Authors' conclusion

Peri-infarct ischemia is a novel and robust prognostic marker of adverse cardiovascular events.

Study context

Population
Consecutive patients undergoing stress CMR, expanded cohort of the multicenter SPINS study
Participants
3,915 patients
Exposure
Peri-infarct ischemia vs no infarct and no ischemia
  • Peri-infarct ischemian = 382
Outcome
Acute MI and CV death
Follow-up
Median 5.3 years (Q1-Q3: 3.9-7.2 years)
