Overview

Mortality declines in elderly AMI patients may reflect care advances; leaves open why younger adults show no improvement.

Population
Population-based KORA myocardial infarction registry cases of AMI and coronary heart disease deaths in 25-74-year-olds from 2004-2015 and 75-84-year-olds from 2009-2015 in Germany.

AMI mortality and event rates have significantly declined in older populations (75-84 years) in Germany, but these improvements are not seen in younger populations (<55 years).

Cite This Study

Krämer et al. (2021) conducted an observational in Acute myocardial infarction. AMI mortality declined significantly among the elderly (75-84 years) from 2004 to 2015, dropping by 6.0% annually in men and 10.0% in women, with no significant trend in those <55 years.
