Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate contribution of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and associated factors of cardiovascular risk to outcome of in-hospital treatment of patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods. The study included 529 patients with STEMI. Of them, 65 (12.3 %) patients were previously diagnosed with COPD. All patients underwent standard examination including demographic data, medical history, clinical data, electrocardiography and echocardiography. In-hospital complications such as early postinfarction angina, recurrent MI, repeated urgent coronary revascularization, stroke, death were assessed. Results. Among patients with STEMI, the incidence of COPD was 12.3 %. The presence of COPD was associated with poor in-hospital outcome regardless of age and smoking status and was accompanied by higher rate of complications and lower survival. Conclusion. Concomitant COPD in patients with STEMI could be an independent risk factor for poor in-hospital outcome.
