Impact of body mass index on outcomes after primary angioplasty in acute myocardial infarction

The prognostic importance of obesity after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is unknown. We therefore sought to investigate the impact of body mass index (BMI) in patients with AMI undergoing primary PCI. In the CADILLAC trial, 2082 p...

Description
Summary:The prognostic importance of obesity after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is unknown. We therefore sought to investigate the impact of body mass index (BMI) in patients with AMI undergoing primary PCI. In the CADILLAC trial, 2082 patients of any age with AMI within 12 hours onset undergoing primary PCI were randomized to balloon angioplasty versus stenting, each ±abciximab. Outcomes were stratified by baseline BMI. Baseline BMI was measured in 2035 (98%) randomized patients; 552 (27%) patients have normal weight (BMI
