“…This group of patients had hypotension significantly less commonly after infarction (46% versus 57%; P < 005) and more often gave a family history of ischaemic heart disease (37% versus 26%; P < 0.05). They did not have a significantly higher mortality (Table 1; Fulton et al, 1972).…”

On a basis of history, clinical examination, and the electrocardiogram it was possible to identify groups of patients with acute myocardial infarction with good and bad prognoses as regards hospital survival. Individual adverse factors were age, prevous history of ischaemic heart disease, anterior infarction, persistent sinus tachycardia, pulmonary crepitations, hypotension, and raised venous pressure. Multivariate analysis showed four factors remaining significant--age, tachycardia, hypotension, and pulmonary crepitations. As a result of treatment of cardiac arrest, hospital mortality, which would otherwise have been 20 percent, was 17 percent. Preceding unstable angina did not worsen the immediate prognosis.

“…Despite earlier findings, sudden death is relatively infrequent among patients with unstable angina (Fulton et al, 1972;Duncan et al, 1976). However, survivors of acute infarction have a yearly incidence of sudden death approaching 5 per cent (Koch-Weser, 1972).…”

“…Krauss et al (1972) have reported a 6 per cent incidence of myocardial infarction with a one-year mortality of 15 per cent, and Gazes et al (1973) a 21 per cent incidence of infarction at 8 months and an 18 per cent mortality at 1 year, with a 5-2 per cent yearly mortality over 10 years. Fulton et al (1972) in a series of 167 patients found a 14 per cent incidence of myocardial infarction and a 2 per cent mortality at 3 months. All of these series suffer from the disadvantage that coronary angiography was not performed.…”
