Due to limited published data, we investigated 3-year outcomes according to left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients older and younger than 75 years with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) who underwent successful newer-generation drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation. This research analyzed the data of 4558 patients (1032 older adults [≥75 years] and 3526 younger adults [<75 years]) from the Korea Acute MI Registry-NIH. We further divided the older group based on LVEF: heart failure (HF) with reduced EF (HFrEF, ≤40%, n = 196; group A), HF with mildly reduced EF (HFmrEF, 41-49%, n = 228; group B), and HF with preserved EF (HFpEF, ≥50%, n = 608; group C).

Background: In patients with multivessel disease with successful primary percutaneous coronary intervention for ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction, the FLOWER-MI trial (Flow Evaluation to Guide Revascularization in Multivessel ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction) showed that a fractional flow reserve (FFR)-guided strategy was not superior to an angiography-guided strategy for treatment of noninfarct-related artery lesions regarding the 1-year risk of death from any cause, myocardial infarction, or unplanned hospitalization leading to urgent revascularization. The extension phase of the trial was planned using the same primary outcome to determine whether a difference in outcomes would be observed with a longer follow-up.
Methods: In this multicenter trial, we randomly assigned patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction and multivessel disease with successful percutaneous coronary intervention of the infarct-related artery to receive complete revascularization guided by either FFR (n=586) or angiography (n=577).

Delayed intervention for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is associated with higher mortality. The association of door-to-ECG (D2E) with clinical outcomes has not been directly explored in a contemporary US-based population. This was a three-year, 10-center, retrospective cohort study of ED-diagnosed patients with STEMI comparing mortality between those who received timely (<10 min) vs.

Background: Increased levels of inflammatory markers have been found in association with the severity of coronary atherosclerosis. Systemic immuneinflammation index (SII), which is calculated by multiplying neutrophil and platelet counts and then dividing the result by the lymphocyte count, can also be used as a prognostic indicator in different cardiovascular diseases. In this study, we investigated SII levels and long-term mortality of patients with non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).

We compared the 3-year clinical outcomes according to the degree of pre-percutaneous coronary intervention thrombolysis in myocardial infarction flow grade (pre-PCI TIMI) and symptom-to-balloon time (SBT) individuals who underwent successful stent implantation with a diagnosis of non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). A total of 4910 patients with NSTEMI were divided into two groups: pre-PCI TIMI 0/1 (SBT < 48 h: = 1328, SBT ≥ 48 h: = 558) and pre-PCI TIMI 2/3 (SBT < 48 h: = 1965, SBT ≥ 48 h: = 1059). The primary outcome was a 3-year all-cause death rate, and the secondary outcome was the composite endpoint of 3-year all-cause death, recurrent MI, or any repeat revascularization rate.
