Summary: | Patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) are prone to develop acute myocardial infarction (AMI) at a younger age.
The aim of the present study was to assess 5-year outcomes after AMI according to the presence of FH in a large multicenter cohort of patients.
The French registry of Acute ST-elevation and non-ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction consists of nationwide surveys recruiting patients over a 1- to 2-month period every 5 years. Patients recruited in 2005 and 2010 were followed up to 5 years.
Of 5147 patients discharged alive and in whom FH status could be assessed, 2.8% had probable/definite FH, using an adapted Dutch Lipid Clinic score. They were 12 years younger, on average, than non-FH patients. Before adjustment, their 5-year survival and event-free survival did not differ from non-FH patients. After adjustment, however, both mortality (hazard ratio [HR] 1.82, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.15–2.89; P = .011) and the combined endpoint of death, AMI, or stroke (HR 2.22, 95% CI: 1.51–3.26; P |
