OBJECTIVES To describe from a population-based perspective, recent and temporal (1975–
1995) trends in the incidence, in-hospital and postdischarge case-fatality rates of heart …

Despite significant advances in its treatment, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains an
important cause of heart failure (HF). Contemporary data remain lacking, however …

Background Advances in treatment for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are likely to have
had a beneficial impact on the incidence of and deaths attributable to heart failure (HF) …

Background—Heart failure (HF) is an important predictor of poor outcome after acute
myocardial infarction (AMI). However, limited data exist about the clinical significance of HF …

Background—Previous studies have reported conflicting findings regarding how the
incidence of heart failure (HF) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has changed over time …

Improved survival after myocardial infarction (MI) could result in MI survivors' contributing to
the US heart failure epidemic. Conversely, since the severity of MI is declining over time, a …

Background—Although mortality after myocardial infarction (MI) has declined in the United
States in recent decades, there have been few community-based investigations of the long …

Objectives: To characterize the presentation and outcome of patients with heart failure (HF)
after myocardial infarction (MI) according to left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and test …

Patients who develop heart failure (HF) after an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are at
higher risk of adverse fatal and nonfatal outcomes. Published studies on the incidence and …

PURPOSE: The effects of survival after myocardial infarction on the prevalence of chronic
heart failure have not been well characterized. We reviewed studies of the incidence …
