Aims: The temporal changes in clinical profiles and outcomes of high-risk myocardial infarction survivors enrolled in clinical trials are poorly described. This study compares mortality rates, baseline characteristics, and the prognostic impact of therapies among participants of the VALIANT and PARADISE-MI trials.
Methods And Results: Exclusively VALIANT participants who matched the inclusion criteria of the PARADISE-MI trial were included in the analysis.
Article Synopsis
- Heart failure is a common issue for patients with atrial fibrillation, making risk assessment crucial for clinicians.
- This study analyzed data from three large trials to evaluate how well NT-proBNP, hs-cTnT, and GDF-15 predict heart failure risk in these patients.
- Results showed that higher levels of these biomarkers correlate with a higher risk for cardiovascular death and heart failure-related hospitalization, enhancing the predictive accuracy of clinical assessments.
