Risk factors and co-morbidities role in clinical course of acute myocardial infarction associated with arterial hypertension

Abstract

Clinical course of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), associated with arterial hypertension (AH), is characterized by restricted infarction size and frequent pericarditis complications. The most important risk factors for AMI and AH combination are hypercholesterolemia, overweight status, and diabetes mellitus, as well as cerbrovascular pathology and chronic cholecystitis. Acute and chronic heart failure rates were similar in AMI with or without AH.
