title: Mortality rates and hemorrhagic complications in asian-pacific islanders during treatment of acute myocardial infarction.
abstract: The management of acute myocardial infarction balances the benefits of antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapies against the risk for hemorrhage. The investigators report that Asian-Pacific islanders and patients with renal insufficiency have an increased rate of bleeding complications with hospitalized for acute myocardial infarction.
