Why the study?
Does the site of infarction affect long-term morbidity or mortality in patients who survive 28 days after a first myocardial infarction?
Population
684 patients, aged under 60 years, who survived for 28 days after a first acute myocardial infarction.
Comparison
Infarct site (e.g., anteroseptal vs. inferior) vs Other infarct sites
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
15 years

Infarct site should not guide long-term prognosis in 28-day survivors; leaves open whether contemporary reperfusion modifies this null association.
Does the site of infarction affect long-term morbidity or mortality in patients who survive 28 days after a first myocardial infarction?
The site of a first myocardial infarction does not significantly influence long-term morbidity or mortality in patients who survive the initial 28-day period.
Robinson et al. (1988) studied this question.
