• All 16 countries had sustained declines in AMI age-standardised mortality rates during the study period. — Percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass grafting and mortality from acute myocardial infarction in EU15+ countries, 2006–2020: a secondary analysis of the OECD database
• Finland, Denmark, Australia, and Luxembourg had the steepest AMI mortality declines highlighted in the article. — Percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass grafting and mortality from acute myocardial infarction in EU15+ countries, 2006–2020: a secondary analysis of the OECD database
• In 2006, Ireland had the highest AMI mortality rate and France had the lowest. — Percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass grafting and mortality from acute myocardial infarction in EU15+ countries, 2006–2020: a secondary analysis of the OECD database
• By 2020, Austria had the highest remaining AMI mortality rate and Denmark had the lowest. — Percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass grafting and mortality from acute myocardial infarction in EU15+ countries, 2006–2020: a secondary analysis of the OECD database
• Declines in AMI mortality in countries with falling revascularisation volumes suggest revascularisation volumes alone do not explain mortality improvements. — Percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass grafting and mortality from acute myocardial infarction in EU15+ countries, 2006–2020: a secondary analysis of the OECD database
• More sensitive troponin assays may have lowered observed AMI ASMR by increasing the share of lower-risk AMI cases in later years. — Percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass grafting and mortality from acute myocardial infarction in EU15+ countries, 2006–2020: a secondary analysis of the OECD database
