Diagnostic Procedures, Revascularization, and Inpatient Mortality After Acute Myocardial Infarction in Patients With Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder

Abstract

In a large national sample and in the context of a comprehensive free health service, patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder were substantially disadvantaged, being half as likely to receive catheterization or revascularization procedures after AMI. Further research is required to clarify the reasons for this.
