AB  - Hypertension is a known risk factor for coronary artery disease. However, the 
      number of studies focusing on the events following ST elevation myocardial 
      infarction (STEMI) in patients with an antecedent hypertension is limited. Our 
      aim is to evaluate the clinical outcomes of primary angioplasty in STEMI patients 
      with antecedent hypertension during hospital stay and follow-up. A total of 373 
      patients (177 of whom had antecedent hypertension) who were treated by primary 
      angioplasty because of STEMI were included in this study. All parameters were 
      compared between the groups with and without hypertension. Hypertensive patients 
      who received primary angioplasty were older (59.9 +/- 12.6 vs. 52 +/- 12.3, P < .001) 
      and had higher rates of in-hospital mortality and major adverse cardiac events 
      than patients without hypertension. Among STEMI patients, only history of 
      hypertension for more than 10 years was a predictor of in-hospital mortality 
      (odds ratio: 4.374, 95% CI 1.017-18.822, P = .04). Patients with an antecedent 
      hypertension have higher initial risk profiles and show more negative outcomes 
      during a 6-month follow-up period.
