Recurrent cardiovascular events and mortality in the first year post-MI declined in the US from 2008 to 2017, with greater relative reductions in women, though men still experience higher absolute rates.
Post-MI recurrent events and mortality declined 2008–2017 with narrowing sex gaps; extends temporal trends but leaves causal factors and interventions open.
Rates of recurrent MI, recurrent CHD events, heart failure hospitalization, and mortality in the first year after an MI declined considerably between 2008 and 2017 in both men and women, with proportionally greater reductions for women than men. However, rates remain very high, and rates of recurrent MI, recurrent CHD events, and death continue to be higher among men than women.
