Similar mortality in STEMI and NSTEMI supports unified MI definition; leaves open whether management differences affect outcomes in broader cohorts.
Does STEMI presentation compared to NSTEMI presentation result in different 1-year outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Despite different management strategies, STEMI and NSTEMI patients have similar in-hospital and 1-year mortality, supporting the unified ESC/ACC definition of myocardial infarction.
