Hypothesis: To evaluate the clinical and prognostic role of haemodynamically insignificant stenosis of the extracranial arteries (ECA) and lower extremity arteries (LEA) among patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
Patients And Methods: The study sample consisted of 423 patients with STEMI who were consecutively admitted to the Kemerovo Cardiological Centre.
Results: The prevalence of polyvascular diseases (PVD), as defined by an increased intima-media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid artery or by stenosis of the ECA or LEA, was 95%.
