Key result
Transmural and nontransmural myocardial infarction showed no significant differences in in-hospital mortality, arrhythmias, or cardiogenic shock, though congestive heart failure was more frequent in TMI.

ECG transmural classification lacks prognostic value for most AMI complications; challenges its routine use and leaves open refined risk tools.

Does transmural versus nontransmural electrocardiographic classification predict clinical outcomes and complications in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Electrocardiographic differentiation between transmural and nontransmural myocardial infarction does not reliably predict the pattern of complications or in-hospital mortality.
Madias et al. (1974) conducted a cohort in Acute Myocardial Infarction (n=104). Transmural myocardial infarction (TMI) vs. Nontransmural myocardial infarction (NTMI) was evaluated on Clinical course including arrhythmias, cardiogenic shock, mortality, and congestive heart failure. Transmural and nontransmural myocardial infarction showed no significant differences in in-hospital mortality, arrhythmias, or cardiogenic shock, though congestive heart failure was more frequent in TMI.
