title: Stress echocardiography and exercise electrocardiography for risk stratification after non-Q-wave uncomplicated myocardial infarction.
abstract: The aim of our study was to compare the prognostic value of stress echocardiography and exercise electrocardiography after uncomplicated non-Q-wave acute myocardial infarction in a series of 68 consecutive patients. Our data show that stress echocardiography and exercise electrocardiography offer similar prognostic information after uncomplicated non-Q-wave AMI.
