title: In-hospital mortality and time from onset of symptoms of acute myocardial infarction in 540 patients undergoing primary coronary angioplasty. Comparison between blacks, whites and patients of other races, and between men and women.
abstract: The time from the onset of symptoms of acute myocardial infarction to primary coronary angioplasty was 18 +/- 23 h in 386 men and 19 +/- 24 h in 154 women (p not significant) and 14 +/- 19 h in 27 blacks, 19 +/- 23 h in 493 whites, and 13 +/- 11 h in 20 patients of different races (p not significant). In-hospital mortality was 6% in 144 patients aged > or =70 years and 1% in 396 patients <70 years (p < 0.005). In-hospital mortality was 2% in 386 men and 4% in 154 women (p not significant). In-hospital mortality was 2% in 493 whites, 4% in 27 blacks, and 0% in 20 patients of other races (p not significant). In-hospital mortality was 6% in 143 patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <40% and 1% in 397 patients with a LVEF > or =40% (p < 0.005). In-hospital mortality was 5% in 223 patients with a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) <90 ml/min and 1% in 317 patients with a GFR > or =90 ml/min (p < 0.005).
