Abstract
We studied the effect of preinfarction angina on in-hospital outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention for anterior and nonanterior acute myocardial infarction. Beneficial effects of preinfarction angina on infarct size and in-hospital outcome are evident in patients with anterior infarction, but not in those with nonanterior infarction.
