There was a significant reduction in age-adjusted and total mortality for NSTEMI in the US from 1988 to 2004, likely reflecting advancements in ACS treatment.
Movahed et al. (2011) conducted an observational in Non-ST-segment myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) (n=1,400,234). Year of admission (2004) vs. Year of admission (1988) was evaluated on Total mortality. Total mortality for NSTEMI in the United States significantly decreased from 29.6% in 1988 to 11.3% in 2004.
