Association between quantitative flow ratio and clinical outcomes in multivessel disease STEMI patients with diabetes mellitus.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Among patients with multivessel disease and ST-elevation myocardial infarction (MVD-STEMI), complete revascularization (CR) has been shown with improved outcomes. However, it is controversial whether diabetes mellitus (DM) status affects the outcomes. Quantitative flow ratio (QFR), as a newer non-invasive tool for identifying functional coronary stenosis and determining the presence of functional CR (FCR), may open up a new perspective for studying the above issues. The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate an association between QFR-based FCR and clinical outcomes in MVD-STEMI patients under DM status.

Methods

A total of 623 patients were included in the final analysis. The patients were divided into nonDM cohort and DM cohort. Within each cohort, pa
