Temporal trends in characteristics and outcomes after myocardial infarction in patients with and without peripheral artery disease - A Nationwide, register-based follow-up study

AIM: Patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) represent a high-risk population with increased morbidity and mortality. We aimed to examine trends in myocardial infarction (MI), PAD and adverse clinical outcomes from years 2000 to 2019.

METHODS: This nationwide Danish-based registry study included all patients with MI from years 2000-2019. Patients with PAD were compared to patients without PAD. Temporal changes in PAD prevalence over time was examined using the Cochrane-Armitage trend test, and Cox regression was used to test for between-group significance in all care and outcome measures.

RESULTS: A total of 196,635 patients experienced an MI within the study time frame; the prevalence of PAD over time showed a slight increase (p < 0.01). Patients with MI and a concurrent PAD diagnosis elicited a heavier burden of comorbidities. The primary MACE endpoint showed significant decreases in both patients with and without PAD (p < 0.01); the decrease was more marked in patients without a concurrent PAD diagnosis (p < 0.01) alongside with 1-year all-cause mortality (p < 0.01). There was a slight increase in initiation of preventive pharmacotherapy with a prominent increase in initiation of P2Y12-inhibitors post discharge in patients without PAD in comparison to patients with PAD, and the same pattern applied for lipid lowering agents (p < 0.01). Also, there was an increase in revascularization in patients with MI but more markedly in patients without coexisting PAD.

CONCLUSIONS: Despite significant decreases in MACE and mortality and significant increases in guideline-recommended care and revascularization over time for MI patients both with and without PAD, improvement in all these measures was less prominent in patients with MI and concomitant PAD.
