Prognosis

Look for evidence of ventricular aneurysms ^b

Why?

• Ventricular aneurysms increase the risk of systemic emboli. 1.3 % will have systemic emboli within 5 years (95% CI: 0.0% to 3.9%) b
• A third of patients with ventricular aneurysms will die within 5 years (37%: 95% CI: 26% to 48%). ^b
