A study has shown that people who have suffered a ‘silent killer’ myocardial infarction have a significantly higher risk of developing heart failure and diabetes. The proportion of people suffering from various metabolic diseases as well as emotional diseases such as depression was also high.
According to foreign medical news outlets such as Medical Express on the 18th (local time), a research team from the University of Leeds in the UK analyzed and reported on the medical records of patients aged 18 or older who received hospital treatment between 2008 and 2017. results in the international academic journal ‘PLoS Medicine’ It was published in the latest issue of (PLoS Medicine).
The records used in the study included data on 433,361 people who were hospitalized for a first myocardial infarction and who were re-treated for 11 non-fatal diseases over a 9-year period. Their average age was 67 years old, and their gender ratio was 66% male. The research team compared them with 2,001,310 control subjects without a history of myocardial infarction by matching them for age and sex.
As a result, the myocardial infarction group showed significantly higher incidence rates of 11 diseases, including heart failure, renal failure, atrial fibrillation, stroke, peripheral artery disease, severe bleeding, type 2 diabetes, and depression, than the control group. . In particular, heart failure occurred in 29.6% of patients who had suffered a myocardial infarction, but the incidence rate in the control group was only 9.8%, a threefold difference. Renal failure was also present in 27.2% of the myocardial infarction group and 19.8% of the control group.
In addition, the prevalence of atrial fibrillation in the myocardial infarction group and the control group was 22.3% and 16.8%, respectively, and the prevalence of diabetes was 17% and 14.3%. Major bleeding occurred in 19% of the myocardial infarction group and 18.4% of the control group, cerebrovascular disease occurred in 12.5% of the myocardial infarction group and 11.6% of the control group, and arterial disease occurred marginal in 6.5% of the control group. myocardial infarction group and 4.06% of the control group.
The same was true of depression, an emotional illness. The rate was higher at 8.9% in the myocardial infarction group than at 6% in the control group. In this case, the risk of depression was higher for women than for men, and the prevalence of depression among young women under 40 at the time of myocardial infarction was 21.5%, which was unusually higher than men. at 11.5%. .
However, the cancer incidence rate in the myocardial infarction group was 13.5%, which was lower than the 21.5% in the control group. Regarding this, the research team added that it is not clear if there is a particular reason, so additional research is needed. In addition, there was little difference in the incidence of dementia. However, the incidence of vascular dementia was slightly higher in the myocardial infarction group at 2.3% than in the control group, which was 2.1%.
