High-sensitivity C-reactive protein and long term reperfusion success of primary percutaneous intervention in ST-elevation myocardial infarction

摘要

Aims: In STEMI patients, success of reperfusion of primary PCI predicts cardiac remodeling and clinical outcome. This success may depend on inflammation. We aimed to investigate the association between inflammation and reperfusion success, left ventricular function and long-term mortality in STEMI patients.
