The prognostic value of @entity296 early after @entity583 ( @entity583 ) is still controversial, depending on the @entity1 under study and the outcome end point considered. Furthermore, the relative prognostic importance of viability compared with indicators of @entity1002 is not known. One hundred thirty-eight @entity1 were studied with low-dose @entity452 echocardiography 3 +/- 1 days after @entity583 . @entity1 were divided in 2 groups based on presence (n = 55) or absence (n = 83) of @entity296 and followed up for in-hospital and late @entity299 . During hospitalization, @entity296 was the only independent predictor for recurrent @entity63 events (chi-square 5.0, p = 0.025). End-systolic volume index and ejection fraction were both independent predictors of the occurrence of @entity712 , whereas gender and end-systolic volume index emerged as independent predictors of hard @entity299 ( @entity204 and sustained @entity1165 ). After hospital discharge, @entity1 were followed for 19 +/- 7 months. Again, @entity296 emerged as the only independent predictor of @entity1459 (chi-square 7.7, p = 0.005). Age, @entity101 , and ejection fraction were the most important independent predictors of hospitalization for @entity712 , whereas ejection fraction was the only independent predictor of hard @entity299 . Presence of @entity296 early after @entity583 is the single best predictor of recurrent in-hospital @entity63 events and @entity1459 after discharge. With respect to hard @entity299 and occurrence of @entity712 , indicators of @entity1002 have a higher prognostic value than presence of @entity296 .
