  • Title: The postmyocardial infarction syndrome--vanished or vanquished? A twenty-five-year follow-up. A case report.
    Author: Kossowsky WA, Lyon AF.
    Journal: Angiology; 1996 Jan; 47(1):83-5. PubMed ID: 8546351.
    Abstract:
    Although the existence of the postmyocardial infarction syndrome has now long been questioned, the Dressler symptom complex remains widely accepted as a distinct clinical entity. A patient is described whose twenty-five-year follow-up adds to our argument that there is no late or separate multisystem autoimmune disease following acute myocardial infarction. It is suggested that the Dressler complex is an entity that has neither vanished nor been vanquished but one that may never have existed.
