Myocardial infarction with multivessel disease of coronary arteries
Retrospective study analysis of outcomes in different clinical groups (single-vessel and multivessel disease of coronary artery) of STEMI patients was performed. The cases of 97 patients who underwent emergency coronary arteriography were studied. Mortality depending on the severity of the coronary arteries' affection or the choice of treatment was analyzed. Patients were divided into groups according to age, sex, duration of disease. Based on the results of research it was revealed that amount of patients with single-vessel and multivessel disease of coronary arteries is approximately equal; there is no significant difference in mortality in these groups, but urgent revascularization significantly reduces mortality in both groups. The factors of high risk regardless of the extent of coronary artery disease — age over 75 years old and female — were designated.
