A national AMI registry in Norway demonstrated decreasing AMI incidence and 1-year mortality alongside increasing use of angiography and secondary prevention from 2013 to 2019.
In the period 2013-19 in Norway, we found a reduction in hospitalizations due to a first AMI. Both the percentage of patients undergoing coronary angiography as well as the percentage discharged with recommended secondary preventive therapy increased during the period, and the age-adjusted 1-year mortality after AMI decreased. A national AMI register provides important information about trends in incidence, treatment, and outcome, and may improve adherence to guideline recommendations.
