The purpose of this study was to examine the clinical outcome of acute myocardial infarction among women of three ethnic/racial groups and to determine whether observed differences in outcome are explained by differences in associated risk factors. Nine hundred seventeen (917) consecutive admissions occurred among 810 women, of whom 347 (42.8%) were Caucasian, 258 (31.9%) were black, and 205 (25.3%) were Latina. The overall mortality rate was 13%; the Caucasian rate was significantly higher than the Latina rate (16.9% vs 7%, p < 0.01), as was the black rate (13.8% vs 7%, p < 0.05). Comparing survivors with nonsurvivors among the three groups, hypertension was more common for survivors among blacks, as was a history of angina; in-hospital congestive failure was associated with a higher mortality for blacks and Caucasians, as was in-hospital angina for Caucasians. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression for the outcome variables of congestive failure, in-hospital angina, and mortality, showed race to be a significant factor in the lower mortality rate for Latinas in the univariate analysis. In the multivariate analysis, only in-hospital angina and congestive failure significantly influenced mortality. In this study of myocardial infarction among women of lower socioeconomic status, factors other than race were the primary influences on outcome.
