An Overview on Heart failure after myocardial infarction

Abstract

Background: Heart failure (HF) is a common and serious complication following myocardial infarction (MI), contributing significantly to morbidity, mortality, and healthcare burden worldwide. Despite improvements in early reperfusion therapies and secondary prevention, a substantial proportion of MI survivors develop acute or chronic heart failure due to myocardial injury and adverse ventricular remodeling. Understanding the mechanisms and predictors of post-MI heart failure is critical for early risk stratification, targeted intervention, and improved patient outcomes.
