, 33% had hypertension and 12.5% had dyslipidemia. Moreover, 5.04% of males and 9.5% of females died after
myocardial infarction. Conclusion: Myocardial infarction rate has dropped in recent years, but the prevalence of this disease is still
increasing
