ABSTRACT
Cardiovascular (CVS) disease is a global phenomenon and in Trinidad and Tobago, a small island developing country, remains the leading cause of death since the 1940's. It accounts for a proportional mortality of 25%.The main contributors are ischemic heart disease and stroke (1). Because CVS disease has global implications, the evaluation of the diverse outcomes of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) using population based hospital discharge databases is an important activity. The aim of this study is to describe the epidemiological features of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and outcomes in patients admitted for tertiary care in Trinidad.
