Acute myocardial Infarction Individual pre-discharge tests were insensitive predictors of poor outcome Level of evidence 2a Expiry Date March 2003 Coronary heart disease a simplified predictive index helped predict complications. Level of evidence 1a Expiry Date March 2003 Myocardial infarction cardiac tamponade was rare. Level of evidence 4 Expiry Date March 2003 Myocardial infarction living alone increased the risk of a recurrent cardiac event. Level of evidence 2b Expiry Date March 2003 Myocardial infarction early bradyarrhythmia occurred. Level of evidence 2b Expiry Date October 2003 Myocardial infarction old age, poor left ventricular function and diabetes increased the risk of cardiogenic shock. Level of evidence 1b Expiry Date March 2003 Myocardial infarction cardiogenic shock and arrhythmias were common in the first 30 days. Level of evidence 4 Expiry Date March 2003 Myocardial infarction Killip class measured severity of heart failure. Level of evidence 4 Expiry Date March 2003 Myocardial infarction a high risk group increased likelihood of complications. Level of evidence 2c Expiry Date March 2003 Myocardial infarction patients views of their illness related to work behaviour. Level of evidence 2c Expiry Date March 2003 Myocardial infarction prior angina carried a worse prognosis. Level of evidence 1b Expiry Date March 2003 Myocardial infarction pericardial rub was related to poor prognosis. Level of evidence 4 Expiry Date March 2000 Myocardial infarction premature ventricular beats affected prognosis. Level of evidence 2b Expiry Date March 2003 Myocardial infarction pericardial effusions were common. Level of evidence 4 Expiry Date March 2003 Myocardial infarction ventricular septal rupture was rare but mortality was high. Level of evidence 2c Expiry Date March 2003 Myocardial infarction symptom-limited tolerance tests predicted ischaemia better than low level tolerance tests. Level of evidence 4 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
