| Abstract |
In patients admitted to the hospital because of unstable angina, a subgroup can be recognized that is at high risk for the development of an extensive anterior wall myocardial infarction. These patients, who show characteristic ST-T segment changes in the precordial leads on or shortly after admission, have a critical stenosis high in the left anterior descending coronary artery. Of 145 patients consecutively admitted because of unstable angina, 26 (18%) showing this ECG pattern, suggesting that this finding is not rare. In spite of symptom control by nitroglycerin and beta blockade, 12 of 16 patients (75%) who were not operated on developed a usually extensive anterior wall infarction within a few weeks after admission. In view of these observations, urgent coronary angiography and, when possible, coronary revascularization should be done in patients with unstable angina who show this ECG pattern. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 55. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 29 March 2024.
All research outputs
#781,434
of 26,017,215 outputs
Outputs from American Heart Journal
#101
of 5,637 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#39
of 7,649 outputs
Outputs of similar age from American Heart Journal
#1
of 18 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 26,017,215 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 96th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,637 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.8. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 98% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 7,649 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 18 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 94% of its contemporaries.
