Studies of prognosis following acute myocardial infarction (AMI) conventionally examine the first recurrent coronary heart disease (CHD) event which may not adequately characterize the full burden of CHD hospitalizations. We therefore examined the cumulative number of CHD rehospitalizations following AMI among older adults in the United States.
