title: Prognostic significance of angina pectoris > or = 30 days before acute myocardial infarction in patients > or = 75 years of age.
abstract: We compared the prognostic significance of prior angina pectoris in 151 patients > or = 75 years of age admitted for acute myocardial infarction. There was a similar in-hospital course, but the long-term outcome was poorer in patients with prior angina.
