Noninvasive risk stratification in women with uncomplicated acute myocardial infarction

Am J Cardiol. 2000 Aug 1;86(3):333-6. doi: 10.1016/s0002-9149(00)00927-9.

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 89 female patients. Our data show that stress echocardiography has independent predictive value in a female patient population recovering from uncomplicated acute myocardial infarction.
