The impact of short hospital stay on prognosis after acute myocardial infarction: An analysis from the ACSIS database.

Our study suggests that an early discharge strategy of up to 3 days from admission is safe for low and intermediate-risk patients after both STEMI and NSTEMI. Nevertheless, this strategy is associated with an increased risk of potential avoidable readmission and there might be psychological and social factors that may warrant a longer stay.
