Coronary heart disease decreased physical activity increased the risk of CHD death. Level of evidence 1b Expiry Date March 2003 Myocardial Infarction Ventricular fibrillation was associated with high mortality rates Level of evidence 2b Expiry Date March 2003 Myocardial infarction shock, age over 70 and right ventricular infarction increased risk of in-hospital mortality. Level of evidence 1b Expiry Date March 2003 Myocardial infarction audible fourth heart sound helped predict five year mortality. Level of evidence 4 Expiry Date March 2003 Myocardial infarction cardiogenic shock increased the risk of in-hospital mortality. Level of evidence 2b Expiry Date March 2003 Myocardial infarction diabetes increased the risk of one year mortality. Level of evidence 1b Expiry Date March 2003 Myocardial infarction LV dysfunction: mitral regurgitation, hypertension and worsening ejection fraction increased the risk of dying. Level of evidence 2b Expiry Date March 2003 Myocardial infarction anterior wall infarcts had a worse prognosis. Level of evidence 1b Expiry Date March 2003 Myocardial infarction bundle-branch block worsened prognosis Level of evidence 2b Expiry Date October 2003 Myocardial infarction a high Cardiac Infarction Injury Score increased the risk of mortality. Level of evidence 1b Expiry Date March 2003 Myocardial infarction inferior: ST depression in the limb leads on admission ECG increased the risk of dying. Level of evidence 2b Expiry Date March 2003 Myocardial infarction worsening Killip class and increasing age increased the risk of dying. Level of evidence 1b Expiry Date March 2000 Myocardial infarction anterior: abnormal QRS complexes on admission ECG increased the risk of dying. Level of evidence 1b Expiry Date March 2003 Myocardial infarction a reduced ejection fraction, mitral regurgitation and old age increased the risk of dying. Level of evidence 1b Expiry Date March 2003 Myocardial infarction no social support increases mortality. Level of evidence 1a Expiry Date March 2003 Myocardial infarction age over 70, cardiac arrest, Killip class and anterior MI increased the risk of dying following a ventricular arrhythmia. Level of evidence 1b Expiry Date October 2003 Myocardial infarction failure to take medication increased the risk of dying. Level of evidence 2b Expiry Date March 2003 Myocardial infarction patients sent home were more likely to die. Level of evidence 3b Expiry Date Unknown Month 2003 Myocardial infarction echocardiographic features after 6 weeks helped predict death and heart failure. Level of evidence 2b Expiry Date October 2003 Myocardial infarction inferior: complete heart block and heart failure increased the risk of dying. Level of evidence 1b Expiry Date October 2003 Myocardial infarction positive ECG increased the risk of life-threatening complications. Level of evidence 1b Expiry Date March 2003 Myocardial infarction females were at an increased risk of in-hospital mortality. Level of evidence 1b Expiry Date March 2003 Myocardial infarction primary ventricular fibrillation increases in-hospital mortality. Level of evidence 2b Expiry Date October 2003 Myocardial infarction asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction: ACE inhibitors reduced mortality, heart failure and recurrent MI. Level of evidence 1b Expiry Date March 2003 Myocardial infarction continuing to smoke increased the risk of death or reinfarction. Level of evidence 1b Expiry Date March 2003 Myocardial infarction right bundle branch block increased risk of death at 1 year. Level of evidence 1b Expiry Date March 2003 Myocardial infarction worsening Killip class and increasing age increased risk of in-hospital death. Level of evidence 2b Expiry Date March 2003 Myocardial infarction pericardial effusion may increase death. Level of evidence 2b Expiry Date March 2003 Myocardial infarction inferior: heart block was not clearly associated with dying. Level of evidence 2b Expiry Date March 2003 Myocardial infarction early post-infarction angina was common and increased the risk of dying. Level of evidence 1b Expiry Date March 2003 Myocardial infarction asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction: trandolapril reduced death and heart failure. Level of evidence 1b Expiry Date March 2003 Myocardial infarction Killip class, premature ventricular contraction, a previous MI and depression increased the risk of dying. Level of evidence 1b Expiry Date March 2003 Myocardial infarction recurrent infarction was associated with high death rates. Level of evidence 2b Expiry Date March 2003 Myocardial infarction increased age, female sex, lighter weight, African ancestry and type of thrombolytic therapy affected bleeding. Level of evidence 2b Expiry Date March 2003 Myocardial infarction non-Q-wave MI and hypertension increased the risk of reinfarction. Level of evidence 1b Expiry Date March 2003
