Abstract

The prognosis of complications and outcomes of myocardial infarction in the course of some years is one of the most important problems in cardiology. With a wide choice of drugs and preventive techniques used for the treatment of myocardial infarction, the most important task is to identify groups of patients at high risk of developing complications such as cardiogenic shock, recurrent myocardial infarction, acute left ventricular failure, ventricular fibrillation, early postinfarction angina pectoris.
