Berman AN, Biery DW, Ginder C, et al. - Neighborhood and socioeconomic factors are identified to have a role in long-term survival of individuals who experienced their first myocardial infarction before age 50 years.

• From the Mass General Brigham YOUNG-MI Registry (at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts), researchers retrieved a cohort of 2,097 patients who experienced an MI at or before 50 years of age between January 1, 2000, and April 30, 2016.

• Higher all-cause and cardiovascular mortality were recorded over an 11-year follow-up period in correlation with living in more socioeconomically disadvantaged neighborhoods.
