ICU Versus High-Dependency Care Unit for Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Nationwide Propensity Score-Matched Cohort Study

CONCLUSIONS: Critical care in the ICU compared with that in the HDU was not associated with reduced inhospital mortality among the entire cohort of patients with acute myocardial infarction but was associated with reduced inhospital mortality among the subsets of patients with Killip class IV, intubation, or mechanical circulatory support.
