Clinical Characteristics and Prognosis of Young Middle Eastern Adults with ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction: One-Year Follow-Up.

Methods And Material: A total of 706 patients with STEMI, who were prospectively enrolled in the First Jordanian Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Registry, were stratified into two groups (<45 or ≥45 years).
