AMI: acute myocardial infarction; CATH: cardiac catheterization; PCI: percutaneous coronary intervention; CABG: coronary artery by-pass graft; Hisp.: Hispanic; Hx: History; Prev. MI: previous myocardial infarction; Prev. Revasc.: Previous coronary revascularization (PCI and/or CABG). *Outcomes adjusted for age, gender, race/ethnicity, history of diabetes, hypertension, smoking, renal failure, previous MI, and previous CABG/PCI.
