Despite improvements in long-term survival trends, MI survivors continue to face a higher risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes compared to the general population, especially those with additional risk factors like diabetes, hypertension, or older age.
MI survivors require sustained secondary prevention; confirms secular gains yet persistent excess risk for targeted trials.
There have been consistent improvements in secular trends for long-term survival and cardiovascular outcomes after MI. However, MI survivors remain at higher risk than the general population, particularly when additional risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension, or older age are present.
