This study assessed patient perspectives on the burden of disease and treatment in the first year post-MI.\nMethods: Data were collected via a self-administered online questionnaire posted on the Carenity patient platform in the United States (10\/30\/2022\u221212\/30\/2022). Only patients who had an MI in the prior year were eligible for inclusion.\nResults: A total of 151 patients completed the survey. The majority were men (69%), median age was 50 years, and 38% had an MI within the previous 90 days. Overall, post-MI complications were reported in 44% of the patients, including depression (23%), recurrent MI (7%), and stroke (7%). Follow-up care was provided by general\/clinical cardiologists (67%), interventional cardiologists (38%), and general healthcare providers (59%). Most patients (80%) reported involvement in treatment decisions. The number of prescribed medications was considered the main contributor to post-MI treatment burden; approximately 42% of the patients found it tedious remembering to take their medications. The most commonly quoted post-MI treatment goal was recurrent MI risk reduction. Additionally, 73% of the patients considered improving quality of life to be a key goal. Overall, the patients\u2019 emotional well-being, physical well-being, and personal life were particularly impacted by MI. \u201cStress\/anxiety\/fear\u201d was the most frequently reported emotion immediately post-MI, and one-third conveyed MI\u2019s negative impact on their employment status. MI impacted household finances in 74% of patients, with 38% losing income.\nConclusions: MI places a substantial burden on patients. Understanding patient experiences post-MI may enhance patient-centered care.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.17294\/2330-0698.2146","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,2]],"date-time":"2025-10-02T04:38:11Z","timestamp":1759379891000},"page":"234-244","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Understanding the Burden of Myocardial Infarction and Patient Preferences for Treatment: A Real-World Study Assessing Patients\u2019 Perspectives via an Online Survey"],"prefix":"10.17294","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"M.
