Supports ECG-based risk stratification in non-Q-wave MI; leaves open whether it should change practice.
Does ST segment depression on early ECG predict worse clinical outcomes and specific characteristics in patients with non-Q-wave myocardial infarction?
ST segment depression on early ECG in non-Q-wave myocardial infarction identifies a high-risk subgroup with increased mortality and multivessel disease.
Ogawa et al. (1985) studied this question.
