Key result
Hospital survivors of acute myocardial infarction aged ≤60 years demonstrated high overall survival rates of 96% at 1 year and 95% at 2 years, driven by a 58% prevalence of one-vessel disease.

What is the coronary anatomy and long-term prognosis of hospital survivors of acute myocardial infarction aged 60 years or younger?
Younger patients surviving an acute MI generally have a favorable prognosis driven by a high prevalence of single-vessel disease, suggesting prophylactic therapy should be targeted to identifiable high-risk subgroups.
Roubin et al. (1983) conducted a cohort in Acute myocardial infarction (n=229). Observational was evaluated on Overall survival at 1 year. Hospital survivors of acute myocardial infarction aged ≤60 years demonstrated high overall survival rates of 96% at 1 year and 95% at 2 years, driven by a 58% prevalence of one-vessel disease.
