Temporal Trends in Cardiovascular Events After Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) has been the national reperfusion strategy for patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in Denmark since 2003. We recently reported a gradual reduction in 1-year mortality in patients with pPCI-treated STEMI. To elucidate potential causes of this reduction, we examined trends in major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).

Objectives

The purpose of this study was to examine trends in 1-year risk of MACE following pPCI-treated STEMI from 2003 to 2017.

Methods

The Western Denmark Heart Registry was used to identify first-time PCI-treated patients undergoing pPCI for STEMI from 2003 to 2017. Patients were categorized into 4 time periods (2003-2006, 2007-2010, 2011-2014, and 2015-2017) and
