Incidence, treatment, in-hospital mortality and one-year outcomes of acute myocardial infarction in Poland in 2009–2012 — nationwide AMI-PL database

Abstract

Standards of care and early outcomes in AMI in Poland are similar to Western countries. The major cause of higher mortality due to AMI in the Polish population is a high incidence of AMI, indicating a need for intensification of primary prevention programmes. Secondary prevention is also underused, especially in the field of cardiac rehabilitation.
