Résumé

Observational data have described the association of blood pressure (BP) with mortality as 'J-shaped', meaning that mortality rates increase below a certain BP threshold. We aimed to analyse the associations between BP and prognosis in a population of acute myocardial infarction (MI) patients with heart failure (HF) and/or systolic dysfunction.
