Association between admission systolic blood pressure and major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with acute myocardial infarction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Several studies have previously demonstrated that higher systolic blood pressure level means lower risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes. However, there is a lack of further investigation into the nonlinear relationship between admission systolic blood pressure (SBP) and adverse outcomes of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients.

Objectives

The aim of this study was to investigate the specific relationship between admission SBP and incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in 30 days for AMI patients.

Methods and results

Using data from the ACS-QUIK trial, we analyzed 21,364 patients from Kerala, India. In univariate linear-regression model, the OR was 0.90 per 10mmHg, the confidence interval (CI) was 95% (0.87-0.92) and P < 0.0001. The
