Why the study?
Does a history of cancer affect the receipt of guideline recommended treatment and inhospital outcomes in acute myocardial infarction patients?
Does a history of cancer affect the receipt of guideline recommended treatment and inhospital outcomes in acute myocardial infarction patients?
AMI patients with a history of cancer receive less guideline-directed therapy and experience worse in-hospital outcomes compared to those without cancer.
Cancer history was associated with less guideline therapy and worse AMI outcomes; leaves open whether targeted protocols improve equity.
Acute myocardial infarction patients with a history of cancer were less likely to receive guideline recommended treatment and had worse inhospital outcomes than non-cancer patients.
