Why the study?
Are postdischarge ischemic events associated with a higher mortality risk compared with bleeding events in patients with recent acute myocardial infarction receiving antithrombotic therapy?
Are postdischarge ischemic events associated with a higher mortality risk compared with bleeding events in patients with recent acute myocardial infarction receiving antithrombotic therapy?
In patients with recent MI on antithrombotic therapy, postdischarge ischemic events occur more frequently and carry a higher mortality risk than bleeding events.
Ischemic events may warrant prioritized post-MI monitoring; leaves open optimal antithrombotic balancing in randomized trials.
In this nationwide cohort study of patients with a recent MI, postdischarge ischemic events were more common and associated with higher mortality risk compared with bleeding events.
