Percutaneous coronary intervention can be associated with several complications such as periprocedural myocardial infarction (PPMI) that was defined as an elevation of CK-MB >3 times the upper limit of the normal range in at least two blood samples with a normal range of baseline value, prolonged ischemia as demonstrated by persistent chest pain (>20 min), or new pathological Q waves seen on the electrocardiogram. By epidemiology, periprocedural myocardial infarction was happen in about 6 – 7% patient underwent PCI and associated with adverse outcome. Therefore it is important to identify the possible factors to detect, prevent and manage this event.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
