Abstract

The coronary patient after the striking experience of a myocardial infarction faces a completely new situation possibly affecting lifestyle, occupation and life expectancy. A dedicated post-infarction diagnostic strategy for the evaluation of the individual risk of suffering from a future coronary event, or of dying, requires profound knowledge of the impact of medical and surgical therapies on the survival rate and on the quality of life after infarction.

Key Words: Post-infarction risk stratification • diagnostic decision making • coronary artery bypass surgery • angioplasty • exercise tests • coronary arteriography
