While the incidence of heart failure following a first myocardial infarction decreased from 1993 to 2004, the 3-year risk remains substantial, particularly in older adults.
Persistent HF risk after AMI in older adults remains substantial despite declines; leaves open whether targeted prevention can further reduce incidence.
In this national sample, we observed a steady decrease in the risk of being hospitalized with HF after an AMI. However, the 3-year risk of HF remains high, with nearly one-third of AMI patients aged 65-84 developing HF within 3 years.
