Invasive coronary revascularization in patients hospitalized with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) reduces mortality without increasing the risk for subsequent heart failure (HF) in the short-to-intermediate term, say researchers.
David Johnson (University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada) and colleagues show in a population-based study that AMI patients undergoing revascularization during their index hospitalization had a decreased incidence of both HF and mortality over the subsequent 3 years.
"Thus, we found no evidence that invasive coronary revascularization resulted in a trade-off in outcomes (ie, preventing short-term mortality ...
