摘要

BackgroundReadmission after ST‐segment–elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) poses an enormous economic burden to the US healthcare system. Efforts to prevent readmissions should be based on understanding the timing and causes of these readmissions. This study aimed to investigate contemporary causes, timing, and cost of 30‐day readmissions after STEMI.
