- Title
How Can We Optimize Care and Outcomes for Patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment and Acute Myocardial Infarction?
- Authors
Green, Ariel R.
- Abstract
In this issue of I Journal of General Internal Medicine i , Levine et al. present data on receipt of invasive and non-invasive treatments after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).[1] Among participants in the Health and Retirement Study, Levine and colleagues found that survivors of AMI with MCI were significantly less likely than those with normal cognition to receive cardiac catheterization and coronary revascularization, but not cardiac rehabilitation. Levine et al. have added a useful contribution to the literature on post-AMI therapies in patients with MCI, who are at risk of both underuse and overuse of healthcare.
