CORONARY ANGIOGRAPHY FINDINGS LN Q-WAVE VERSUS NON-Q-WAVE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION

Abstract
SUMMARY
There is some controversy about non-Q-wave myocardial infarction, its evolution and prognosis. Recent studies showed that inspite of low immediate morbidity and mortality between non-Q-wave myocardial infarction, long term risk of ischemia, reinfarction or sudden death is equal or even greater in non-Q-wave than among Q-wave infarction patients.
Therefore, the goal of the present study was to evaluate the
differences in the coronary anatomy and left ventricular function usin coronary angiography and left ventriculography between non-Q-wave and Q-wave myoacrdial infarction patients to help in development of treatment strategy.
The study population included 49 patients with myocardial infarction presented by typical cardiac pain more than 30 min. with rised creatine kinase level at least twice the normal limits with an abnormal ECG changes i.e. ST-segment elevation, depression T wave changes without evolution of Q-wave in non-Q-wave infarct group ( group I, n=25) but with evolution of pathological Q-wave in Q-wave infarct group ( group II, n=24).
