In this large cohort of consecutive patients with myocardial infarction, CVA-TIA was a relatively infrequent complication of acute myocardial infarction.Factors independently favoring the occurrence of CVA-TIA were old age,previous CVA,and congestive heart failure.CVA-TIA occurring during acute myocardial infarction independently increased the risk of early death threefold as well as the risk of long-term mortality in early-phase survivors(2.5-fold). |
