Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death globally,Information about the health outcomes of people with MI is required to determine individual
health needs, enable earlier detection and treatment of new onset disease, and inform health
service planning. However, there is a limited literature about health outcomes of people
with MI that is nationally representative, includes patient survey data as well as
information systematically collected through electronic health records (EHRs), and extends
many years from the index admission MI. In some geographies, fatal and non-fatal
cardiovascular events after MI have now reached a plateau, yet remain elevated beyond the
first year.
