Ventricular Premature Beats and Mortality after Myocardial Infarction
Abstract
To assess the role of ventricular premature beats in influencing mortality of coronary patients, 1739 men with prior myocardial infarction were monitored for ectopic activity for one hour at a standard base-line examination, and followed for mortality for periods up to four years (average, 24.4 months). Analyses of survival taking into account other important prognostic variables establish that the presence of complex premature beats (R on T, runs of 2 or more, multiform or bigeminal premature beats) in the monitoring hour is associated with a risk of sudden coronary death three times that of the men free of complex ventricular premature beats. The corresponding risk of death from any cause is twice that of men without such complex beats in the hour. These arrhythmias make an independent contribution to increased risk of death that persists over the length of this observation period.

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.
