- II. interní klinika FN, Hradec Králové.
The objective of the presented retrospective work was to evaluate the expedience of general indication of an invasive procedure in patients with non-Q myocardial infarction (non-Q IM). The group is formed by 40 patients with non-Q IM, after a first coronary attack. The authors investigated the premorbid condition, the clinical course, early and late mortality, they evaluated the coronarographic findings of those who were subjected to angiographic examination and compared conservatively treated patients with those who had a revascularization operation. The results are in favour of an invasive procedure in all patients with a non-transmural IM, in particular when the lesions are in the anterolateral area.
