A STUDY ON THE PREVALENCE AND ASSOCIATED FACTORS OF HEART FAILURE WITH PRESERVED EJECTION FRACTION IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION AT CAN THO CITY GENERAL HOSPITAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: To investigate the prevalence of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and associated factors in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Materials and methods: a cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on patients diagnosed with myocardial infarction who were admitted and treated at Can Tho City General Hospital from March 2025 to August 2025. Results: Among a total of 65 patients, 76.9% were male. There were 25 patients with HFpEF, accounting for 38.5%. The proportion of HFpEF was higher in patients with STEMI (70.0%) compared with those with NSTEMI (24.4%). Similarly, patients with Killip class ≥ II had a higher HFpEF rate (87.5%) compared with those with Killip < II (31.6%). Patients with diabetes mellitus had a significantly higher prevalence of HFpEF compared to non-diabetic patients (63.2% vs 28.3%). Conclusion: HFpEF occurs at a relatively high rate among patients with acute myocardial infarction. Factors such as ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, higher Killip class (≥ II), and a history of diabetes mellitus were found to be associated with the occurrence of HFpEF.
