Key result
From 2000 to 2014, age- and sex-standardized AMI hospitalization rates declined substantially across all racial and ethnic groups, with an overall AMI incidence decrease of 48.7%.
Why the study?
Trends in acute myocardial infarction incidence rates across diverse racial and ethnic groups were largely unknown, hindering understanding of the role of race/ethnicity in acute myocardial infarction occurrence.
Population
44 142 AMI hospitalizations over 18 630 776 person-years among members aged ≥35 years
Comparison
Hispanic vs non-Hispanic Asian or Pacific Islander, black, and white racial groups
Design
Retrospective cohort study

Declining AMI rates across groups merit continued surveillance; extends prior trends but leaves open drivers of persistent disparities.
Observational (n=44,142)
AMI hospitalization incidence rates declined substantially for all major racial and ethnic groups between 2000 and 2014, though differences between groups persist.
Kanter et al. (2020) conducted an observational in Acute myocardial infarction (n=44,142). Race and ethnicity vs. Other racial/ethnic groups was evaluated on Annual incidence rates of AMI, STEMI, and NSTEMI. From 2000 to 2014, age- and sex-standardized AMI hospitalization rates declined substantially across all racial and ethnic groups, with an overall AMI incidence decrease of 48.7%.
