Abstract
Abstract Background Mood disorders, depression, and loneliness are known risk factors for thrombotic occlusions. Social relationships in general, and marital status in particular may play a role in predicting cardiovascular outcomes and survival after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), but the evidence is inconclusive, especially in Asians. We sought to analyze clinical outcomes following AMI according to insurance type and living type. Methods From July 2016 to Sept 2018, the Korean Registry of Regional Cardiocerebrovascular Center for Acute Myocardial Infarction database collected patients over 18 years old who suffered AMI. 3 months and 1-year all-cause death, CVA and re-MI (composite endpoint) were collected by telephone interview. Results Overall, the total of 463 all-cause death and 113 re-MI occurred. At 3-months, each group did not any differences in all-cause death and re-MI. At 1-year, however, the single & medical aid patients exhibited significantly higher all-cause death (6.8% vs 18.3%; p=0.000) and composite endpoint (12.5% vs 20.6%; p=0.000) compared to the live together & health insurance. Conclusion Social and economic status may be linked to 1-year all-cause death in Korean patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
