There was been some controversy about non-Q wave myocardial infarction, its evolution and prognosis. The most recent studies showed that, in spite of the low immediate mortality in non-Q wave myocardial infarction, the long-term risk of ischaemia, reinfarction or sudden death is equal or even greater than in the Q-Wave myocardial infarction. In order to define an adequate ischaemic risk stratification strategy in the post non-Q wave myocardial infarction without complications, the authors studied 21 patients who were submitted to treadmill exercise test and coronary angiography within 30 days after the acute event. Of the 17 patients with positive stress testing, 14 showed significant relationship between ischaemic area detected in the stress testing and the anatomic localization and severity of the lesions in the coronary angiography (chi 2 = 14,875; p < 0.006). Revascularization therapy (PTCA or bypass surgery) was very high in this group of patients (47.6%). From the date obtained the authors conclude that it is not necessary to use invasive studies in every patient that has suffered from non-Q wave myocardial infarction without complications, since the stress testing showed high sensitivity (94.4%), specificity (75%) and high predictive value (100%) in the ischaemic risk stratification.
