Key result
Contemporary treatment of acute myocardial infarction in men under 65 years was associated with a 28-day mortality of 4.8%, down from 15-16.6% in the pre-reperfusion era.

Staněk et al. (2018) conducted an observational in Acute myocardial infarction (n=1,291). Contemporary treatment (PCI and secondary prevention) vs. Historical treatment (pre-reperfusion and thrombolytic eras) was evaluated on 28-day mortality. Contemporary treatment of acute myocardial infarction in men under 65 years was associated with a 28-day mortality of 4.8%, down from 15-16.6% in the pre-reperfusion era.
