ST resolution in a single electrocardiographic lead: A simple and accurate predictor of cardiac mortality in patients with fibrinolytic therapy for acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction

ST resolution obtained in a single lead is an easy and accurate prognosticator of cardiac 30-day mortality in patients with ST-elevation MI. It is therefore useful for early identification of low- and high-risk subgroups after fibrinolysis and as a surrogate end point in clinical trials.
