Cardiac rehabilitation in older adults: New options.

abstract：:Acute myocardial infarction can be stratified into electrocardiographic subsets based on the presence or absence of new Q waves. This stratification has important clinical and prognostic utility. Coronary angiography during acute non-Q-wave compared with Q-wave infarction shows much higher infarct-related artery paten...
