Risk Model for Decline in Activities of Daily Living Among Older Adults Hospitalized With Acute Myocardial Infarction: The SILVER-AMI Study.

ABSTRACT: Background Functional decline (ie, a decrement in ability to perform everyday activities necessary to live independently) is common after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and associated with poor long-term outcomes; yet, we do not have a tool to identify older AMI survivors at risk for this important patient-centered outcome.
