Prognostic and clinical characteristics of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) can usually justify surgical and/or angioplastic approach if the residual ventricular function is still good. Multivessel disease frequently complicates results interpretation. We studied with 2D echocardiography and coronary angiography two groups of patients with one vessel stenosis located on anterior descending (AD) and previous AMI (means 19 days): 23 patients with spontaneous non-Q infarction (group 1), and 23 patients with Q infarction. Left ventricular function was better in group 1. Percent occlusion of AD was lower in group 1 and angiographic AD caliber was significantly higher. Differences between groups were much more evident in subgroups with proximal stenosis of AD: patients of non-Q subgroups had very good left ventricular function but frequently had post-AMI instable angina (88%). Our results underline the usefulness of aggressive diagnostic and therapeutic approach in non-Q AMI, because of higher amount of myocardium at risk.
