Figure 3. Prospective Analysis: Complications and Mortality in Low-risk Telemetry and CCU vs. High-risk Patients.

Figure 3

Comparison of complications and mortality for high-risk (n=176), on protocol low-risk (n=177) and off protocol low-risk (n=109), prospectively studied STEMI patients. Any complication is defined as a composite of red blood cell transfusion, cardiogenic shock, congestive heart failure and new need for dialysis. Mortality was measured in-hospital and at 30-days and 1-year. RBC= red blood cell; CHF= congestive heart failure.

* No statistical difference between low-risk telemetry and low-risk CCU patients
