Long-term trends in the incidence, treatment, hospital fatality and subsequent mortality from acute myocardial infarction in the Czech Republic.

CONCLUSION: The Czech Republic has witnessed a pronounced decrease in AMI incidence and fatality and, consequently, long-term mortality. The decreasing incidence and improving course of AMI are due to progress in primary prevention, in acute coronary care and interventional cardiology, and in secondary coronary heart disease (CHD) prevention.
