This review discusses methods for risk stratification in survivors of acute myocardial infarction to identify those at high risk for subsequent cardiac events.
Risk stratification may aid high-risk identification in AMI survivors; leaves open optimal method selection pending prospective validation.
Preview The purpose of risk stratification in survivors of acute myocardial infarction is to identify those most likely to have subsequent cardiac events and, if possible, to improve their prognosis with medical therapy, revascularization, or both. Dr Figueredo reviews methods of assessing risk and discusses the merits and limitations of each.
