Presence of Microvascular Dysfunction and CHA < sub > 2 < /sub > DS < sub > 2 < /sub > -VASc Score in Patients with ST-Segment Myocardial Infarction after Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Conclusions: The data of the current study point out that increased CHA2DS2-VASc score, lower systolic blood pressure #x3c;90 mm Hg, and stent diameter are associated with increased incidence of MVD (increased IMR) after PPCI of STEMI. We suggest that the CHA2DS2-VASc score may be a simple, inexpensive useful risk score for the prediction of MVD risk after PPCI for STEMI patients.Pulse
