Recomendaciones para la optimización de la atención a los pacientes tras infarto agudo de miocardio. Proyecto MIMIC

Abstract

In recent years, efforts in the care of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have focused on ensuring a rapid response during the acute phase. However, follow-up after hospitalization is essential for adequate recovery and the prevention of future complications. Heart failure following an infarction is a common complication that implies a worse prognosis and a high rate of readmission, increasing the risk of death both in its early phase and in the long term. The Myocardial infarction and heart failure model (MIMIC) project analyzed patient care after an AMI in different healthcare models, with the aim of identifying recommendations for improvement and best practices that contribute to generalizing optimal care models after an AMI, to achieve a better prognosis, a higher quality of life, and a reduction in healthcare costs.
