Why the study?
Do survivors of a first non-Q wave myocardial infarction have a higher residual ischaemic burden and risk of future ischaemic events compared to those with a Q wave infarction?
Population
123 consecutive survivors of a first myocardial infarction
Comparison
Non-Q wave myocardial infarction vs Q wave myocardial infarction
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
3.5 +/- 0.9 years

May warrant closer surveillance after non-Q wave MI; hypothesis-generating and leaves open optimal management strategies.
Do survivors of a first non-Q wave myocardial infarction have a higher residual ischaemic burden and risk of future ischaemic events compared to those with a Q wave infarction?
Survivors of a first non-Q wave myocardial infarction experience longer ischaemic episodes during daily activities and have a higher risk of long-term ischaemic events compared to those with Q wave infarction.
Mickley et al. (1993) studied this question.
