Thirty-eight patients with first nontransmural myocardial infarction were studied to determine prognosis and clinical markers of a high-risk subgroup. We found a high incidence of reinfarction (18%) at a median time of 16 days post nontransmural infarction (seven patients). Reinfarction was uniformly associated with death within 24 hours. A total of 14 patients (37%) either died (eight patients) or required urgent revascularization (six patients). Predominant ST segment depression with presenting nontransmural infarction and a history of prior angina were associated with increased mortality (p less than 0.05 and p = 0.05, respectively). We conclude that patients with nontransmural infarction are at high risk for early recurrent infarction. Patients with history of prior angina and predominant ST segment depression may be at particularly high risk. Reinfarction in these patients is frequently extensive. We recommend that these patients be considered for early coronary angiography.
