Heart tracing estimates linked to death risk after heart attack
After heart attack, each centimeter-per-second higher estimated movement speed during heart relaxation was linked to a death hazard ratio of 0.90; below one means lower…After heart attack, each centimeter-per-second higher estimated movement speed during heart relaxation was linked to a death hazard ratio of 0.90; below one means lower risk.
Preprint: cohort · 1,065 peopleBiomarkers
Who was studied1,065 people with acute heart attacks, median 1.44 years
What changedDeath risk was lower with higher estimated heart relaxation speed (hazard ratio 0.90 per 1 cm/s)
The catchThe study did not measure whether estimate-guided care improves outcomes
