Strategies for prognostic assessment of uncomplicated first myocardial infarction: 5-year follow-up study

Our aim was to use noninvasive studies early after infarction to assess medium-term prognosis in patients with a first uncomplicated myocardial infarction. Although the use of early postinfarction assessment to gauge short-term prognosis in myocardial infarction is well established, there have been...

Description
Summary:Our aim was to use noninvasive studies early after infarction to assess medium-term prognosis in patients with a first uncomplicated myocardial infarction. Although the use of early postinfarction assessment to gauge short-term prognosis in myocardial infarction is well established, there have been few comprehensive evaluations of noninvasive methods for assessing medium- and long-term prognosis. We prospectively studied 115 consecutive patients
