May enhance post-MI risk stratification after thrombolysis; leaves open validation in contemporary reperfusion cohorts.
What are the predictors of 6-month mortality in survivors of myocardial infarction treated with thrombolysis?
In the thrombolytic era, markers of left ventricular dysfunction and inability to perform exercise testing are strong predictors of 6-month mortality after myocardial infarction, whereas residual ischemia markers are not.
Volpi et al. (1993) studied this question.
