Implication

May flag post-MI reinfarction risk via fibrinolysis markers; leaves open incremental value over current stratification.

29 consecutive patients recovering from a first instance of acute myocardial infarction

Outcome

Reinfarction during the next four yearshard clinical

Altered fibrinolysis variables, specifically tissue plasminogen activator activity and antigen levels, may help identify patients at high risk for myocardial reinfarction after a first MI.
