First myocardial infarction: 5-year survival predicted from routine clinical, laboratory, and radionuclide findings during the acute stage.

abstract：:Myocardial protection and the control of ischemic injury has been highly successful clinically in the field of cardiac surgery where hearts are made globally ischemic. By contrast, protection of the regionally ischemic myocardium, as found during evolving myocardial infarction, has been less successful and, despite nu...
