Key result
In 1,000 post-myocardial infarction patients, overall 5-year cardiac mortality was 8% and the cardiac event rate was 35%, with heart failure, ejection fraction, and multivessel disease predicting cardiac death.

Impaired left ventricular function and myocardial ischemia are important markers for cardiac death after myocardial infarction, while ischemia markers primarily predict recurrent cardiac events.
Kambara et al. (1993) conducted a cohort in myocardial infarction (n=1,000). Clinical characteristics was evaluated on Cardiac death and cardiac events (death, reinfarction, and revascularization). In 1,000 post-myocardial infarction patients, overall 5-year cardiac mortality was 8% and the cardiac event rate was 35%, with heart failure, ejection fraction, and multivessel disease predicting cardiac death.
