Protective Effect of Pre-Infarction Angina on Microvascular Obstruction After Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Is Blunted in Humans by Cardiovascular Risk Factors
Abstract
Background:Pre-infarction angina (PIA) has been shown to reduce the microvascular obstruction (MVO) rate in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). We sought to evaluate the potential modulator role of cardiovascular risk factors (CRFs) on this protective effect.Methods and Results:Two hundred patients with STEMI were enrolled. PIA was defined as typical chest pain within the 48 h preceding STEMI onset. Angiographic MVO...
