Background: The global trend of population aging has resulted in more frequent cardiovascular disease among seniors. Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) is the standard of care for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) without an upper age limit. Nevertheless, the outcomes are variable among studies, and data on pPCI outcomes in the elderly in Africa is scarce.

Background And Objectives: The optimal timing for complete revascularization (CR) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and multivessel disease (MVD) remain uncertain.
Methods: This post-hoc analysis of the FRAME-AMI trial included AMI patients with MVD ( = 549). They were classified into immediate ( = 329) and staged CR ( = 220) groups.

Background: In patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and multivessel coronary artery disease, the optimal management strategy for non-culprit lesions is a subject of ongoing debate. There has been an increasing use of physiology-guidance to assess the extent of occlusion in non-culprit lesions, and hence the need for stenting. Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is commonly used as a technique.

Background: The classification of major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) endpoints in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and either confirmed coronary artery disease (CAD) or high CAD risk, as well as the extent of the association between T2DM and coronary plaque characteristics, remains uncertain.
Purpose: This meta-analysis aims to compare MACE endpoints between patients with diabetes and patients without diabetes based on coronary artery plaques.
Methods: We searched studies from Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library up until September 1, 2023.

National Key Laboratory of Frigid Zone Cardiovascular Disease, Cardiovascular Research Institute and Department of Cardiology, General Hospital of Northern Theater Command, Shenyang, Liaoning, China.
Background: The consensus on whether acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (MVD) benefit from complete revascularization during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is unclear.
Aims: This study aims to assess the impact of multivessel PCI (MV-PCI) versus culprit-vessel-only PCI (CV-PCI) on in-hospital outcomes in a Chinese population.
Methods: We evaluated STEMI patients with MVD undergoing PCI, registered in the Improving Care for Cardiovascular Disease in China-Acute Coronary Syndrome (CCC-ACS) project, from November 2014 to December 2019.
