Key result
Transmural myocardial infarction had similar in-hospital mortality compared to nontransmural infarction (22% vs 33%), and similar late mortality at 20.2 months (18% vs 19%).

Similar mortality in transmural vs nontransmural MI; leaves open relevance to contemporary reperfusion-era cohorts.
Cohort (n=160)
Do hemodynamic findings and mortality differ between patients with transmural versus nontransmural myocardial infarction?
Absolute Event Rate: 22% vs 33%
Transmural and nontransmural myocardial infarctions have similar in-hospital and late mortality rates, despite differences in peak CPK levels and specific ECG changes.
Rigo et al. (1975) conducted a cohort in Transmural and nontransmural myocardial infarction (n=160). Transmural myocardial infarction (TMI) vs. Nontransmural myocardial infarction (NTMI) was evaluated on In-hospital mortality. Transmural myocardial infarction had similar in-hospital mortality compared to nontransmural infarction (22% vs 33%), and similar late mortality at 20.2 months (18% vs 19%).
