About this study
The purpose of this study is to gather data to develop a risk model that can be used to help doctors predict the recovery of older persons who have been admitted to the hospital with a heart attack. Information will be collected on hospital readmissions, death, and decline in health from any cause following a heart attack. The goal is help older people in the future make well-informed decisions about their health care during a heart attack.
