Comorbidity burden signals higher AMI mortality risk; supports risk stratification but leaves open whether targeted interventions improve outcomes.
Does the presence of multiple cardiovascular comorbidities impact 30-day and 1-year death rates in patients hospitalized with acute myocardial infarction?
