The author intended to discuss the individual prognostic value of some best known risk stratification variables after Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI), whose tests have a low diagnostic accuracy due to high risk individual variations, emphasizing the statistic errors of using one single risk variable on post AMI risk stratification schemes. Some epidemiologic data about AMI survivors are reviewed and the author concludes by emphasizing the importance of using more AMI population characteristics on post AMI risk stratification schemes.
