To determine the relative prognostic significance of location (anterior or inferior) and type (Q
wave or non-Q wave) of infarction, the hospital course and follow-up outcome (mean …

Infarct expansion and infarct extension are events early in the course of myocardial
infarction with serious short-and long-term consequences. Infarct expansion …

Background Non–Q-wave myocardial infarction is usually managed according to an
“invasive” strategy (ie, one of routine coronary angiography followed by myocardial …

We performed a multicenter, double-blind, randomized study to evaluate the effect of
diltiazem on reinfarction after a non-Q-wave myocardial infarction. Nine centers enrolled 576 …

Background There are large geographic differences in the frequency with which coronary
angiography and revascularization are performed. We attempted to assess whether …

Objective.—To compare the short-and long-term prognosis following a first Q-wave or non-Q-
wave myocardial infarction. Design.—Cohort study with a mean follow-up period of 5.1±4.9 …

To define the incidence of mitral regurgitation (MR) and elucidate its potential contribution to
the development of severe congestive heart failure after acute mypcardlal infarction (AMI) …

Prognosis for patients with non-Q wave myocardial infarction is controversial although a
number of studies have shown a less favorable outlook after hospital discharge for patients …

Despite having smaller infarct size and better left ventricular function, patients with non-Q
wave myocardial infarction (NQMI) appear to have an unexpectedly high long-term mortality …

Objectives: In the present study, we investigated the association of pathological Q waves
with infarct size. Furthermore, we investigated whether Q-wave regression was associated …
