Key result
Postmyocardial infarction syndrome was associated with a non-significant increase in 5-year cumulative mortality compared to controls without the syndrome (26% vs 18%).

Post-MI syndrome signals larger infarcts without significant mortality difference; leaves open its independent prognostic value.
Case-Control (n=1,809)
Does the development of postmyocardial infarction syndrome affect 5-year mortality in patients with myocardial infarction?
Absolute Event Rate: 26% vs 18%
p-value: p=not statistically significant
Welin et al. (1983) conducted a case-control in Myocardial infarction (n=1,809). Postmyocardial infarction syndrome vs. Myocardial infarction without postmyocardial infarction syndrome was evaluated on Five year cumulative mortality (p=not statistically significant). Postmyocardial infarction syndrome was associated with a non-significant increase in 5-year cumulative mortality compared to controls without the syndrome (26% vs 18%).
