CONCLUSION Patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy with Q waves have larger subendocardial scarring and more transmural necrosis, although correlation between Q waves and transmural scarring is poor. Revascularization if >10% ischemia is present is associated with a better prognosis. Ischemia burden should be assessed and accordingly treated in these patients, and no differences in management should be made in the presence of Q waves. Table 1.
