Supports ECG-based risk stratification in AMI; leaves open prospective validation in contemporary cohorts.
Does the initial electrocardiographic pattern in acute myocardial infarction predict infarct size, mortality, and the probable site of the culprit coronary lesion?
Meticulous interpretation of the admission ECG in AMI, including grades of ischemia, provides valuable prognostic information regarding infarct size, mortality risk, and culprit lesion location.
Birnbaum et al. (1997) studied this question.
