Abstract
Recurrent myocardial infarction (RMI) remains a critically important problem in cardiology, significantly worsening patient prognosis and contributing to high mortality rates (with a ris of up to 8%, and up to one-third of patients dying within a year after recurrence). It also contributes to the development or progression of heart failure. Patients following acute myocardial infarction (AMI) retain a high risk of recurrent ischemic events. The objective of this review is to systematize current approaches to the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of RMI, as well as to analyze factors influencing clinical prognosis. A literature search was conducted in MEDLINE, PubMed, Scopus, and ELIBRARY (2015–2024) using the following keywords: “recurrent myocardial infarction,” “acute coronary syndrome,” “risk factors,” “revascularization,” “percutaneous coronary intervention.” Relevant studies, reviews, and clinical guidelines were included.
