What is the long-term prognosis and mortality rate following single and multiple attacks of transmural myocardial infarction?
What is the long-term prognosis and mortality rate following single and multiple attacks of transmural myocardial infarction?
This historical cohort study highlights the severe prognostic implications of recurrent transmural myocardial infarctions, with mortality increasing substantially with each subsequent event.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Recurrent transmural MI was associated with rising mortality; this leaves open whether contemporary therapies alter outcomes after multiple events.
Arthur M. Mastér (1969) studied this question.
