European Journal of Internal Medicine , 11/05/07
Gruber, A., et al. - Although elevated serum urea and low serum sodium have been shown to be associated with increased short-term (30-day) mortality following an ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), little is known about the role of these biochemical markers as predictors of intermediate-term (1-year) re-hospitalisation...Conclusion: In this retrospective study, independent predictors of 1-year re-hospitalisation following an STEMI include high serum urea, raised cholesterol levels and, possibly, reduced sodium levels. These simple biomarkers can be included in patients' risk stratification when following post-STEMI patients in out-patient clinics
