Long-term outcomes among stable post-acute myocardial infarction patients living in rural versus urban areas: insights from the prospective, observational TIGRIS registry

Open Heart

Background Insights on the differences in clinical outcomes, quality of life (QoL) and health resource utilisation (HRU) with different levels of care available to post-acute myocardial infarction (AMI) populations in rural and urban settings are limited. Data were collected at baseline and every 6 months for 24 months.

Safe Deferral of Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography for Patients With a Low Pretest Probability of Coronary Artery Disease in 2019 European Society of Cardiology Guidelines

Journal of the American Heart Association

PTP was calculated according to the 2013 and 2019 ESC guidelines. The overall mortality, cardiac deaths, myocardial infarctions, and hospitalizations for unstable angina were acquired from national registry data for 1 to 10 years of follow‐up (median, 4 years).

Lowering Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Events by Treating Residual Inflammatory Risk

DAIC

3 Patients with ASCVD are at a higher risk for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) including heart attack or myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, and cardiovascular (CV) death.4 The benefit was most significant in reducing the incidence of stroke and angina requiring revascularization.35 2013;368(21):2004-2013.

Temporal trends in concordance between ICD-coded and cardiac biomarker-classified hospitalisation rates for acute coronary syndromes: a linked hospital and biomarker data study

Open Heart

Background Since 2000, the definition of myocardial infarction (MI) has evolved with reliance on cardiac troponin (cTn) tests. male), and 96% of cases had linked biomarker data, predominantly conventional cTn at the start and high-sensitive cTn from late 2013. Results There were 37 272 ACS admissions in 30 683 patients (64.2%
