Prognosis of patients with Q wave myocardial infarction of inferior or anterior localization

摘要: The aim of the study was to determine clinical and demographic features that are significant for prognosis after first-ever myocardial infarction (MI). Kaunas men women aged 25 - 64 years, admitted hospitals due their MI during 1983 1992 with first coded electrocardiogram (ECG) were enrolled into study. ischemic heart disease (IHD) register source data, ECGs using Minnesota Code, deaths identified via prospective death s register. Factors significantly increasing risk from IHD year inferior age (p=0.01), atrial flutter or fibrillation (p=0.02). In patients Q wave in anterior site increased not only by age, but also acute failure 3.74-fold history previous stroke 3.82 (p=0.046), diabetes 2.53 (p=0.04).
