Stroke/transient attack is a relatively rare(1%)complication in the year after hospital discharge from acute myocardial infarction,though more frequent in the first month.Chronic atrial fibrillation,older age,anterior myocardial infarction site,serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase levels more than four times above upper normal limits,past myocardial infarction and stroke identify high-risk patients.Patients suffering from subsequent stroke/transient ischemic attacks experienced higher mortality than counterparts who remained free from this complication. |
