Number of diseased vessels in patients in prethrombolytic studies and in Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIM1) trial. cath = catheterization; VD = vessel disease.

3 Fig. 2 Patient selection effects in risk stratification studies in thrombolytic era. * = high-risk patients excluded before noninvasive testing—selection effects that render noninvasive testing less useful for predicting death or myocardial infarction (MI) in current era of thrombolytic therapy. PTCA = percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. Mayo Clinic Proceedings  , 87-94DOI: ( / ) Copyright © 1995 Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research Terms and Conditions
