Does late revascularization alter the evolution of the signal-averaged electrocardiogram in patients with a recent transmural myocardial infarction?
Late revascularization of an occluded infarct-related artery does not appear to enhance resolution of late potentials compared with conservative medical therapy. Resolution occurs in patients with less severe SAECG abnormalities. This may reflect a difference in arrhythmogenic substrate.
An INR of 1.8-2.4 appeared to be associated with the lowest incidence rate of major bleeding or thromboembolic events in a cohort of Hong Kong Chinese patients receiving warfarin therapy for moderate-intensity anticoagulation.
