Ventricular premature complexes and sudden death after myocardial infarction.
Open accessAbstract
Among 1739 male survivors of myocardial infarction, mortality over 5 years was examined in relation to presence of complex ventricular premature complexes (R on T, runs of two or more, multiform or bigeminal complexes) identified during 1 hour of monitoring. Such arrhythmia was associated with excess risk of death over the entire period. Men with R on T or runs during the hour show a 5-year sudden coronary death rate of 25%, compared with 6% of men free of premature complexes. Men with complex ventricular premature complexes are also at relatively higher risk for nonsudden cardiac death than the other men (5-year mortality 15% and 7%, respectively), but no additional disadvantage was associated with the presence of R on T or runs. Multivariate survival analyses, controlling simultaneously for other important clinical factors, identify complex ventricular premature complexes as the strongest influence on risk of sudden coronary death and congestive heart failure as the strongest influence on risk of other cardiac death.

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.
