AMI incidence rise since 2011 despite falling case-fatality may signal prevention gaps in Korea; leaves open explanations for regional disparities.
Although case-fatality continuously decreased from 2007 to 2016, hospitalized AMI incidence decreased from 2007 to 2011 and gradually increased from 2011 to 2016, with marked disparity between regions. Effective preventive strategies to decrease AMI incidence are required to decrease cardiovascular disease mortality in Korea.
