Abstract
The aim of our study was to compare the prognostic value of stress echocard iography and exercise electrocardiography after uncomplicated non-Q-wave ac ute myocardial infarction in a series of 89 female patients. Our data show that stress echocardiography has independent predictive value in a female p atient population recovering from uncomplicated acute myocardial infarction .
