Why the study?
Does anterior myocardial infarction worsen in-hospital prognosis compared to inferior myocardial infarction in patients with first transmural myocardial infarction?
Does anterior myocardial infarction worsen in-hospital prognosis compared to inferior myocardial infarction in patients with first transmural myocardial infarction?
Anterior myocardial infarction is associated with higher in-hospital mortality and morbidity compared to inferior myocardial infarction in patients with a first transmural infarction, an effect that remains independent of peak enzyme levels.
Anterior MI location signals higher in-hospital mortality; leaves open whether this refines risk models independent of infarct size.
