Historical MI mortality data warrant cautious interpretation; leaves open the role of routine anticoagulation pending modern randomized evidence.

Key Points

This review aims to evaluate the treatment outcomes and mortality rates associated with myocardial infarction.
Review of 455 cases of myocardial infarction from various studies.
Comparison of mortality and morbidity rates with different treatment approaches, particularly anticoagulant therapy.
Analysis of varying incidence rates of embolic phenomena.
Mortality rates reported between 50% and 81% for myocardial infarction.
Incidence of embolic complications varies from 1% to 37%.
Support for anticoagulant therapy is countered by conservative viewpoints denouncing routine use.
