Risk stratification soon after acute infarction.
Two decades ago, exercise testing “soon after acute myocardial infarction” meant that stress testing was performed 3 weeks after the acute event.1 It was conventional wisdom that patients recovering from acute myocardial infarction should avoid physical activities exceeding a workload of 3 METs for some time.2 Formal physical rehabilitation was not commenced before 10 weeks after infarction. In...
متن کاملRisk stratification after acute myocardial infarction by heart rate turbulence.
BACKGROUND Retrospective postinfarction studies revealed that decreased heart rate turbulence (HRT) indicates increased risk for subsequent death. This is the first prospective study to validate HRT in a large cohort of the reperfusion era. METHODS AND RESULTS One thousand four hundred fifty-five survivors of an acute myocardial infarction (age <76 years) in sinus rhythm were enrolled. HRT on...
متن کاملRisk stratification for sudden cardiac death after acute myocardial infarction.
Many patients who survive an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remain at risk of recurrent cardiac events and sudden cardiac death after discharge, despite optimal medical treatment. Assessment of the degree of left ventricular dysfunction and residual myocardial ischaemia is useful to identify the patients at greatest risk. In addition, there is increasing evidence that a number of other cardi...
متن کاملArrhythmia Risk Stratification after Myocardial Infarction
Summary Post-myocardial infarction ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death risk remain important issues in these patients. In high-risk post-myocardial infarction (MI) patients prophylactic implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) may significantly improve survival. Risk stratification studies of post-MI patients will allow ICD therapy to be applied in a more cost-effective manner....
متن کاملTesting Soon After Myocardial Infarction
men completed a heart-rate-limited (HRL) protocol and 107 completed a symptom-limited (SXL) protocol 3 weeks after the acute event. In the HRL protocol, effort terminated at a heart rate of 130 beats/min in the absence of a limiting symptom, exertional hypotension or ventricular tachycardia. Peak heart rate was not an end point in the SXL protocol. Despite a higher peak heart rate and work load...
