Clinical outcome of patients with ST‐elevation myocardial infarction and angiographic evidence of coronary artery ectasia
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions May 11, 2021
Baldi C, Silverio A, Esposito L, et al. - Researchers investigated coronary artery ectasia (CAE) prevalence in ST‐elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients as well as they compared the long‐term outcome of individuals with and without CAE receiving emergent coronary angiography, in this retrospective, single‐center, study. The primary endpoint was recurrent myocardial infarction (MI) evaluation in cases with vs those without CAE at the longest available follow‐up. To account for potential selection bias between groups, experts applied propensity score weighting technique. Findings revealed a distinct clinical and angiographic profile of STEMI patients with CAE and there was a significantly higher risk of recurrent MI in these patients when compared with participants without CAE.
