Predictors of outcome of reperfusion therapy [PDF]

European Heart Journal, 1997
The physician wishing to estimate the risk of death for a patient experiencing acute myocardial infarction can rapidly use parameters available on first seeing the patient to estimate the expected mortality and can update this risk during the early phase of the event.
