Although stroke is an infrequent hospital complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), limited contemporary data are available about the incidence and death rates associated with this serious complication. The objective of this population-based study was to examine temporal trends (1986 to 1999) in the risk of stroke and associated hospital outcomes in patients hospitalized with AMI. This was an observational study of 6,325 metropolitan Worcester, Massachusetts, residents hospitalized with validated AMI and without prior stroke at all greater Worcester hospitals during 8 one-year periods between 1986 and 1999. Overall, 1.5% of patients (n = 92) with confirmed AMI developed an …
