A retrospective study was conducted on 488 patients admitted in our rehabilitation center after a recent acute myocardial infarction. Purpose of the study was to assess the incidence and prognostic value of exertional hypotension in these patients. Of 488 patients admitted to the study 33 (6%) were found to have exertional hypotension; 14 patients had an inferior myocardial infarction, 18 patients had an anterior myocardial infarction, 3 patients had a history of previous myocardial infarction. In the follow-up period (28.3 +/- 13.2 months) the worse prognosis (death or pulmonary oedema) was associated with the presence during exercise of hypotension, ST segment elevation in leads were Q waves were present and no ST depression in other leads. In conclusion, recent anterior myocardial infarctions associated with hypotension and ST segment elevation during exercise appear to be at risk for future cardiac events.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more. Blood Pressure, High,Blood Pressures, High,High Blood Pressure,High Blood Pressures
D007022 Hypotension Abnormally low BLOOD PRESSURE that can result in inadequate blood flow to the brain and other vital organs. Common symptom is DIZZINESS but greater negative impacts on the body occur when there is prolonged depravation of oxygen and nutrients. Blood Pressure, Low,Hypotension, Vascular,Low Blood Pressure,Vascular Hypotension

D005080 Exercise Test Controlled physical activity which is performed in order to allow assessment of physiological functions, particularly cardiovascular and pulmonary, but also aerobic capacity. Maximal (most intense) exercise is usually required but submaximal exercise is also used.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.
