[Clinical prediction of the early prognosis in acute myocardial infarct].
Several clinical factors can influence the pathophysiology, clinical course and prognosis of acute myocardial by different means. Some of them may be easily detected through the history, physical examination or ECG in an early phase. The knowledge of these factors may help the therapeutic decision making of patients with myocardial infarction. The influence for the main clinical factors (age, sex, risk factors, cardiologic antecedents and evolutive findings) on the short-term prognosis of acute myocardial infarction is reviewed. An analysis of the likely mechanisms of the influence of these factors on infarct prognosis is also performed.
