title: [Short- and long-term prognosis of myocardial infarct. Contributions and limitations of the clinical aspects and non-invasive technics].
abstract: Clinical variables and those obtained by non-invasive techniques were recorded in a series of 306 patients discharged from hospital after an acute myocardial infarction. We studied the prognostic value at 2 and 12 months of these variables (alive/dead). The results of simple clinical data were as discriminant as those from more elaborated techniques. When the prognostic value of the same data at 12 months was studied in those surviving for two months, most of the predictive variables lost their discriminant power. The study shows that the predictive value of many of the predischarge variables usually taken into account in the assessment of long term risk, does not extend beyond the first two months.
