Long-term survival after acute myocardial infarction is lower in more deprived neighborhoods.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Analyses from randomized controlled trials suggest that bleeding in patients with acute myocardial infarction is associated with poor outcomes. Because these data are not generalizable to all patients with acute myocardial infarction, we sought to better understand the scope of this problem in a "real-world"...
