Mortality Rate in Myocardial Infarction after Treatment

Despite previous studies indication that Myocardial Infarction mortality rate decreases considerable after treatment, evidences point to the fact that decrease in mortality rate is only short time of thirty day duration and there is no significant change in long term mortality rate of myocardial infarction incident patients. Any significant change in the long-term mortality rate of one year to three years duration was only as a result of age and severity of underlining disease process. Myocardial infarction is regarded as one of the most prevalent disease in cardiovascular disease and it occurs as a result of blockage in the blood flow. Age, gender and prevailing health condition of a patient seems to play an important role in the prognosis and survival of a patient. Women with age greater than seventy five years old seems to have less mortality surviving rate than men, and incidence of first myocardial infarction tends to results into more reoccurrence of myocardial infarction accident and increased mortality rate. This review examined the mortality rate of myocardial infarction patient long-term survival after treatment.
