Determining whether acute myocardial infarction in patients with previous coronary bypass grafting is the result of narrowing of a bypass conduit or of a native coronary artery

In conclusion, in patients with AMI and previous CABG, when the IRCA is a coronary graft, the electrocardiogram shows ST elevation on admission and development of new Qwaves less often than when the IRCA is a native coronary artery, and this is probably related to a different pathology of AMI. When...

Description
Summary:In conclusion, in patients with AMI and previous CABG, when the IRCA is a coronary graft, the electrocardiogram shows ST elevation on admission and development of new Qwaves less often than when the IRCA is a native coronary artery, and this is probably related to a different pathology of AMI. When the IRCA is a graft, the infarction is smaller but presents a worse in-hospital prognosis.
