Abstract

Fatigue may be a commonly experienced symptom of acute myocardial infarction (AMI); however, there is a disturbing lack of data about the fatigue that occurs among men and women at the time of AMI. The purpose of this study was to characterize the fatigue experienced among men and women during AMI using three validated fatigue questionnaires.
