Age and LV dysfunction markers should guide short-term AMI prognosis; leaves open whether residual ischemia adds incremental value.
What are the primary prognostic indicators for short-term survival after acute myocardial infarction?
Age and markers of left ventricular dysfunction are the most powerful predictors of short-term survival after acute myocardial infarction, rather than residual ischaemia.
Volpi et al. (1994) studied this question.
