Clinical Evaluation of Heart Failure in Post-Myocardial Infarction Patients

Abstract

Background: Cardiac failure is one of the most serious and disabling complications following
myocardial infarction (MI), significantly contributing to morbidity, hospital readmissions, and
mortality worldwide. In India, the burden is amplified by late presentations, poor risk factor
control, and limited access to rehabilitation.
Aim: To assess the complications of MI, with a focus on cardiac failure, and to evaluate the
precautionary and preventive steps adopted in post-MI patients at a tertiary care hospital.
