Eur J Heart FailPublished Secondary analysis of the PARADISE-MI randomised trial

Authors' conclusion

In PARADISE-MI, there were substantial regional differences in patient characteristics, treatments and outcomes.

Comparison

Primary endpoint
CV death or incident HF

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

Primary composite outcome:
  • CV death
  • Incident HF
By region

South Asia (SA)

4.6/100 person-years

Latin America (LA)

9.2/100 person-years

Further findings

OutcomeValues
Incident HF, by regionSA 1.0/100 person-years · Northern Europe 5.9/100 person-years
Medication use, by regionSA ACEi/ARB 34.8% · Beta-blockers 65.5% · NA MRA (lowest) 22% · Eastern Europe/Russia MRA (highest) 53%

Incident HF, by region

Rates varied almost six-fold among regions

Patient characteristics, by region

Asian, particularly SA, patients younger and thinner, more DM, less AF, more often STEMI, low rate of primary PCI
LA patients did not differ meaningfully from Europe or North America (NA)
