Early and long-term prognosis in patients with acute coronary syndrome
open access
Abstract
In long-term observation of HA patients as compared to NA patients, exacerbations of angina pectoris and repeated infarcts are more frequent particularly in patients with high systolic and low diastolic pressure or isolated arterial hypertension. Mortality in long-term observation is higher in HA patients than in NA patients. In HA patients, the severity of chronic hypertensive disease, the presence of other risk factors particularly such as diabetes and renal dysfunction have an unbeneficial effect on the course of myocardial infarction. In the group of elderly subjects, isolated systolic hypertension and high pulse pressure are the factors deteriorating the prognosis.
