Impact of Age at the Time of the First ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction on 10-Year Outcomes (from the EXAMINATION-EXTEND Trial)

The aim of this substudy of the EXAMINATION-EXTEND was to analyze 10-year outcomes according to the patient's age at the time of the first ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Of 1,498 patients with STEMI included in the EXAMINATION-EXTEND study, those with a previous history of coronary ischemic even or ischemic stroke were excluded from this analysis. The remaining 1,375 patients were divided into 4 age groups:75  years. The primary end point was 10-year patient-oriented composite end point (POCE) of all-cause death, any MI, or any revascularization.
