Incidence and Prognosis of Unrecognized Myocardial Infarction: An Update on the Framingham Study

Kannel, William B., Abbott, Robert D.·1984·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

Of 708 myocardial infarctions among 5127 participants in the Framingham Study, more than 25 per cent were discovered only through the appearance of new diagnostic evidence during routine biennial electrocardiographic examinations. Of these unrecognized infarctions almost half were "silent," and the others caused atypical symptoms. The proportion of all infarcts that were unrecognized was higher in women and in older men. Such infarcts were uncommon in persons with angina. Unrecognized infarctions were as likely as recognized ones to cause death, heart failure, or strokes. Recurrent infarctions were more common in women with recognized than with unrecognized infarcts, but this difference was not present in men. Recurrent infarctions were more likely to be recognized than were first infarctions. We conclude that unrecognized infarctions are common and have as serious a prognosis as recognized infarctions.

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.
