Extent o muscle loss: Mi implies occlusion of an artery that bring blood supply to the heart muscle and an infarction or death of the heart muscle. So if the the infarction size is small, and preferably if the rest of the heart muscle is supplied with adequte blood supply, there should not be too many side effects after one recovers from an mi. At 92, other factors, cardiac reserve, additonal disease etc contribute.
