Key Points Question What are the risk factors associated with major cardiovascular events within 1 year among patients who survive an acute myocardial infarction? Findings In this cohort study of 4227 patients with acute myocardial infarction, 19 risk factors associated with major cardiovascular events 1 year after acute myocardial infarction, comprising 15 unique variables, were identified. A risk model to predict 1-year cardiovascular events after an acute myocardial infarction was developed and evaluated based on these risk factors. Meaning Identification of individuals at the highest risk of long-term cardiovascular events after acute myocardial infarction may aid in the provision of targeted, intensive, and higher-quality longitudinal care following discharge.
