Article Synopsis
- A recent study found that about 50% of patients experiencing their first ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) without standard modifiable cardiovascular risk factors (SMuRFs) had excess early mortality compared to those with SMuRFs.
- Researchers analyzed data from 10 clinical trials, comparing 2,862 STEMI patients, with 524 of them identified as SMuRF-less.
- Results indicated that SMuRF-less patients were more likely to have poor blood flow before intervention, but there were no significant differences in infarct size, heart function, or 30-day and 1-year mortality rates between the two groups.
