Popis: Background Black patients tend to develop coronary artery disease at a younger age than other groups. Previous data on racial disparities in outcomes of myocardial infarction (MI) have been inconsistent and limited to older populations. Our objective was to investigate racial differences in the outcome of MI among young and middle‐aged patients and the role played by socioeconomic, psychosocial, and clinical differences. Methods and Results We studied 313 participants (65% non‐Hispanic Black)
