preinfarto del miocardio Killip y Kimbal A

As written, the glossary entry is wrong.

There is a myocardial preinfarction syndrome but no such thing as an acute myocardial preinfarction - and the Killip-Kimball classification applies only to established infarcts. The classification is usually I, II, III, IV and not A, B, C, D.

I just realized the asker has found that the source said "reinfarto". That changes half of the answer, but the rest is still wrong, and how on earth could we have known that the source was different from what was written?

Liz wants an apology! She is still wrong. This is not the person "A Kimball", but Killip-Kindall A (or B, C or D). And try to Google "myocardial preinfarction". You get hundreds of hits.... You picked the wrong answer Fernando.

While the point is moot as it has been established that it is "reinfarto" vs. "preinfarto", I found some additional links:

Bingo! Many thanks. I don't feel too bad now (joke).

I am working on an illegible hard copy. After liz' comment, I realized that where it says "preinfarto" it should say "reinfarto".
Thanks

Interestingly, too, I have been unable to find ANY Spanish refs. to "preinfarto del miocardio"...? Something fishy here.

Look folks...I don't mind being told I'm wrong, but please supply the references to prove you are right! I have failed to come up with ANY UK refs for myocardial preinfarction, just constant refs to preinfarction angina...
