Predictors of left ventricle ejection fraction and early in-hospital mortality in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: Single-center data from a tertiary referral university hospital in Istanbul.

Our study is one of the few studies to investigate the predictors of early in-hospital mortality among patients hospitalized with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction in a tertiary referral university hospital in a developing country. The identified predictors for mortality (including left ventricle ejection fraction and troponin T levels), left ventricle ejection fraction (including troponin T level, chest pain duration), and heart rate are consistent with what has been described in large registries in the United States and Europe.
