Treatment, Outcomes for AMI Patients Compared in Six Countries
Proportion of patients admitted with STEMI who received PCI in hospital in 2017 ranged from 36.9 percent in England to 78.6 percent in Canada
Ten-Year Mortality, Recurrence Rates Decreasing After Acute MI
Mortality and recurrence risks lower for patients hospitalized in 2007 to 2009 versus those hospitalized in 1995 to 1997
Cardiovascular Mortality Down Among Dialysis Patients
Greater declines seen for myocardial infarction, stroke, and pulmonary embolism among dialysis patients than general population
Risk for Acute MI Not Increased With Two-Dose HepB-CpG Vaccine
Noninferiority study shows no increased risk for acute MI with two-dose HepB-CpG vaccine versus three-dose HepB-alum vaccine
Risk for Parkinson Disease Reduced After Myocardial Infarction
During median follow-up of 21 years, risk reduced for Parkinson disease, secondary parkinsonism after MI
ASA: Myocardial Infarction May Hasten Cognitive Decline in Adults
Participants with incident MI had significantly faster declines in global cognition, memory, and executive function than those without MI
Premature AMI Mortality Declined From 1999 to 2019
Decline slowed since 2011; was higher among large and medium/small metros versus rural counties
High-Dose IV Iron Reduces MI in Patients on Hemodialysis
High-dose versus low-dose intravenous iron reduces myocardial infarctions in patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis
Sacubitril-Valsartan Does Not Cut Risk for Death, Heart Failure After MI
Sacubitril-valsartan not linked to reduced incidence of death from cardiovascular causes or incident heart failure versus ramipril
