title: Independent predictive value for nonspecific initial ECG.
abstract: Although previous studies have suggested that normal and nonspecific initial ECGs are associated with a favorable prognosis for patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), their independent predictive value for mortality has not been examined. This US study sought to compare inhospital mortality among patients with AMI who have normal or nonspecific initial ECGs with that of patients who have diagnostic ECGs.
