Popis: Objective, design and patients Between August 1981 and July 1983, 5839 consecutive myocardial infarction patients were hospitalized in 13 coronary care units in Israel. The present study examines 10 year survival among 4037 consecutive patients with a first myocardial infarction with either Q or non-Q waves. Demographic and medical data were collected from hospital records, and 1 year clinical follow-up was complete for 99% of hospital survivors. Mortality follow-up was extended to June 1992 (mean 10 years of follow-up). Results Five hundred and eighty patients (14%) had first myocardial infarctions of the non-Q wave type and 3457 of the Q wave type.
