Rate of sudden death or cardiac arrest with resuscitation according to time after myocardial infarction
Nov 5, 2008 Most myocardial infarctions are due to underlying coronary artery disease, the leading cause of death in the United States
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the root cause of most patients with SCD
Despite advances in the diagnosis and treatment of acute coronary syndromes and an overall improvement in outcomes, mortality after myocardial
1 Long-term population studies outlining the incidence of sudden cardiac death
The rate of mortality after a non-fatal myocardial infarction was compared with that of the general population, and causes of death were analyzed

Introduction

We restricted the analysis to studies in which follow-up was completed by 1980 to quantify the
Causes of Death After Type 2 Myocardial Infarction and Myocardial Injury J Am Coll Cardiol
Despite advances in the diagnosis and treatment of acute coronary syndromes and an overall improvement in outcomes, mortality after myocardial infarction (MI) remains high
MI is mainly due to underlying coronary artery disease
Over the years, there has been a radical shift in therapy from passive healing of the infarction through weeks of bed rest to early discharge usually within 2 to
Sudden cardiac death is the unexpected death of an individual from apparent cardiac causes without symptoms or within 1 hour of symptom onset
We performed a systematic review and a meta-analysis to determine the risk of MI and nonstroke
It is diagnosed in approximately 13% of patients at 30 days and 20–30% at 1 year after discharge for MI
Consistent with this
When heart muscle cells die the affected area of tissue becomes necrotic
Outlook
The total number of fatal events was 338 and the causes of death were as Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction is one of the leading causes of death in the developed world
