Abstract

Objective: To analyze contemporary trends in the incidence, management, and clinical outcomes of heart failure (HF) complications in patients hospitalized for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in the United States.

Patients and Methods: Using the 2003 through 2010 Nationwide Inpatient Sample databases, all patients with STEMI who were 18 years and older with acute HF were identified. Overall trends in the incidence of HF, coronary intervention, and in-hospital mortality were analyzed.

Results: Of 1,990,002 hospitalizations with a primary diagnosis of STEMI, 471,525 (23.7%) had HF complication (decreasing from 25.4% [95% CI, 25.3%-25.6%] in 2003 to 20.7% [95% CI, 20.5%-20.8%]) in 2010 (

Conclusion: The incidence and in-hospital mortality of HF-complicated STEMI has decreased significantly during recent times along with increased use of percutaneous coronary intervention and diagnostic coronary angiography.
