Study design. Selection of study population. *Patients were excluded from the study if they did not have an assessment of coronary anatomy by angiography during the week after their myocardial infarction (MI) or subsequent assessment of cardiac structure and function using echocardiography within 1 month post-MI; or if the had a history of preexisting atrial fibrillation (AF); prior documentation of heart failure or reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <50%; severe valvular heart disease; moderate-to-severe left ventricular hypertrophy; AF after recent coronary artery bypass graft; or pericarditis.
