Prognostic Importance of Premature Beats Following Myocardial Infarction: Experience in the Coronary Drug Project
Abstract
Two hundred thirty-five men among 2,035 survivors of myocardial infarction (11.5%) had one or more ventricular premature beats (VPB) in their resting base-line electrocardiogram. During a three-year follow-up period, deaths were about twice as frequent in those with any VPB (21.7%) as in those with none (11.4%) among the placebo-treated patients in the nationwide Coronary Drug Project. Excess long-term risk of death, including sudden death, was associated with the frequency of VPB, with VPB in pairs or runs, and possibly with early-cycle VPB. The excess risk with these VPB characteristics was independent of the risk associated with other electrocardiographic and clinical characteristics.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
