Optimal medical therapy and prevention policy are recognised contributors to AMI mortality decline. Countries with more catheterisation laboratories per million people tended to have higher PCI rates. Surgeon perception of high patient risk is cited as a common reason for fewer CABG procedures. Low guideline adherence for optimal medical therapy may affect PCI utilisation patterns. Public reporting of surgical outcomes may discourage operations on higher-risk or disadvantaged patients.
