Abstract
Background. - Cancer and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have important prognostic consequences. Treatment of some cancers may affect coronary artery disease, myocardial function and/or AMI management. Whether the early and long-term mortality of patients with AMI differ according to their history of cancer remains questionable. Aims. - To determine in-hospital outcomes and 5-year mortality following AMI according to patient history of cancer. Methods. - The FAST-MI registry is a nationwide French survey collecting data on characteristics, management and outcomes of 3670 consecutive patients admitted for AMI during October 2005. Results. - Overall, 246/3664 patients (6.7%) admitted for an AMI (47.6% with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction [STEMI]; 52.4% with non-STEMI [NSTEMI]) had a history of cancer. In-hospital mortality was not significantly different for patients with versus without a history of cancer, overall (adjusted odds ratio [OR]: 1.15, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.68-1.94; P= 0.61) and in patients with STEMI (adjusted OR: 1.37, 95% CI: 0.69-2.71; P= 0.37) or NSTEMI (adjusted OR: 0.97, 95% CI: 0.41-2.28; P= 0.95). All-cause mortality at 5 years was higher among patients with a history of cancer (adjusted hazard ratio [HR]: 1.36, 95% CI: 1.08-1.69; P= 0.008), whereas 5-year cardiovascular mortality did not differ (adjusted HR: 1.17, 95% CI: 0.89-1.53; P=0.25), regardless of whether the patients had STEMI or NSTEMI. Similar results were found in populations matched on a propensity score including baseline characteristics and early management. Conclusion. - A history of cancer, per se, does not appear to be a risk factor for increased in-hospital mortality or long-term cardiovascular mortality in patients admitted for AMI.
