Abstract
Background
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and cancer are leading causes of death worldwide. However, the relationship between AMI and hematologic malignancies remains unclear.
Objectives
The authors aimed to investigate the association between AMI and the subsequent risk of incident hematologic malignancies.
Methods
This retrospective cohort study included 103,686 patients with AMI and no history of hematologic malignancies, and 103,686 age- and sex-matched individuals with no history of AMI or hematologic malignancies, diagnosed between January 1, 2003, and December 31, 2021. Data were obtained from the Korean National Health Insurance claims database. We compared the cumulative incidence of hematologic malignancies between groups using Gray’s method. HRs and 95% CIs were calculated using Gray’s competing risk regression model, with death treated as a competing risk.
Results
During follow-up (AMI, 7.9 years [Q1-Q3: 5.2-11.4 years]; control group, 17.8 years [Q1-Q3: 14.8–17.9 years]), 1,043 and 1,479 individuals in the AMI and control groups, respectively, were newly diagnosed with hematologic malignancies (incidence rate per 1,000 person-years: 1.21 vs 0.93). Competing risk analysis revealed that the AMI group had a higher risk of hematologic malignancy than the control group (HR: 1.49; 95% CI: 1.31-1.69). Findings were consistent in sensitivity and standardized incidence ratio analyses.
Conclusions
Patients with AMI had a higher risk of hematologic malignancies than those without AMI. These findings suggest an association between AMI and hematologic malignancies, and underscore the importance of considering hematologic malignancy development in patients with AMI.
期刊介绍:
JACC: CardioOncology is a specialized journal that belongs to the esteemed Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC) family. Its purpose is to enhance cardiovascular care for cancer patients by publishing high-quality, innovative scientific research and sharing evidence-based knowledge.
The journal aims to revolutionize the field of cardio-oncology and actively involve and educate professionals in both cardiovascular and oncology fields. It covers a wide range of topics including pre-clinical, translational, and clinical research, as well as best practices in cardio-oncology. Key areas of focus include understanding disease mechanisms, utilizing in vitro and in vivo models, exploring novel and traditional therapeutics (across Phase I-IV trials), studying epidemiology, employing precision medicine, and investigating primary and secondary prevention.
Amyloidosis, cardiovascular risk factors, heart failure, and vascular disease are some examples of the disease states that are of particular interest to the journal. However, it welcomes research on other relevant conditions as well.
