[Usefulness of a new prognostic index for patients with myocardial infarction].
The usefulness was analysed of the prognostic indicator proposed by Belgian authors in 1988 (1) in patients with myocardial infarction treated in a cardiology department in the years 1986-1988. It was noted that in the Polish population this indicator make possible a more precise isolation of high-risk patients during hospitalization as compared to the Belgian patients. In the groups with better prognosis the risk of death was lower than in the Belgian patients. In the conclusions the simplicity of this new indicator, its high prognostic value and its usefulness for the evaluation of various therapeutic methods are stressed.
