Background— Amid recent efforts to reduce cardiovascular risk, whether rates of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in the United States have declined for elderly patients is unknown. Methods and Results— Medicare fee-for-service patients hospitalized in the United States with a principal discharge diagnosis of AMI were identified through the use of data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services from 2002 to 2007, a time period selected to reduce changes arising from the new definition…

National Trends in Heart Failure Hospitalization After Acute Myocardial Infarction for Medicare Beneficiaries: 1998–2010
- MedicineCirculation
- 2013
In a national sample of Medicare beneficiaries, HF hospitalization after AMI decreased from 1998 to 2010, which may indicate improvements in the management of AMI, and survival after HF following AMI remains poor, and has worsened from 2007 to2010, demonstrating that challenges still remain for the treatment of this high-risk condition after AMi.

Market and Beneficiary Characteristics Associated With Enrollment in Medicare Managed Care Plans and Fee-for-Service
- MedicineMedical care
- 2009
Enrollment in MMC is related to beneficiary characteristics, including health status and socioeconomic status, and is modified by MMC presence in the local market, and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services should monitor how changes to Medicare Advantage policies and payment methods may affect beneficiaries in those groups.
