ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the long-term clinical outcomes in patients with anterior wall acute myocardial infarction ( AW-AMI) and non AW-AMI ( NAW-AMI) referred to primary percutaneous coronary intervention (P-PCI). Methods 287 patients with AMI who consecutively underwent primary PCI were divided into AW-AMI group (142 cases) and NAW-AMI group (145 cases) according to different location of myocardial infarction. The baseline characteristics and coronary artery lesions of patients were analysed. The primary end points were in-hospital mortality and the major cardiovascular events (MACE) during a mean 17.3?9.8 month follow-up including the occurrences of non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal congestive heart failure, revascularization of target vessels and overall cardiac-related death. Results The peak value of CK and CK-MB were significantly higher (3 533?2 888) U/L vs (2 322 ? 1 638)U/L, (158 ? 197) U/L vs (95 ? 64) U/L, all P
