Are there age-dependent improvements in survival after hospitalization with acute myocardial infarction?
Survival after AMI hospitalization has significantly improved in older patients, suggesting the scope for further mortality reductions is greater in this demographic compared to younger patients.
there were significant improvements in survival after hospitalisation with AMI in the older but not younger patients. The scope for further reductions in mortality is likely to be much greater for older than younger patients with AMI.
Alabas et al. (2013) studied this question.
