Management and long-term outcomes of patients with chronic inflammatory diseases experiencing ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: The SCALIM registry.

Background: Patients with chronic inflammatory diseases (CIDs) are at increased risk of cardiovascular events. However, the prognostic impact of CID after an acute coronary event has been poorly studied.

Aims: To examine the effect of history of CID on long-term outcome in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
