Symptom-to-balloon time and risk of ventricular arrhythmias in patients with STEMI undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: The VERY-STEMI study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) mainly occur in the early post-myocardial infarction (MI) period. However, studies examining the association between total myocardial ischemia time interval and the risk of new-onset VAs during a long-term follow-up are scarce.

Methods

This study (symptom-to-balloon time and VEntricular aRrhYthmias in patients with STEMI, VERY-STEMI study) was a multicenter, observational cohort and real-world study, which included patients with ST-segment elevation MI (STEMI) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The primary endpoint was cumulative new-onset VAs during follow-up. The secondary endpoints were the major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and changes in left ventricular ejection fraction (ΔLV
