Racial Differences in the Rates Sample Clauses

Racial Differences in the Rates of Recurrent Myocardial Infarction Survivors of an AMI are at increased risk of recurrent infarctions, which occur at an annual rate that is six times higher than in people of the same age without CHD. Previous studies suggest that the 5-year mortality rate following an AMI is higher in Black patients than White patients62. Furthermore, between 2001 to 2003 and 2007 to 2009, age-adjusted mortality after AMI has decreased among White males, but no changes were reported for White females or Black males or females30. Part of the AMI outcome differences by race could reflect a higher reinfarction rate among Black than White patients. Among people who survived a first AMI, Black individuals may be more likely to experience a recurrent AMI and to die from it compared to White counterparts. Few studies have examined race-related differences in AMI recurrence. Most previous studies of race differences in AMI used administrative databases based on discharge diagnosis codes, which may be inaccurate and may have introduced bias1, 4. Examining racial differences in the incidence and mortality of recurrent AMI could contribute to our understanding of racial differences in total CHD mortality.
