Active Duty Personnel With ST Elevation Myocardial Infarctions Are Deployment Ineligible Despite Receiving Standard Management.

CONCLUSIONS: AD personnel represent a small minority of MTF STEMI diagnoses and present with lower risk cardiovascular profiles. AD personnel received standard STEMI management compared to national performance measures, and were deployment ineligible after STEMI diagnoses. Further studies are needed to definitively explore the appropriate military dispositions for members with STEMI diagnoses and acute coronary syndromes.
