10-Year Mortality After ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Compared to the General Population
Main finding · Mortality, 91 days to 10 years (90-day survivors)Result — go to the resultHazard ratio 1.04 95% CI 1.01–1.08Authors' conclusion
In primary PCI-treated STEMI patients with high use of guideline-recommended therapy, patients surviving the first 90 days had 10-year mortality that was only 2% higher than that of a matched general population.
