Implication

NSTEMI mortality plateau since 2010 warrants renewed prevention efforts; leaves open whether targeted trials can resume prior declines.

Key Points

To examine long-term changes in 6-month mortality rates among patients presenting with STEMI versus NSTEMI acute myocardial infarction over a 20-year span.
Tracked 6-month mortality outcomes across a 20-year observational period following acute myocardial infarction events.
Stratified and compared temporal mortality trajectories between STEMI and NSTEMI presentations.
Six-month post-infarction mortality rates declined markedly across both STEMI and NSTEMI cohorts over the 20-year period.
Mortality continued to decline for STEMI cohorts through 2015, whereas NSTEMI mortality plateaued and remained stable after 2010.

While 6-month mortality for STEMI continued to decline until 2015, mortality improvements for NSTEMI patients appear to have plateaued since 2010.
