Rates of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) hospitalizations for elderly Medicare patients decreased during the previous decade. However, trends in population rates of AMI hospitalizations for all adults by subgroups have…
Comparative clinical outcomes after exposure to alternate low osmolar contrast media (LOCM) during invasive coronary angiography (ICA) and/or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) have been incompletely examined. From a retrospective multicenter…
