Differences in treatment and outcome of patients with ST- elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-STEMI in Germany

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study tracked 544,529 people in Germany who had heart attacks. It compared two types of heart attacks based on heart test results. It looked at how well patients survived over time. This shows a link between heart attack type and survival, but it does not prove one type causes the other.
