Abstract
Studies published since the early 1970s have changed the thinking about non-Q-wave myocardial infarction, and the serious nature of the disorder is now recognized. Reinfarction or infarct extension is the most common cause of morbidity in these patients. Thus, diagnosis with electrocardiography, appropriate choice of prophylactic measures, risk stratification before discharge, and careful follow-up are vital, as Dr Nixon discusses.
