Véronique L. Roger (2010) conducted an editorial in Acute myocardial infarction (n=285,387). Time period (1986 to 2007) vs. Earlier time period was evaluated on 30-day mortality. Between 1986 and 2007, 30-day mortality for patients hospitalized with a first myocardial infarction decreased from 18% to 10%, while mortality between 30 days and 1 year increased by 1.2%.
