“…First, as a single-center study, there is a question about whether these results can be extrapolated. Long-term data from realworld reports describe results similar to those we have found (5-year mortality rates between 15 and 25 % and recurrent MI as high as 23 %) [25][26][27][28][29][30]. The long-term prevalence of ST published in the literature varies and depends on aspects such as the definition and type of ST, the study era, the antiplatelet therapy strategy used, and the proportion of acute patients.…”
