Article Synopsis
- The meta-analysis examines how sex affects mortality risk in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) who lack standard modifiable risk factors (referred to as SMuRF-less) compared to those who have at least one risk factor (SMuRF).
- It analyzed data from eight studies, revealing that women in the SMuRF-less group had higher in-hospital mortality rates than men, while men showed no significant increase in mortality.
- The findings indicate that women without cardiovascular risk factors face greater short- and medium-term mortality risks after an ACS event compared to their male counterparts.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) affects long-term survival in patients who have suffered an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) across different body weight categories.
- The four patient groups analyzed were obesity MASLD, non-obesity MASLD, obesity non-MASLD, and non-obesity non-MASLD, with findings showing that non-obesity MASLD had the highest risk of heart failure and long-term mortality.
- The results indicate that both obesity and non-obesity MASLD are significant predictors of all-cause mortality post-AMI, particularly highlighting the greater risk associated with non-obesity MASLD.
Aim: Patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) are at increased risk of incident cardiovascular disease. However, the clinical characteristics and prognostic importance of MASLD in patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have yet to be examined.
Methods: This study compared the characteristics and outcomes of patients with and without MASLD presenting with AMI at a tertiary centre in Singapore.
