(MED) Low Heart Patient Mortality In Israel

"The mortality rate of heart patients in Israel is significantly lower than that of those in Europe, according to a new study.

Published this month in the European Heart Journal, the study compares data on medical treatment of serious heart attack victims in 29 European countries.

The Israeli data was collected in 2006 in the Israel Heart Society's biannual survey of cardiology departments. It shows that 4.2 percent of Israeli heart patients in intensive care died, which is significantly less than the number who died in 20 other European countries that submitted data in this category."
