Key result
Hospitalization for acute myocardial infarction in 1980 was associated with a 35% better 4-year survival for men (95% CI 21-50) and 27% better for women (95% CI 1-46) compared to 1970.
Why the study?
Did four-year survival after acute myocardial infarction improve between 1970 and 1980?
Cohort
Yes
Did four-year survival after acute myocardial infarction improve between 1970 and 1980?
Effect estimate: 35% relative improvement (men), 27% relative improvement (women) (95% CI 21-50 (men), 1-46 (women))
Improved long-term survival after acute myocardial infarction significantly contributed to the overall decline in coronary heart disease mortality between 1970 and 1980.

Improved post-MI survival 1970-1980 contributed to CHD mortality decline; extends observational data but leaves causal factors open.
Gómez-Marı́n et al. (1987) conducted a cohort in Acute Myocardial Infarction. Hospitalization in 1980 vs. Hospitalization in 1970 was evaluated on Four-year survival rate (35% relative improvement (men), 27% relative improvement (women), 95% CI 21-50 (men), 1-46 (women)). Hospitalization for acute myocardial infarction in 1980 was associated with a 35% better 4-year survival for men (95% CI 21-50) and 27% better for women (95% CI 1-46) compared to 1970.
