A prognostic index for 2 yr survival after recovery from acute myocardial infarction was verified in 105 patients. Five variables comprise the index: systolic blood pressure level on admission, highest blood urea nitrogen level in the cardiac care unit, atrial arrhythmias in the cardiac care unit, angina pectoris for more than 3 mo. or a previous myocardial infarction, and more than 1 ventricular ectopic beat per hour recorded on an 8 h dynamic ECG during convalescence just prior to hospital discharge. Patients (126) were followed for 5 or more yr and a 5 yr prognostic index is reported. Discriminant analysis indicates that the same 5 variables weighted differently continue to be significant for prognostic assessment and may be utilized in the identification of patients at high and lower risk.
