Context The contemporary decline in mortality reported in patients with ST-segment
elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has been attributed mainly to improved use of
reperfusion therapy. Objective To determine potential factors—beyond reperfusion therapy—
associated with improved survival in patients with STEMI over a 15-year period. Design,
Setting, and Patients Four 1-month French nationwide registries, conducted 5 years apart
(between 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010), including a total of 6707 STEMI patients admitted to …
