PROFIL TEKANAN DARAH PADA PASIEN DENGAN ST ELEVATION MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION (STEMI) DI RSUP DR. MOHAMMAD HOESIN PALEMBANG PERIODE JANUARI - DESEMBER 2024
Background. ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) is the most severe form of acute coronary syndrome caused by total occlusion of the coronary artery, leading to myocardial ischemia and necrosis. Blood pressure in the early phase of STEMI reflects the patient’s hemodynamic condition and plays an important role in determining clinical outcomes. Measuring blood pressure upon hospital admission provides an initial overview of disease severity and potential complications. Methods. This study was descriptive with a cross-sectional design using secondary data from medical records of STEMI patients at dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital Palembang during the period of January – December 2024. Samples were selected purposively according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, with a minimum of 68 patients. Data collected included age, sex, admission blood pressure, infarction location, and troponin levels. Descriptive analysis was performed to determine the distribution and frequency of each variable. Results. Most STEMI patients were between 40 and 60 years old (49.4%), with a predominance of males (74.1%). The majority presented with Stage 1 hypertension upon hospital admission (25.9%). The most common infarct location was the anterior/septal wall (59.3%), while troponin levels were markedly elevated in all patients (100%). Conclusion. The majority of STEMI patients at dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital Palembang during January – December 2024 presented with high blood pressure upon hospital admission, predominantly among middle-aged male patients with anterior infarction. These findings indicate that hypertension is a dominant risk factor and may play an important role in the clinical manifestation of STEMI. Keywords. Profile, STEMI, Blood Pressure, Heart.
