Abstract
We assessed educational attainment and complications during hospitalization in 3,882 patients with acute myocardial infarction for the Determinants of Myocardial Infarction Onset Study. Educational attainment had a graded, inverse association with prevalence of congestive heart failure (CHF) during hospitalization, with the lowest prevalence among patients who attended college (odds ratio 0.75; 95% confidence interval, 0.57 to 0.99; p for trend 0.02), with similar findings among men, women, whites, and blacks.
