Five-year mortality after surviving the acute phase of myocardial infarction is substantial, with worse long-term prognosis observed in men and those with transmural or recurrent infarctions.
Pohjola et al. (1980) conducted a cohort in Acute myocardial infarction (n=728). Transmural infarction vs. Nontransmural infarction was evaluated on Five-year mortality. Transmural myocardial infarction was associated with higher five-year mortality compared to nontransmural infarction (34.0% vs 19.7%) in patients surviving the first 28 days.
