WAMIF: Prospective Study in Young Women Presenting Acute Myocardial Infarction: Cohort Follow up

WAMIF: Prospective Study in Young Women Presenting Acute Myocardial Infarction in France: Clinical, Morphological and Biological Descriptive Analysis: Cohort Follow up

• Status: Recruiting
• Phase: —
• Study type: Observational
• Enrollment: 314 (estimated)
• Sponsor: French Cardiology Society · Academic / Other
• Sex: Female
• Age: 18 Years – 60 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The WAMIF study was conducted from 2017 to 2019, including 314 patients in 30 French research centers spread across metropolitan France. It systematically collected the clinical, morphological, and biological characteristics of myocardial infarction cases affecting women under 50 years of age and assessed their short-term (in-hospital) and medium-term (12-month) prognosis. Extending the follow-up beyond 12 months for this first study would provide fundamental data for understanding and improving the care of these patients.

Detailed description

The WAMIF study was conducted from 2017 to 2019, including 314 patients in 30 French research centers spread across metropolitan France. It systematically collected the clinical, morphological, and biological characteristics of myocardial infarction cases affecting women under 50 years of age and assessed their short-term (in-hospital) and medium-term (12-month) prognosis. The main results were: a particularly high incidence of modifiable risk factors affecting 86% of patients, with smoking being the primary cause in 75% of them.The clinical presentation found chest pain in more than 90% of cases. The pathophysiological forms of acute coronary syndrome identified the culprit artery in 90% of cases, a form without obstruction (MINOCA) was found in 17.8% of ST segment elevation infarctions (STEMI), spontaneous dissection in 14.6% of STEMI and 16.3% of NSTEMI.At 12 months, follow-up showed no cardiovascular deaths and two deaths related to neoplastic causes. At the end of this follow-up, 90% had no events. Compared to existing studies, these event rates are extremely low. Extending the follow-up beyond 12 months for this first study would provide fundamental data for understanding and improving the care of these patients. The secondary objective is the evaluation of the quality of life and mental health of women who have had an MI before the age of 50 years at a distance from the acute event.
