Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) survivors are twice as likely to die in a 10-year follow-up period compared with the matched general population. Mortality excess is greatest in young women, high risk patients, Jews, NSTEMI, non-invasively treated and recurrent AMI. Mortality excess is observed most prominently throughout the 1st year followed by the 7th–10th years after AMI.
