Cardiovascular-related deaths are the initial leading cause after cardiac intervention, but non-CV deaths increase over 5 years, affecting overall survival rates.
What are the mortality rates and causes of death over time in patients after cardiac interventions?
Following cardiac interventions, the proportion of non-cardiovascular deaths increases over time, highlighting the need for comprehensive long-term patient care.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
Initially main cause of death after cardiac intervention is CV-related. The proportion of non-CV deaths increases during follow-up, impacting survival for all patients up to 5 years after intervention. (Fig. 1).
