AB  - Acute  myocardial  infarction  (AMI)  is  a  most  common  diagnosis  in  hospitalized  patients  in  industrialized  countries.  In  the  United  States,  ~660,000  patients  experience  a  new  AMI,  and  305,000  experience  a  recurrent  AMI  each  year.  About  half  of  AMI-related  deaths  occur  before  the  stricken  individual  reaches  the  hospital.  Of  note,  the  in-hospital  mortality  rate  after  admission  for  AMI  has  declined  from  10  to  about  5%  over  the  past  decade.  The  1-year  mortality  rate  after  AMI  is  about  15%.  Mortality  is  approximately  fourfold  higher  in  elderly  patients  (aged  >75)  as  compared  with  younger  patients.
