Slow Gait Speed and Risk of Mortality or Hospital Readmission After Myocardial Infarction in the Translational Research Investigating Underlying Disparities in Recovery from Acute Myocardial Infarction: Patients' Health Status Registry

Objectives To determine the prognostic value of slow gait in predicting outcomes 1 year after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Design Observational cohort with longitudinal follow‐up. Setting Twenty‐four U.S. hospitals participating in the Translational Research Investigating Underlying disparitie...

Summary:Objectives To determine the prognostic value of slow gait in predicting outcomes 1 year after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Design Observational cohort with longitudinal follow‐up. Setting Twenty‐four U.S. hospitals participating in the Translational Research Investigating Underlying disparities in recovery from acute Myocardial infarction: Patients' Health status Registry. Participants Older adults (≥65) with in‐home gait assessment 1 month after AMI (N = 338). Measurements Baseline characteristics and 1‐year mortality or hospital readmission adjusted using Cox proportional hazards regression in older adults with slow (
