Abstract

Curves of serum creatine kinase activity against time following an acute myocardial infarct suggest that the usual Q-wave infarct evolves over a 24–36 hour period. Consequently, recurrent chest pain after its initial subsidence during this interval cannot be attributed a priori to reversible ischemia but may arise from the evolving infarct. However, after the first 1–2 days, recurrence of chest pain presumably reflects either reversible ischemia or an extension of the original infarct.
