Research Data from Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation at ACC 2024 Reveal Trends in Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Preventive Medication Use Prior to Heart Attacks
The Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation (MHIF) is presenting leading research focused on trends in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), the most severe form of a heart attack, at the American College of Cardiology’s Annual Scientific Session (ACC.24), being held April 6-8 in Atltanta, GA. An analysis of nearly 8,000 STEMI patients over 20 years found the majority of STEMI occur in individuals without prior cardiovascular disease, and this prevalence is unchanged over time.
